California UST Compliance Deadline: Less Than 40 Days Remaining
California Senate Bill 445 requires all single-walled underground storage tanks (USTs) and non-compliant piping to be permanently closed or replaced by December 31, 2025. With the deadline rapidly approaching, businesses need reliable execution of their compliance plans. All single-walled USTs in California must be addressed by year-end to maintain environmental compliance. No exemptions or extensions are available.

ICS delivers comprehensive turnkey UST compliance services to meet the December 31st deadline. Contact us to discuss your project needs.

ICS proudly participated as an Ace Sponsor at Pretend City’s 16th Annual Charity Poker Challenge!

This remarkable non-profit creates magical spaces where children can explore, discover, and let their imaginations run wild in an environment designed specifically for them.
The evening perfectly blended excitement with impact, every hand played and every chip raised brought us closer to supporting the next generation of learners.

Our ICS project teams recently mobilized for an ambitious large-scale former oil field remediation project involving soil excavation and extensive pipeline removal at multiple contaminated areas across a significant development site in Orange County, CA! Our crews are managing the excavation, segregation and treatment/disposal of over 100,000 cubic yards of TPH and metal-impacted soil from sumps, oil wells, drainage channels, historical roadways, and underground storage tank areas.
This dynamic project combines advanced bioremediation treatment for hydrocarbon-contaminated soils, rigorous SCAQMD regulatory compliance for heavy metal and VOC-impacted materials, air quality monitoring, and waste segregation/profiling/disposal protocols. With nearly three decades of environmental construction experience in California, our team is driving this complex multi-phase remediation forward while delivering zero-compromise safety and regulatory performance.
This project demonstrates the specialized expertise required to transform contaminated industrial sites into clean, developable land that powers future community growth.
Last week, Co-Founder Hirad Emadi, P.E. had the privilege of hosting a crew lunch at our Bond Basin Slope Repair project for the Orange County Water District (OCWD) in Orange, CA. It was even more special having OCWD representatives join us for tacos and conversation!
These team BBQ lunches are always unique, and we treasure each one. We shared great laughs and enjoyed perfect weather with amazing company - truly a lunch for the books. Moments like these, spent sitting down and connecting with everyone, are honestly the highlight of my week.
Hearing OCWD share that they genuinely enjoy working with us was incredibly rewarding. Our ICS project teams continue to exemplify our core purpose - building trust and lasting relationships – and we couldn`t be prouder!
What an incredible afternoon connecting with our SoCal ICS family at our annual company picnic this past weekend! From potion-making and spooky decoration stations to petting zoos and our popular "mini digger" activity, plus the always-competitive annual cornhole tournament – the day was filled with amazing memories in the making.
Our company picnics create the perfect opportunity to come together not just as colleagues, but as a family. Being surrounded by our like-minded people is exactly how our Co-Founders Hirad Emadi, P.E. and John R. White always envisioned ICS when they started this journey. "We had no idea we`d be so fortunate to meet so many wonderful individuals along the way."
A huge thank you to everyone who attended and to those who helped make this fantastic event happen!
Our Washington project teams recently completed a meticulous remediation project on a lakeside property at Lake Sammamish! Subsurface investigations revealed the release of heating oil into subsurface soil and groundwater from a former underground storage tank (UST), with contaminants found largely in the upland portion of the property.
This comprehensive environmental cleanup included residential demolition, remedial excavation and disposal of petroleum-contaminated soil, treatment and disposal of petroleum-contaminated groundwater, and site restoration to facilitate construction of a new residence beginning this month.
Our crews worked with archaeological monitors throughout the project to protect cultural resources while implementing erosion controls to safeguard the sensitive Lake Sammamish ecosystem. From demolition to site preparation for a new residential build, every phase prioritized environmental compliance and safety in this tight-knit community on the shore of Lake Sammamish. This project represents another step toward safer communities and cleaner waterways in the Pacific Northwest. Thank you to our ICS teams for their expertise and dedication!
