These regulations are promulgated to establish rules for the design, installation, registration, construction, and operation of storage tanks used to store regulated substances (including petroleum), responses to releases of regulated substances from these tanks, and to describe the financial responsibility of storage tank owner/operators. The main purpose of these regulations is to reduce damage to the environment and risk to the public caused by leaking petroleum storage tanks and to mitigate such damage effectively when it occurs.
These regulations do not apply to material classified as hazardous wastes under Subtitle C of the U.S. Solid Waste Disposal Act.
The amendment to Article 9 of these regulations is developed pursuant to the Colorado Revised Statutes 8-20.5-103(9) that created the Petroleum Cleanup and Redevelopment Fund. The rules are designed to establish the implementation and operational guidelines of this fund.
