Is an installation permit required by the Department of Environmental Health for above ground tanks?
An installation permit is not required from the Department of Environmental Health for above ground storage tanks storing hazardous materials. However, if you store 1,320 gallons or more of petroleum in above ground tanks, you must comply with the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act including implementing a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure plan. Additionally, you should contact your local Fire Department for installation requirements. For above ground tanks storing hazardous waste, a California registered Professional Engineer must certify the tank system before using the tank. For additional requirements regarding hazardous waste storage tanks, contact the Hazardous Materials Duty Specialist at (619) 338-2231.
