Your questions answered about tank inspections in the Frankfort, KY 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 have a reasonable expectation of discharge into navigable waters—such as the Kentucky River, which flows directly through Frankfort—must maintain a written SPCC Plan. That plan must include documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and secondary containment systems, conducted at intervals defined by the facility's own written procedures.
Kentucky regulates aboveground storage tanks primarily through the Kentucky State Fire Marshal under 815 KAR 10:060 (Kentucky Standards of Safety) and 815 KAR 7:120 (Kentucky Fire Prevention Code). The Kentucky State Fire Marshal, Hazardous Materials Section, requires installation permits before any AST storing flammable, combustible, or hazardous materials is installed or modified; no separate AST registration exists with the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection, whose tank regulations under 401 KAR Chapter 42 apply exclusively to underground storage tanks. Kentucky has no state-mandated periodic inspection frequency for ASTs under environmental regulation; inspection intervals for qualifying petroleum facilities are governed by each facility's SPCC Plan. In practice, third-party inspections are commonly performed under STI SP001 (shop-built tanks) or API 653 (field-erected tanks).
Genesis Inspection Services helps Frankfort-area businesses throughout Franklin County maintain safe, compliant aboveground storage tank operations—providing certified API 653 and STI SP001 inspections along with the thorough documentation needed to demonstrate compliance with EPA SPCC regulations and Kentucky state requirements.
