LUST Recovery Act Quarterly Report

[NaepcA1]

I am writing to tell you that the LUST Recovery Act quarterly performance report for April 1 – June 30, 2012 is now available on EPA’s website at www.epa.gov/oust/eparecovery/perfmeas.htm. This report provides data regarding performance measures and jobs supported by LUST Recovery Act money. The report gives interested stakeholders a more detailed look at how Recovery Act money is helping to assess and clean up releases from underground storage tanks, while also providing economic benefits to communities across America.

As of the end of June, 45 of the 54 states and territories that received LUST Recovery Act money completed their work. The remaining states, which are scheduled to complete their work by March 2013, will continue to report accomplishments and jobs. As work is completed, the accomplishments and jobs states report each quarter will decrease.

Thanks to those of you and your staff who provided information and conducted a quality assurance and quality control review of the LUST Recovery Act performance measures. If you have questions about this quarter’s report, please contact me or Steven McNeely (mcneely.steven@epa.gov or 703-603-7164).
