  UST Assurance Account Liabilities Report
The purpose of the UST Assurance Account Liabilities Report is due to the requirement of an act of the legislature. Senate Bill 1306, Laws 2004, Chapter 273 (46th Legislature, Second Regular Session, 2004) provided for the phase out of eligibility and eventual termination of the Underground Storage Tank Assurance Account, hereafter referred to as the State Assurance Fund (SAF). Senate Bill 1306 also established a Regulated Substances Fund (RSF) to be used by ADEQ for cleanup of underground storage tank (UST) releases following termination of the SAF. The RSF is to be funded through transfers of balances remaining in the SAF after payment of claims that are submitted to ADEQ by June 30, 2010.
