A. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
1. API 653 Inspection
This project will perform API 653 inspections of various tanks at facilities throughout the United States. Additional consideration is given to federal, state, and local regulations, as well as applicable military criteria and general industry standards.
An API Standard 653 In‐Service (Visual) inspection was performed for Tank 101 A
(Facility 8314 A).
2. Site Information
On December 3, 2019, Argus Consulting and our sub‐consultant (InterSpec, LLC) performed an API 653 In‐Service (Visual) inspection of Tank 101 A (Facility 8314 A), located at Ft. Riley, KS.
B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS
1. Secondary Containment
40 CFR 112.7(c) states that the entire secondary containment system, “including walls and floor, must be capable of containing oil and must be constructed so that any discharge from a primary containment system ... will not escape containment before cleanup occurs.” 40 CFR 112.8(c)(2) and 40 CFR 112.12(c)(2) state that diked areas must be “sufficiently impervious to contain oil.” The purpose of the secondary containment requirement is to prevent discharges, as described in 40 CFR 112.1(b);
therefore, effective secondary containment methods must be able to contain oil until the oil is cleaned up. The secondary containment area consists of a geomembrane floor and sloped berm walls. An informal containment evaluation was conducted. Based on visual observation, the containment does appear to be of sufficient size to contain a total tank loss per UFC 3‐460‐01 Section 8‐14.2.1, “The containment area needs to have sufficient capacity to contain the tank contents plus one foot of freeboard. If the containment has the capacity to contain the tank contents plus one foot of freeboard, the containment area is sufficient.” Based on visual observation, the secondary containment area appears to be properly graded to drain water away from the tank in accordance with NFPA 30.
2. Tank Construction
Tank 101 A (Facility 8314 A) is a nominal 2,500 barrel, 28’ diameter by 24’ tall, F‐24
Jet Fuel, aboveground vertical storage tank. The original construction nameplate is affixed to the tank but is not legible.
3. Tank Foundation
The tank rests on top of a concrete ringwall. The foundation was visually evaluated during the inspection for broken concrete, spalling, cracks, and vegetation against the bottom of the tank. The concrete pad has minor exposed hairline cracks. The tank bottom‐to‐foundation sealant was inspected; it is not in satisfactory condition.
A shell settlement survey was performed during the inspection in accordance with
Appendix B of API Standard 653. Settlement results are listed in Appendix A.
4. Tank Bottom
Not evaluated during this inspection.
5. Tank Shell
The shell is constructed of A‐36 carbon steel material. The shell is a cylindrical design, butt‐welded together, consisting of three (3) courses. The shell exterior has a thin film epoxy coating system (assumed). The coating was inspected for disbonding, adhesion, deterioration, and discoloration; it is in unsatisfactory condition. Based on visual observation, roundness, plumbness, peaking, and banding of the shell appear to be within the allowable tolerances of API Standard 653. Based on visual observation, the tank is stable and does not appear to be in danger of overturning or buckling due to high winds or seismic conditions.
6. Tank Floating Roof
The tank is not equipped with an internal floating roof.
7. Tank Fixed Roof
The fixed roof is a supported cone roof constructed of carbon steel material. The fixed roof has an epoxy coating system (assumed) on the exterior. The coating was inspected for disbonding, adhesion, deterioration, and discoloration; it is in unsatisfactory condition.
