UST Monitoring • Response <br /> Tank Monitoring Equipment Date: November 12, 1997 <br /> Facility Name: Pacific Bell Facility ID: UE148 <br /> Vecdcr Root - TLS-350 <br /> inventory <br /> n actof the itterm tank monitoring product for rd with <br /> tnk oninuos product moi orig provded hogh the nslatioof te TLS350 Tank Level accomplished <br /> manufactured by Veeder-Root. <br /> The TLS-350 consists of a Computerized Inventory Monitor (CIM) and one Digital Sending Probe (DSP) for each <br /> tank being monitored. The highly accurate, all electronic probe has no moving parts for greater accuracy and <br /> less maintenance than other electro-mechanical, float-type devices. A single CIM can handle multiple probes and <br /> continuously monitor each one, analyzing their signals for liquid, temperature, depth and water level. <br /> Based on this input, the CIM computes volumes and stores this information for remote polling. The RE-232C <br /> Serial Interface Communication port permits access to TLS-350 information from remote locations via telephone <br /> lines. This serial interface is capable of handling up to 16 polling stations from centralized remote locations. <br /> The output of the serial port can be formatted for teletype or computer (IBM-PC) interface. <br /> The TLS System has four modes of operation - Leak Detection, Tank Detection, Interstitial/Piping Sump Lead <br /> Detection and Automatic Delivery Reporting. When the leak monitor mode is activated, the TLS System <br /> continuously monitors fuel levels in each tank and can detect losses of 0.2 gph. An hourly report on each tank <br /> shows temperature-compensated inventory changes to 0.1 gallon based on inventories when the tank leak mode is <br /> initiated. The Leak Monitor is activated through a push-button mounted on the front panel, or remotely through <br /> the RS-232 Telecommunications Interface. <br /> The Tank Inventory Report presents the current status of each tank. It provides station location, date and time, <br /> volume and level of fuel, water level and temperature. <br /> Interstitial/Piping Sump Leak monitoring will be provided using two liquid sensors placed in the double wall tank <br /> annular space and in the tank manhole space. The LED display on the TLS console will flash indicating the alarm <br /> cause and location. <br /> The Automatic Delivery Increase Report features are generated two minutes after fuel is delivered to the tank. <br /> The printout includes date, time, volume and temperature before and after the increase and the net increase of <br /> inventory. <br /> Alarm Conditions <br /> Pacific Bell's UST/IS database system automatically calls the TLS monitoring system and "reads" alarms and tank <br /> data four times per day. The alarms are investigated by our personnel in the centralized Fuel Administration <br /> Center located in Sacramento, California. <br /> In the event the on site TLS device panel indicates an alarm condition the Power Room/Fleet personnel are <br /> instructed via an "In Case of Alarm" Notice posted on the device panel to contact the following: Power Room <br /> Supervisor, Site Manager, Real Estate Facility Engineer, Fuel Administrator Center. <br /> Recertificationof • <br /> All equipment used in implementing the monitoring program shall be installed, calibrated, operated and <br /> maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, including routine maintenance and service checks. <br /> The system is inspected once per calendar year by a third party in accordance with Article 5, Title 23, CCR. <br /> Copies of the recertification report shall be sent to the administering agency and copies will be maintained on site. <br /> pg. 4 <br />
