Control of Oil Pollution from Storage
Oil storage installations are regulated to prevent groundwater and waterway pollution, with specific size thresholds depending on premises type. Private dwellings storing over 3,500 litres and industrial/commercial/institutional sites storing over 200 litres are covered.
The control of pollution of groundwater and waterways within Northern Ireland is currently covered by The Groundwater Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 and The Water (Northern Ireland) Order 1999. This legislation is enhanced by The Control of Pollution (Oil storage) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 which covers above ground oil storage installations, on premises used wholly or mainly as one or more private dwellings, storing more than 3,500 litres of oil. It will also cover any industrial, commercial and institutional sites storing more than 200 litres of oil.
