OAR 340-151-0010: Scope and Applicability

(1) Except as provided in section (2), an owner and permittee of a petroleum UST system that meets the requirements of OAR 340-150-0006 and that is not exempted or deferred by 340-150-0008, must comply with this division. (2) State and federal government entities the debts and liabilities if which are the debts and liabilities of a state or the United States are exempt from the requirements of this division. (3) If the owner and permittee of a petroleum UST are separate persons, only one of them is required to demonstrate financial responsibility.

Regardless of which person complies, the date set for compliance at a particular UST facility is determined by the characteristics of the owner as set forth in 40 CFR § 280.91. (4) Each chamber or compartment of a multichamber or multicompartment UST is an individual tank for the purpose of OAR 340, divisions 150 and 151.
