What is the deadline for the first three-year test or inspection of spill and overfill prevention equipment installed before October 13, 2015?

  1. April 11, 2018

  2. October 13, 2018

  3. January 1, 2019

  4. December 31, 2018

The correct answer is: October 13, 2018

The deadline for conducting the first three-year test or inspection of spill and overfill prevention equipment that was installed prior to October 13, 2015, is indeed October 13, 2018. This requirement is rooted in regulatory compliance aimed at ensuring that such equipment functions correctly and reduces environmental risks associated with petroleum storage. Facilities that installed spill and overfill prevention equipment before this cutoff date are mandated to have it inspected within three years of the regulation’s implementation. This timing gives operators sufficient opportunity to comply with the regulations while managing their operations effectively. Recognizing specific deadlines for inspections is crucial for operators to avoid penalties and ensure that their systems are compliant with state regulations, promoting environmental safety and responsibility. The other options represent deadlines either before or after the requirement set forth by the relevant regulations, making them incorrect in this context.
