The environmental conservation law is amended by adding a new section 17-1016 to read as follows: § 17-1016. REDUCTION OF AIR POLLUTION FROM PETROLEUM BULK STORAGE FACIL- ITIES. 1. STATEMENT OF FINDINGS. A. ABOVE-GROUND STORAGE TANKS CONTAINING PETROLEUM AND PETROLEUM-CONTAINING PRODUCTS ARE A MAJOR SOURCE OF AIR POLLUTANTS, INCLUDING VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS SUCH AS BENZENE, TOLUENE, ETHYLBENZENE, XYLENE AND FORMALDEHYDE.

C. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT THE COLOR OF AN ABOVE-GROUND STORAGE TANK SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS THE AMOUNT OF AIR POLLUTANTS EMITTED FROM THE TANK.

REQUIRING ABOVE-GROUND STORAGE TANKS TO BE PAINTED LIGHTER COLORS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT AIR QUALITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFITS, PARTIC- ULARLY IN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMUNITIES THAT ALREADY BEAR A DISPROPORTIONATE POLLUTION BURDEN. 2.
