12 February 2018 AdvancedGeo <br /> AGE Project No. 11-1934 Environmental <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> life is estimated at 15 - 20 years [22CCR§ 66265.192(k)(11)]. Additional AST <br /> specifications are included as Table 2. <br /> 2.1.3. Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) Construction <br /> The AST specifications are shown on Figure 3 and is described with features, including: <br /> General shape is rectangular; <br /> • Orientation is length wise, north to south [22CCR§66265.192 (k)(1)]; <br /> • Industry standard for AST construction is A36 steel with the primary tank top, side <br /> wall, end wall and bottom measuring approximately 9/64-inch, 3/16-inch, 7/64-inch <br /> and 9/64-inch respectively. The secondary tank top, side wall, end wall and bottom <br /> measure approximately 7/64-inch in thickness [22CCR§66265.192(k)(2)(A)] as <br /> measure by measuring tape; <br /> • Though the original blue paint coat appears slightly faded, with minimal areas <br /> showing bear steel, the AST is within a precipitation free enclosure. The visible <br /> tank surface appeared in fair condition. Information on the original corrosion <br /> protection coatings were not available from the manufacturer <br /> [22CCR§66265.192(k)(5)]; and <br /> • Has not been attached to the ground. <br /> 2.1.4. AST Ancillary Equipment <br /> The AST ancillary equipment includes the audible and visual overflow mechanical reading <br /> gauge. <br /> 2.2. OVERFLOW PROTECTION <br /> The overflow protection system is comprised of the audible alarm and visual level gauge. <br /> The visual level gauge is a mechanical float indicating overflow when the AST is at 90% <br /> capacity. The AST is typically not filled past an 85% level. <br /> 2.2.1. Piping <br /> There are manually actuated pneumatic waste oil 1-inch diameter steel pipes [22CCR <br /> §66265.192(k)(2)(C&D)] used to transport fluid to the AST. The pipes are attached to the <br /> tank for ease of avoiding spills when the pneumatic system is running and are therefore <br /> not considered more than a transport mechanism from the collection point. <br />
