The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is moving forward with revisions to its UST regulations.  Some of the proposed changes to UST rules include:

• adding secondary containment requirements for new and replaced tanks and piping;
• adding operator training requirements for UST system owners and operators;
• adding periodic operation and maintenance requirements for UST systems;
• removing past deferrals for emergency generator tanks, airport hydrant systems, and field constructed tanks;
• adding new release prevention and detection technologies; and
• updating codes of practice.

The request for comments is scheduled to be published on Monday, November 9, 2015.  For more information, visit the MPCA website.
