Sec. 57.6.
Underground storage tanks; early action.
(a) Owners and operators of underground storage tanks shall, in response to
all confirmed releases, comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory
reporting and response requirements.
(b) Notwithstanding any other corrective action taken, an owner or operator
may, at a minimum, and prior to submission of any plans to the Agency, remove
the tank system or abandon the underground storage tank in
place, in
accordance with the regulations promulgated by the Office of the State Fire
Marshal. The owner or operator may also remove visibly contaminated fill
material and any groundwater in the excavation which exhibits a sheen.
For purposes of payment for early action costs, however, fill material shall
not be removed in an amount in excess of 4 feet
from the outside dimensions of the tank.
