Tanks C and D, with a total Capacity of 20,000 gallons, as shown in the table for Product and Storage Capacity are stored within a double wall tank, with a capacity of 22,000 gallons, which is sufficient to contain the 20,000 gallons of product, plus 10%additional volume. Any release from the tanks will be contained in the secondary containment area. Portable containers will be checked on a weekly basis to ensure that the secondary containment lid is secure and to inspect for any liquid within the secondary containment that would prove to be a possible leak within the primary container.

The secondary containment will be cleaned with sorbent material, which will be disposed of within a hazardous waste container.
