Know Your UST Program: Michigan

The Michigan Underground Storage Tank Authority (MUSTA) program has been open since 2014. Any release that has been discovered and reported on or after 12/30/2014 is eligible for the MUSTA program. There is a $10 thousand deductible and a $1 million cap for all eligible releases.

The state’s other UST program, the Legacy Release Program (LRP) was created in 2017. Unlike MUSTA, LRP was specifically created for releases that were discovered, reported, and not closed before 12/30/2014. There is no deductible in the LRP, however, there is a 50% copay on all approved costs, as well as a $50 thousand cap per release.
