Monitoring Well Installation & Testing


Any petrochemical storage site (not just service stations) which has an Underground Storage Tank must have Groundwater Monitoring Wells installed and monitored by 01 June 2011, as required by New South Wales EPA.

Stacks Image 92
Groundwater Monitoring Wells are located outside of the tank excavation and enable sampling of ground water in areas with permeable soil, where the water table is below the level of the bottom of the petrochemical tanks on site, but within six metres of the surface.

The person responsible for a UPSS (usually the owner/operator) is required to have in place per
NSW EPA UPSS regulations:

  • a system for detecting and monitoring leaks;
  • groundwater monitoring wells at sensitive locations and a program to test them;
  • an Environment Protection Plan for the facility;
  • systems in place for record keeping, reporting of leaks and notifying the local council when a UPSS is decommissioned.
