Underground and Aboveground Storage Tanks

The ministry does not have specific regulations to govern petroleum storage tanks. We recommend tank owners follow the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) codes of practice for such tanks. These codes may be obtained through the CCME office.

Also, the BC Fire Code has requirements and bulletins which apply to such storage tanks.
