Relating generally to aboveground storage tanks

Summary

The bill updates West Virginia’s above‑ground storage tank (AST) regulations by changing the definition of an AST, establishing two regulated tiers, and setting a nine‑month notice window before tanks in newly designated critical or peripheral zones become regulated. It also permits the use of remote, non‑destructive examination technologies for periodic inspections to reduce confined‑space entry. The changes affect tank owners, operators, and the state environmental department.
