As of Oct 11, 2015, the NYSDEC has finalized changes to how Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) & Chemical Bulk Storage (CBS) are regulated. In an effort to consolidate federal requirements into State regulations and to clarify other State requirements, these changes significantly augment what it means to operate a PBS or CBS facility. Some of the major changes incorporated regard the structure of PBS/CBS regulation in general as well as, applicability (i.e.: definitions), operator training, record-keeping and equipment requirements.
