Common Questions About UST Contractors in South Dakota
Does South Dakota require a licensed UST contractor?

How do I verify a UST contractor's credentials in South Dakota?
Ask for proof of insurance, relevant training, and references from recent tank projects. South Dakota does not maintain a UST contractor license register, so direct vetting matters more here than in licensing states.
