How-ever, DEQ believes compliance is higher and they are just waiting for final reports to be filed by tank owners. In July, DEQ shared a draft of proposed R311 rule changes with the Underground Storage Tank Taskforce that include a lot of reformatting, rewording, and removing redundancy to comply with the new Federal rules. DEQ hopes to present the final proposed changes to their Board in November or December prior to the sixty-day public comment period. DEQ has developed a Health & Safety Checklist for tank inspections during the COVID-19 pandemic, and continues to work on an on-line training and testing program for consultants, but as of now, extensions are being granted on all certification renewals.
