Equipment that monitors underground storage tank systems containing hazardous materials must be tested/serviced <br />annually, or on a schedule specified by the manufacturer, whichever is more frequent. <br />This certification form must be used to document the following activities: 1.) Periodic testing as described above; <br />2.) Testing of new monitoring systems upon installation; 3.) Testing of replacement sensors, probes, or other <br />system components; and 4.) Testing of repaired sensors, probes,"or other system components. <br />3. As noted on Page 1, a separate certification form must be competed for each individual monitoring system control <br />panel. For example: If one control panel monitors in -tank gauging probes and another panel monitors electronic line <br />leak detectors, two certification forms would be required. <br />4. Be aware that many local agencies require that a permit be obtained dor to installing new monitoring systems or <br />components. Check with your local agency for their requirements before starting work. <br />Section B <br />1. In the Tank ID sections, describe which tanks you worked on (e.g. Diesel Tank, North Tank, Middle Tank). <br />2. For compartmented tanks, list each compartment as a separate tank. <br />3. Where "Model" is asked for, the name of the manufacturer and the manufacturer's specific model name or number, as <br />referenced in the "List of Leak Detection Equipment and Methods for Underground Storage Tanks" (i.e. LG -113) <br />must be specified. <br />4. Hands-on functional testing of individual leak detection components to confirm operability to manufacturer's <br />specifications and state regulations is required. This includes verifying any automatic shut-off features. In the case <br />of sensors that can not be non-destructively tested, contact your local agency that regulates UST systems to see if <br />they will approve alternate testing methods (e.g. testing of representative samples). <br />Section C <br />1. Certification must be made by a state -registered technician. <br />2. All work associated with testing/servicing of equipment must be performed by or under the direct supervision of the <br />certifying technician. <br />Section D <br />1. Leak sensors must be reinstalled at the low points of the secondary containment systems they monitor and positioned <br />so that other equipment will not interfere with their proper operation. <br />2. When testing operability of positive turbine shut -down, you must: 1.) verify shut -down by simulating a leak; and 2.) <br />verify shut -down by disconnecting the sensor. <br />Site Plan <br />You must attach a Site Plan showing the general layout of tanks and piping. Clearly identify locations of the following <br />equipment, if installed: monitoring system control panels; sensors monitoring tank annular spaces, sumps, dispenser <br />pans, spill containers, or other secondary containment areas; mechanical or electronic line leak detectors; and in -tank <br />liquid level probes (if used for leak detection). Note the date the Site Plan was prepared_ <br />
