Clarifies procedures for maintenance of underground storage tanks.
This bill clarifies New Jersey's rules for maintaining underground storage tanks (USTs), directly affecting tank owners and operators. It requires the state environmental agency to establish testing schedules based on tank age, location, and risk factors, adopt safety standards matching federal EPA guidelines (with stricter rules in wellhead protection areas), and mandate reporting of leaks and cleanup efforts. Owners must designate a responsible person for compliance, maintain records, and prove financial responsibility for environmental cleanup. The state must incorporate these rules into the construction code within 60 days.
