Summary
This is a Technical Guidance Document attachment from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) related to the SPEED Act Permit Program for Storage Tanks. The document serves as a resource compilation that supports the expedited permit review process established under Article XVIII, Sections 1803-1805 of Act No. 54 of 2024 (SPEED Act). The guidance references the foundational Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Act of 1989 and provides Qualified Professionals with access to relevant regulations, forms, policies, and external resources necessary to conduct comprehensive permit reviews. The document includes citations to the General Information Form (GIF) and Site Specific Installation Permit Package requirements, along with multiple DEP policies governing permit review processes, public participation, environmental emergency response planning, and Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory coordination.
The guidance document directs applicants and Qualified Professionals to utilize specific online tools and databases for environmental assessment, including GIS mapping tools, eMapPA for floodplain and water supply determinations, the Pennsylvania Groundwater Information System (PAGWIS), the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory Environmental Review Tool, the PA Historical and Museum Commission's PA-SHARE system for cultural resource identification, and resources from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for geological and scenic river information. The document is subject to modification based on operational or legal/regulatory changes, and all work must comply with DEP requirements and contract terms established through individual Project Work Orders issued when applicants request expedited review services.
