Petroleum Storage Tank Procedures
As the end of the school year approaches, now may be a good time to review your Transportation Facility compliance status and become familiar with recent regulatory changes, including underground storage tank rules.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) is the governing agency, and they handle registration, construction, maintenance, abandonment, etc. Licensure and/or registration is required for any individual involved in installation, repair, corrosion control, fuel-handling, and removal of the actual tanks and any piping or other system equipment. A petroleum product is defined as a petroleum substance capable of being used as a motor fuel. These rules may apply to tanks that are no longer being used for fuel storage.
