About this file

This document is an Aboveground Storage Tank SP001 Inspection Report for Gasoline Tank 1 located at the Caven Point Marine Terminal in Jersey City, New Jersey. The inspection was performed by TSP Tank Services on February 27, 2024, for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District. The 1,000-gallon rectangular carbon steel tank, constructed in 2005, is double-walled with interstitial monitoring and was inspected by Robert Sherby, a certified API-653 and SP001 inspector, and overseen by Ronald E. Swan, Jr., a Professional Engineer.

The inspection revealed a few minor variances: the tank lacks a normal/working pressure/vacuum vent (which is recommended for installation), has a faded capacity label on the west side of the shell, and shows cracking in the secondary containment floor near a piping sump. Despite these issues, the tank was deemed suitable for its intended service. The recommended repairs include installing a 3-inch pressure/vacuum vent, replacing the capacity label, and repairing the secondary containment floor cracks. The estimated repair costs range from $6,100 to $8,200. The report recommends monthly inspections by the owner's inspector and a formal external inspection by a certified inspector due by February 27, 2044.

2 – INTRODUCTION

An aboveground storage tank inspection is an engineered approach to determining the current condition of an aboveground storage tank (AST). The inspection process is designed to meet the requirements of various federal and state regulations, industry standards, and best practices. Periodic inspections performed by a certified professional provide a reference point for tank conditions, enabling owners and operators to plan and budget for maintenance and regulatory compliance activities.

Inspections are performed using a variety of techniques under the guidance of the relevant regulations and inspection standards and the professional experience of the AST Inspector.

Inspection techniques are selected to develop high quality data regarding the current condition of the tank. Techniques employed during this inspection included:

• Visual Inspection – A visual accounting by the AST Inspector of the condition of the tank. Visual inspection by an experienced professional can identify many variances and provide guidance for the remainder of the inspection effort.

Each of the inspection techniques are performed by individuals trained and experienced in their use. Our testing staff have been certified to at least Level 1 of the SNT-TC-1A standard published by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing in each of the testing methods described above.

4 – OBSERVATIONS AND INSPECTION RESULTS

On February 27, 2024, TSP Tank Services completed an API-653 inspection of Gasoline Tank 1 located at 3 Chapel Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07305. The inspection was performed by Mr. Robert Sherby, a certified API-653 and SP001 aboveground storage tank inspector, and overseen by Mr. Ronald E. Swan, Jr., P.E., a certified API-653 aboveground storage tank inspector and registered Professional Engineer in the State of Michigan.

4.1 – Methodology

Specific work required to successfully complete this inspection included:

• Formal External Inspection per SP001 §7.0.

• Identification and verification of tank geometry and appurtenances. (Appendix A)

• Completion of the SP001 Annual Inspection Checklist. (Appendix B)

• Photographic documentation of the current tank condition. (Appendix D)

4.2 – Inspection Results

A description of the current condition of the tank has been developed based on data collected during the inspection effort. Specific observations are shown in the sections below.

4.2.1 – Foundations and Supports

The tank rests on a support frame set atop a poured concrete foundation. Visual inspection did not reveal any variances from SP001 requirements.

4.2.2 – Secondary Containment, Spill Control, and CRDM

The tank is double walled with secondary containment and spill control provided by the outer shell. The tank is also in a poured concrete containment. CRDM is provided by the interstitial monitor installed between the inner and outer shells and the elevated nature of the tank.

• Cracking was observed in secondary containment floor near a piping sump that is separate from the tank.

4.2.3 – Shell

Visual inspection of the tank shell found the following conditions:

• Capacity label on west side of shell faded from sun exposure.

4.2.4 – Roof

Visual inspection of the tank roof did not reveal any variances from SP001 requirements.

4.2.5 – Ancillary Equipment

Visual observation of the installed equipment did not reveal any variances relative to SP001 requirements. The tank does not have a dedicated normal/working vent installed.

5 – VARIANCE ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on visual observations and data collected during the inspection, TSP has identified variances which may require additional investigation or repair. An analysis of variances, including their severity, is provided below.

Repairs may be completed by any method that conforms to SP001 and SP031. Repair recommendations, if provided, are based on prior experience with similar conditions, but are not an engineering design. TSP shall have no liability regarding the methods selected to correct variances or regarding variances which are not corrected.

5.1 – Critical Variances (Prior to Return to Service)

Critical variances are conditions which present immediate concerns regarding tank integrity or safety. TSP strongly recommends that the tank be placed out of service until all critical variances have been repaired.

SECTION INTENTIONALLY BLANK

NO CRITICAL REPAIRS REQUIRED

5.2 – Code Variances (Mandatory for Recertification)

Code variances are conditions which place the tank out of compliance with SP001 or other regulatory requirements or which may develop into critical variances. TSP recommends that code variances be repaired as soon as possible.

5.2.1 – Install a Pressure/Vacuum Vent

An inventory of equipment installed on the tank found that the tank does not have a normal/working vent installed. Normal venting is required to ensure that the tank does not become over- or under-pressurized during filling, discharging, or changes in temperature due to weather variations. NFPA 30 §21.4.3.3 requires vents to be “sized in accordance with API Standard 2000” or that “the normal vent shall be at least as large as the largest filling or withdrawal connection.” IFC §5704.2.7.3.2 further requires “flame arresters or pressure-vacuum vents that remain closed unless venting under pressure or vacuum conditions [for] tanks containing Class IB and IC liquids.”

TSP recommends installing a pressure/vacuum vent consistent with NFPA and IFC requirements. A minimum 3-inch diameter vent is required to match the size of the fill connection. The vent should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and with fire code, with consideration of the fact that the tank is under a canopy which may act to restrict the movement of flammable vapors.

5.3 – Minor Variances

Minor variances are conditions which are within code requirements, but which the Owner may nevertheless wish to address. Based on our experience, repairing minor variances will likely yield improvement in the quality, longevity, or safety of the tank.

5.3.1 – Replace Capacity Label

The capacity label on the west side of the tank is faded from sun exposure, which has caused it to become illegible. TSP recommends removing and replacing the damaged label.

5.3.2 – Repair Cracks in Secondary Containment Floor

Cracks were observed in the secondary containment floor near a piping sump. Although the depth of the cracking is unknown, the cracks may represent a loss of containment. In addition, the observed cracking is likely to be progressive if not repaired, particularly as the facility experiences freeze/thaw cycles during the winter months. TSP recommends repairing the cracks using an appropriate crack sealant or non-shrinking grout.

6 – ESTIMATE OF REPAIR COSTS

TSP offers the following estimates of repair costs based on the repair recommendations presented in this report. These estimates are based on TSP's professional experience with tank repairs and are intended to be used for planning and budgeting purposes. Actual repair costs may be higher or lower than the estimates listed below.

Scope of Work Estimated Cost

Install a pressure/vacuum vent. $4,000 - $5,000

Replace capacity label. $100 - $200

Repair cracks in secondary containment floor. $2,000 - $3,000

Cost estimates do not include measures for interim storage / management facilities that may be required when the tank is removed from service.

7 – SUITABILITY FOR SERVICE STATEMENT

On February 27, 2024, TSP Tank Services completed an SP001 inspection of Gasoline Tank 1 located at 3 Chapel Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07305. The inspection was performed by Mr. Robert Sherby, a certified API-653 and SP001 aboveground storage tank inspector, and overseen by Mr. Ronald E. Swan, Jr., P.E., a certified API-653 aboveground storage tank inspector and registered Professional Engineer in the State of Michigan. Copies of employee qualifications to perform the work completed during this inspection are included in Appendix E.

Based on the data collected during this inspection and the criteria established by SP001, Gasoline Tank 1 is suitable for its intended service. This suitability for service determination is based on the current condition of the tank, its known history, and an understanding of its intended future use. TSP recommends that the tank be re-inspected whenever the tank is placed into service for a different use, including containment of a different product, or if there is any material change in the condition of the tank.

Owners and operators should carefully review all relevant regulations to ensure that the operation of the tank meets the established requirements, including requirements for future periodic inspections.

Inspector Signature:

Tank ID: NAN-000585-GAS-01-1000

Facility Name: Caven Point Marine Terminal

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)).

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.
