Year Published: 1986
Abstract: By May 8, 1986, all owners of underground tanks used to store specific petroleum products or hazardous substances must notify the government of the existence of these tanks or risk substantial fines. In addition, the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 require thai the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) develop regulations specifying design, construction, maintenance, and operation standards for new underground tanks and also for existing underground tanks. Section 9003(g) of the 1984 Amendments establishes interim design and construction standards for new underground tanks, which will remain in effect until EPA promulgates other new underground tank rules under the law. Civil penalties of up to 10,000 per day per lank installed in violation of these standards can be assessed. Of major .significance to the gas industry, ihe law exempts pipeline facilities from the definition of underground tanks.
