Earlier this week the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WV DEP) launched a website for Senate Bill 373, the aboveground storage tank bill that was passed by the West Virginia Legislature in the 2014 Regular Session. The page contains an archive of information and resources related to the agency’s implementation of the bill and a link to the electronic forms to register aboveground tanks as required by the legislation. The webpage can be found at http://www.dep.wv.gov/WWE/abovegroundstoragetanks/Pages/default.aspx
The agency also published a guide to assist tank owners with the required registration process: https://apps.dep.wv.gov/ast/FinalASTUserGuide.docx
The registration process for tanks will begin in mid-June and all tanks (>1,320) must be completed by October 2014.
