The Aboveground Petroleum Storage Tank Facility Statement task is part of the Aboveground Petroleum Storage and CERS compliance programs on Complyrs.

          

Overview

This Complyrpedia article covers the facility statement requirements to comply with Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act.

Facilities that are subject to the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA) must submit to CERS, an inventory of all containers subject to APSA. Following are instructions from the CERS website.

• To meet the requirement by submitting a business plan, you must submit the Facility Information, Hazardous Materials Inventory, Site Map and Emergency Response and Training Plans submittal elements through CERS. To indicate that you are using your business plan to meet the APSA reporting requirement, select the Provided Elsewhere in CERS document option below, select Hazardous Materials Inventory, then click the Save button.
• Facilities subject to APSA shall keep a copy of their SPCC plan onsite in the facility is normally attended at least four hours per day, or at the nearest field office if the facility is not so attended.

Additional Tips

We advise that you review and update your APSA facility statement annually. If you know when the local Unified Program Agency (UPA) is going to inspect, a month before that time would be a good time to schedule that review.
