ATCP 93.250Tank construction and marking.
(1)Multi-compartment tanks. Each compartment of a multi-compartment tank shall be considered a separate tank, even if the same substance is stored in 2 or more of the compartments.
(2)Construction. Tanks containing flammable or combustible liquids shall be constructed and listed or labeled to one of the recognized design standards in NFPA 30 section 21.4.2, or to another standard or design approved by the department, except this requirement does not apply to any of the following tanks:
(a) Tanks that contain liquids which are also hazardous substances.
Note: Section ATCP 93.350 requires hazardous substance tanks to be designed and constructed under the supervision of a qualified engineer.
(b) Tank wagons, farm tanks and tank vehicles used in accordance with the requirements in ss. ATCP 93.610 and 93.630, for fuel dispensing from aboveground tanks and at farms and construction projects.
Note: Design standards recognized by NFPA 30 section 21.4.2 include API 12B, API 12D, API 12F, API 650, UL 58, UL 80, UL 142, UL 1316, UL 1746, UL 2080 and UL 2085. Another standard approved by the department is SU 2258 from Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
Note: Tank wagons have construction requirements in s. ATCP 93.610 (1). Farm tanks are required to meet the construction specifications in NFPA 30A section 13.2.3. Tank vehicles are required to meet the construction specifications in NFPA 385 chapters 2 and 3. Movable tanks covered under the dispensing requirements in s. ATCP 93.610 (2) are not exempted from this requirement.
(c) Tanks which are custom built for a specific purpose and which are supported by a statement acceptable to the department, from a qualified engineer, as defined in s. ATCP 93.350 (2) (d), except the competency of the engineer shall relate to the purpose for the custom-built tank.
(d) Aboveground used-oil tanks at a scrap recycling or auto recycling facility that are exempted from these requirements under s. ATCP 93.300 (9).
(3)Marking. Newly manufactured or constructed tanks shall have at least all of the following information permanently marked on the exterior of the tank by the manufacturer or the party responsible for tank construction:
(a) The name of the manufacturer or the party responsible for tank construction.
(b) The year of manufacture or construction.
(c) The standard under which the tank is manufactured or constructed.
(d) The minimum rate of any required emergency venting.
Note: The applicable construction standard may already require this information or additional information to be marked on the tank. This marking requirement especially applies to farm tanks which have a capacity of less than 1,100 gallons and which are not required to be manufactured to any specific construction standard other than the minimal requirements in NFPA 30A section 13.2.3.

ATCP 93.260Setbacks from already-installed potable water supply sources.
(a) Tank systems and their dispensing systems shall comply with the setback requirements in Table 93.260, except as specified in pars. (b) and (c).
(b) These setbacks do not apply where piping or dispensers are being replaced without replacing the tank.
(c) These setbacks do not apply where shorter setbacks are specified by the department of natural resources.
Note: The department of natural resources administers separating distances for proposed public community water supply wells regulated under ch. NR 811, and those distances may differ from the distances in Table 93.260. See footnote 4 under Table 93.260 for DNR requirements about separating distances for proposed and already-installed private water supply wells regulated under ch. NR 812.
Note: Longer setback distances may be imposed through local wellhead-protection requirements.
Table 93.260
1 Any reference in this column to a UST or AST “system” means both the tank and any product piping connected to it have the subsequently specified features.
2 The setback in this column is at least 1200 feet if any associated fueling area is not on a concrete surface, and any associated AST is not on a concrete surface, except this requirement does not apply to the setback for a one- or two-family residential heating oil AST.
3 The setback in this column is at least 100 feet if any associated fueling area is not on a concrete surface, and any associated AST is not on a concrete surface, except this requirement does not apply to the setback for a one- or two-family residential heating oil AST.
4 Any setback in this column that is less than 100 feet, other than the 25-foot setback for one- and two-family residences, may be utilized only after obtaining a variance or other approval from the department of natural resources, except a variance or other approval is not required for an AST that has a capacity of 1500 gallons or less.
5 This distance may be reduced by 50 percent if all of the following features are provided and maintained in addition to the features in the tank-type column: tank system construction of corrosion-resistant material, such as fiber-reinforced plastic, or steel with a fiber-reinforced plastic wrap or jacket; non-discriminating sump sensors; testable secondary containment spill bucket; continuous electronic pressure, vacuum, or liquid-filled interstitial monitoring with automatic system shut-down; audible and visual high-level alarm at 90 percent full, and automatic shut-off at 95 percent; all fueling area protected by canopy; and downspouts for drainage of rainwater do not discharge into a fueling area.
6 This distance may be reduced by 50 percent if all of the following features are provided and maintained in addition to the features in the tank-type column: either continuous non-discriminating electronic interstitial monitoring for double wall, or continuous non-discriminating electronic sensor for other secondary containment; audible and visual high-level alarm at 90 percent full, and either automatic shutoff at 95 percent or no latch-open device is used with any manual-shutoff nozzle; all dispensing by suction pump fuel transfer; all motor vehicle fueling limited to private or fleet use; all fueling area protected by canopy; and downspouts for drainage of rainwater do not discharge into a fueling area.
7 This reduced setback is only permitted for emergency or standby power systems that are operated by the same facility which operates the well, and only if all of the following features are provided and maintained in addition to the features in the tank-type column: audible and visual high-level alarm at 90 percent full, and either automatic shutoff at 95 percent or no latch-open device is used with any manual-shutoff nozzle. This setback may be reduced further where approved in writing by the department, upon submittal of an explanation of why reducing the setback is needed, along with demonstration that additional features will be included which will provide adequate protection for the well.
Note: Aboveground storage tanks include tanks that are inside a building and have a liquid capacity of 110 gallons or more, are intended for fixed installation, and are not solely used for processing.
(2)Tank systems and their dispensing systems shall be at least 50 feet from ground-level potable water reservoirs regulated under ch. NR 811, except as specified in sub. (1) (b) and (c).
(3)Tank systems and their dispensing systems shall be at least 25 feet from potable water mains regulated under ch. NR 811, except as specified in sub. (1) (b) and (c).
