Your questions answered about tank inspections in the Parkersburg, WV 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 potential to discharge into navigable waters—such as the Ohio River and the Little Kanawha River, which converge at Parkersburg—must maintain an SPCC Plan. This includes documented inspections of tanks, piping, valves, and containment systems to demonstrate ongoing spill prevention readiness.
West Virginia is among the most rigorous state AST programs in the nation. Under W. Va. Code §22-30 (the Aboveground Storage Tank Act) and its implementing rule 47 CSR 63, administered by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water and Waste, Tanks Unit, all ASTs meeting the statutory definition must be registered with WVDEP—operating an unregistered tank is unlawful and subject to civil penalties up to $10,000 per tank per day. Regulated tanks are classified as Level 1 or Level 2 based on proximity to public water supply sources, with Level 1 tanks held to a higher standard. State regulation (47 CSR 63-5.2) mandates annual certification for all regulated ASTs; qualified-person evaluations—by a WV-licensed PE, an API-certified inspector, or an STI-certified inspector—are required on a 3-year cycle for Level 1 tanks and a 5-year cycle for Level 2 tanks, with owner/operator self-certification covering intervening annual years. Secondary containment is subject to routine visual inspections every 14 days (Level 1) or monthly (Level 2). Inspections are commonly performed under STI SP001 for shop-built tanks and API 653 for field-erected tanks.
Genesis Inspection Services helps businesses in Parkersburg and throughout Wood County meet their full compliance obligations by conducting certified API 653 and STI SP001 inspections and delivering the thorough documentation required to satisfy both EPA SPCC regulations and West Virginia state requirements under W. Va. Code §22-30 and 47 CSR 63.
