have the following meanings:

a. "Shell color" shall mean any coating on the sides or shell of a

tank, which reduces volatile emissions.

b. "Roof color" shall mean any coating on the roof of a tank, which

reduces volatile emissions.

c. "Tank" shall have the meaning set forth in section 17-1003 of this

title except that for purposes of this section "tank" means an

above-ground tank, unless the department determines the tank to be

otherwise sufficiently protected against volatilization in a manner no

less protective than subdivision two of this section, and does not

beige/cream, or which limits volatile emissions to the same or to a

greater extent as a shell color and roof color of white or beige/cream,

as determined by the department.
