What is required for spill and overfill devices?
• All USTs must have a spill prevention device, such as a catchment basin, which should be routinely inspected and cleaned out. • All USTs must have an overfill prevention device, either using a high-level alarm, a ball float valve or an automatic shut-off device in the drop tube. • The owner or operator must ensure that a tank is measured prior to each delivery and ensure there is enough room in the tank to receive the fuel and that the entire transfer is monitored. UST owner and operators are encouraged to use DEC’s new fuel delivery log, available soon.
