The Division of Oil and Public Safety (OPS) will be conducting outreach meetings in 2009 to keep the regulated community informed about changes to regulations and other operational requirements. OPS invites petroleum storage tank owner/operators, contractors, vendors, environmental consultants and other interested parties to attend these outreach sessions. There is no cost to attend the outreach meetings, though admission will be limited to two attendees per company.

Topics that will be highlighted at these meetings include: regulatory changes driven by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (secondary containment, installer certification, delivery prohibition and operator training); operational compliance; changes to the remediation section regulations, guidance, policies and procedures; petroleum storage tank fund policy and application updates.

The final outreach meeting will be held on November 16, 2009 from 8 AM - 3 PM, at the:

Fort Lewis College
