Deadline to Comply with Above Ground Petroleum Storage Act (AST) State and Federal Requirements is November 11, 2011
As of January 1, 2008 Assembly Bill 1130 transferred the responsibility for the implementation, enforcement and administration of the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act from the State Water Resources Control Board to the CUPA see Aboveground Petroleum Act Program Brochure. This law mandates a CUPA to conduct inspections of all facilities that store petroleum petroleum products in containers of 55-gallons or greater, including above ground tanks, with a total aggregate quantity of at least 10,000 gallons. This law requires all facilities that store an aggregate quantity of at least 1320 gallons of petroleum/petroleum products including waste oil to submit a storage statement to the CUPA on an annual basis. Facilities that store petroleum/petroleum products that meet or exceed the aggregate quantity of of 1320 gallons are required to prepare a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan and implement its provisions. The exception to this law is a farm, nursery, construction site, or logging site is exempt from preparing a SPCC unless the tank is equal to or exceeds 20,000 gallons and the cumulative total capacity is more than 100,000 gallons. However, farms, nurseries, construction sites, or logging sites must conduct daily inspections of containers and tanks containing petroleum - petroleum products, allow the CUPA to inspect the facility, and install secondary containment if the CUPA deems it necessary. For more information see Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act, California EPA Scope of CUPA Implementation, Cal EPA Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act FAQs, SPCC Guidance Regional Inspectors, Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasure Plan Requirements, and Summary of Federal SPCC Regulations. For additional information contact Cal EPA at www.calepa.ca.gov/CUPA/Aboveground. For cleanup of a release from a petroleum aboveground go to the Site Mitigation Program.
