For each determination of impracticability of secondary containment pursuant to §112.7(d),the Plan must clearly explain why secondary containment measures are not practicable at this facility and provide the alternative measures required in§112.7(d)in lieu of secondary containment. By certifying each measure allowed under§112.7(a)(2)and (d),the Professional Engineer attests: (A)That he is familiar with the requirements of this part; (B)That he or his agent has visited and examined the facility; and (C)That the alternative method of environmental equivalence in accordance with §112.7(a)(2)or the determination of impracticability and alternative measures in accordance with §112.7(d) is consistent with good engineering practice, including consideration of applicable industry standards, and with the requirements of this part. (ii)As described in paragraph (b)(3)of this section,the facility owner or operator may not self-certify measures as described in §112.9(c)(6)for produced water containers and any associated piping.
