The bill HB 390 has been amended to clarify that work related to aboveground storage tanks, specifically those registered under the Alabama Underground and Aboveground Storage Tank Trust Fund, will not be treated as environmental response projects. This change is significant because it streamlines regulations, potentially making it easier for businesses to manage their tanks without being burdened by additional environmental compliance requirements. Essentially, it provides a clearer legal framework for handling aboveground storage tanks, which can aid in efficient operations while still addressing environmental concerns.
