Your questions answered about tank inspections in the Medford, OR area.
Under 40 CFR 112 (SPCC Rule), facilities in Medford storing 1,320 gallons or more of oil in aboveground storage tanks (each container ≥ 55 gal) that present a reasonable expectation of discharge into navigable waters—such as the Rogue River and its tributary Bear Creek, which flows directly through the city—must maintain an SPCC Plan. That plan must include documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and secondary containment systems to demonstrate ongoing operational integrity.
Oregon regulates aboveground storage tanks primarily through the 2022 Oregon Fire Code, administered by the Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal under OAR 837-030. The State Fire Marshal holds primary responsibility for ASTs in Oregon; the Oregon DEQ has explicitly stated it has not adopted rules for AST installation or removal. For flammable and combustible liquid ASTs with a capacity of 1,000 gallons or more, the State Fire Marshal requires plan review and issues installation approval permits, and a final inspection must be completed prior to filling. There is no state-mandated periodic inspection frequency for ASTs; ongoing inspection intervals are governed by the federal SPCC Rule at the federal level. In Medford specifically, the Medford Fire-Rescue division administers its own installation permit process under Medford Municipal Code §9.810, enforcing local tank capacity limits and requiring a city-level pre-fill inspection in addition to state requirements. Operational inspections are commonly performed under STI SP001 (shop-built tanks) or API 653 (field-erected tanks).
Genesis Inspection Services helps Medford-area businesses and facilities throughout Jackson County meet their full compliance obligations by providing certified API 653 and STI SP001 tank inspections and delivering the thorough documentation needed to satisfy both EPA SPCC regulations and Oregon state requirements under the Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal.
