Won't tip over if AST slides westward, <br /> pavement is at same elevation(see photo). Block wall prevents eastward travel. <br /> Flotation: Empty Weight= 1,415 lbs Footprint(SF)= 26.95 Bouyant at 0.84 FT if AST Empty. <br /> Flotation due to flooding is n a concern at this location,tank could float if water was 0.84 FT deep <br /> and AST empty. Re iew of FEMA Map does not suggest flooding in less than 100 year event. <br />
