Response Plan for False Alarm Unauthorized Release If, after responding to an alarm, the Operator determines that a leak has not (continued) occurred,the Operator must arrange for the alarm system to be checked and,if necessary,repaired to prevent recurrence of a false alarm. The Operator must record all false alarms on the Operator's Monitoring Report. Removal Procedures Authorization must be given by the Operator and the Environmental Analyst prior to any removal activities. The actual removal operation is the responsibility of EPD's HWM Division. Tank Leak A leak in the primary tank will cause product to drain into the interstitial space. The contents of the tank and interstitial space must be pumped into an aboveground portable tank or container and properly disposed of according to applicable laws and regulations. The tank system must remain out of service until the primary tank is repaired. Piping Leak A leak in the primary piping will cause product to drain into the piping containment sump. The contents of the sump must be pumped into an aboveground portable tank or container and properly disposed of according to applicable laws and regulations.
