Mechanisms for designating tanks ineligible for delivery

1. Upon identifying an underground storage tank as ineligible for delivery, deposit, or acceptance of product, the department shall notify tank owners or operators in writing (for example, field notification or mail) prior to prohibiting the delivery, deposit, or acceptance of product into the ineligible tank. 2. After reasonable effort is made to notify the underground storage tank owner or operator in writing, the department may affix a "red tag" to the fill pipe of the noncompliant underground storage tank system using a tamper-resistant strap or straps, fill pipe bag, or any combination thereof so the tag clearly identifies the tank as ineligible to receive product. 3. The department shall develop a process and procedure for notifying transfer operators when an underground storage tank is ineligible for delivery, deposit, or acceptance of product. Notice shall be made available (for example, electronic listing) to transfer operators within twenty-four hours of an underground storage tank being identified as ineligible to receive product.
