Changes to Farm Spill Prevention Rules: Higher Thresholds, Fewer Requirements
This act modifies regulations for spill prevention on farms by increasing the capacity limits for tanks that require specific plans. This means smaller farms may be exempt from certain obligations, potentially reducing their administrative burden and costs.
Key points
Increased aboveground storage capacity limits for spill prevention plans from 20,000 to 42,000 gallons for certain tanks.
Raised thresholds for smaller tanks subject to simplified rules from 1,000 to 1,320 gallons and from 2,500 to 3,000 gallons.
Eliminated certain spill prevention plan requirements for the smallest farms.
