P.O. Box 2003 <br />Evaluation Results <br />This ATGS, which operates in two modes depending on the specified probability of detection of <br />a leak rate of 0.20 gallon per hour, declares a tank to be leaking when the measured leak rate <br />exceeds a threshold designed for the chosen mode. The threshold, probability of false alarm, <br />P(FA), and probability of detection, P(D), of detecting a leak rate of 0.20 gallon per hour, are <br />given in the table below for the two modes of operation. <br />Threshold Probability of False Alarm (FA) Probability of Detection [P(D)i <br />0.16 < 0.01% 97% <br />0.15 < 0.019° 99% <br />The minimum water level (threshold) in the tank that the ATGS can detect is 0.54 inch for the <br />magnetostrictive version r847�3 probe. Note: The probe does not report water -levels below <br />0.75 inch in normal use. <br />The minimum change in water level that can be detected by the ATGS is 0.027 inch for the <br />magnetostrictive version *8473 probe. <br />Based on these results, the method ® does 13 does not meet the federal performance standards <br />established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of 0.20 gallon per hour at P(D) of 959'° <br />and P(FA) of 5%. <br />ATGS—CSLD Method Results Form Page 1 of 3 <br />
