Pep Boys 4562 <br /> (a)(5)(B)tank systems will be anchored to prevent flotation or dislodgement where the tank <br /> system is placed in a saturated zone, or is located within a seismic fault zone. See Table 1, <br /> Figures 3—7 and photos in Appendix A. These restraints, together with the building wall are <br /> adequate to resist design earthquake forces calculated in accordance with the California Building <br /> Code. See calculations in Appendix E. Note that friction has not been included in the calculation <br /> of resistance to base shear force. The tanks are not located in a saturated zone. <br /> (a)(5)(C)tank systems will withstand the effects of frost heave: Not applicable—the tanks are at <br /> a low elevation in southern California. They are not subject to frost heave due to local climate <br /> conditions. <br /> (b)The owner or operator of a new tank system shall ensure that proper handling procedures <br /> are adhered to in order to prevent damage to the system during installation. Prior to covering, <br /> enclosing, or placing a new tank system or component in use,an independent, qualified <br /> installation inspector or an independent, qualified, professional engineer, registered in <br /> California,either of whom is trained and experienced in the proper installation of tank systems, <br /> shall inspect the system or component for the presence of any of the following items: The <br /> inspection of the tanks was conducted February 16, 2012.See inspector's qualifications in <br /> Appendix D. <br /> (b)(1) Weld breaks:See inspection results in Table IV. <br /> (b)(2) Punctures:See inspection results in Table IV. <br /> (b)(3)Scrapes of protective coatings:See inspection results in Table IV. <br /> (b)(4) Cracks:See inspection results in Table IV. <br /> (b)(5)Corrosion:See inspection results in Table IV. <br /> (b)(6)Other structural damage or inadequate construction or installation.All discrepancies shall <br /> be remedied before the tank system is covered,enclosed or placed in use. No discrepancies <br /> were noted. See inspection results in Table IV. <br /> (c) New tank systems or components and piping that are placed underground and that are <br /> backfilled shall be provided with a backfill material that is a noncorrosive, porous, homogeneous <br /> substance and that is carefully installed so that the backfill is placed completely around the tank <br /> and compacted to ensure that the tank and piping are fully and uniformly supported. Not <br /> applicable- the tanks are not underground. <br /> 6 <br />
