The Department of Environmental Protection published notice of final technical guidance on Closure Requirements for Aboveground Storage Tank Systems.

DEP ID: 263-4200-001. Title: Closure Requirements for Aboveground Storage Tank Systems. Description: The purpose of this guidance is to establish minimum standards that must be met to comply with the closure requirements for regulated large aboveground storage tanks. These procedures include closure notification, tank handling, waste management and disposal, site assessment, sampling requirements, analytical requirements, release reporting and recordkeeping.

This Technical Guidance Document is being revised to correct the Short List of Petroleum Products presented in Appendix F, found on pages 49 and 50. The correction adds Methyl tert-Butyl ether to the parameters to be tested in soil and water when kerosene or fuel oil No. 1 is the product stored. This correction does not reflect new requirements. Rather, these analytical requirements have been utilized to guide closure site assessments since March 15, 2008. On March 15, 2008, notice of the analytical requirements was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin as a revision to the Department's Land Recycling Program Technical Guidance Manual.

Contact: Questions regarding this action should be directed to Chad Clancy at 717-772-5830 or cclancy@pa.gov.
