The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved changes to Indiana's Underground Storage Tank (UST) program, ensuring it aligns with federal requirements. These revisions, which satisfy federal standards, include both more stringent state measures and broader state coverage. Indiana's UST regulations are now enforceable at the federal level, though certain state-specific provisions are implemented independently. The action also clarifies that these changes do not affect areas recognized as Indian country.
Simple Explanation
The EPA has agreed that Indiana's new rules for keeping underground tanks safe and not leaking are good and match national rules, but these rules don't apply to land where Native American tribes live.
