Is it true or false that tanks less than 10,000 gallons installed after April 11, 2016 do not have to meet the secondary containment requirement?

True
False
Depends on the tank's location
Contingent on state laws

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false because all underground storage tanks (USTs) installed after April 11, 2016, must meet the secondary containment requirements, regardless of their size. Secondary containment systems are crucial for preventing leaks and ensuring that any potential leakage from the primary tank is contained within a secondary barrier. This requirement is part of California's efforts to protect the environment and public health from the risks associated with USTs. Thus, the correct answer aligns with the regulatory framework that mandates secondary containment for tanks, regardless of their capacity, ensuring a comprehensive approach to leak prevention and environmental protection.
