(1) Existing law requires the owner or operator of an underground petroleum storage tank, or other responsible party, to take corrective action, as defined, in response to an unauthorized release of petroleum from the tank. A person required to perform corrective action may apply to the State Water Resources Control Board for payment of specified portions of the costs of corrective action. Existing law requires the board to pay claims of owners and operators in accordance with a specified order of priority. Existing law establishes the Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund in the State Treasury and authorizes the money in the fund to be used, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to pay those claims, and, among other things, for corrective actions undertaken by the board, a California regional water quality control board, or a local agency, and for the cleanup and oversight of unauthorized releases at abandoned tank sites. Existing law imposes certain petroleum storage fees upon the owner of an underground storage tank for which a permit is required and requires those fees to be deposited in the fund.
