Storage Tank Insurance Program Options Discussed by Legends

Jan. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “There are approximately 587,000 underground storage tanks (USTs) nationwide that store petroleum or hazardous substances. The greatest potential threat from a leaking UST is contamination of groundwater, the source of drinking water for nearly half of all Americans.”

Obtaining pollution liability insurance coverage for either aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) or underground storage tanks can be challenging, time consuming and an expensive necessity for owners and operators of these tanks.  To address this need, Legends Environmental Insurance Services has developed storage tank programs that provide pollution liability coverage for aboveground and underground storage tanks containing petroleum and petroleum related products.  

The policy meets the requirements for the insured to receive an Environmental Protection Agency Certificate of Insurance provided they maintain compliance.  This program is ideal for a number of insured categories, including:
•   Petroleum marketers
•   Service stations
•   Colleges & universities
•   Hospitals & medical facilities
•   Trucking & distribution operations
•   Fuel distribution fleet facilities & garages
•   Various UST owners and operators

“Petroleum storage tanks play a vital role in keeping businesses and the economy running smoothly,” reported Brian Mcfarland, Vice President of Legends.  “Legends is pleased to be able to offer both AST and UST insurance programs that offer great rates and comprehensive coverage.  Premiums begin at just $500 and deductible plans are available starting at $5000.”
