The goal of the new UST Expedited Cleanup Account Program (ECAP) is to reduce the overall costs for site cleanup and the time to reach closure by increasing coordination with the regulators, claimants/consultants, and the UST Cleanup Fund (Fund). SB 445 requires an ECAP Pilot Project that will include claimants that meet certain criteria. The State Water Resources Control Board’s list of eligible claimants and sites can be found by using the link below. Claimants for those cases that meet the Pilot Project criteria will be invited to participate in the Pilot Project Report Study or can request that they allowed to participate in the program.
