The purpose of this chapter is to:
(i) establish requirements for registration
of facilities and individual ASTs located within the Commonwealth;
(ii) provide the department with the
information necessary to identify and inventory facilities with an aggregate
storage capacity of greater than 1,320 gallons of oil or an individual AST with
a storage capacity of greater than 660 gallons of oil;
(iii) develop standards and procedures for
operators of facilities with an aggregate aboveground storage capacity of
25,000 gallons or greater of oil relating to the prevention of pollution from
new and existing aboveground storage tanks;
(iv) provide requirements for the development
of facility oil discharge contingency plans for facilities with an aggregate
aboveground storage capacity of 25,000 gallons or greater of oil that will
ensure that the applicant can take such steps as are necessary to protect
environmentally sensitive areas, to respond to the threat of an oil discharge,
and to contain, clean up and mitigate an oil discharge within the shortest
feasible time, where plans must address concerns for the effect of oil
discharges on the environment as well as considerations of public health and
safety; and
(v) provide
requirements for facilities and individual ASTs with an aggregate aboveground
storage capacity of one million gallons or greater of oil to conduct a
groundwater characterization study (GCS) within the geographic boundaries of a
facility; to submit the GCS as part of the oil discharge contingency plan; to
conduct a monthly gauging and inspection of GCS monitoring wells, monitoring of
well headspace and sampling and laboratory analysis of GCS monitoring wells;
and to gather all observations and data maintained at the facility and compile
and submit them as an annual report to the department.
