HB 206 Aboveground liquid fertilizer storage tanks; requires localities to adopt ordinance that regulates.

Introduced by: Kenneth C. Alexander | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Aboveground liquid fertilizer storage tanks.  Requires localities in which an aboveground liquid fertilizer storage tank (ALFST) with a capacity of 100,000 gallons or more is located to adopt an ordinance that regulates the installation, operation, retrofitting, maintenance, repair, abandonment, and removal of such tanks. The locality is authorized to establish a fee schedule for registration of these tanks. The ordinance would require the owner or operator of the tank to develop a discharge contingency plan that ensures a discharge from any regulated tank will be properly contained, mitigated, and cleaned up. While the bill provides a framework for the ordinance, it allows the locality to enact an ordinance that is more restrictive or more extensive in scope than is required by the Code.
