((('l) PEURP1200-17 This document is not meant to provide interpretation of regulatory or legislative requirements related to UST systems. 1.5 Use of Other PEI Recommended Practices. o;There are many aspects of UST systems that are not described in this document. Refer to the following PEI documents for additional recommended practices and procedures related to UST systems: • PE IRP100, Recommended Practices for Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems; • PEURP300, Recommended Practices for Installation and Testing of Vapor Recovery Systems at Vehicle Fueling Sites; • PEURP500, Recommended Practices for Inspection and Maintenance of Motor Fuel Dispensing Equipment; • PEURP900, Recommended Practices for the Inspection and Maintenance of UST Systems. 1.6 Regulations and Codes. USTs and the ancillary equipment discussed in these recommended practices are usually regulated by federal, state or local agencies. While the general requirements of the regulations are similar, specific requirements may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The PEI Overfill, Release Detection and Release Prevention Equipment Testing Committee has not attempted to describe or interpret specific regulations in this document. Where there are differences between applicable regulations and the recommendations in the publication, the more stringent requirements should be followed. 0 pei.org UST owners and operators need to verify that UST systems meet all applicable regulatory requirements. In some jurisdictions, equipment may require the approval of fire departments, environmental agencies or AHJs, or listing by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. AHJs also may require technicians to meet specific qualifications prior to working on UST systems. 1.7 Importance of Competent Technicians. In addi- tion to proper system design and operation, the use of skilled, professional service technicians with experience in UST systems is an important factor in ensuring that a tank system will operate safely and effectively through- out its working life. The use of technicians who have the experience and integrity to do the job correctly provides the greatest assurance that spill, overfill, leak detection and secondary containment equipment will operate as designed and installed. Equipment manufacturers and/or AHJs also may require technicians to meet specific quali- fications prior to working on underground tank systems. 1.8 Notifications. Federal, state and local agencies have reporting requirements for certain environmental incidents. When a test procedure in the recommended practice indicates a failure of a system or component, identify the "appropriate person" or AHJ who should be notified.
