"DELIVERY PROHIBITION

Deliveries of any regulated substance to this tank have been prohibited by the State of Wyoming, Storage Tank Program. Delivery of any regulated substance to this tank while the delivery prohibition exists is a violation of Chapter 1, Storage Tank Program, Solid and Hazardous Waste Division Rules and Regulations, Storage Tanks, Part K."

(f) One-Time Fuel Delivery Allowance. The department may issue a one-time fuel delivery allowance to a tank prohibited from receiving a delivery so the owner and/or operator can perform tank and line tightness testing. This delivery shall be for the minimum amount of fuel needed to perform the required test.
