District of Columbia Delivery Prohibition Program

How to Identify an Ineligible Underground Storage Tank:
Annual registration is required. The certificate of registration should be posted in a conspicuous location at the facility. Deliveries to the facility are prohibited unless a current registration certificate is present at the facility, the facility is listed on the current monthly registration list, or the deliverer is in possession of a copy of the current certificate. For serious violations, District Department of the Environment (DDOE) program staff will affix a tag, lock clip and/or padlock to the fill of the noncompliant underground storage tank system. This tag or lock must be marked "Do Not Fill" and have the DDOE contact information upon it. Should the fill be in a condition where locking or tagging is not feasible DDOE staff may plug and label the fill in such a manner that alerts a delivery company but does not damage the fill port. Additional stickers or labels may be affixed to locations at the facility where DDOE deems it is warranted to alert a delivery company of the ban.
