Under 40 CFR 112 (SPCC Rule), facilities storing 1,320 gallons or more of oil in aboveground storage tanks (each container ≥ 55 gal) and with a reasonable potential to discharge into navigable waters—such as the Minnesota River, which flows directly through Mankato—must maintain an SPCC Plan. This includes documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and containment systems to demonstrate ongoing spill prevention and response readiness.
Minnesota operates one of the more comprehensive state-level AST programs in the country under Minn. R. Chapter 7151 and Minn. Stat. §§ 116.46–116.491, administered by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Owners of commercial ASTs storing 500 gallons or more of petroleum or hazardous substances must notify the MPCA within 30 days of installation. All regulated tanks and containment areas are subject to monthly visual inspections, with leak detection checks required every 72 hours or weekly depending on containment type. Field-erected steel tanks must be inspected by an API 653 Certified Inspector, with inspection intervals determined by tank design, contents, and age per API 653; the MPCA requires submission of its API 653 Inspection Summary form following each inspection. Facilities with total AST capacity under one million gallons are covered by the Chapter 7151 rules, while those at or above one million gallons require an individual MPCA major facility permit specifying site-specific inspection, containment, and monitoring requirements.
Genesis Inspection Services helps businesses in Mankato and throughout Blue Earth County maintain compliance through certified API 653 and STI SP001 tank inspections and thorough documentation packages designed to meet both EPA SPCC regulations and Minnesota state requirements under the MPCA's AST program.
