Your questions answered about tank inspections in the Brunswick, ME area.
Under 40 CFR 112 (SPCC Rule), facilities storing 1,320 gallons or more of oil in ASTs (each container ≥ 55 gal) and with a reasonable expectation of discharge into navigable waters—such as the Androscoggin River, which bisects Brunswick and flows into Merrymeeting Bay—must maintain an SPCC Plan. This includes documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and containment systems to demonstrate ongoing operational integrity and spill prevention.
Maine's AST framework, established under 38 MRSA § 570-K(5) and §§ 1391–1399 and administered by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Remediation and Waste Management, gives ME DEP authority to oversee SPCC compliance for marketing and distribution ASTs exceeding 1,320 gallons and to regulate siting of oil storage facilities near wellhead protection areas (CMR 06-096 Ch. 692). Motor-fuel ASTs connected to underground piping must be registered with ME DEP under 38 MRSA § 563(10), and that underground piping must be inspected annually by a Maine Certified Underground Oil Storage Tank Installer or Inspector licensed under 32 MRSA Subchapter 104-A, with results submitted to ME DEP by July 1 each year. The aboveground tank shell itself carries no separate state-mandated inspection frequency; periodic inspection intervals for the tank body are set by the facility's federally required SPCC Plan under 40 CFR Part 112. Installation of any AST separately requires a permit from the Maine State Fire Marshal's Office under NFPA 30. Inspections of the tank shell are commonly conducted under STI SP001 (shop-built tanks) or API 653 (field-erected tanks).
Genesis Inspection Services helps Brunswick-area businesses operating aboveground storage tanks throughout Cumberland County by providing certified API 653 and STI SP001 inspections, thorough documentation of tank condition, and the records facilities need to demonstrate compliance with EPA SPCC regulations and Maine state requirements under ME DEP and the State Fire Marshal's Office.
