01.Use of Chemicals. No pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers may be applied to a well lot without prior approval from the Department.02.Storage of Hazardous Materials. No pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, portable containers of petroleum products, or other materials known to be toxic or hazardous may be stored on a well lot, except that:a. An internal combustion engine to drive either a generator for emergency standby power or a pump to provide fire flows, and an associated fuel tank, may be placed on the well lot.b. A propane or natural gas powered generator is preferable to reduce risk of fuel spillage.c. If a diesel or gasoline-fueled engine is used, the fuel tank and connecting piping must be approved by the Underwriter's Laboratory, Inc., double-walled, meet the requirements of the local fire jurisdiction, and include both spill prevention and overfill protection features. The tank must be above ground and may be contained within the structural base of the generator unit. A spill containment structure must surround all fuel tanks and be sized to contain at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fuel tank volume. The Department may require additional containment capacity in settings where accumulation of snow, ice, or rain water may be expected to diminish the usable capacity of the structure. A licensed PWS operator must be present during filling of the tank following a period of usage, or during periodic extraction and replacement of outdated fuel.d. If the internal combustion engine is located within the pump house, the floor of the pump house must be constructed so as to contain all petroleum drips and spills so that they will not be able to reach the floor drain(s). Engine exhaust must be directly discharged outside the pump house.03.Parking Lots and Vehicle Storage.
