The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection proposed amendments to regulations governing USTs. The amendments would amend definitions, clarify statutory requirements for tank construction, require owners and operators to conduct annual inspections, require certain UST system components to be upgraded within specific time frames, extend tank life expectancy from 30 to 45 years, and add a new civil penalties schedule. A hearing will be held July 30, 2024. Comments are due August 12, 2024. See https://eregulations.ct.gov/eRegsPortal/Search/getDocument?guid={E03D5F90-0000-C51D-92A9-D89530795E9E}.
