UST Facility Owners

                               ***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.

TANK REGISTRATION

Annual tank registration is required by the Rules that govern the UST program.  Each UST facility must be registered annually between August 1 and December 31. In addition, a UST facility must be registered within 30 days of an ownership change or addition of new tanks. Click here for more information on Tank Registration.

Selling Your Facility:  If you are selling your facility, please take the proper steps in closing out your tank registration and information. Updating the ownership information and properly transferring records to the new owner will allow a smooth transition and closeout of your responsibilities.  The document below will provide you with valuable information:
