Your questions answered about tank inspections in the Decatur, IL area.
Under 40 CFR 112 (SPCC Rule), facilities storing 1,320 gallons or more of oil in ASTs (each container ≥ 55 gal) that present a reasonable expectation of discharge into navigable waters—such as the Sangamon River and Lake Decatur, which flow through and adjoin the city—must maintain an SPCC Plan. This plan must include documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and containment systems to demonstrate ongoing compliance with federal requirements.
Illinois maintains a dedicated aboveground storage tank program administered by the Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal, Division of Fire Prevention and Building Safety, under 41 Ill. Adm. Code 160 (non-dispensing bulk storage) and 41 Ill. Adm. Code 180 (fuel dispensing). ASTs containing flammable or combustible liquids are expressly excluded from the Illinois EPA Leaking UST Program; OSFM is the governing authority. Owners must submit an installation application and receive OSFM approval—including an on-site field inspection—before placing a new or relocated AST into service. There is no state-mandated periodic inspection frequency for in-service ASTs; once a tank is commissioned, ongoing inspection intervals for qualifying facilities are governed by the federal SPCC Rule. Inspections are commonly performed under STI SP001 (for shop-built tanks) or API 653 (for field-erected tanks).
Genesis Inspection Services helps businesses in Decatur and throughout Macon County maintain safe, compliant aboveground storage tank operations through certified API 653 and STI SP001 inspections and thorough documentation packages—providing the records your facility needs to demonstrate compliance with EPA SPCC regulations and Illinois state requirements under OSFM's AST program.
