Release Notes 5/14/2026: New Pivvot Data Layers

📍 Introducing Two New Data Layers

UST Facility Tank – Collected from state agencies and integrated into a national database by EPA's Office of Research and Development, Office of Underground Storage Tanks, and the Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials. Tabular information includes the number of open, closed, and Temporarily Out-of-Service (TOS) USTs, locational information, estimated private domestic wells within 1,500 feet, estimated population within 1,500 ft, proximity to FEMA’s estimated 100-year floodplain, land-use type, and information on corresponding drinking water source protection areas.

UST Release – Any spilling, leaking, emitting, discharging, escaping, leaching or disposing from an Underground Storage Tank (UST) into groundwater, surface water or subsurface soils. From a practical perspective, anytime field tests indicate the presence of petroleum in natural soils and/or groundwater, or if free product (petroleum sheen) is observed on a water surface, a release has been confirmed.

As always, detailed information on this update—and all Pivvot data layers—is available in the Data Dictionary. If you have any questions, please contact Pivvot Client Success at support@pivvot.com.
