According to Maine Fuel Code, oil tanks must be disposed of in accordance with what?

The correct answer is that oil tanks must be disposed of in accordance with The DEP, or the Department of Environmental Protection. This aligns with Maine's environmental regulations, which are designed to ensure the safe and responsible handling of hazardous materials, including oil tanks. The DEP oversees the management of waste and ensures compliance with environmental laws to prevent contamination of land and water.

While the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) sets nationwide standards and regulations regarding environmental protection, disposal procedures can be more localized based on state-specific regulations administered by the DEP. Local regulations and manufacturer guidelines may also provide additional protocols for disposal, but the primary authority in Maine for ensuring proper disposal of oil tanks falls under the jurisdiction of the DEP to address potential environmental concerns effectively.
