**Petroleum Bulk Storage (PBS) Compliance Expertise in NYC**

At NAJO Consulting LLC, we are your trusted partners in ensuring that your oil storage operations remain compliant with the stringent regulations mandated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), specifically NYCRR Part 613 Petroleum Bulk Storage. With our extensive experience and commitment to regulatory excellence, we offer a comprehensive range of PBS Compliance services tailored to meet your specific needs in New York City, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island, and the greater NYC Metropolitan Area.
**On-Site PBS Tank Evaluations:** Our journey to compliance begins with meticulous on-site PBS tank evaluations. We leave no stone unturned in auditing your facility for compliance with DEC regulations, as well as New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) tank room building codes and FDNY requirements. Our experts scrutinize PBS permits, cross-referencing them with physical tanks and providing photographic evidence for visible issues. We document recommendations to remediate identified issues, offering solutions that align with regulatory standards.
**Project Work for Compliance:** Our commitment to compliance goes beyond evaluation. We execute project work that ensures your tanks and tank rooms meet the highest standards. This includes adding correct signage, applying required epoxy paint for floors and anti-corrosive tank paint, and updating concrete floors to meet specifications. We excel in installing and repairing retaining walls (secondary containment walls), performing plumbing work, including vent alarms, high-level alarms, anti-siphon valves, and vent and fill line repairs or replacements. Our services also encompass installing neoprene rubber gaskets, weep holes, tightness testing, and ensuring proper self-closing fire-rated doors are in place.
**PBS Permit Applications and Updates:** Navigating the PBS permit landscape can be complex. NAJO Consulting offers expert guidance and completes documentation on behalf of clients for PBS renewals and new applications. We advise when amendments are needed to keep PBS applications up to date, ensuring compliance with the law. Additionally, we negotiate applicable late fees for filing amendments with the DEC, helping you navigate regulatory processes seamlessly.
**Monthly/Ongoing Compliance Inspections:** Maintaining compliance is an ongoing commitment. NAJO Consulting develops a customized plan and documentation for each site and oil tank to achieve and sustain compliance. Our PBS experts perform New York State required monthly inspections, meticulously documenting compliance with regulations both on-site and remotely for both Above Ground and Underground oil tanks. With our cloud-based storage system, you can rest assured that your compliance records are secure and audit-ready at all times.
At NAJO Consulting, we are dedicated to safeguarding your compliance, ensuring the safety of your operations, and optimizing your bottom line. Our expertise and commitment to excellence make us your premier partner in **PBS compliance within the New York City Metropolitan Area.**
