As required under administrative regulations of the cabinet, a petroleum storage
tank owner or operator shall commence, or contract for, corrective action for a
release into the environment from a petroleum storage tank.
If a petroleum storage tank owner or operator fails or refuses to take corrective

initiate, or contract for, corrective action pursuant to KRS 224.60-105 to 224.60160 in accordance with subsection (3) of the section.
Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, before initiating, or contracting
for, corrective action, the cabinet shall make a reasonable effort to notify and
provide to the petroleum storage tank owner or operator an opportunity to comply
with the requirements of this section.
The cabinet may draw funds from the unobligated balance of the fund to undertake,
or contract for, corrective action necessary to prevent or remedy an emergency
situation threatening public health, safety, or the environment, resulting from a
release into the environment from a petroleum storage tank, unless a petroleum
storage tank owner or operator is taking appropriate action to abate emergency
situations in accordance with administrative regulations of the cabinet.
Within six (6) months from April 9, 1990, the state fire marshal shall promulgate
administrative regulations which require any person or organization who installs,
repairs, closes, or removes an underground storage tank for a petroleum storage tank
