Comment:
During my initial review of the document, I noticed there was no reference to the above-ground petroleum storage tank act (APSA). APSA requires owners/operators of above ground petroleum storage tanks with a commutative capacity of 1,320 gallons or greater, to develop and implement an SPCC plan. The Health and Safety Code (HSC) Section 25270.2(g) defines "Petroleum" as crude oil, or a fraction thereof, that is liquid at 60 degrees Fahrenheit temperature and 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute pressure. This definition would include any bio fuel or ethanol blend of gasoline or diesel unless 100% bio or ethanol. There are no additional APSA or SPCC requirements for storing bio fuels. I just wanted to clarify that bio fuels are still considered a petroleum product and subject to APSA.
