Emergencysponse Plain <br /> The following Response actions will be initiated when a leak is either <br /> suspected or confirmed. <br /> Suspect a leak if monitoring system records indicate a "TEST INVALID", <br /> or a "TEST FAIL" result in a consistent pattern on several successive <br /> reports. In addition, a leak will be suspected if visual observation of <br /> tank and piping show evidence of leaking. Should any of these <br /> conditions exist, CONTACT THE ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIALIST. A <br /> precision test will be scheduled in order to confirm the leak. <br /> Leak confirmation will occur as a result of failure of both an initial and <br /> follow-up full system precision test, and/or the combination of leak <br /> monitoring system indicators and failure of a precision test. When a leak <br /> is confirmed, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL SPECILIST. <br /> and take the following actions, as applicable: <br /> Put out all flames and remove other sources of ignition in the area of the <br /> tank. Take the pumps out of service and place barricades and/or traffic <br /> cones around a large area of the tank to restrict access. <br /> A. If tests indicate that the piping and not the tank body is <br /> leaking, arrange for a tanker truck to lower the liquid level <br /> in the tank. <br /> B. If the tank body is leaking, make arrangements for the <br /> removal of tank contents as soon as possible. Leave a 4 <br /> to 6 inch layer in the tank to assure a rich non-explosive <br /> vapor mixture, and to avoid contaminating the product <br /> with sludge. <br /> C. Notify local permitting agency, i.e., Fire Department, by <br /> telephone and inform them of actions taken. Follow up <br /> with a letter within 5 days. <br /> 1 <br />
