By Order of the Secretary of the Air Force, Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 32-1067, Water and Fuel Systems, is re-designated Department of the Air Force Manual (DAFMAN) and this DAF Guidance Memorandum (DAFGM) immediately implements changes to DAFMAN 32- 1067. Compliance with this memorandum is mandatory. To the extent its directions are inconsistent with other Department of the Air Force (DAF) publications, the information herein prevails, in accordance with DAFMAN 90-161, Publishing Processes and Procedures.

This memorandum provides DAF guidance for storage tank compliance and inspections for underground storage tanks and steel aboveground storage tanks including piping and pipelines in direct contact with soil.

The below changes to AFMAN 32-1067, dated 4 Aug 2020, are effective immediately. The use of an asterisk (*) identifies a substantive change over the previous guidance. Compliance with Attachment 1 in this publication is mandatory. All references to United States Air Force (USAF) terminology, units, grades, and positions will also apply to the equivalent in the United States Space Force (USSF), as appropriate. For example, references to Airmen will also apply to Guardians. References to MAJCOMs or NAFs will also apply to field commands. References to wings will also apply to deltas.

Air Staff roles and responsibilities (e.g., AF/A1, etc.) may also apply to the equivalent Office of the Chief of Space Operations (Space Staff) position or office (e.g., SF/S1, etc.), as deemed appropriate.

Changed. This publication applies to all DAF civilian employees and uniformed members of the United States Space Force, Regular Air Force, the Air Force Reserve, the Air National Guard, and those who are contractually obligated to comply with Department of the Air Force publications performing work or inspections in accordance with this DAFMAN.

*2.9.20. Added. The BCE will appoint a qualified POL Storage Tank Compliance program manager to oversee installation compliance with the tasks in Chapter 9 of this DAFMAN and should reference qualifications in the same chapter.

*9.6.3.3. Changed. Underground Storage Tank Inspections. A certified class A or B operator must inspect USTs every 30 days using the checklist required by the implementing regulatory agency. If the regulatory agency does not provide a required checklist, use a checklist provided by a nationally recognized standard of practice, or an equivalent checklist. Exceptions may be applicable to frequency of overfill equipment inspections and allowance for remote monitoring of release detection, and review of implementing agency requirements. Field constructed tanks and aviation pressurized fuel systems regulated as an UST system must be inspected in accordance with 40 CFR 280.252. (T-0) All recurring 30-day compliance inspections must be documented in STAR as an assessment, regardless of checklist used.
