AI Summary

  • Amends the definition of "tank" to include containers used to store petroleum, ethanol, or biodiesel, whether aboveground or underground.

  • Adds two new categories of tanks eligible for reimbursement: aboveground diesel fuel generator tanks and tanks storing ethanol or biodiesel for wholesale purposes with capacity over 20,000 gallons.

  • Modifies corrective action reimbursement eligibility criteria to require "substantial compliance" rather than full compliance with applicable federal, state, and fire marshal rules at time of release discovery.

  • Establishes that the Department of Environmental Quality determines substantial compliance by considering the chapter's purposes, how rule violations affected the tank, and the extent of remedial action required.

  • Passed with unanimous Senate approval (47-0) and nearly unanimous House approval (87-0).
