ATCP 93.010 NoteNote: Section 168.23 (1), Stats., reads in part: ATCP 93.010 NoteThe 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.
ATCP 93.010 NoteNote: The definition of federally regulated hazardous substances in s. 168.21 (3), Stats., corresponds to the CERCLA List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities contained in 40 CFR 302.4, Table 302.4. ATCP 93.010 NoteNote: The definition of “waters of the state,” as used in s. 168.21, Stats., is found in s. 281.01 (18), Stats., and reads as follows: ATCP 93.010 Note“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.
ATCP 93.010(3)(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. ATCP 93.010(4)(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 93.010 HistoryHistory: CR 17-092: cr. Register October 2019 No. 766, eff. 11-1-19. ATCP 93.020(1)(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. ATCP 93.020(2)(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. ATCP 93.020(3)(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. ATCP 93.020(4)(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. ATCP 93.020(5)(a)(a) Under ss. 101.14 (1) (a) and 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. ATCP 93.020 NoteNote: 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.
ATCP 93.020 NoteNote: Existing facilities are affected in this manner by these provisions because under s. 168.23 (1), Stats., 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 s. 101.14 (1) (a), Stats., addresses dangerous conditions at both new and existing facilities.
