Summary

Under existing law, the Barry Keene Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Trust Fund Act of 1989, every owner of an underground storage tank is required to pay a storage fee for each gallon of petroleum placed in the tank. The act requires the fees to be deposited in the Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund, and authorizes the State Water Resources Control Board to expend the moneys in the fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for various purposes, including the payment of claims to aid owners and operators of petroleum underground storage tanks who take corrective action to clean up unauthorized releases from those tanks, the cleanup and oversight of unauthorized releases at abandoned tank sites, and grants to small businesses to retrofit certain hazardous substance underground storage tanks. The act requires the board, until January 1, 2026, to establish the Expedited Claim Pilot Project to investigate and implement methods to improve claim processing procedures to reduce the overall cost for site cleanup and time to reach closure. The act, until January 1, 2026, establishes the Expedited Claim Account in the Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund and, upon appropriation by the Legislature, requires the moneys in the account to be expended for the implementation of the pilot program. The act requires the board to prepare a report, on or before January 1, 2018, analyzing the effectiveness and efficiency of the Expedited Claim Pilot Project in expediting the funding of claims and completions of site cleanups. Existing law requires the report to be posted on the board's Internet Web site and updated periodically. This bill would extend the deadline for that report to January 1, 2020, and would require the report to be submitted to the Legislature on or before that date.
