What leak detection must I provide when enrolling an underground storage tank in the Nevada Petroleum Fund?

Enrollment coverage for aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) begins 6 months from date of receipt of an AST enrollment form (below) and enrollment payment unless this is a continuing enrollment (NRS 445C.410.2).

All operators of AST systems enrolled in the Fund must visually inspect their systems monthly (NAC 445C.250). The below inspection form may be used to meet this requirement. In addition to visual inspections, any operator with an aboveground storage tank that uses underground distribution piping that cannot be visually inspected, must have the piping tested prior to enrollment (and annually thereafter) for tightness by a certified tester. Any underground delivery piping that is constructed of steel, must also have a corrosion prevention system installed that must also be tested by a qualified corrosion tester annually (Fund Policy Resolution #2017-01).
