GENERAL SUMMARY

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

No. W9128F-12-D-0006 Delivery Order 0021 to perform SPCC Mandated AST/UST Inspections at various locations listed as FY16 AST Group #5. As required by this task, Brockenbrough executed a tank inspection site visit to

MacDill Air Force Base located in Tampa, Florida. An API 653 In-service (visual external) Inspection was conducted for Facility No. RU105-02, locally known as Tank 2, on November 29, 2016. This inspection was performed in accordance with API Standard 653, “Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction,” and the referenced contract. All observations made during this in-service (visual external) inspection were made from the exterior of the tank.

FAC RU105-02 is a 63-foot diameter by 51-foot and 3-inch tall, single wall, vertical, field erected tank with a nominal storage capacity of 25,000 barrels of jet fuel (F-24). The tank has an aluminum internal floating pan. The manufacturer’s data plate indicates the tank was erected in 2002. An out-of-service (internal) inspection was performed in 2011 and repairs were performed in 2013. The 2013 repair completion report indicates the repairs included: replacing the liner, sand and CP anodes under the tank bottom; replacing the floating pan perimeter seals; and replacing several hundred feet of dike area seals. The 2013 repair completion report indicates the repairs also included, providing a leak detection well, a patch plate on the tank bottom, a water bottom sensor well over the tank bottom sump, a shell mounted level alarm chamber with low and low-low level alarms, roof scaffold cable supports, external coating repairs, and other miscellaneous repairs. The leak detection well and cathodic protection were verified during this inspection.

Secondary containment is provided by a concrete covered earthen berm and dike basin. Details of tank construction and appurtenances are included in the Tank Information Table on page 6 and in Section ‘B’.

There are no Mandatory Repairs noted that need immediate attention. Additional noted deficiencies are discussed in more detail in Section ‘C’, and should be addressed in a timely manner. Photographs of the tank are included in

Appendix ‘C’.

The next API Standard 653 In-Service (visual external) Inspection should be performed by November 2021. The next ultrasonic thickness inspection of the shell should be performed by December 2026. While the current UFC 3-

460-03 requires out-of-service inspection to occur every 10 years of service, an upcoming revision allows the frequency to be extended as determined by a certified API 653 tank inspector. The 2011 API 653 Out-of-service

(internal) Inspection report recommended that the next API Standard 653 Out-of-service (internal and external)

Inspection be performed by December 2021. This inspection should include an examination of the tank bottom by magnetic flux leakage (MFL or MFE) technology, and a thorough code compliance evaluation.

135R Stratotanker aircraft.

3. Future Projects

Facility personnel indicated, there are no future projects affecting the tank.

B. TANK INSPECTION COMMENTS

1. Tank Construction

Tank RU105-02 is a nominal 25,000 bbl, 63-foot diameter by 51-foot and 3-inch tall, Jet Fuel (F-24) aboveground vertical storage tank. The tank erector’s nameplate indicates the tank was originally constructed by Baker Tank Company in 2002. The standard of construction is not readable on the nameplate but is assumed to be API 650 10th Edition. As-built drawings of the original construction indicate the tank was built with a cone down bottom, aluminum honeycomb internal floating pan, and a center bottom sump. A 2013 repair completion report indicates repairs included: replacing the liner, sand and CP anodes under the tank bottom; replacing the floating pan perimeter seals; and replacing several hundred feet of dike area seals. The 2013 repair completion report indicates the repairs also included, providing a leak detection well, a patch plate on the tank bottom, a water bottom sensor well over the tank bottom sump, a shell mounted level alarm chamber with low and low-low level alarms, roof scaffold cable supports, external coating repairs, and other miscellaneous repairs. The leak detection well and cathodic protection were verified during this inspection.

2. Tank Foundation

The tank rests on a 12-inch high concrete ringwall foundation. The foundation was visually evaluated during the inspection for broken concrete, spalling, cracks, and vegetation against the bottom of the tank. Other than a few unsealed cracks, no problems were noted with the foundation. A shell settlement survey was performed during the inspection in accordance with Appendix B of API Standard

653. The shell settlement evaluation indicates the settlement of the bottom of the shell and perimeter of the tank bottom is acceptable.

3. Tank Shell

The vertical and cylindrical shell consists of seven butt-welded courses. The exterior of the shell was visually inspected and evaluated for plumbness, roundness, peaking and banding. The shape of the shell appears to be within the allowable tolerances of API Standard 653. The coating was evaluated for deterioration. The ultrasonic thickness measurements of the shell and calculations included in

Appendix A indicate the shell has more than 30 years of remaining life. The interior and exterior of the shell are coated and the exterior of the shell shows no sign of significant deterioration. As the tank is used to store oil, deterioration of the interior of the shell since the previous inspection was performed is extremely unlikely. API 653 recommends ultrasonic thickness measurements of the shell be taken at least every 15 years.

4. Tank Appurtenances

a. Tank Roof

The tank’s steel, lap welded cone roof has isolated areas of coating failure and minor corrosion. The six perimeter vent/inspection hatches are inoperable due to water ponding on the roof plate at the hinges, excessive paint on the hinges, and heavy corrosion of the hinges. A guardrail with a 3-inch steel angle top-rail extends all around the perimeter of the lap-welded cone-up roof.

b. Venting

The screen on the roof center vent cover has only 1/8-inch openings. API 650 requires the vent screen to have 1/2-inch openings.

c. Gauging

The tank’s servo level ATG is manufactured by Enraf, and is installed through an 8-inch full-length slotted gauge well. A Vito water sensor probe is also installed in the servo level ATG well. A 6-inch well recently installed over the tank bottom sump for the Vito water sensor probe is unused.

Manual gauging may be performed through an 8-inch gauge hatch over the aluminum ladder gauge well. The tank also has a Varec tape level gauge (autogauge); however, the gauge is in need of adjustment and is connected directly to the pan contrary to the gauge manufacturer’s installation instructions.

d. Level Alarms

The tank has shell mounted high, high-high, low, and low-low level alarms. The low-low level alarm is at approximately the 2'-3" level. The as-built drawings indicate the top of the issue nozzle internal flanges is at the 2'-10" level. The low level of the floating pan should be higher than the top of the internal flanges. Per the AST Standard AW 78-24-27, the low-low level alarm should actuate, when issuing fuel, one minute before the pan touches down in the low leg position. The low-low level alarm is too low. There is corrosion on the high level alarm conduit.

e. Stairs and Platforms

The tank’s steel cone roof is accessible by a circumferential stairway mounted on the shell of the tank. The circumferential stairway step rise is generally 8 and 1/2 inches. OSHA requires the rise to be consistent. However, the bottom circumferential stairway step is approximately 17 inches above the dike basin. Previous modifications attempted to address the gap between the dike basin and the bottom step by installing an 8-inch high step on the dike basin below the bottom step.

However, the resulting rise between the dike basin mounted step and the stairway bottom step is 9 inches and is also contrary to OSHA.

f. Grounding and Bonding

There are eight grounding cables connected to ground lugs welded to the tank shell.

5. Tank Coating

The interior appears to be 100% coated. There is mold and algae growing on the shell and the roof, corrosion on the tank bottom external extension at the CP connections, and isolated coating failure and corrosion on the roof plates. There is coating failure and corrosion on the stairway treads, the stairway top platform frame, and the tank isolation valves. There is also corrosion on the high level alarm conduit.

6. Tank Piping System

Fuel is received into the tank from a commercial pipeline through the filter/pumphouse and issued from the tanks through the filter/pumphouse to truck fillstands and to a hydrant system.

7. Fire Protection System

There are four fire hydrants within 300 feet of this tank.

8. Secondary Containment

The tank sits within a concrete secondary containment with concrete covered earthen berms. The secondary containment has a locked drain valve for drainage. A swale in the secondary containment floor provides drainage away from the tank for a distance of 15 to 25 feet from the tank. NFPA 30 paragraph 22.11.2.1 requires the dike basin to be sloped away from the tank for a distance of 50 feet or to the dike wall, whichever is less. The piping runs over and along the swale. NFPA 30 paragraph

22.12.2.1 requires the dike basin to also be sloped away from the piping for a distance of 50 feet. The secondary containment was visually evaluated during the inspection. The volume of the secondary containment is sufficient to hold the contents of the tank full to the bottom of the overflow as required by NFPA 30 plus approximately one foot of freeboard as required by UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 8-14.2.1.

There are isolated but numerous holes in the secondary containment seals. However, the as-built construction drawings show a 60 mil liner under the concrete.

C. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Tank Facility RU105-02 was found to be in generally fair condition. The tank is fully serviceable, with no mandatory deficiencies that would require immediate removal of the tank from service. However, there were several items observed, that are not in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations or military criteria.

1. MANDATORY REPAIRS per API 653, UFC 3-460-01, or AW 78-24-27 Standards

Mandatory repairs represent items that require immediate attention in order to prevent imminent risk to system operators, equipment, or the adjacent environment. The tank would have to be taken out-of-service to complete these repairs. No Mandatory Repairs are required to be performed.

2. SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS per API 653, UFC 3-460-01, or AW 78-24-27 Standards

The following information identifies the significant findings found during the tank inspection, and includes 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.

a. Remove Mold and Algae Estimated Cost: $10,000

OBSERVATION: There is mold and algae growing on the roof, shell, and appurtenances. The mold and algae may cause degradation of the exterior coating.

CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 8-3.10 requires the exterior to be coated.

RECOMMENDATION: Power wash the exterior of the tank and apply an algae and mold/algae inhibitor on a regular basis.

b. Repair the Tape Level Gauge System Estimated Cost: $5,000

OBSERVATION: The tape level gauge is off by approximately 4 inches. The gauge head is mounted at the 6-foot elevation above the walking surface. The tape is attached directly to the pan.

CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1, Item o, requires a liquid level gauge mounted at 5 feet above grade. The manufacturer’s installation instructions require the tape to be attached to a float or to a weight resting on top of the pan, as attaching the tap directly to the pan may result in damage to the tape and/or gauge head.

RECOMMENDATION: Repair and adjust the tape level gauge system. Ensure the tape is attached to a weight resting on top of the pan as recommended by the manufacturer and not directly to the pan.

c. Replace Roof Perimeter Vent/ Inspection Hatches Estimated Cost: $75,000

OBSERVATION The six roof perimeter vent/inspection hatches are inoperable due to painted/corroded hinges. Water ponding on the roof plate at the hatches has promoted corrosion.

The frames of the roof openings are heavily corroded. The roof penetrations are not reinforced.

CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1, Item h requires inspection hatches on tanks with floating pans. DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27 requires roof perimeter vent/inspection hatches and hinges made of stainless steel and carbon steel roof penetration reinforcing plates.

RECOMMENDATION: Replace the six perimeter vent/inspection hatches, their penetration frames, and their hinges with stainless steel hatches, frames and hinges. Provide reinforcing plates on the roof penetrations for the perimeter vent/inspection hatches.

Varec

d. Provide Additional Roof Support and Replace the Roof Estimated Cost: $200,000

OBSERVATION: OBSERVATION: The roof support rafters are spaced approximately 24 feet apart. As a result, there is excessive water ponding around the perimeter of the roof, coating failure, and corrosion.

CODE REFERENCE: As early as 1996, API 650 required the rafter spacing at the perimeter of the tank roof to be no greater than 75 inches apart. Later editions of API 650, paragraph 5.10.4.4 increased the maximum allowable spacing to 84 inches.

RECOMMENDATION: Provide additional support for the perimeter roof plates, replace the roof plates, and roof appurtenances. Provide internal and external coatings for the repairs.

e. Replace the Roof Center Vent Screen Estimated Cost: $500

OBSERVATION The screen on the roof center vent has 1/8 inch openings.

CODE REFERENCE: API 650 paragraph H-5.2.2 requires vent screens with 1/2-inch openings. DoD

Standard Design AW 78-24-27 requires the screen to be corrosion resistant.

RECOMMENDATION: Replace the existing roof center vent screen with a corrosion resistant screen having 1/2-inch openings.

f. Seal the Cracks in the Ringwall Estimated Cost: $5,000

OBSERVATION: There are numerous hairline cracks in the concrete foundation ringwall. The intrusion of water into the cracks could result in deterioration of the steel reinforcing bars, widening of the cracks, and spalling of the concrete due to expansion of freezing water.

CODE REFERENCE: DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27 requires tanks to be properly supported on a steel reinforced concrete ringwall.

RECOMMENDATION: Seal the cracks in the concrete ringwall foundation.

g. Repair the Tank Bottom to Foundation Seal Estimated Cost: $100

OBSERVATION: There are isolated holes in the tank bottom to foundation seal.

CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-03 paragraph 8-4.10 B, requires the seal to be maintained in good working order to prevent corrosion of the underside of the tank bottom.

RECOMMENDATION: Repair the tank bottom-to-foundation seal to eliminate the isolated holes in the seal.

h. Repair External Coatings Estimated Cost: $35,000

OBSERVATION: There is coating failure and corrosion on the tank isolation valves, TRV nozzles, circumferential stairway treads, stairway top platform frame, and on the high level alarm conduit.

There is isolated coating failure and corrosion on the tank bottom extension at the CP connections.

There is isolated coating failure with minor corrosion pitting on the roof plates.

CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 8-3.10 requires the exterior to be coated.

RECOMMENDATION: Repair the coating on the exterior of the tank roof. Repair the coatings on tank isolation valves, the tank bottom extension, the circumferential stairway top platform frame, and on the high level alarm conduit.

i. Modify Bottom Stairway Steps Estimated Cost: $5,000

OBSERVATION: The circumferential stairway step rise is generally 8 1/2 inches. However, the bottom circumferential stairway step is approximately 17 inches above the dike basin. Previous modifications attempted to address the gap between the dike basin and the bottom step by installing an 8-inch high step on the dike basin below the bottom step. However, the resulting rise between the dike basin mounted step and the stairway bottom step is 9 inches.

CODE REFERENCE: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.24 (f) requires the rise of stairway steps to be uniform throughout its entire length, including at its foundation.

RECOMMENDATION: Replace the dike basin mounted step with a landing 8 ½ inches below the bottom shell mounted stairway step.

j. Replace the Level Control Valve Estimated Cost: $20,000

OBSERVATION: The 8-inch level control valve is marked “AL” by the manufacturer to indicate it is made of aluminum.

CODE REFERENCE: NFPA 30 paragraph 27.4.3 does not allow valves made of low melting point materials. UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 3-6.7 prohibits the use of aluminum valves.

RECOMMENDATION: Replace the 8-inch aluminum level control valve with a steel level control valve.

“AL”

“AL”

k. Modify Receipt Piping Estimated Cost: $10,000

OBSERVATION: There is no isolation valve adjacent to and upstream of the 8-inch level control valve to allow maintenance of the control valve. In addition, the existing ball joints do not appear to be required to address seismic activity, tank settlement, or thermal expansion of the piping.

CODE REFERENCE: DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-26 and UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 3-3.1.2 require an isolation valve upstream of a diaphragm control valve.

RECOMMENDATION: Provide an isolation ball valve upstream and adjacent to the level control valve.

Modify the thermal relief piping to protect the piping upstream of the new ball valve. Consideration should also be given to replacing the ball joints on the receipt line with a piping configuration that allows installation of the isolation valve.

l. Modify Thermal Relief Piping Estimated Cost: $5,000

OBSERVATION: The thermal relief piping does not have testing tees, and includes sight flow indicators.

REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 9-3.5 requires TRV piping around piping isolation valves.

UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 9-3.5.1 does not allow site flow indicators on thermal relief valve piping.

UFC 3-460-03, 6-6.3.1 requires TRV testing be performed annually. DoD Standard Design AW 78-

24-27 requires testing tees on thermal relief piping.

RECOMMENDATION: Modify the thermal relief piping around the piping isolation valves to eliminate the site flow indicators and provide testing tees for testing the thermal relief valves.

m. Demolish Abandoned Low Level Alarm Estimated Cost: $5,000

OBSERVATION: The 2013 repair completion report indicates the repairs provided a shell mounted level alarm chamber with low and low-low level alarms. The single low level alarm and chamber was abandoned and is now a source of deterioration.

CODE REFERENCE: DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27 and UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1, Item l, requires tanks with floating pans to have both low and low-low level alarms independent of the tank gauging system.

RECOMMENDATION: Demolish the abandoned low level alarm, conduit, and supports.

n. Relocate Low Level Alarm Estimated Cost: $5,000

OBSERVATION: The low-low level alarm level is below the top of the issue nozzle internal flange and the low leg level of the floating pan. The low level alarm also appears to be located too low. For demonstration purposes, the height of the eight-foot lower shell course is shown at similar scale in the photographs below, to allow easy comparison.

CODE REFERENCE: DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27 requires a low level alarm 6 minutes above the low leg level of the floating pan. UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1, Item l, requires tanks with floating pans to have both low and low-low level alarms independent of the tank gauging system.

RECOMMENDATION: Provide low and low-low level alarms independent of the ATG at the levels indicated by DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27.

o. Provide Low Suction System Estimated Cost: $15,000

OBSERVATION: The 4-inch tank drain is not located next to or hard piped to the main issue piping but is located next to the receipt nozzle. To prepare the tank for cleaning, Base personnel must run a 4-inch hose a quarter of the way around the tank to connect the low suction to the main suction.

CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01, Table 8-1, Item v, requires tanks to be equipped with a main suction and a low suction per DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27. DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-

27 indicates a low suction system next to and hard piped to the issue piping.

RECOMMENDATION: Relocate the low suction nozzle and internal piping to near the issue piping and pipe the low suction to the issue piping per DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27. It may be advisable to also relocate the product saver tank, nozzle and internal piping similarly to simplify access to the interior for inspection and maintenance, as indicated in the DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27.

p. Relocate Manufacturers Data Plate Estimated Cost: $1,000

OBSERVATION: The manufacturer’s data plate is located behind a davit for a shell manhole cover, and is not fully readable with the manhole cover closed.

CODE REFERENCE: API 650 paragraph 10.1 requires the tank be identified by a nameplate indicating the manufacturer, date of completion, and other information.

RECOMMENDATION: Relocate the tank manufacturer’s nameplate to a location on the shell manhole reinforcing plate that is more accessible for examination.

a. Apply an Algaecide on a Regular Basis

OBSERVATION: There is mold and algae growing on the roof, shell, and appurtenances. The mold and algae may cause degradation of the exterior coating.

CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 paragraph 8-3.10 requires the exterior of fuel storage tanks to be coated.

RECOMMENDATION: Power washing of the exterior of the tank and applying an algae and mold/algae inhibitor of the exterior of the tank is included in the Significant Findings section. However, application of an algae and mold/algae inhibitor of the exterior of the tank should be repeated on a regular basis.

4. REPAIRS to Fully Comply with API 653, UFC 3-460-01, or AW 78-24-27 Standards

These items represent repairs and/or upgrades that could be performed to bring the tank into full compliance with current standards, but that do not represent potential risks to system operators, equipment integrity, or the adjacent environment. Our recommendations to perform, or not to perform these repairs and/or upgrades, take into consideration the cost of the repair, the operational benefit of the repairs, the age of the tank/system, operator safety, environmental risks, and equipment integrity.

a. Reseal the Secondary Containment

OBSERVATION: There are isolated but numerous holes in the secondary containment seals.

However, the as-built construction drawings indicate a 60 mil liner under the concrete.

CODE REFERENCE: NFPA 30 paragraph 22.11.2.4 and CFR 112.7(c)(1) require dike areas to be liquid tight.

RECOMMENDATION: Repair the secondary containment expansion joint seals at the locations of the isolated holes.

b. Provide OSHA Compliant Roof Manhole

OBSERVATION: The manhole on the roof above the internal ladder does not provide 30 inches of clearance on the climbing side of the ladder. The as-built drawings do not show a deflector plate.

CODE REFERENCE: 29 CFR 1910.27 (c) requires 30-inches of clearance on the climbing side of a ladder at an access hatch, or 24 inches of clearance with a deflector plate.

RECOMMENDATION: Provide a deflector plate on the interior of the roof manhole neck in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.27 (c).

c. Replace Secondary Containment Basin with a Properly Sloped Basin

OBSERVATION: The secondary containment floor is sloped to allow for drainage away from the tank to the swale, which is located approximately half way between the tank and the dike berm. The distance of the swale from the tank varies from 15 to 25 feet from the tank. The product piping runs over the swale and the north dike drain.

CODE REFERENCE: NFPA 30, paragraph 22.11.2.1 requires the dike basin to be sloped away from the tank for a distance of 50 feet or to the dike wall, whichever is less. NFPA 30, paragraph 22.12.2.1.

requires the dike basin to be sloped away from the piping.

d. Provide Upper Shell Manhole and Lower Stairway Landing

OBSERVATION: There is no upper shell manhole or circumferential stairway landing for accessing the top of the floating pan.

CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 Table 8-1, Item c and DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27 require new storage tank designs to include an upper shell manhole and a circumferential stairway landing for accessing the top of the floating pan.

RECOMMENDATION: Provide an upper shell manhole and a circumferential stairway landing for accessing the top of the floating pan.

e. Relocate the Water Bottom Sensor Probe to Water Bottom Sensor Well

OBSERVATION: The 2013 repairs installed a separate stilling well over the tank bottom sump for the

Vito Water/Temperature Sensor Probe, but the sensor probe is still located in the ATG well, which is located near the perimeter and may potentially interfere with the operation of the ATG.

CODE REFERENCE: UFC 3-460-01 Table 8-1, Item s and DoD Standard Design AW 78-24-27 require new storage tank designs to include an 8-inch flanged roof nozzle with a 6-inch (150 mm) aluminum, fully slotted, stilling well for a temperature and water bottom sensor, as close as possible to or in, the tank sump.

RECOMMENDATION: Relocate and reinstall the Vito Water/Temperature Sensor Probe in the 6-inch

(150 mm) aluminum, fully slotted, stilling well, which was provided for that purpose in 2013.

Isolated coating failure and corrosion with minor pitting.

Several areas of standing water around edge of roof. Water ponding at inspection hatches has resulted in severe corrosion of hinges.

Hatches are painted shut and hinges are severly corroded. Hatches are inoperable.

ITEM TASK

C.1.4.1 Deck Plate Internal

Corrosion

For safety, before accessing the roof, check with ultrasonic instrument or lightly use a ball peen hammer to test the deck plate near the edge of the roof for thinning.

(Corrosion normally attacks the deck plate at the edge of a fixed roof and at the rafters in the center of the roof first.)

C.1.4 Roofs

C.1.4.2 Deck Plate External

Corrosion

C.1.4.5 Gas Test Internal Floating

Roof

Test for explosive gas on top of the internal floating roof, Readings could indicate a leaking roof, leaking seal system, or inadequate ventilation of the area above the internal floating roof.

Look for indication of standing water.

(Significant sagging of fixed roof deck indicates potential rafter failure.

Large standing water areas on a floating roof indicate inadequate drainage design or, if to one side, a nonlevel roof with possible leaking pontoons.)

STATUS

Visually inspect for paint failure, holes, pitting, and corrosion product on the roof deck.

C.1.4.4 Level of Floating Roof At several locations, measure distance from roof rim to a horizontal weld seam above the roof. A variance in the readings indicates a nonlevel roof with possible shell out-of-round, out-of-plumb, leaking pontoons, or hang-up. On small diameter tanks, an unlevel condition can indicate unequal loading at that level.
