The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality adopted changes to Chapter 334, Underground and Aboveground Storage Tanks. The amendments incorporate certain UST provisions of the federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 and update certain technical requirements pertaining to USTs. The changes, among other things, require proof of financial assurance to be included with annual tank self-certifications; cease annual facility fees; require secondary containment for UST systems in accordance with U.S. EPA and federal Energy Policy Act requirements; and extend the Petroleum Storage Tank Reimbursement Program for four years. http://www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/sos/adopted/30.ENVIRONMENTAL%20QUALITY.html#288.
