"These guidelines are intended to assist those responsible for above ground oil storage tanks at sites other than oil refineries and distribution depots. They are jointly produced by the Environment Agency for England and Wales, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency and the Environment and Heritage Service in Northern Ireland, referred to as the Agency or Agencies. In England, the storage of oils (except waste oils) is regulated under the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage)(England) Regulations 2001. The regulations apply to industrial, commercial and institutional sites storing more than 200 litres of oil and private dwellings storing more than 3,500 litres. Highlighted text in these guidelines indicates areas that must be complied with under these regulations. Similar regulations are due to be introduced in
Scotland."
