To satisfy public interest

The correct answer is: To ensure compliance and safety

Accurate monitor records are essential primarily to ensure compliance and safety regarding the operation and maintenance of underground storage tanks (USTs). These records provide critical data that can help identify potential leaks, detect malfunctions in the monitoring systems, and ensure that all safety measures are consistently applied. Compliance with local, state, and federal regulations is mandatory to protect the environment and public health. Inaccurate records could lead to undetected issues, resulting in environmental contamination, legal liabilities, or safety hazards. When records reflect the true state of operations, they reinforce the integrity of monitoring systems, emphasizing that USTs are functioning within regulatory limits and are being properly maintained. This not only supports regulatory compliance but fundamentally serves the primary goal of surrounding health and safety.
