Ariz. Admin. Code § R12-7-143 - Oil Tanks, Fire Walls, and Fire Hazards
A. Oil shall not be stored or retained in an
earthen reservoir or an open receptacle. The Commission may require dikes or
fire walls to protect life, health, or property. All dikes or fire walls shall
be erected and continuously maintained around all permanent oil tanks or
batteries that are within the corporate limits of any city, town or village, or
where such tanks are closer than 150 feet to any highway or inhabited dwelling,
or closer than 1,000 feet to any school or church. The capacity of the dike or
firewall shall be 1 1/2 times the capacity of the tank or tanks that it
surrounds. The reservoir so formed within the dike shall be kept free from
vegetation, water and oil.
B.
Anything that might constitute a fire hazard, including potentially flammable
items and reckless behavior such as smoking, shall be moved at least 150 feet
from the well, tanks, separator, or other equipment.
