A proposal to update the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR’s) underground tank rules is up for approval at the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission’s November 17 business meeting. The proposed rule changes will update professional licensing and certification programs for underground storage tank inspectors and testers; improve detection and prevention of petroleum releases, a leading cause of groundwater contamination; and update outdated provisions and code language.
Approval of the proposed rule changes reportedly will enable DNR to maintain its delegated authority to administer underground storage tank regulations under the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act.
