The Town of Marlborough relies entirely on groundwater for its
drinking water supplies. To ensure a clean, dependable water supply
for the present and future residents of the community, it is the purpose
of this chapter to protect its groundwater resources, through reasonable
requirements as may be necessary to ensure the proper installation
of fuel storage tanks.
The Building Official and/or Fire Marshal shall require that
fuel storage tanks and components are located above ground in a basement
or a protective structure unless safety, health or site-specific conditions
necessitate the use of an underground fuel-storage system.
The latest revision of the Building Official's Code (BOCA) Flammable
and Combustible Liquids is hereby make a part of this chapter.
Underground fuel storage systems of all sizes for new facilities,
including new residential buildings, as well as the repair, alteration
or replacement of underground fuel-storage systems of all sizes at
existing facilities, including residential buildings, shall be in
accordance with the corrosion protection, testing and monitoring provisions
of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Publication Number
30, entitled "Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code" (Section 2-3);
NFPA 31, Standards for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment,
and the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, Section 22a-449(d)-1,
"Control of the Nonresidential Underground Storage and Handling of
Oil and Petroleum Liquids," as all of the foregoing may be amended
from time to time.
