The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is currently updating the Underground Storage Tanks (UST) rule Minn. R. 7150.  

 

The rule is anticipated to go to public comment in the fall of 2017 with a goal of adopting the rule in the spring of 2018.

 

Many of the updates will reflect the changes in the EPA rule that was adopted in 2015.

 

The proposed revisions will consider the topics listed below:

  • adding secondary containment requirements for new and replaced tanks and piping;
  • adding operator training requirements for UST system owners and operators;
  • adding operation and maintenance requirements for UST systems;
  • removing certain exemptions;
  • adding new release prevention and detection technologies;
  • updating codes of practice; and
  • editorial and technical corrections.
