About this file

This document is an STI (Steel Tank Institute) In-Service Inspection Report for Diesel Tank 5129A located at Tooele Depot in Utah, conducted by the US Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District on July 27, 2020. The inspection evaluated the integrity of a 12,000-gallon horizontal, double-wall, UL 2085 steel tank manufactured in 1996 by Perkins Welding Works, which currently stores diesel fuel.

The comprehensive inspection identified minor issues requiring attention, including approximately 20% coating failures and the need to install facility number labeling per UFC 3-460-01 standards. The tank's infrastructure was generally found to be in good condition, with coated carbon steel supports, a concrete slab foundation, and various appurtenances such as a 36-inch manway, water draw port, high-level shutoff valve, and Ronan automatic tank gauging system. The report recommends recoating the tank to slow corrosion and adding a manual gauge, with no mandatory repairs identified. The next external inspection is recommended for July 27, 2025.

Tanks Inspected (ID #’s): Tank 5129A

Inspection Guidance:

For equipment not included in this Standard, follow the manufacturer recommended inspection/testing schedules and procedures.

The periodic AST Inspection is intended for monitoring the external AST condition and its containment structure. This visual inspection does not require a Certified Inspector. It shall be performed by an owner’s inspector who is familiar with the site and can identify changes and developing problems.

Remove promptly upon discovery standing water or liquid in the primary tank, secondary containment area, interstice, or spill container.

Before discharge to the environment, inspect the liquid for regulated products or other contaminants and disposed of it properly.

In order to comply with EPA SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure) rules, a facility must regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper operation (40 CFR 112.8(c)(8)(v)).

(*) designates an item in a non‐conformance status. This indicates that action is required to address a problem.

Non‐conforming items important to tank or containment integrity require evaluation by an engineer experienced in AST design, a Certified

Inspector, or a tank manufacturer who will determine the corrective action. Note the non‐conformance and corresponding corrective action in the comment section.

Retain the completed checklists for 36 months.

Complete this checklist on an annual basis supplemental to the owner monthly‐performed inspection checklists.

Note: If a change has occurred to the tank system or containment that may affect the SPCC plan, the condition should be evaluated against the current plan requirement by a Professional Engineer knowledgeable in SPCC development and implementation.
