The purpose of this chapter is as follows:
(1) In accordance with ss. 101.02 (15) (a) and 101.14 (1) (a), Stats., to provide fire and life safety through the safe storage, display, installation, operation, use, maintenance and transportation of flammable, combustible and hazardous liquids and the equipment, facilities, buildings and premises that are used to store, transfer and dispense them. The department has such supervision of every employment, place of employment and public building in this state as is necessary adequately to enforce and administer all laws and all lawful orders requiring such employment, place of employment or public building to be safe, and requiring the protection of the life, health, safety and welfare of every employee in such employment or place of employment and every frequenter of such place of employment, and the safety of the public or tenants in any such public building.
The department may make reasonable orders for the repair or removal of any building or other structure which for want of repair or by reason of age or dilapidated condition or for any other cause is especially liable to fire, and which is so situated as to endanger other buildings or property and for the repair or removal of any combustible or explosive material or inflammable conditions, dangerous to the safety of any building or premises or the occupants thereof or endangering or hindering fire fighters in case of fire.
Note: Section 168.23 (1) of the Statutes reads in part: The department shall promulgate by rule construction, maintenance and abandonment standards applicable to tanks for the storage, handling or use of liquids that are flammable or combustible or are federally regulated hazardous substances, and to the property and facilities where the tanks are located, for the purpose of protecting the waters of the state from harm due to contamination by liquids that are flammable or combustible or are federally regulated hazardous substances.
Note: The definition of federally regulated hazardous substances in section 168.21 (3) of the Statutes corresponds to the CERCLA List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities contained in 40 CFR 302.4, Table 302.4. Note: The definition of “waters of the state,” as used in section 168.21 of the Statutes, is found in section 281.01 (18) of the Statutes, and reads as follows: “Waters of the state” includes those portions of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior within the boundaries of this state, and all lakes, bays, rivers, streams, springs, ponds, wells, impounding reservoirs, marshes, watercourses, drainage systems and other surface water or groundwater, natural or artificial, public or private, within this state or its jurisdiction.
(3) To comply with the flammable and combustible liquid related provisions of subtitle I of the federal Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, Public Law 98−616, which extended and strengthened the provisions of the Solid Waste Disposal Act as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, also known as RCRA, of 1976 as contained in 42 USC 6912 and 6991. (4) In accordance with s. 168.16, Stats., to establish standards for storing and dispensing motor fuel in a manner that does not compromise any minimum product grade specifications achieved under ch. ATCP 94. ATCP 93.020 Scope and application. (1) NEW FACILITIES AND STRUCTURES. The provisions of this chapter apply to all new facilities and structures and to new additions to facilities and structures that involve storage, transfer or dispensing of flammable, combustible or hazardous liquids.
(2) ALTERATIONS TO FACILITIES AND STRUCTURES. The provisions of this chapter apply to new remodeling and alterations — for any flammable, combustible or hazardous liquid facility or structure — that are integral to storage, transfer or dispensing of flammable, combustible or hazardous liquids, including remodeling and alterations which affect fire hazard, release mitigation or replacement of major equipment.
(3) EXISTING FACILITIES AND STRUCTURES. All elements, systems or components of an existing facility or structure that are integral to storage, transfer or dispensing of flammable, combustible or hazardous liquids shall be maintained to conform with the requirements of this chapter that applied when the facility, structure, element, system or component was constructed, unless specifically stated otherwise in this chapter.
(4) CHANGE IN OPERATION. If the operation of an existing facility or structure is changed to an operation regulated by this chapter, the facility or structure shall be made to comply with the requirements for the new operation as provided in this chapter.
(5) GROUNDWATER PROTECTION AND FIRE SAFETY PROVISIONS. (a) Under ss. 101.14 (1) (a), 168.21 to 168.26, Stats., the groundwater protection and fire safety provisions of this chapter apply to all new and existing flammable, combustible or hazardous liquid facilities and structures even if the facility or structure is not undergoing remodeling, alteration or a change of operation. Note: Examples of groundwater protection provisions include requirements for leak detection, secondary containment, corrosion protection, and spill and overfill protection. Some of these provisions, such as the spill and overfill protection requirements, are also fire safety provisions.
Note: Existing facilities are affected in this manner by these provisions because under section 168.23 (1) of the Statutes, this chapter “may include different standards for new and existing tanks, but all standards shall provide substantially similar protection for the waters of the state;” and because section 101.14 (1) (a) of the Statutes addresses dangerous conditions at both new and existing facilities. For a reprint of section 101.14 (1) (a) of the Statutes, see the second Note under section ATCP 93.010 (1). (b) The rules of this chapter apply to tanks located at US EPA superfund sites.
(6) EXCLUSIONS. The following tanks, containers, tank systems and facilities are not regulated under this chapter:
(a) Underground storage tanks that have a capacity of less than 60 gallons.
(b) Aboveground storage tanks and intermediate bulk containers that have a capacity of less than 110 gallons.
(c) Tanks storing products regulated under ch. ATCP 33 that are located either at facilities which are also regulated under ch. ATCP 33 or on farm premises. Note: Chapter ATCP 33 addresses bulk storage of pesticides and fertilizers. (d) Aboveground storage tanks storing liquids that are used in processes covered in any of the following standards:
1. NFPA 33 Spray Application Using Flammable or Combustible Materials.
2. NFPA 34 Dipping & Coating Processes Using Flammable or Combustible Liquids.
3. NFPA 35 Manufacture of Organic Coatings.
