Sec. 5c. (1) A person shall not establish or maintain 1 or more of the following without obtaining a certificate from the department of environmental quality:

(a) A flammable compressed gas or liquefied petroleum gas container filling location.

(b) An aboveground flammable compressed gas or liquefied petroleum gas storage location that has a tank with a water capacity of more than 2,000 gallons or has 2 or more tanks with an aggregate water capacity of more than 4,000 gallons.

(c) An aboveground storage location for a flammable liquid or combustible liquid that has an individual tank storage capacity of more than 1,100 gallons. Crude petroleum collection tanks that receive crude petroleum directly from a wellhead and are certified by the department of environmental quality may be maintained without further inspection by the department of environmental quality, except as the department of environmental quality considers necessary to assure compliance with this act.

(2) The department of environmental quality may require that a person obtain approval from the department of environmental quality before the installation of an aboveground storage tank for flammable or combustible liquids that has an individual tank storage capacity of 1,100 gallons or less. However, this requirement does not apply to farm location storage tanks of 1,100 gallons or less capacity used for storing motor fuel for noncommercial purposes or heating oil for consumptive use on the premises where stored.
