For those that manage multiple USTs owned and/or operated by different companies at a site, all parties should prepare and coordinate submission of financial responsibility in myDEQ, ADEQ's online portal.

This will help prevent possible enforcement action at a site and disruption to regular operations as a result of a single tank's coverage expiring.

Key items for each owner/operator to have ready for submission:

• Proof of financial responsibility for their own tank(s)¹ | View Mechanism Types > | View/Download myDEQ User Guide >
• Specific tank number(s) for financial responsibility coverage (not properly selecting tank numbers will result in a submission error)
• Contact information for all involved parties
  
  

Setting up myDEQ user roles:

• One primary company entity must act as the Responsible Corporate Officer (RCO) in our online portal, myDEQ
• The RCO can create multiple companies in myDEQ and assign each company one or more Delegated Responsible Officers (DROs)
• The owner or operator of each individual tank can act as DRO for their tank in myDEQ and submit required documentation
• If tanks are operated by different entities, but all owned by a single entity, a representative from the owner entity can be added as a DRO to oversee the process as a whole
• DROs can assign insurance agents or brokers as limited-scope Submitters to submit the required insurance documents, if applicable
  
  

Keep in mind:

• Proof of financial responsibility must be submitted individually for each company
• If there is already a report in draft status, you must either continue that draft report or delete it before starting a new one
• Before submitting, review past documentation in myDEQ to avoid duplicative reporting
