3.12 ABOVEGROUND AND UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS (ASTs and USTs)

A. All project designs involving any actions with ASTs or USTs shall be coordinated through the 88 ABW/CEVO Storage Tank Program Manager (937/257-2201) to ensure all tank regulatory requirements are addressed and the tank database for WPAFB is kept up-to-date.

B. All tanks must be constructed of material that is compatible with the material being stored.

C. All secondary containment areas for tank and piping systems must be constructed of material compatible with the product to be stored.

Containment areas must also be impervious and capable of holding product and preventing contamination of soil and water in the event of a spill or release.

D. All tanks must be labeled as to product stored and associated hazards. All labeling must meet applicable regulatory requirements.

E. For aboveground storage tanks, containment must be provided by either external secondary containment of sufficient capacity to hold at least 110% of the total volume of the tank system or, alternatively, the tank must have a double-wall with interstitial monitoring capability. The exception to this requirement is for ASTs holding extremely hazardous substances, such as sulfuric acid. Tanks intended to store hazardous materials, such as sulfuric acid, must have a double-wall and external secondary containment.

F. Temporary storage tanks brought onto base must also have acceptable, impervious secondary containment or a double wall. Temporary tanks must be inspected regularly and the inspection documented. Per the WPAFB Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan, accumulated storm water in secondary containment areas must be inspected for the presence of product stored prior to discharge and the inspection documented. Any amount of product present in secondary containment areas must be removed promptly and prior to discharge of any accumulated water. Oil-only absorbent pads can be used to remove small amounts (e.g., sheen) of petroleum product from accumulated storm water. Leaking tanks must be repaired without delay.

G. Dispensing of petroleum products must be accomplished over an area impervious to the product and capable of preventing direct contact of the product with soil in the event of a spill or release.

H. All tanks must have spill and overfill protection.

I. All ASTs must have a Vedder-Root automatic tank gauging system capable of monitoring product and water levels inside the tank and the interstitial space for double-wall tanks. All ASTs must have high liquid level alarms with both an audible and visual signal and high liquid level pump cutoff device to stop flow at 90% full.

J. All tanks must have a site-specific spill plan (see part 3.8, Spill Prevention, Control, and Reporting, paragraph A.)

Appendix G

K. All USTs must meet requirements outlined in Ohio Administrative Code 1301:7-9. All underground storage tanks must have double wall construction and must be equipped with a Veeder-Root automatic tank gauging system for interstitial, product level, and water level monitoring. The UST system must have a method, or combination of methods, for release detection that can detect a release from any portion of the tank and the connecting underground piping that routinely contains product. The UST system must be equipped with both a visual and audible high level alarm to prevent overfills and a high liquid level pump cutoff device to stop flow at 90% full.

L. A State of Ohio Bureau of Underground Storage Tank Regulations (BUSTR) permit is required prior to engaging in any of the following with respect to underground storage tanks: an installation, an upgrade or modification, a permanent abandonment, a permanent removal, a replacement, a repair, a change in service or a temporary closure. Contact the 88 ABW/CEV Storage Tank Program Manager (937/257-2201) for additional information regarding permits.

M. The 88 ABW/CEV Storage Tank Program Manager provides UST permitting support and submits tank permit and registration forms to the appropriate regulatory agencies. Contractors must not submit any forms to the regulatory agencies unless first authorized to do so by the 88 ABW/CEV Storage Tank Program Manager. Permits to install and registrations for USTs must be signed by the Ohio Certified Installer present during installation of the tank and submitted to 88 ABW/CEV Storage Tank Program Manager at least 30 days prior to tank installation, in the case of a permit to install. In the case of a UST registration form, the form must be submitted to the 88 ABW/CEV Storage Tank Program Manager within 5 days after the tank is put into service.
