Does anyone know of any federal and/or state requirements for secondary containment of petroleum storage tanks. Specifically double bottoms. Thanks.

I think 40 CFR 119, Oil Pollution Act requires it. I know that it is a requirement of NFPA 30 and the 2003 International Fire Code requires containment.

The secondary containment is usually dike with liner- not often actually a double bottom.
