Overview of the storage tank regulations
The regulations came into force in 2008 to help reduce the risk of releases of petroleum products, such as leaks and spills. At the time, about 15% of systems under federal jurisdiction were more than 20 years old and had no leak detection, corrosion protection, or structures to contain releases.
This section will help you become more familiar with the requirements set out in the regulations and help determine when they apply and how to comply with them.
