1. It is designed to prevent releases due to corrosion or structural failure for the operational life of the tank.
2. It is cathodically protected against corrosion, constructed of noncorrosive material, steel clad with a noncorrosive material or designed in a manner to prevent the release of a regulated substance.
3. The material used in the construction or lining of the tank is compatible with the substance to be stored.
B. Beginning January 1, 2009, A person shall not install an underground storage tank unless the underground storage tank meets the secondary containment performance standards for new underground storage tank systems prescribed in 40 Code of FEDERAL REGULATIONS section 280.20 as in EFFECT on January 1, 2020 and release detection requirements for hazardous substance underground storage tank systems in 40 Code of Federal Regulations section 280.42 and the interstitial monitoring requirements in 40 Code of Federal Regulations section 280.43, subsection G 280.43(g) as in effect on January 1, 2020.
C. Beginning January 1, 2009, A person shall not install a new piping component that is twenty-five per cent fifty percent or more of the total linear footage of all connected piping of the underground storage tank unless all connected piping of the underground storage tank that conveys a regulated substance under pressure is brought into compliance with the secondary containment performance standards for new underground storage tank systems prescribed in 40 Code of FEDERAL REGULATIONS section 280.20 as in EFFECT on January 1, 2020 and release detection requirements for hazardous substance underground storage tank systems in 40 Code of Federal Regulations section 280.42 and the interstitial monitoring requirements in 40 Code of Federal Regulations section 280.43, subsection G 280.43(g) as in effect on January 1, 2020.

F. The director may adopt rules specifying design, construction, installation, performance and compatibility standards for underground storage tanks. The rules adopted pursuant to this subsection shall be consistent with and no not more stringent than federal regulations in effect on the date on which the rules are adopted.
