2.3. BACKGROUND

The Environmental Operations Department maintains in-ground and above ground storage tanks.

These tanks vary in shape, size, use, and constructed material. The storage tanks hold various liquid products related to deicing. The product contained in these tanks include spent aircraft deicing fluid and mixed liquid suspended solids (sludge) from the glycol treatment process. Tank sizes range from

125,000 gallons to 3 million gallons and are taken out of service on a scheduled basis.

Due to the age and the nature of the products that are being placed into the tanks, degradation of interior concrete surfaces has occurred. Repairs and inspections have been made on these tanks since 2009. There is an on-going need to do internal and external inspections at the frequencies listed below. Based on the inspection results, repairs of the tanks may be required.

The last inspections were performed by the tank manufacturer, Crom, in 2024. These inspections were a Level 2 Tank inspection for the 2 million gallon tank and both 3 million gallon tanks. The Level

2 inspection included an internal and external inspection of the tanks. Inspection reports are attached for review as Attachments A1, A2, A3, and A4. There were several items noted with recommended https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprocurement.opengov.com%2Fportal%2Fcvgairport&data=05%7C02%7Clpurcell%40cvgairport.com%7C915de49180aa4be8bfc808dd4c6e70bc%7Ce88b51b645364ffaa129350653cdad28%7C0%7C0%7C638750759399244215%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=dfJmJP4%2FJyNShw%2F66qqftK7bU4WctyXlBbuJWjH7szY%3D&reserved=0 actions. These recommended actions will be the focus of the scope of work when the tanks are taken out of service as shown below.

Prior to the aforementioned inspection performed by the manufacturer, the balance of tanks on the table below were inspected and repaired by the current on-call tank inspection and repair company and their inspector. These reports are also attached for review as Attachments B1, B2, and B3.
