Control 

****************************************~******************************* ./ 

Statutory and Regulatory Reference: 

Title 38 M.R.S.A. Section 585-A, Establishment of Standards - This statutory section 

provides that the Board of Environmental Protection "may establish and amend 

regulations to implement ambient air quality standards and emission standards. These 

regulations shall be designed to achieve and maintain ambient air quality standards and 

emission standards within any region and prevent air pollution". 

Location/ Applicabilitv: 

Statewide 

Description: 

EPA requires petroleum storage vessels to be inspected every five or ten years 

depending on the type of system, with inspections required every ten years for single 

seal systems and every five years for double seal systems. Tank inspections, which 

involve the degassing and refilling of a storage tank, cause VOCs to be emitted to the 

atmospher~.· VOCs contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone. Decreasing the 

inspection frequency from annually to every five or ten years reduces the overall VOC 

emissions emitted from this activity. Air emission licenses currently require this 

inspection schedule so this change in the rule makes it consistent with current Bureau of 

Air Quality licensing requirements
