(a) Certification or listing of UST system equipment or components by a nationally recognized, independent testing laboratory for use with the regulated substance stored; or

(b) Equipment or component manufacturer approval. The manufacturers approval must be in writing, indicate an affirmative statement of compatibility, specify the range of biofuel blends the equipment or component is compatible with, and be from the equipment or component manufacturer; or

(2) Use another option determined by the department to be no less protective of human health and the environment than the options listed in (1) of this section:.

(a) Owners and operators must maintain records in accordance with § 74:56:01:23 documenting compliance with (1) of this section for as long as the UST system is used to store the regulated substance.
