Storage Tank Program Regulatory Amendments Take Effect Saturday Amendments to the Storage Tank Program Regulations will take effect December 26. These amendments represent final actions to satisfy Underground Storage Tank Compliance Act provisions in the Federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 and related U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Guidelines to States for implementing the Underground Storage Tank Program. (formal notice) This final rulemaking adds underground storage tank operator training requirements to the existing regulations. The rulemaking establishes three distinct classes of storage tank operators, who must be designated by tank owners and trained by August 8, 2012. Required and acceptable forms of training are addressed for each class of operator. There are also related recordkeeping requirements, but no new reporting requirements. Existing regulations provide for DEP approval of training providers and courses. For questions concerning the regulatory amendments, contact DEP’s Storage Tank Program at 1-800-42TANKS (PA Only) or 717-772-5599, or send email to: eptanks@state.pa.us. The Department of Environmental Protection published notice of final changes to the groundwater and long-term water treatment rule under the Drinking Water Program and published notice of a proposed revision to the State Air Quality Implementation particulate matter infrastructure requirements and a public hearing.
