What is the definition of an underground storage tank?

DEC - Division of Spill Prevention and Response - Frequently...
underground storage tank or underground storage tank system means one or more stationary devices, including any connected underground pipes, designed to contain an accumulation of petroleum, of which the volume, including the volume of underground pipes, is 10% or more beneath the surface of the grade. DEC's definition is essentially the same as EPA's, although Alaska does not include tanks that store Hazardous Waste. Please see regulations governing UST's (18 AAC 78) for more information.

Question: What is the total underground natural gas storage capacity?

Natural Gas FAQs - Energy Information Administration
There are several ways that total underground working gas capacity may be measured. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated in mid 2006 that, after adjustment for operational considerations that hinder the attainment of full storage at all fields simultaneously, a likely practical estimate for maximum industry-wide working gas capacity is roughly 3.6 Tcf. However, based on design capacity estimates, U.S. working gas capacity was 4.01 Tcf as of the end of 2005.

Why should an underground storage tank be tested?

Hera Tech, Inc, -Faq
Heating oil companies that offer tank protection do not cover the cost of cleanups which may be related to pre-existing tank or oil leaks which are found when a homeowner converts to gas. The entire cleanup cost may not be covered by tank protection. Sellers and potential home buyers should be aware and correct problems with the oil tank to avoid any concerns regarding liability and avoid the possibility of a delay in closing.

Why do we worry about storage tanks, particularly underground storage tanks, in Florida?

Frequently Asked Questions
One word - LEAKS! Florida’s groundwater is at or near land surface in many areas of the state. Even when ground water lies deeper beneath the surface, Florida’s porous limestone rock and sandy soils allow easy percolation of leaked or spilled contamination into the aquifer. Also, because of the generally high water table, many tanks and their piping are buried in damp soils or even in the groundwater. This promotes corrosion.

Can I replace my old underground storage tank with a new one?

The Kaufman Fuel Company
Yes, however, the National Oilheat Research Alliance (NORA) recommends that homeowners replace underground tanks with new, leak-proof aboveground models. Even though modern underground tanks are made of double-walled plastic and fiberglass so they won't corrode, there's still a chance leaks can develop in the piping if they are not properly installed. Either way, check with your local municipality for regulations regarding the replacement and/or decommission of underground tanks.

Is it better to hang the wiring in the air or bury the cabling underground?

EVS :: Erdman Video Systems
Since the wiring only carries a low voltage AC(20v) usually no permits are required to bury the cable in the ground. If your install is at a jobsite where they might dig into the ground and potentially damage the cable remember to mark off the location and show it to the job foreman. Hanging the cable can potentially be dangerous is car or other vehicles travel underneath the cable. Make sure to tie off the cable properly so there is not extra slack causing the cable to hang low.

Can antimatter be used for energy storage?

Antimatter FAQ
Yes. For storing small amounts of energy in an extremely compact way, antimatter is very useful. The energy density stored in antimatter is about 1 billion times higher than in batteries. But: the amount of antimatter that is produced each year in big accelerator labs such as CERN or Fermilab corresponds to an energy that would allow a 100 W light bulb shine for 15 minutes.
