EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Austin Brockenbrough & Associates, LLP (Brockenbrough) was retained by Omaha District USACE under

Contract No. W9128F-10-D-0006 Delivery Order 0010 to perform SPCC Mandated Shop Built AST

Inspections. As required by this task, Brockenbrough executed a tank inspection site visit to Camp

Blanding JTC near Starke, Florida. A formal external inspection per the guidelines of STI SP001 “Standard for the Inspection of Aboveground Storage Tanks” was conducted for Tank Facility No. T3652 (locally identified as the Tank 1) on November 15, 2015. This inspection is in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations, as well as the facility’s SPCC Plan.

Tank Facility T3652 is a 10'-6" diameter, 15'-6" long horizontal tank, UL Listed as a “Closed Type Diked

Aboveground Tank for Flammable Liquids”. The tank has a nominal storage capacity of 10,000 gallons of

Jet fuel (F-24). The tank fabrication date is 1994 (per Facility Personnel), manufactured by Buffalo Tank

Corporation. Because this tank has spill control and a continuous release detection method, it is classified as a Category ‘1’ Tank. Details of tank construction and appurtenances are included in Section

‘B’.

The tank was found to be fully serviceable, with no mandatory repairs noted. However, several items were observed that are not in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local codes and regulations or military criteria. The noted deficiencies are included in more detail in Section ‘C’ along with recommended repairs and rough order of magnitude costs.

It is recommended that the tank owner’s inspector perform periodic inspections of this tank using the

STI monthly and annual checklists, which are included in Appendix ‘2’ of this report. As this tank is classified as Category ‘1’, STI recommends that the next formal external inspection of this tank be performed by a certified STI SP001 inspector before December 2035. This inspection interval will meet all the applicable requirements for federal, state, and local regulations.

Tank Construction and Appurtenances page 4

B. Tank Construction and Appurtenances

1. Tank Construction

The fabrication date of this tank is 1994 (per Facility Personnel), manufactured by Buffalo Tank

Corporation. UL Nameplate was present, but only partially readable. The Tank is UL listed as an

"Closed Type Diked Aboveground Storage Tank for Flammable Liquids". The tank is single wall, carbon steel constructed of three 0.25-inch thick butt-welded shell courses with 0.281-inch thick flat heads butt-welded to the shell. No dents, distortion or mechanical damage was observed. No coating failure or areas of corrosion were noted, but the tank top is covered with dust, light debris and algae. The primary tank measures 10'-6" diameter by 15'-6" long and has a nominal capacity of

10,000 gallons.

2. Tank Supports and Foundation

The tank is supported by steel saddles that bear down on the integral steel containment floor. The skid mounted tank and containment system rests on a concrete tank pad. The condition of the steel tank saddles were not able to be evaluated, as the interior of the integral containment area was not accessible. Concrete tank pad was found to be in good condition.

3. Secondary Containment

Secondary containment is provided by an integral steel containment dike measuring 20'-8" long, 12'-0" wide and 6'-0" tall offering a total capacity of approximately 11,100 gallons. The integral containment system includes an overflow channel from a 24-inch tank-top manhole. Containment dike release is controlled by a series of two ball valves, one of which has the operating handle removed. Containment area features a monitoring hatch to allow visual inspection. The containment dike capacity is in compliance with all applicable regulations and is in generally good condition. No liquid or debris was noted within the containment area when inspected through the monitoring hatch.

4. Tank Coating System

The exterior coating is of unknown type and found to be in fair condition with no areas of coating failure noted. The tank has been provided with some basic labeling but is missing the tank number, facility number, and capacity. The tank top is covered with dust, light debris and algae. The status of the interior coating of the tank is unknown.

Tank Construction and Appurtenances page 5

5. Tank Appurtenances

a. Venting

This tank features a 3-inch updraft style open normal vent of unknown manufacturer. The venting capacity is in compliance with all applicable codes. The normal vent is in good condition and free of obstructions. The tank also features an 8-inch Morrison Brothers Fig 244 emergency vent with a capacity of 453,300 cfh. The emergency venting capacity is adequate for this tank per the requirements of STI SP-001. The emergency vent was found to be fully operable.

b. Gauging

The tank has a 4-inch Veeder Root ATG probe that monitors product and water level. The associated control module and alarm are mounted on a nearby control rack. There is an independent high level alarm probe. The tank also has a clock-style mechanical gauge located on the front head of the tank. The probe was not accessible for inspection, but the gauge appeared to be working properly. The reading was consistent with that of the ATG.

c. Stairs and Platforms

A vertical, painted steel ladder and platform at the rear head of the tank provides access to the top of the tank. Ladder and platform were found to be in fair condition with no signs of coating failure noted.

d. Grounding and Bonding

There is a lug with a grounding cable connected to the integral steel dike that terminates in the ground just off of the concrete tank pad.

e. Other Appurtenances

The tank has a 4-inch manual gauging hatch for sampling and manual gauging, a 24-inch access manhole, 24-inch overflow manhole, and a 4-inch receipt nozzle. A 4-inch issue nozzle and 1-inch water draw-off nozzle are located on the front head of the tank.

6. Tank Piping System

Fuel is received and issued through 4-inch butt-welded carbon steel piping that transitions to stainless steel after leaving the containment dike. Fuel is received from the truck off-loading station and is issued to a refueler fillstand. Carbon steel piping was found to be in fair condition, but was covered with dust, light debris and algae. Stainless steel piping was in good condition.

7. Fire Protection Systems:

There is no fire protection system required or present on this storage tank. Two fire hydrants were noted within 300 feet of this tank.

Findings and Recommendations page 7

C. Findings and Recommendations

Tank Facility T3652 was found to be in generally fair condition. The tank is fully serviceable, with no mandatory deficiencies noted that require immediate repair. There were several items observed, however, that are not in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations or military criteria.

These noted deficiencies are listed below, with repair recommendations and order of magnitude repair cost estimates. For basis of the cost estimate, it is assumed that the repairs will be completed by local action such as the Reoccurring Maintenance and Minor Repair program.

1. Mandatory Repairs

Mandatory repairs represent items that require immediate attention, in order to prevent imminent risk to system operators, equipment integrity, or the adjacent environment. If these repairs cannot be completed within a two month period, the tank should be removed from service until the repairs are completed. There are no Mandatory Repairs currently required for this tank.

2. Recommended Repairs

Recommended repairs represent items that should be addressed in a timely manner in order to prevent future potential risks to system operators, equipment integrity, or the adjacent environment. These items may be required by federal, state and local codes or by military criteria.

The total Cost of Recommended Repairs for this tank is $18,500

a. Access Platform

The existing platform provides access to the tank top, but does not provide access to the majority of tank appurtenances. A full length galvanized steel platform with guardrails should be provided to allow personnel safe access to all tank top appurtenances.

Estimated Cost: $14,000

b. Tank Exterior

The tank exterior coating system was found to be in generally fair condition, but algae, dust, and light debris was noted on the tank. The tank should be cleaned and a biocide used to prevent future algae growth. Labels should be provided for the Tank Number, Real Property

Number, and capacity.

Estimated Cost: $3,000

Findings and Recommendations page 8

c. Level Alarm System

This tank is equipped with a Veeder Root TLS 350 ATG System. This system is currently used only to indicate product and water levels within the tank. An independent level alarm system provides a single high level alarm point, but UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1 item (I) requires a high, high-high, low, and low-low alarm point for this tank. The three additional alarm points (high-high, low, and low-low) should be programmed into the ATG system by a qualified SPAWAR

Contractor in order to meet the requirements of the UFC.

Estimated Cost: $1,500

3. Other Noted Tank Items

Other Noted Items represent minor non-critical deficiencies that are not recommended for repair due to a prohibitive cost to benefit ratio or other reasons. If these repairs are deemed necessary by the stakeholders, replacing the tank should be considered.

a. Access Manholes

UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1.a requires all tanks of this configuration over 5,000 gallons to have two 36-inch access manholes. One of these manholes is required to include an internal ladder.

This repair is not recommended as the benefit of providing the new manholes and internal ladder does not justify the cost of the repair. The existing 24-inch manhole appears to be adequate for the Activity’s operational needs.

b. Overfill Protection

UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1, Item ‘x’, requires tank receipt piping to have a hydraulically operated diaphragm control valve to prevent overfilling of the tank. This tank does not have such a valve. This repair is not recommended, as the benefit of providing the new valve and associated float pilot does not justify the cost of the repair. The high level alarm (in conjunction with fully manned off-loading operations) appears to be adequate for the

Activity’s operational needs.

c. Water Draw-Off Connection

UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1.a requires all tanks of this configuration to have a 2-inch water draw-off connection with a double block-and-bleed valve for isolation. This repair is not recommended as the benefit of providing the larger water drain line with a double block-and-bleed valve does not justify the cost. The existing 1-inch drain line with ball valve appears to be adequate for the Activity’s operational needs.

4. Recommended Site Upgrades

Site Upgrades are recommended upgrades to the site, which would still need to be addressed even if the tank were repaired or replaced. These items may be required by federal, state and local codes or by military criteria. There are no Recommended Site Upgrades currently recommended for this tank.

Tanks Inspected (ID #’s):

Inspection Guidance:

For equipment not included in this Standard, follow the manufacturer recommended inspection/testing schedules and procedures.

The periodic AST Inspection is intended for monitoring the external AST condition and its containment structure. This visual inspection does not require a Certified

Inspector. It shall be performed by an owner’s inspector who is familiar with the site and can identify changes and developing problems.

Upon discovery of water in the primary tank, secondary containment area, interstice, or spill container, remove promptly or take other corrective action. Before discharge to the environment, inspect the liquid for regulated products or other contaminants and disposed of it properly.

(*) designates an item in a non-conformance status. This indicates that action is required to address a problem.

Non-conforming items important to tank or containment integrity require evaluation by an engineer experienced in AST design, a Certified Inspector, or a tank manufacturer who will determine the corrective action. Note the non-conformance and corresponding corrective action in the comment section.

Retain the completed checklists for 36 months.

In the event of severe weather (snow, ice, wind storms) or maintenance (such as painting) that could affect the operation of critical components

(normal and emergency vents, valves), an inspection of these components is required as soon as the equipment is safely accessible after the event.

STI SP001 Annual Inspection Checklist

General Inspection Information:

Inspection Date: Retain Until Date: (36 months from inspection date)

Prior Inspection Date: Inspector Name:

Tanks Inspected (ID #’s):

Inspection Guidance:

For equipment not included in this Standard, follow the manufacturer recommended inspection/testing schedules and procedures.

The periodic AST Inspection is intended for monitoring the external AST condition and its containment structure. This visual inspection does not require a Certified

Inspector. It shall be performed by an owner’s inspector who is familiar with the site and can identify changes and developing problems.

Remove promptly upon discovery standing water or liquid in the primary tank, secondary containment area, interstice, or spill container. Before discharge to the environment, inspect the liquid for regulated products or other contaminants and disposed of it properly.

In order to comply with EPA SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure) rules, a facility must regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper operation (40 CFR 112.8(c)(8)(v)).

(*) designates an item in a non-conformance status. This indicates that action is required to address a problem.

Non-conforming items important to tank or containment integrity require evaluation by an engineer experienced in AST design, a Certified Inspector, or a tank manufacturer who will determine the corrective action. Note the non-conformance and corresponding corrective action in the comment section.

Retain the completed checklists for 36 months.

Complete this checklist on an annual basis supplemental to the owner monthly-performed inspection checklists.

Note: If a change has occurred to the tank system or containment that may affect the SPCC plan, the condition should be evaluated against the current plan requirement by a Professional Engineer knowledgeable in SPCC development and implementation.
