The "Farmers Undertake Environmental Land Stewardship Act," or FUELS Act, proposes amendments to the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014, specifically targeting the application of the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule for farms. The primary goal is to revise the thresholds for aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity, which dictates a farm's SPCC compliance obligations, thereby streamlining regulatory requirements for agricultural operations. Key provisions of the bill include increasing the maximum aggregate aboveground storage capacity from 20,000 gallons to 42,000 gallons for certain categories, and redefining others for farms with storage capacities between 10,000 and 42,000 gallons, and those with less than or equal to 10,000 gallons. Additionally, the bill raises specific gallon thresholds from 1,000 to 1,320 and from 2,500 to 3,000 . These modifications, along with the elimination of certain subsections, collectively aim to adjust the scope and reduce the compliance burden of the SPCC rule for agricultural facilities.
