Tide 23, Division 3, Chapter 16, Underground Tank Regulations (d) Owners or their agents shall certify that the installation of the tanks and piping, meets the conditions in subdivision (1) through (4) below. The certification shall be made on a "Certificate of Compliance for underground Storage Tank Installation Form C" (see Appendix V), (1) The installer has met the requirements set forth in section 2715, subdivisions (g) and (h), (2) The underground storage tank, any primary piping, and any secondary containment, was installed according to applicable voluntary consensus standards and any manufacturer's written installation instructions; (3) All work listed in the manufacturer's installation checklist has been completed; and (4) The installation has been inspected and approved by the local agency, or, if required by the local agency, inspected and certified by a registered professional engineer who has education and experience with underground storage tank system installations. Authority: Sections 252.99.3 and 25299.7. 1 feakth and Safety Code. Reference: Sections 25281, 25284.1, 25291 and 25299. Flealth and Safety Code; 40 CFR 280.20, 280.40-280.45. 2636. Design, Construction, Installation, Testing, and Monitoring Requirements for Piping. (a) Except as provided below, piping connected to tanks which were installed after July 1, 1987, shall have secondary containment that complies with the requirements of section 2631 for new underground storage tanks. This requirement does not apply to piping described as follows: (1) vent or tank riser piping, provided the primary containment system is equipped with an overfill prevention system meeting the requirements specified in sections 2635(b)(2)(13) or (C); or, (2) vapor recovery piping if designed so that it cannot contain liquid -phase product; or, (3) suction piping if the piping is designed, constructed, and installed as follows: (A) The below -grade piping operates at less than atmospheric pressure (suction piping); (B) The below -grade piping is sloped so that the contents of the pipe will drain back into the storage tank if the suction is released (gravity -flow piping); (C) No valves or pumps are 'installed below grade in the suction line. Only one check valve is located directly below and as close as practical to the suctiun pump; (D) An inspection method is provided which readily demonstrates compliance with subdivisions (A) through (C) above. (b) All corrodible underground piping, if in direct contact with backfill material, shall be protected against corrosion. Piping constructed of fiberglass-reinForced plastic, steel with cathodic protection, or steel isolated from direct contact with backfill, fulfills this corrosion protection requirement. Cathodic protection shall meet the requirements of section 2635(a)(2). (e) Underground primary piping shall meet all of the Following requirements: (1) Primary piping in contact with hazardous substances under normal operating conditions shall be installed inside a secondary containment system which may be a secondary pipe, vault, or a lined trench. All secondary containment systems shall be sloped so that all releases will flow to a collection sump located at the low point o€the underground piping. (2) Primary piping and secondary containment systems shall be installed in accordance with an industry code of practice developed in accordance with voluntary consensus standards. I'lie owner or operator shall certify that the piping was installed in accordance with the above requirements of section 2635(d). The certification shall be made on the "Certificate of Compliance for underground Storage Tank Installation Form C" (see Appendix V). (d) Lined trench systems used as part ora secondary containment system shall be designed and constructed according to a code 2a
