Financial Responsibility6.1 Financial ResponsibilityOwners or operators of USTswhich hold petroleum must demonstrate financial responsibil-ity. The

48、se requirements are designed to ensure that someonecan pay the costs of cleaning up leaks and compensatingthird-parties for bodily injury and property damage caused byleaking USTs. The total amount of coverage required under thefederal rule is determined by the type of business, the amountof through

49、put of the tanks at a facility, and the number of tanksowned nationwide. The amount of coverage that an ownermust demonstrate may be changed due to coverage provided bya state financial assurance fund. The following mechanismsmay be used to meet the financial responsibility requirements:6.1.1 Insurance policy,6.1.2 Guarantee,6.1.3 Letter of credit,6.1.4 Self insurance.6.1.5 State financial assurance fund,6.1.6 Surety bond,6.1.7 Dedicated trust fund, and6.1.8 State approved method.6.1.9 The following four additional mechanisms may beused by local gover
