Common Questions About UST Contractors in New Hampshire
Does New Hampshire require a licensed UST contractor?
Not a state license, but certification is required for regulated tanks. New Hampshire's underground storage tank rules allow only a certified tank installer to install a tank or its parts, and require a certified tank remover to supervise any closure. Both require International Code Council certification, and an installer must also be qualified by the equipment manufacturer. A tank used solely to heat a home is outside these rules.

Who regulates underground storage tanks in New Hampshire?
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services oversees underground storage tank regulations in New Hampshire. Federal requirements come from the EPA underground storage tank program.
How do I verify a UST contractor's credentials in New Hampshire?
For a regulated tank, ask for the International Code Council certificate of the person who will install the tank or supervise its removal, and for an installer, the equipment manufacturer's qualification. For a home heating oil tank, which these underground tank rules do not cover, ask for proof of insurance, relevant training, and references from recent tank projects.
