CAUTION: Gaining access to the contain- ment sump requires removing the lid, cover or dispenser panel that is in place to protect the equipment in the sump. These components can be heavy. They may require special handling and more than one person to remove them. Use caution when moving and replacing them when testing is complete. During the test, put the covers and panels in a safe location where they are secure and isolated from vehicle and customer traffic. 4. C nnect line from vacu t. appara 5.

Containment stamps are liquid- tight structures designed to temporarily contain leaks or spills. In addition, containment sumps often serve as the leak detection monitoring loca- tion for double-walled piping systems. Leakage from the primary containment typically flows by gravity inside the secondary containment to the sump, where it can be easily observed or detected by a sensor. This section describes a hydrostatic test method. There are vacuum test methods available for con- tairunent sumps. Consult the manufacturer before performing a vacuum test. NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions when testing the interstitial spaces of double- walled containment sumps. 6.5.2 Purpose. This section describes the prep- aration and procedures to test the integrity of con- tainment sumps to ensure that they do not leak. 6.5.3 Description of Test. The containment sump is filled to the proper level with water. The water level is measured at the beginning and end of the test. 6.5.4 Test Equipment. Test equipment shall include: water; measuring stick that is accurate to within 1/16 (0.063) inch and of sufficient length; stopwatch or other time-measurement device capable of measuring a 1-second increment. 6.5.5 Preparation. Care should be taken when conducting the test in the rain or during freezing weather condi- tions. Remove and properly dispose of any liquid and debris (leaves, sediment and trash) in the con- tainment sump. In spect the containment sump for damage. Examine all penetration fittings, conduits, junc- tion boxes, caps and risers (if present), and side- van seams for defects, damage or improperly installed components. If there are loose com- ponents (e.g., loose penetration fitting clamps or missing interstitial space caps), correct these items before performing the integrity test. If pei.org
