Note that when the tank is placed back in service it is once <br /> again regulated by the Environmental Health Department(EHD) under APSA. <br /> Put the tank into permanent closure by doing the following: <br /> 1. Remove all liquid and sludge from the tank and connecting lines. Removing all of the fuel and sludge will <br /> probably require rinsing of the tank. Dispose of this hazardous waste (HW) by using a hazardous waste <br /> hauler. Send a copy of the HW manifest to the EHD to show proper cleaning of the tank and handling of <br /> the waste. <br /> 2. All connecting lines and piping must be disconnected from the tank and blanked off, all valves(except for ventilation <br /> valves)must be closed and locked, and conspicuous signs must be posted on each tank stating that it is a <br /> permanently closed container and noting the date of closure. The signs should state"permanently closed tank and <br /> the date of closure. <br /> 3. Notify the local fire department of the tank closure for any additional requirements. <br /> 4. After the closure is finished, send a copy of the HW manifest to the EHD. Also send a written statement to the EHD <br /> explaining that the closure is complete. Explain what was done to close the tank. Photographs can be included but <br /> are not mandatory. <br /> 5. The EHD will inactivate the tank once this information is received and reviewed. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Garrett Backus <br /> Senior Registered Environmental Health Specialist <br /> San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department <br /> 600 E Main Street,Stockton CA 95202-3029 <br /> telephone:(209)468-2986 <br /> fax:(209)468-3433 <br /> email:gbackus a&icehd.com <br /> bitp://www.sir,ov.oreehd/Prooms/Others/unified-him <br /> 2/10/2012 <br />
