Before the owner can use the tanks, pumps, or dispensers again, the L&I inspector has to say it’s okay. If the owner doesn’t do what the order says, the Department can take them to court.

Under the Combustible and Flammable Liquids Act, the Department of Labor & Industry is responsible for approving the installation or relocation of tanks, pumps and dispensing devices associated with flammable and combustible liquids.

For aboveground and underground tanks, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) handles rules about their setup, upkeep, and removal.

For Ethanol-85 installations, you’ll get an E-85 INSTALLATION CERTIFICATION form (LIBI-707). Keep this form on site and show it to the inspector.

When the Department gets a complaint about a violation, they’ll check it out. If they find dangerous things or things that don’t follow the rules at a place that’s supposed to follow the rules, an L&I inspector can make a written order (under Section 9 of Act 15). This order will say what needs fixing.
