New Mexico: Proposed revisions to leak detection regs. STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS

06/02/2017

Petroleum Storage Tank Bureau

The Petroleum Storage Tank Bureau has posted draft proposed revisions to 20.5.6 NMAC and 20.5.7 NMAC on this web page: https://www.env.nm.gov/ust/draftregs.html. 20.5.6 NMAC currently covers release detection for all regulated storage tank systems. The proposed revised 20.5.6 NMAC covers release detection only for regulated underground storage tank systems. The release detection requirements for above ground storage tanks would be moved to a new part of 20.5 NMAC. The proposed revised 20.5.7 NMAC covers reporting and investigation of suspected and confirmed releases for all regulated storage tank systems, as does the current 20.5.7 NMAC.

PSTB is in the process of revising the Petroleum Storage Tank Regulations to adopt provisions of the new federal rules (effective October 15, 2015) and to clarify the existing rules where needed. Three public stakeholder meetings are scheduled in June to present and discuss draft revisions as follows:
