Your questions answered about tank inspections in the Meridian, MS area.
Under 40 CFR 112 (SPCC Rule), facilities storing 1,320 gallons or more of oil in aboveground storage tanks (ASTs)—where each container holds ≥ 55 gallons—and with a reasonable potential to discharge into navigable waters must prepare and implement an SPCC Plan. In Meridian, that risk is real: Sowashee Creek flows directly through the city before draining into Okatibbee Creek, a tributary of the Chickasawhay River and ultimately the Pascagoula River system. The SPCC Plan must include documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and containment systems to demonstrate ongoing spill prevention efforts.
Mississippi does not maintain a state-level AST technical program. As MDEQ's own guidance makes clear, all aboveground tanks in Mississippi are regulated by the U.S. EPA, administered through EPA Region 4's Emergency Response Program, while MDEQ's tank regulations (11 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 5, Ch. 2 and Ch. 3) apply exclusively to underground storage tanks. In practice, AST owners in Mississippi rely on the federal SPCC Rule (40 CFR 112) alongside applicable fire codes referencing NFPA 30 and NFPA 30A. Inspections are commonly performed under STI SP001 (for shop-built tanks) or API 653 (for field-erected tanks), with inspection frequency governed by each facility's written SPCC Plan rather than any state-mandated schedule.
Genesis Inspection Services helps businesses in Meridian and throughout Lauderdale County meet their compliance obligations by delivering certified API 653 and STI SP001 tank inspections backed by thorough documentation—giving facility owners the records they need to demonstrate full compliance with EPA SPCC regulations and Mississippi state requirements.
