Bill overview
California Assembly Bill 626 creates an exemption for operators of single-walled underground storage tanks (USTs) that are actively working to upgrade to double-walled tanks by December 31, 2025. To qualify for this exemption, operators must submit a written request to their local enforcement agency, demonstrating good faith efforts and providing evidence of permitting delays. The local agency must then review the request and issue a determination within 60 days. This bill aims to provide a temporary grace period while operators comply with stricter regulations, but it does not waive the ultimate requirement to upgrade to double-walled tanks and does not preclude penalties for noncompliance with other regulations.
