Ramez Ziadeh DEP Executive Deputy Secretary | Department of Environmental Protection
The Pennsylvania Insurance Department and the Department of Environmental Protection marked the 30th anniversary of the Underground Storage Tank Indemnification Fund (USTIF). This program aids in cleaning up leaks from underground fuel tanks, protecting the environment, business owners, and communities across Pennsylvania.
Underground fuel storage tanks at gas stations and other businesses can leak, potentially contaminating soil and groundwater. USTIF operates like a small insurance company, providing financial assistance for cleanup efforts and repairs to prevent long-term environmental damage.
Speakers at the event included Nick Ruffner from Sheetz, Inc., Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Michael Humphreys, Deputy Insurance Commissioner Laura Lyon Slaymaker, DEP Executive Deputy Secretary Ramez Ziadeh, and USTIF Board Member Andrew Greiner.
