GENERAL SUMMARY

Summary of Inspection

An API Standard 653 In‐Service inspection was conducted on Tank 2 (Facility 3040) at Warfield ANG, MD.

The tank was constructed in 1985 and has undergone repairs and upgrades completed in 2015 that include (2) 8‐inch aluminum stilling wells, (1) 4‐inch stilling well, and other miscellaneous repairs. The inspection was completed on March 27, 2024. The overall service life of the tank is estimated to be greater than 20 years.

Significant Findings (overview)

Mandatory None

Required Repairs

1. The weld spacing is inadequate between the reinforcement of the 30‐inch manway and the shell‐to‐bottom weld. The weld spacing is 2.25 inches. The weld spacing should be at least three inches.

2. The expansion joint seals on the containment floor are deteriorated, which may prevent containment of product as required by 40 CFR 112.

3. Minor vegetation growth is present on the containment floor, which may prevent containment of product as required by 40 CFR 112

4. The ringwall to secondary containment floor seal has approximately 70 linear feet of deteriorated sealant.

5. The joint sealant between the tank bottom and the foundation has cracked, deteriorated, and lost seal from the concrete, which may prevent containment of product as required by 40 CFR 112.

6. The secondary containment wall expansion joints are not sealed at the top of the containment wall and have deteriorated sealant. This allows water to enter the void between the wall sections and potentially corrode the rebar.

7. There is a hairline crack in the concrete pipe support pier of the second support from the tank on the issue line and a hairline crack in the pier of the second support from the tank on the receipt line.

8. The secondary containment’s pipe penetration seals are deteriorated on the 2.5‐inch AFFF line.

9. The circumferential stairway is 28‐inches wide. The stairway has a clear width of 17‐inches at the IFR manway and a clear width of 20‐inches at the AFFF line. The minimum clear width is 26‐ inches in accordance with OSHA.

10. The roof circulation vent/ inspection hatches are not equipped with a safety chain at the mid‐ rail between the perimeter guardrail posts. Both of the circulation vent/ inspection hatches have a bolted mid‐rail blocking the hatch from opening.

11. Six of the stairway tread handrail supports are welded directly on the tank shell are on the tank weld seams. This does not meet good engineering practice and current API standard.

Recommended Repairs

1. The tank center roof vent lacks a reinforcement plate per AW 78‐24‐27 Drawing D.09 Detail 2.

2. The 30‐inch manway cover in the first shell course and the floating roof manway cover on the second shell course have only one 5/8‐inch handle not two and are hinged in lieu of davit arms per AW 78‐24‐27 Drawing D.10 Detail 3. The flush deck cleanout has no handles, hinges, or davit arms.

3. The AFFF piping and foam chamber have coating failure and are painted white. The color red is designated for fire protection systems in accordance with MIL‐STD‐161G.

4. The coating on the tank shell, nozzles, chime, AFFF piping, roof handrails, and fixed roof is deteriorated and faded, with some coating holidays.

5. The tank does not have the facility number marked on the tank.

6. The tank is not equipped with an isolation valve on the upstream side of the diaphragm control valve as recommended in AW 78‐24‐27. An isolation valve on the upstream side of the automatic valve helps when conducting maintenance on the diaphragm control valve instead of having to drain the entire fuel line.

7. The tank is equipped with a 3‐inch low point drain with an anti‐freeze valve instead of a DBB valve. The anti‐freeze valve is connected to a plugged cam‐lock fitting. The low point drain is approximately 20ft from the issue line and does not tie into the issue line as recommended in

AW 78‐24‐27.

8. The product saver tank is not equipped with a ground strap.

9. The tank is equipped with one 30‐inch shell manway and a 24‐inch x 24‐inch flush deck clean out approximately 180° from the shell manway. UFC 3‐460‐01 recommends two 36‐inch manholes 180° apart.

10. The tank is equipped with 4 grounding cables equally spaced around the tank. However, the ground cables are bolted to the chime instead of the grounding lugs being attached to the shell in accordance with API‐650 Section 5.8.11.3 and Figure 2.23.

11. The Varec MTG display is faded, and the supports are welded directly to the shell. The facility uses the ENRAF electronic readout for tank levels.

12. The center vent is not configured to the criteria described in AW 78‐24‐27. The vent is equipped with a 24‐inch flanged nozzle that reduces to a 12‐inch vent. The screened vent opening is 7‐ inches in length.

13. The tank is equipped with two roof circulation vents/ inspection hatches. UFC 3‐460‐01 recommends four circulation vents/ inspection hatches equally spaced around the fixed roof.

14. The shell‐mounted thermometer reads 80 degrees F, while the outdoor temperature is 45 degrees F, and the Enraf display on the fixed roof reads 45.30 degrees F.

15. The tank is not equipped with a bolted cover in the roof for installation and removal of the internal floating pan as recommended in UFC 3‐460‐01. However, there is a 30‐inch upper shell manway to access the top of the IFR.

16. The tank is not equipped with two scaffold cable supports located near the center of the tank as recommended in accordance with UFC 3‐460‐01.

17. The tank does not have a cathodic protection system for the bottom.

18. The tank does not have a bottom leak detection system.

19. The Enraf ATG and independent level alarms have different set point heights. Typically, the independent level alarm set points are referenced off of the shell height, and the electronic ATG is referenced off the stilling well’s datum plate.

20. The 6 tank shell supports for the mechanical tape gauge including 2 unistruts for the roof lighting hardware and 5 unistruts for the Enraf conduit lack reinforcement pads per AW 78‐24‐ 27 Drawing D.07 Detail 1.

21. The 3 tank shell attachments for the AFFF line lack reinforcement pads per AW 78‐24‐27 Drawing D.07 Detail 1.

22. The 10‐inch issue line has a slip‐on flange at the DBB valve. Slip‐on flanges are not permitted on new systems per UFC 3‐460‐01 9‐8 (a). Existing systems may use slip‐on flanges only when unable to use conventional weld‐neck flanges.

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 inspection was performed for Tank 2 (Facility 3040).

2. Site Information

On March 27, 2024, InterSpec, LLC performed an API 653 In‐Service inspection of Tank 2

(Facility 3040), located at the Warfield ANG Base in Middle River, MD.

B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS

1. Tank Construction

Tank 2 is a nominal 210,000 gallon (5,000 barrel), 31’ 0” diameter by 42’ 3” tall, F‐24 Jet fuel, aboveground vertical storage tank. The tank was constructed in 1985 and has undergone repairs and upgrades in 2015 by CAPE Environmental, Inc. that included (2) 8‐inch aluminum stilling wells, (1) 4‐inch stilling well, and other miscellaneous repairs as displayed by a nameplate.

2. 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 concrete floor and concrete vertical walls. An informal containment evaluation was conducted. The containment appears 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.” The secondary containment area appears to be properly graded to drain water away from the tank in accordance with NFPA 30.

3. Tank Foundation

The tank rests on a concrete ringwall. The original construction of the tank foundation consists of a liner and oil sand. The tank does not have a cathodic protection system. The tank does not have a bottom leak detection system. The tank is equipped with eight anchor bolts equally spaced around the tank. The ringwall is coated, and a limited visual evaluation was conducted during the inspection for broken concrete, spalling, cracks, and vegetation against the bottom of the tank. Site personnel noted the surrounding area has a high water table, and water seeps into the containment from underneath the tank bottom. The tank bottom‐to‐ringwall sealant was inspected. A soft pliable blue sealant has been applied between the tank bottom and the ringwall.

4. Tank Bottom

The bottom was not evaluated.

5. Tank Shell

The shell is constructed of A‐36 carbon steel material. The shell is a cylindrical design, butt‐ welded together, consisting of six (6) courses. The shell exterior has a thin film epoxy coating system. The coating was inspected for disbonding, adhesion, deterioration, and discoloration; it is in unsatisfactory condition. The tank appears to be 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 equipped with an internal floating roof. The floating roof is an aluminum skin pan with pontoon type design.

7. Tank Fixed Roof

The fixed roof is a self‐supported cone roof constructed of A‐36 carbon steel material. The fixed roof is lap‐welded together consisting of 14 plates fillet‐welded to the shell. The roof has areas of standing water causing minor coating failure. The fixed roof has an epoxy coating system on the exterior. The coating was inspected for disbonding, adhesion, deterioration, and discoloration; it is in unsatisfactory condition.

1. Shell Service Life Evaluation

2. Shell Settlement Evaluation

Shell Service Life Evaluation

Where:

t min = minimum acceptable shell thickness for each course, in inches; however, t min shall not be less than 0.1 inch for any tank course.

t nom = nominal shell thickness, in inches.

t act = current measured shell thickness, excluding pits and corrosion, in inches.

t prev = previous measured shell thickness, excluding pits and corrosion or t nom , in inches.

D = nominal diameter of the tank, in feet.

H = height from the bottom of the shell course under considerations to the established maximum liquid level, in feet.

H c = calculated safe fill height, in feet, for the current product.

G = specific gravity of the contents.

Y = specified minimum yield strength of the plate; use 30,000 pounds per square inch if not known

(N/A for riveted tanks).

T = smaller of the specified minimum tensile strength of the plate or 80,000 pounds per square inch;

use 55,000 psi if not known (N/A for riveted tanks).

S = The maximum allowable stress, in pounds per square inch. For welded tanks, use the smaller of

0.80Y or 0.429T for the bottom and the second course or the smaller of 0.88Y or 0.472T for all other courses. For riveted tanks, use S =21,000 psi. For elevated temperatures above 200OF, the maximum allowable stress shall be the smaller of 2/3 the minimum yield strength multiplied by the M-factor (M) of API Standard 650 Appendix M or the product design stress value listed in Table M-1a or M-1b of API Standard 650.

E = original joint efficiency for the tank. Use Table 4-2 from API Standard 653 if original E is unknown; E =1.0 when evaluating the retirement thickness in a corroded plate, when away from welds or joints by at least the greater of one inch or twice the plate thickness. For riveted tanks, use E =1.0 for shell plates when greater than 6 inches from rivets; use the value of E from API Standard 653 Table 4-3 when within 6 inches of rivets.

L r = remaining life of the shell, in years.

C r = shell corrosion rate, in inches per year.

I ut = inspection interval for the next ultrasonic inspection, in years (not to exceed 15 years).

I v = inspection interval for the next visual external inspection, in years (not to exceed 5 years).

Y = years between the previous measured shell thickness (t prev ) and the current measured shell thickness (t act ), in years.

The maximum inspection intervals are determined by the most restrictive shell course in regard to the remaining life and the corrosion rate calculations for each shell course using the following formulas:

tmin =

2.6(H−1)DG
