Phelan, Jr. <br />President <br />California Asphalt Pavement Association <br />12501 Chandler Boulevard, Suite 103 <br />North Hollywood, CA 91607 <br />Dear Mr. Phelan: <br />REGULATION OF LIQUID ASPHALT TANKS <br />L] <br />Thank you for your April 23, 1986 letter stating your conclusions on the <br />applicability of underground tank regulations to liquid asphalt tanks. It <br />appears, based on information received from the California Department of <br />Transportation, that steam -refined asphalts (i.e., the AR grades) do not pose <br />a significant threat to the quality of the waters of the state. Accordingly, <br />we have determined that underground storage tanks containing steam -refined <br />asphalts are exempt from state laws and regulations pertaining to permit <br />requirements. If you believe that other grades of liquid asphalt you are <br />storing could not adversely affect the quality of the waters of the state, you <br />may submit any analyses, tests, or data that support your findings to us for <br />review to determine if your tanks could be exempted from regulation. Our <br />determinations will apply to specific grades of liquid asphalt.. The <br />information you submit should also make distinctions for the different <br />grades. <br />If you have any further questions regarding this issue, please contact <br />Wayne Hubbard of my staff at (916) 445-7769. <br />Sincerely, <br />'SIGNED BY <br />Edward C. Anton, Chief <br />Program and Investigations <br />Division of Water Quality <br />cc: David J. Leu, Ph.D. <br />Toxic Substance Control Division <br />Department of Health Services <br />714/744 P Street <br />Sacramento, CA 95814 <br />
