The Underground Storage Tank Branch (USTB) has ranked all Petroleum Storage Tank Environmental Assurance Fund (PSTEAF) reimbursable facilities requiring corrective action, in accordance with 401 KAR 42:290.  Directive letters will be issued on the basis of facility ranking and available PSTEAF funding in sequential order as ranked.  For example, Rank 2 facilities will be issued directives before Rank 3 facilities.  The AEI and AEII sections are currently evaluating Rank 3 facilities. 

If the USTB receives misrepresentations, or otherwise inaccurate information, or receives new information related to specific facilities, it may amend facility rankings.  A facility that has been ranked based upon accurate classification of the facility shall not thereafter receive a lower priority ranking as a result of the performance of directed corrective actions.
