SAN JOAQUIN <br />COUNTY <br />Environmental Health Department <br />All primary containment including any integral secondary containment system must be certified by an <br />independent testing organization and labeled as required by the organization (Title 23 Chapter 16, 2631(b); <br />(UL, ULC, ANSI, API, ASTM, etc. See Title 23 Chapter 16 Table B for complete list.) Pursuant to <br />Underwriters Laboratories Inc (UL) listing requirements, only those products bearing the UL mark will be <br />considered listed. ANY PART/PRODUCT NOT MARKED WITH THE UL LABEL OR ANOTHER LISTED <br />TESTING ORGANIZATION WILL BE REJECTED. All secondary containment system which is not an <br />integral part of the primary containment shall be designed and constructed according to an engineering <br />specification approved by a state registered professional engineer or according to a nationally recognized <br />industry code or engineering standard (Title 23 Chapter 16, 2631(d)). <br />6. Contact John Alaniz (ICC inspector) at (209) 468-3147 for the following inspections. See the permit <br />inspection checklist more information. All appointments must be scheduled 48 hours in advance. <br />❑ Inspection of tank vacuum gauge or inspection for brine leaks prior to tank placement in excavation. <br />All tank's pre -installation tests shall be performed according to tank's manufacturer instructions. <br />❑ Verification of tank set, anchorage, appropriate backfill, and appropriate additional corrosion protection <br />of tank anchors (turnbuckles, eye bolts, etc.). Corrosion protection is required on all exposed metal <br />prior to covering. <br />❑ Test of the primary UST(s) containment according to manufacturer's specifications. <br />❑ Primary piping soap test of all piping and penetrations (product, vapor recovery, and vent): One-hour <br />pneumatic pressure test at 110% of operating pressure, or 40 psi, whichever is greater. <br />❑ Secondary piping slope (at 1/8 foot per foot or greater) to a containment sump with an audible/visual <br />alarm. <br />❑ Secondary piping soap test of all piping and penetrations (product, vapor recovery, and vent): One- <br />hour pressure test at the manufacturer's recommended specification. <br />❑ Verification of all pipe setbacks and burial depth according to the manufacturer's installation <br />instructions. Verification of appropriate backfill. <br />❑ Integrity testing of all sumps per the manufacturer's installation instructions prior to backfill, and brine <br />type verification and brine addition prior to backfill. <br />❑ Verification of leak monitoring communication for all installed vacuum, pressure, or hydrostatic (VPH) <br />components including piping, sumps, UDCs, and all chase/crossovers; communication, at end point(s) <br />of each vacuum zone termination must be verified. All appropriate connections to facilitate <br />communication testing must be present. <br />❑ Verification of the dispenser footprints contained by the under dispenser containment sumps (UDCs), <br />any potential leaks from piping and fuel filters must drain directly into UDCs. <br />❑ Enhanced Leak Detection (ELD) testing (after facility is in operating condition): appropriate test <br />notification and test method disclosure <br />❑ VPH components installation verification (shroud boots for spill containers, band clamps for spill <br />containers, fill, vent and STP sump rubber gaskets, etc.) <br />❑ Overfill prevention verification prior to first fuel delivery: Measurement of drop tubes to verify 95% tank <br />volume shut off and/or verification that external audible/visual alarm activates when tank is 90% full. <br />An accurate drop tube and tank level gauge calculation must be provided to the EHD prior to <br />scheduling an overfill prevention verification inspection. <br />❑ Spill bucket test prior to first fuel delivery: Verify minimum 5 -gallon capacity and pass a one hour <br />hydrostatic test (or equivalent). Proper drainage method must be verified. <br />❑ Monitoring system functionality prior to first fuel delivery: Functionality of the monitoring system must <br />be verified to ensure it meets the requirements of Title 23 California Code of Regulations and the <br />Health & Safety Code (functionality and communication of hydrostatic, vacuum, and liquid sensors in <br />tanks, sumps and under dispenser containments (UDCs)). <br />❑ Leak detector test after first fuel delivery: Leak detector must be tested to confirm that the device can <br />detect a leak of 3 gallons per hour at 10 psi. Leak detector monitored line volumes shall be appropriate <br />for the make and model of the installed leak detectors, and shall be verified at the time of installation. <br />❑ Monitoring system functionality after first fuel delivery: Functionality of the monitoring system must be <br />verified to ensure it meets the requirements of Title 23 California Code of Regulations and the Health <br />& Safety Code (functionality of vacuum sensors and vacuum zones communication). <br />2 of 4 <br />
