Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 10 - DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES › Division 26 - Petroleum and Hazardous Substance Storage Tanks › Chapter 2 - Underground Storage Tanks-Technical Regulations › Section 10 CSR 26-2.033 - Repairs Allowed

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: There are two (2) primary purposes for this
				  rulemaking. The first is to open UST rules in Title 10, Division 26 of the Code
				  of State Regulations to make the necessary changes required by the U.S.
				  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The 2005 Energy Policy Act required
				  either financial responsibility for UST installers and manufacturers or
				  secondary containment for all new systems. In addition, last October, EPA
				  adopted changes to the federal UST regulations that need to be incorporated
				  into state regulation. This rule-making will make the necessary changes to
				  comply with these EPA grant requirements and to incorporate the changes made to
				  the federal regulations.
The second reason is to incorporate state-specific
				  changes. The proposed changes would better ensure that tanks are still
				  functional enough to remain in use. The changes would better prevent and detect
				  leaks, help provide better repairs, and incorporate new technologies. The
				  department will also take this opportunity to clarify ambiguous or confusing
				  language and update industry standard referenced in the
				  regulations.
(1) Owners and
				operators of underground storage tank (UST) systems must ensure that repairs
				will prevent releases due to structural failure or corrosion as long as the UST
				system is used to store regulated substances.
(2) The repairs must meet the following
				requirements:
(A) Repairs to UST systems must
				be properly conducted in accordance with a code of practice developed by a
				nationally-recognized association or an independent testing laboratory.
