Assessment <br />Section 66265.192 Requirements <br />Pep Boys #710 <br />(a) Owners or operators of new tank systems or components shall ensure that the foundation, <br />structural support, seams, connections, and pressure controls (if applicable) are adequately <br />designed and that the tank system has sufficient structural strength, compatibility with the <br />waste(s) to be transferred, stored or treated, and corrosion protection so that it will not <br />collapse, rupture, or fail. The owner or operator shall obtain a written assessment reviewed and <br />certified by an independent, qualified, professional engineer, registered in California in <br />accordance with section 66270.11(d) attesting that the system has sufficient structural integrity, <br />is acceptable for the transferring, storing and treating of hazardous waste, and that the tanks <br />and containment system are suitably designed to achieve the requirements of this article. This <br />assessment shall be obtained prior to placing the tank system in service, and shall be kept on file <br />at the facility. This assessment shall also include, at a minimum, the following information: <br />(a)(1) design standard(s) according to which the tank(s) and ancillary equipment are or will be <br />constructed—See Table Il. The tanks were designed to meet UL 142 Standard. See tank <br />specifications and descriptions in Appendix B. <br />(a)(2) hazardous characteristics of the waste(s) to be handled. The waste oil, waste coolant and <br />waste water are California hazardous because of toxicity. See Table lll. <br />(a)(3) for new tank systems or components in which the external shell of a metal tank or any <br />external metal component of the tank system is or will be in contact with the soil or with water, <br />a determination by a corrosion expert of: Not applicable. The tanks are located inside a <br />building, and not in contact with soil or water. <br />(a)(4) for underground tank system components that are likely to be affected by vehicular <br />traffic, a determination of design or operational measures that will protect the tank system <br />against potential damage; and - The tanks are inside a building and not exposed to vehicular <br />traffic. The tanks are not underground. <br />(a) (5) design considerations to ensure that: <br />(a)(5)(A) tank foundations will maintain the load of a full tank. The tanks are on a foundation of <br />reinforced concrete, 6 to 12 inches thick, depending on location. See Table 1. <br />5 <br />
