letter is sent to EHU requesting this extension thirty da, _ prior to the end of the <br /> calendar year. A one time, one year extension may be granted by EHD upon receipt of <br /> this letter. <br /> 4. REQLIRED IN-9PEGTIQNS_ <br /> Note: The contractor's EHD approved plans of the UST installation shall be retained at the job <br /> site and must be shown to the EHD inspector upon request. In addition, the applicable <br /> fire department shall approve the UST installation prior to commencement of work. <br /> All appointments for inspections must be made at least 48 hours in advance. Below are <br /> the minimum required inspections: <br /> a. Before installation, the tank shall be tested for tightness at the installation site in <br /> accordance with the manufacturer's written guidelines. If there are no guidelines, the <br /> primary and secondary containment shall be tested for tightness with air pressure <br /> between 3 and 5 pounds per square inch. In lieu of a pressure test, a vacuum <br /> expressed in inches of mercury in the interstitial space of the secondary containment, is <br /> acceptable. The pressure (or vacuum in the interstitial space) shall be maintained for a <br /> minimum of 30 minutes. <br /> b. All new primary piping and secondary containment systems shall be tested for tightness <br /> after installation in accordance with manufacturer's guidelines. Primary pressurized <br /> piping shall be hydrostatically tested at 150 percent of design operating pressure or <br /> pneumatically at 110 percent of design operating pressure. If the calculated test <br /> pressure for pressurized piping is less than 40 psi, 40 psi shall be used as the test <br /> pressure. The pressure shall be maintained for a minimum of 30 minutes and all joints <br /> shall be soap tested. If there are no manufacturer's guidelines, secondary containment <br /> systems shall be tested using an applicable method specified in an industry code or <br /> engineering standard. <br /> C. All lines other than pressure piping shall be pressure tested at not less than 3 p.s.i. and <br /> not more than 5 p.s.i. for a minimum of 30 minutes and soap tested while under <br /> pressure. <br /> d. Containment sumps shall pass a 24 hour hydrostatic leak test. <br /> e. The spill container shall be shown to be capable of draining liquid back into the fuel <br /> tanks. <br /> f. The monitoring system shall pass a functional test. The functional test shall consist of <br /> the activation of the alarm via all monitoring probes/sensors. <br /> g. Final inspection and approval to operate will be granted after the above requirements <br /> are satisfied and a hard copy of the tank integrity test [as required by Section 2635 (a) <br /> (5)] is submitted to the inspector at the site. <br /> If you need further assistance, or wish to schedule an appointment to discuss the plan <br /> review or field inspection, please contact our Underground Storage Tank Staff at (209) <br /> 468-3427. <br /> EH23 008 (REVISED 3/18/02) <br /> 3 <br />
