In the latest development relating to West Virginia's new aboveground storage tank ("AST") legislation, yesterday afternoon the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection filed with the West Virginia Secretary of State its finalized Interpretive Rule outlining mechanisms for compliance with the imminent deadlines under the Aboveground Storage Tank Act, W. Va. Code ยงยง 22-30-1 et seq., for (1) spill prevention response planning and (2) initial inspection and certification.  See 47 C.S.R. 62.
