Underground Storage Tanks

 

• Type Of Program:
  Maryland has a red tag-type program but uses yellow tags.

• How To Identify An Ineligible Underground Storage Tank:
  The application of a yellow tag and/or lock to the tank's fill pipe identifies an ineligible underground storage tank.  Deliveries to these tanks are prohibited until the removal of the yellow tag is authorized by the inspector administering the yellow tag or other designated Maryland Department of the Environment official.  The Maryland Department of the Environment will notify the tank owner and operator.  The Department will further make an attempt to notify known delivery companies as well as post delivery ban information on the MDE Web site (under development).  The tank operator is responsible for notifying the delivery company of the delivery prohibition status.
