Compliance

The Storage Tank Program (STP) Compliance team performs on-site storage tank inspections to ensure STP-regulated tanks are installed and operated in accordance with rules and regulations.  Violations are discussed with owners and operators, and the STP attempts to bring the facility into compliance without the need for formal enforcement action. 

When necessary, violations are referred to the Attorney General’s Office.

The STP Compliance team conducts outreach training for owners, operators, installers, and testers.  The STP provides information to tank owners to assist them in understanding the requirements and regulations related to STP-regulated storage tanks.
