The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has released draft guidance for Underground Storage Tanks. The proposal would help ensure that biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, are safely stored underground.
EPA is requesting comments on the proposed guidance that clarifies how an UST owner or operator can comply with the federal compatibility requirement for UST systems storing gasoline containing greater than 10% ethanol, and diesel containing a percent of biodiesel yet to be determined. After reviewing comments, EPA intends to issue the final guidance in early 2011.
