Overview

Boilers at power plants may be fired by fuel oil or natural gas. However, even when a power plant uses gas fired boilers to generate steam, backup fuel sources are often maintained and in many of those cases, fuel oil may be stored in underground storage tanks. If this is the case, then the power plant needs to consider what regulations/best practice is mandatory to prevent the discharge of oil.

This section of the EVC will address requirements/best practice associated with the storage of oil in underground storage tanks.
