New Mexico Environment Department Petroleum Storage Tank Bureau Regulation Revision
The Petroleum Storage Tank Bureau is in the process of revising the Petroleum Storage Tank Regulations to adopt provisions of the new federal rules and to clarify the existing rules where needed. EPA’s updated underground storage tanks (UST) regulations are final and have been published in the Federal Register. You can access these regulations via EPA’s website at http://www2.epa.gov/ust/revising-underground-storage-tank-regulations-revisions-existing-requirements-and-new.
New Mexico has state program approval (SPA) and has three years to reapply in order to retain our SPA status. New Mexico must adopt the revised federal rules in order to maintain SPA status with petroleum storage tank regulations. This means that until New Mexico’s regulations are revised and receive EPA approval, owners and operators in New Mexico must continue to follow current state requirements.

Public stakeholder meetings were held in June 2017 and August 2016 on draft revised versions of parts of these regulations.
*NEW* The draft regulations were submitted to the Environmental Improvement Board (EIB) on October 6, 2017 with a request to petition the EIB at its next meeting on October 27, 2017 for a hearing date. The hearing on the draft regulations will not be held on October 27, but will be scheduled for a later date by the EIB at that time, if the EIB chooses to hold a hearing on the matter. The EIB meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. in room 307 of the State Capitol Building, 490 Old Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe, NM 87501. The draft agenda of the meeting will be posted at https://www.env.nm.gov/environmental-improvement-board/ approximately 10 days before the meeting.
The proposed revisions to the regulations have been posted below.
Given the extensive changes, the organization of the regulations is proposed to change. For example, under the proposed regulations, AST and UST requirements are in different parts when distinct and appropriate.
You may submit questions and comments on the proposed regulations to pst.regulations@state.nm.us for the bureau's consideration.
There will be an opportunity to present technical and non-technical testimony at the hearing. The public notice for the hearing will contain instructions on how to provide testimony. The public notice will be published in the Albuquerque Journal and the New Mexico Register, and will be posted on the EIB and PSTB websites.
Updates and additional details will be provided in future communications.
