USTMP Pre and Post Flood Checklist
***SCAM ALERT***
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division Underground Storage Tank Management Program (USTMP) has received information about scammers trying to impersonate the USTMP by requesting GEOS users to verify/update their contact information using a link in an email or by copy/paste a web address.
Please be aware that the USTMP will never contact GEOS users, or any member of the public, threatening to revoke UST registration. Every notification the USTMP sends to the public will always be via official means and therefore, you should never disclose your pin, password, or personal information to anyone.
Should you wish to complete the Annual Tank Registration (ATR) for 2024, log in to your GEOS account and follow the application process within the portal. Please contact the ATR Helpline at 404-362-2590 or [email protected] if you have any questions.
