Wyo. Stat. § 35-11-1414: Short title; purpose; department report.

(a) This article is known and may be cited as the "Storage Tank Act of 2007".

(b) The legislature recognizes the threat to the public health, safety, welfare and the environment caused by pollution to soil and water from underground and aboveground storage tanks. The purpose of this article is to take primacy of the underground storage tank program and to provide funding to take corrective actions at sites contaminated by underground storage tanks and aboveground storage tanks.

(c) The legislature also recognizes that owners and operators cannot take corrective action without placing their businesses' existence in financial jeopardy. The legislature finds that, because Wyoming is a large rural state, it is in the public interest to take corrective action at contaminated sites so that fuel will continue to be readily available throughout Wyoming.

(d) The department shall prepare an annual report for the legislature identifying the actions taken and monies expended pursuant to this article.
