Your questions answered about tank inspections in the Georgetown, DE area.
Under 40 CFR 112 (SPCC Rule), facilities in the Georgetown area that store 1,320 gallons or more of oil in aboveground storage tanks (each container ≥ 55 gal) and have a reasonable expectation of discharge into navigable waters—such as the Indian River, which rises approximately two miles southwest of Georgetown and drains through Sussex County to the navigable tidal estuary of Indian River Bay—must maintain an SPCC Plan. That plan must include documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and containment systems to demonstrate ongoing spill prevention and response readiness.
Delaware maintains one of the most comprehensive AST-specific regulatory programs in the country. Under the Jeffrey Davis Aboveground Storage Tank Act (7 Del.C. Ch. 74A), codified at 7 DE Admin. Code 1352 and administered by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), Division of Waste and Hazardous Substances, owners and operators of regulated ASTs must register with DNREC and pay annual per-tank registration fees by February 1 each year. The regulations require routine in-service inspections at intervals not to exceed 30–31 days, and formal external inspections on a cycle not to exceed five years. Those external inspections must be performed exclusively by Certified API 653 Inspectors, Certified STI SP001 Inspectors, or Certified API 570 Inspectors (for piping), per 7 DE Admin. Code 1352, Part C, Sections 6 and 7. Delaware's AST program operates entirely separately from its UST program, and federal SPCC requirements apply concurrently for qualifying facilities without displacing state obligations.
We help Georgetown-area businesses operating aboveground storage tanks navigate this layered compliance landscape throughout Sussex County and the surrounding region. Genesis Inspection Services provides certified API 653 and STI SP001 inspections, thorough documentation packages, and expert guidance to keep your facility in compliance with EPA SPCC regulations and Delaware state requirements under 7 DE Admin. Code 1352—so you can focus on running your operation with confidence.
