What action is necessary to clean up a spill or overfill, according to MUSTR requirements?

The appropriate action required to address a spill or overfill according to MUSTR (Maryland Underground Storage Tank Regulations) requirements is to immediately clean up the spill. This action is crucial to minimize environmental impact and ensure safety. Prompt cleanup helps prevent the spread of contaminants, protects nearby water sources, and reduces the risk of fire or hazard to personnel.

When a spill or overfill occurs, the regulatory guidelines emphasize quick response actions to mitigate potential harm. An immediate cleanup not only addresses the physical presence of spillage but also aids in assessing any potential environmental damage, allowing for recovery efforts to begin swiftly. Proper procedures and resources should be utilized to ensure that the cleanup is conducted safely and effectively, in compliance with local laws and environmental standards.

Timely intervention is a key step in ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and promoting safe practices in handling hazardous materials.
