101.5A - SHARED PUBLIC PETROLEUM STORAGE FACILITIES.
101.5A SHARED PUBLIC PETROLEUM STORAGE FACILITIES.
The state fire marshal shall permit by rule the shared ownership,
operation, or cooperative use of a publicly owned petroleum storage
or dispensing facility by more than one public agency or political
subdivision in order to maximize the opportunity for cooperation, to
avoid unnecessary duplication of facilities posing both an
environmental and fire hazard, and to minimize the cost of providing
public services. Shared or cooperative use is not a violation of
chapter 23A, even if one public agency or political subdivision
compensates another public agency or political subdivision for the
use or for petroleum dispensed. A publicly owned petroleum storage
facility subject to this section may use aboveground or underground
storage tanks, or a combination of both. Section History: Recent Form
