Your questions answered about tank inspections in the Fort Smith, AR area.
Under 40 CFR 112 (SPCC Rule), facilities storing 1,320 gallons or more of oil in aboveground storage tanks (each container ≥ 55 gal) that present a reasonable expectation of discharge into navigable waters—such as the Arkansas River, which borders Fort Smith and forms part of the federally maintained McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System—must maintain an SPCC Plan. That plan must include documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and containment systems to demonstrate ongoing spill-prevention readiness.
Arkansas regulates aboveground storage tanks primarily through the International Fire Code as adopted under the Arkansas Fire Prevention Code (015.01.22 Ark. Code R. 005, 2021 Ed.), enforced by the Arkansas State Fire Marshal's Office. The Fire Marshal issues installation permits for ASTs storing combustible, flammable, or hazardous liquids and holds oversight authority for operational standards. Arkansas does not maintain state-mandated AST inspector qualifications or a periodic inspection frequency for ASTs; inspection intervals for facilities meeting applicability thresholds are instead governed by the federal SPCC Rule. Separately, ADEQ's role under APC&EC Regulation No. 12 is limited to optional registration and Trust Fund eligibility for petroleum ASTs—not technical or integrity-inspection requirements. Integrity inspections are commonly performed under STI SP001 (shop-built tanks) or API 653 (field-erected tanks) in accordance with industry standards and SPCC Rule requirements.
Genesis Inspection Services helps Fort Smith-area businesses operating aboveground storage tanks meet their compliance obligations with certified API 653 and STI SP001 inspections and thorough documentation—serving facilities throughout Sebastian County and the surrounding region with the confidence needed to satisfy EPA SPCC regulations and Arkansas state requirements.
