For example: if an <br />UST has three compartments and two of them are hydraulically linked -- the <br />entire configuration is then comprised of two USTs and permits are required <br />for each. The same logic is applicable to other compartmentalized <br />situations. <br />The term "hydraulically linked" means that the compartments contain the same <br />substance and share withdrawal pipe(s). <br />When a compartment is permitted as a separate UST, it follows that a state <br />surcharge fee is assessed on each UST. <br />If you have any questions concerning this letter, please call Patrick Lam at <br />(916) 739-4324. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mike McDonald, Manager <br />Underground Storage;Tank Program <br />cc: Standard Distribution <br />
