tank,the distance between anchors(in either direction)provides a sufficient lever arm for the strap anchors <br /> to not exceed their allowable pull-out capacity. The second load case is with a partially full or full tank. In <br /> this scenario,because the liquid fills the bottom of the tank and increases its weight,the governing load case <br /> becomes the shear capacity of the concrete expansion anchors In the shear loading,all anchors resist the loads <br /> and their allowable capacity is not exceeded. This load case is conservative in its analysis since it neglects the <br /> friction force created by the weight of the partially full or full tank. This tank's rear is braced against the steel <br /> support structure at the wall,which further acts as a barrier to movement in the event of an earthquake.AST <br /> is situated in secured lubricants room,at the basement South side of the Service area. The tanks are <br /> unlikely to move outside the berm in a seismic event or a flooding event, as are the berms unlikely to move in a <br /> seismic or a flooding event. <br /> 9. AST will withstand frost-heave XX Yes No AST is anchored with nylon cargo straps over top of <br /> AST,set within anchored steel berm,located in secured covered lubricants removal area, not generally <br /> subiect to weather conditions <br /> 10. AST previously relocated? Yes XX No <br /> 11. AST Corrosion Protection Tank is a poly tank,not subiect to normal corrosion events. The tanks are set <br /> within a steel berm for secondary containment. The steel berm covered in paint,with no evidence of external <br /> corrosion. Tank has no specific corrosion protection beyond the paint. No part of the AST touches the <br /> ground. The base of the AST is poly,raised 4 inches from the floor of the steel berm and the steel berm is <br /> raised approximately 1 inch above the concrete pad. There is no evidence of internal corrosion taking place. <br /> Tank's construction material is carbon poly and the berm construction material is plate steel. <br /> 12. AST Spill Prevention Equipment Tank has secondary containment via steel berm. The only spill <br /> Prevention equipment is that the piping fills directly into the tank from the top of the tank and thus is not <br /> exposed generally to any spills. Should a spill occur,then the steel berm would contain the liquids spilled for <br /> eventual clean up. There is no evidence that any spilling has occurred. Filling operations are achieved by <br /> gravity feed into the tanks directly via connecting pipe from the temporary containment drip pans. <br /> 13. Overfill Protection: Product is not normally handled outside of intended containers. Filling operations are <br /> achieved by gravity feed from the articulating drip pans via pipe directly into the tank via the connected <br /> opening on the top of the tank. There is no equipment for overfill protection,but the semi-transparent nature <br /> of the tank allows easy visual inspection for product levels within the tank to avoid overfills. Should an <br /> overfill occur, the amount would be relatively small and contained within the steel berm. Daily visual <br /> inspections should be undertaken at this site. A copy of a Daily Inspection Log is attached hereto(but is not <br /> the exclusive form for daily inspections.) <br /> 14a: Toxic Considerations: Used mineral-based crankcase oil is the brown-to-black,oily liquid removed from <br /> the engine of a motor vehicle when the oil is changed.It is similar to unused oil except it contains additional <br /> chemicals from its use as an engine lubricant.The chemicals in oil include hydrocarbons,which are distilled <br /> from crude oil, and various additives that improve the oil's performance.Used oil also contains chemicals <br /> formed when the oil is exposed to high temperatures and pressures inside an engine.It also contains some <br /> metals from engine parts and small amounts of gasoline, antifreeze, and chemicals that come from gasoline <br /> when it burns inside the engine. <br /> 14b: Additional Hazardous Considerations: Waste Oil can be Ignitable& create fires under certain conditions, <br /> are combustible,or have a flash point less than 60°C (140°F),in addition to a slightly corrosive hazard.which <br /> can corrode&break down metals over long periods of exposure. It is not normally a reactive nor does it <br /> generate large amounts of vapors,which would be an additional fire hazard,however,this tank is fitted with a <br /> an 18 inch threaded manway with a 4-inch atmospheric vent on the primary tank,which is properly sized to <br /> this tank and the venting requirements as annotated for the design by Snyder Industries. <br /> 15. AST secondary containment(material/design/listed) AST has secondary containment via single wall <br /> construction to completely capture product introduced into primary vessel. Secondary containment is via an <br /> impermeable steel berm,which has no openings other than the top,which was inspected,was tested,is intact <br />
