The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has proposed changes to update and consolidate its petroleum bulk storage (PBS) and chemical bulk storage (CBS) regulations that will, if adopted, affect as many as 40,000 facilities in the state.1

The proposed regulations are intended to consolidate and update existing bulk storage rules to reflect changes to state and federal environmental laws. According to the DEC, the proposed changes will make compliance easier and less expensive. Whether these new rules live up to this promise will be tested during their implementation.
