The Environmental Protection Commission Storage Tank
Compliance Program EPC/STC has developed a Storage tank Installation
Plan Review and Inspection process based on EPC’s and State
regulations.
On September 17, 1998, the Environmental Protection
Commission (EPC) Board granted approval to EPC Storage Tank Department
 to charge a $150.00 fee for installation/upgrade plan reviews. This was
effective on October 1, 1998. This fee will be due at the time plans are
submitted to the department for review. Payment can be cash, check, or
money order. All non-cash payments must be made payable to Environmental
Protection Commission of Hillsborough County.
Plans must be submitted
with a completed "Application for the Installation or Upgrade of
Pollutant Storage Tank Systems", and a "Storage Tank
Registration Form" completed and signed by the facility owner or
operator. These forms can be obtained from EPC’s Waste Management
office.

EMERGENCY GENERATOR INSTALLATIONS
With hurricane season
officially upon us, you may be considering the need for emergency power.
Many facilities depend upon emergency generators to maintain normal
operations should a power failure occur. Emergency generator owners and
operators must be aware that many of these systems are equipped with a
regulated storage tank.
Aboveground storage tanks greater than 550 gallons are regulated under
Chp. 62-762 F.A.C.
and underground storage tanks greater than 110 gallons are regulated under
Chp. 62-761 F.A.C.
For more information on the
installation of a regulated emergency generator tank, please contact (813)
627-2600 to speak with a representative of the Storage Tank Compliance
staff.
