Nevada: Toxic substances
The State Environmental Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider Regulation R005-08: Secondary Containment for USTs. The proposed regulation would amend existing provisions governing storage tanks in NAC 459.9921 to 459.999. They would require the use of secondary containment with leak detection on all new or replaced USTs and piping regulated under Subtitle I of RCRA and NRS 459.800 to 459.856. The regulations are based on requirements developed by the U.S. Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The hearing will be held March 18, 2008.
