Item 1

 
5. Spill prevention and control. An aboveground oil storage
facility used in the marketing and distribution of oil to others
must be operated in compliance with the federal requirements for
the preparation and implementation of spill prevention control
and countermeasure plans under 40 Code of Federal Regulations,
112 (2001) in effect on April 17, 2003. Failure to comply with
those federal requirements in accordance with the deadlines set
by the United States Environmental Protection Agency constitutes
a violation of this Title. If the department believes that a
facility's plan does not satisfy those federal requirements, the
department shall request an opinion from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency as to the legal adequacy of the
plan and any amendment necessary to bring the facility into
compliance with those federal requirements. The department shall
prepare educational and technical materials for use by facilities
affected by this subsection. This subsection is repealed October
1, 2005.
