1. The operator of every storage tank, and every person who for compensation puts petroleum into a storage tank, shall report to the Division every discharge from that tank of which the operator or other person is aware or has reason to believe has occurred. The Division shall undertake or contract for cleaning up the discharge unless the operator or another person is already acting properly to clean it up. If the Division cleans up the discharge, the operator shall reimburse the Division for the operator’s share of the costs. If, in cleaning up the discharge, the Division expends money from the Fund in accordance with NRS 445C.320, the Division shall, upon being reimbursed by the operator of the storage tank pursuant to this subsection, deposit that money in the Fund.
2. Each operator who is required or who chooses to register a tank must, unless the tank has been tested for tightness under the federal standards embodied in 40 C.F.R. § 280.43c since July 1, 1988, test the tank pursuant to those standards before it is eligible for the coverage provided by NRS 445C.370 and 445C.380.
