Luis, <br />1. Upon reviewing the second draft of the used oil tank assessment for Panella Trucking, more items <br />were found to be missing or need more clarification: <br />1. Remaining service life of tank: What does 50 years with maintenance mean? What type of <br />maintenance? Does 50 years include the 15 years already used or is it 50 years from the date of the <br />assessment? The manufacture states that the tank life for this type of use, is 50 years from the date of <br />manufacture with proper corrosion protection (Painting). If corrosion appears, the area should be <br />cleaned to bare metal, primed and painted with a suitable coating. <br />2. Piping: VvIat type of material? What are the lengths (Fill and Drain)? What are the volumes? <br />Piping must also be tested. Vacuum line is I Y2" schedule 40 about 4' long. Pressure side is I Y2 <br />single wire oil resistant rubber hose to top of tank than I Y2 ll schedule 40 pipe. Volume 389 cubic <br />inches. 1. 7 gals. The drain or unloading line was tested with the tankfor a pressure of 5 psi. <br />3. Secondary containment: Provide a brief description of materials and coatings used to prevent <br />migration of wastes from the area. Provide a discussion of the compatibility and incompatibility of <br />the containment surface with any waste it may come in contact with. What does the statement in the <br />assessment " all impediments in the concrete block have been sealed with a suitable sealant to <br />prevent leakage" mean? The containment is by a voidsfilled reinforced concrete block wall that is <br />unlined. All concrete is permeable to any liquid, but concrete has a very low rate ofpermeability. <br />Any spills would be discovered long before diesel or used oil couldpenetrate the 8" concrete block <br />wall or the concrete fioor. A 11 penetrations are caulked with sealant <br />4. Clarification of secondary containment calculations: tank volume calculations must include <br />tank.
