All uses associated with the bulk storage of oil, gasoline, liquid fertilizer, chemicals, and similar liquids shall require a special use permit in order that the Council may have assurance that fire, explosion, or water or soil contamination hazards are not present (that would be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare). The Council may require the development of diking around the tanks. Diking shall be suitably sealed, and shall hold a leakage capacity equal to 115% of the tank capacity. Any existing storage tank that, in the opinion of the Council, constitutes a hazard to the public safety shall discontinue operations within one year following the effective date of this chapter. All diking and bulk storage must be in compliance with the appropriate MPCA regulations.
