SWRCB Aboveground Storage Tank Info

The Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act was amended in 2007 by Assembly Bill 1130 (Laird). This bill made specific changes to the existing Act, including passing the responsibility for administering the Act to the CUPA.

All tank facilities with a storage capacity of 1,320 gallons or more of "petroleum" in aboveground tanks are subject to the Act. Businesses that are subject to this law are required to file a storage statement with the CUPA and, with certain exceptions, prepare and implement a federal Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. The object of the SPCC plan is to prevent discharges of petroleum from causing water pollution.
