The VA had a third party conduct an inspection of our ASTs that revealed the following issues:

Conditions Identified/Recommendations:

· Upper Left Rear Dike-Wall Issue- There is a visible separation of upper corner section of wall system, thus, recommends it be repaired and sealed.

· Tank Labeling Issues- Recommend additional labeling for tank is put on tank to properly and clearly identify product in tank and also reflect tank numbers as noted above.

· Corrosion/Painting Issues- Recommend that for various smaller sections/areas of steel components (for tank and piping) that are starting to show signs of corrosion are repainted. However, it should be noted that there were no visible signs of structural damage to these components as of time of this inspection.
