Welcome to Manitoba Conservation's Petroleum Storage Program

Petroleum products continue to contaminate groundwater and soil. Contamination can occur from large spills or from small leaks and spills over a long period. The effects can be experienced through drinking water contamination, other public health issues, public safety concerns, and reduced real estate values. 

To ensure a safe environment the Manitoba government replaced the former legislation regulating the storage and handling of petroleum and associated products on December 17, 2001 . The new regulation is entitled the Storage and Handling of Petroleum Products and Allied Products Regulation (MR188/2001).
