Common Questions About UST Contractors in Michigan
Does Michigan require a licensed UST contractor?
No. Michigan does not currently issue a UST-specific contractor license. Tank work is regulated through permits, notifications, and inspections rather than contractor licensing.
Who regulates underground storage tanks in Michigan?
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy oversees underground storage tank regulations in Michigan. Federal requirements come from the EPA underground storage tank program.
How do I verify a UST contractor's credentials in Michigan?
Ask for proof of insurance, relevant training, and references from recent tank projects. Michigan does not maintain a UST contractor license register, so direct vetting matters more here than in licensing states.
