The Kansas State Fire Marshal's Office, Fire Prevention
Division, has developed the Above Ground Tank Program. Farmers and
ranchers with above ground storage tanks must acquire a permit from the
state of Kansas.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also has
rules. While mostly for commercial operations, the EPA rules are
affecting some farmers and ranchers. Both sets of
regulations/guidelines should be reviewed.
The links below are a breakdown of the programs and
regulations for above ground tanks. All program documents are in PDF
format.
