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 Willamette River, which flows directly through Salem—must maintain an SPCC Plan. This includes documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and 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. Oregon DEQ explicitly states it has not adopted rules for AST installation or removal; the State Fire Marshal holds primary authority. For flammable and combustible liquid ASTs over 1,000 gallons, plan review and a final installation inspection by the State Fire Marshal are required prior to filling. There is no state-mandated periodic inspection frequency for ASTs beyond that pre-fill approval; ongoing periodic inspections are governed by the federal SPCC Rule. Inspections are commonly performed under STI SP001 (shop-built tanks) or API 653 (field-erected tanks) as applicable.
Genesis Inspection Services helps Salem-area businesses operating aboveground storage tanks throughout Marion County by delivering certified API 653 and STI SP001 inspections along with the thorough documentation needed to support compliance with EPA SPCC regulations and Oregon state requirements.
