Questions and Answers 2
- The SOW states that an STI-SP001 inspection on the underground OWS be conducted. SP001 is a license specifically for above-ground storage tank systems, and does not have anything to do with underground units. What is the purpose of this inspection?
o The purpose of the inspection is to test the integrity and ensure the OWS is operational. The OWS has not been utilized in several years and there are no previous inspection records from the previous owners.
