§ 53076 Underground Tank Repair Permits

• •If an underground steel gas tank leaks because it rusted inside, the city can't say no to fixing it just because they want to coat the inside.
• •The city can still say no to using the tank after it's fixed if it doesn't meet their other rules for underground tanks.
• •This rule is about fixing tanks, not about putting in new ones or other kinds of fixes.

A gas station has an old underground steel tank that starts leaking because it rusted inside. They want to fix it by coating the inside instead of replacing the whole tank.

The city can't say no to the repair just because they don't like the coating method. But if the tank still doesn't meet the city's safety rules after coating, they can stop the gas station from using it.
