Section 171.150  Certificate of Exemption

a)         Owners and operators of underground and above ground tanks not defined as UST systems may request a Certificate of Exemption from the requirements of this Part.  The Certificate of Exemption may serve to avoid any confusion as to whether Evidence of Compliance Status is required for the UST system and, therefore, avoid unintended denial of a delivery of petroleum, petroleum product, regulated substances or hazardous substances.

b)         The owner or operator must make a written request for a Certificate of Exemption to the Office.  A representative of the OSFM may inspect the tank or tank system.
