EPA has proposed new requirements for underground storage tanks that will increase compliance requirements and extend them to all new and replaced tanks.  If promulgated, the proposed rule would require the installation of secondary containment systems for all new and replaced tanks.  It would also implement corrosion protection requirements intended to ensure that tanks are compatible with new biofuels, including E15 ethanol.
