The rules were to mandate owners of UST systems to verify, maintain, and cleanup sites damaged by petroleum contamination.

If I could give them a 10 star I would! I was looking for an environmental consultant, they popped up on google and I called them. Unfortunately they are in Kansas and I am in Utah. Instead of just hanging up John followed up with if I had any questions that he could help with. Even going so far as to take my number to have the right person call me just to answer any of my questions. Emily, being that person, actually walked in at that moment and took time to answer any questions that I had. John then went further and said that he had a cousin in Utah that he'd reach out to that perhaps would know
