Fuel distributors are prohibited by law from depositing fuel in an unpermitted tank. In order to receive a General Permit Registration Certificate to Operate, a person's tank must meet the 1998 technical standards for corrosion control and spill and overfill prevention. Tanks that do not meet these standards must be decommissioned by removal or closure in place. Notification to the DEQ is required. The following USTs are exempt from federal and state laws and regulations.
Fact sheets about specific compliance requirements are also available.
