STORAGE TANKS AND FACILITIES EXEMPT FROM THE STATE SPCC REQUIREMENT
The Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA), Health and Safety Code (H&SC), Section 25270.2(k), defines
"storage tank" as any aboveground tank or container used for the storage of petroleum. "Storage tank" does not
include any of the following:
~1. 1) A vessel boiler which is subject to Part 6 of Division 5 of the Labor Code.
(
pressure
or
[] A tank hazardous defined in subdivision of Section
(2)
storage
containing

breakers, or capacitors, if the oil-filled electrical equipment meets either of the following
conditions:
(A) The equipment contains less than 10,000 gallons of dielectric fluid, or
(B) The equipment contains 10,000 gallons or more of dielectric fluid with PCB
levels less than 50 ppm. The appropriate containment or diversionary structures or equipment
are employed to prevent discharged oil from reaching a navigable water course, and the
electrical equipment is visually inspected in accordance with the usual routine maintenance
procedures of the owner or operator.
If you checked any one of the four boxes above, then the facility is not subject to
the state APSA registration, fee or SPCC plan requirements.
Additionally, H&SC Sect/on 25270.5(d) specifically does not require an SPCC plan for the following facilities:
Farms, nurseries, and logging or construction sites, which do not have a single tank
exceeding 20,000 gallons and which have a cumulative storage capacity no greater than
100,000 gallons.
However, these facilities are still required to pay a fee and register their tank(s)
with the State Water Resources Control Board.
