Liquid Condensate Trap (LCT) Installation, Operations, and Maintenance Manual 1. PRE INSTALLATION NOTES: State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Requirements are listed in California Health and Safety Code, Chapter 6.7 and California Code of Regulations Title 23 Div. 3 Chap- ter 16. SWRCB Local Guidance Letters LG 113 and LG-169 address in detail these regulatory requirements that apply to Liquid Condensate Traps. Installers should familiarize them- selves with these requirements to ensure compliance. Some of the highlights of the SWRCB requirements are: Vapor condensate traps are permit- ted as part of the Underground Storage Tank (UST) System and are regulated like any other UST System. Requirements will vary depending on the date of installation, but secondary containment, interstitial monitoring, periodic secondary containment testing, cathodic protec- tion, periodic integrity testing, and overfill prevention may be required. Automatic evacuation of vapor condensate traps are equipped with a suction line (typically connected to a siphon port on the turbine) that can automatically evacuate liquid and return it to the UST. Because the suction line contains liquid product, it is subject to the same regulatory requirements as any other product suction piping on the UST system. Depending on the installation date of the UST and the presence or absence of check valves, secondary containment, interstitial monitoring, or periodic integrity testing of the suction line may be required. CAUTION: Always obtain approval from the local authorities having jurisdiction before beginning any work. Installation of the Liquid Condensate Trap must comply with (if applicable): • Air Resources Board Certification Procedure CP 201; • Healy Phase II EVR Executive Orders (EO) VR 201 and 202; • Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) — List of CUPAs can be found at (www. calepa.ca.gov/CUPA/Directory/default.aspx); • Fire Marshal; • SWRCB; • Local Air Pollution District; • International Code Council (ICC) Note: Anyone working on an LCT system must have an ICC certification for UST Service Technician, or UST Installation and Retrofitter; • NEC; • NFPA 30 and 30A; • UL; • Any other applicable Federal, State and local codes. 9-I CARE Approved IN 9-Liquid Condensate Trap-EXECUtiVe Orders VR-201 and VR-202
