  • As of April 2, 2005 all operations with regulated petroleum storage tanks require operation permit(s).

  • For transfer of ownership, complete and submit the transfer of ownership application

  • If a valid permit does not exist for the facility, the distributor must refuse delivery.  For further information, download the reference guide or Manitoba Regulation 188/2001.

  • Additionally, a valid operating permit will be revoked if the upgrade schedule, that forms part of the operating permit, is not followed.  Depending on the type of Petroleum Storage System, three different upgrade schedules exist:

1.  Underground tanks not containing waste oil
2.  Underground tanks containing waste oil
3.  Aboveground storage tanks
