Commonwealth of Kentucky: Final Approval of State Underground Storage Tank Program

The Commonwealth of Kentucky (Commonwealth or State) has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for final approval of its Underground Storage Tank (UST) program under Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA or Act). The EPA has reviewed the Commonwealth's application (State Application) and has made a final determination that the Commonwealth's UST program (UST Program) described in the State Application satisfies all the requirements necessary to qualify for final approval. Thus, the EPA is granting final approval to the State to operate its UST Program for petroleum and hazardous substances. On July 1, 2020, the EPA provided notification and an opportunity for comment on the Agency's tentative determination to approve the State's UST Program. No comments were received on the Agency's tentative determination and no further opportunity for comment will be provided.
