LG 162-2 - 6 - <br /> <br />California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> <br /> Recycled Paper <br />requirements. As with all leak detection equipment used to monitor the UST <br />system, these methods must be third-party certified and should be listed in Local <br /> <br /> <br />Guidance (LG) Letter 113. LG 113 can be found on our website at: <br />http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/ust/leak_prevention/lg113/index.html <br /> <br />It is important to note that regulated piping begins where piping exits/enters the <br />tank and continues to the point where piping extends above the surface of the <br />ground (e.g., at a shear valve). Statute does not provide an exemption for single- <br />walled piping transitions contained in sumps, or single-walled piping transitions in <br />UDCs, or fill piping contained in sumps. The following options may be used to <br />satisfy the requirements for single-walled piping transitions contained in sumps; <br />single-walled piping transitions contained in UDCs; and fill piping contained in <br />sumps: <br /> <br />i. The entire piping length, including piping within sumps or UDCs, must be <br />double-walled and continuously monitored using vacuum, pressure, or <br />interstitial liquid level measurement methods; or <br />ii. The interstitial space between the primary (i.e., single-walled transition <br />pipe or fill piping) and secondary containment (i.e., sump, UDC) must be <br />continuously monitored using vacuum or pressure. (Note: Interstitial liquid <br />level measurement would not be appropriate for this option.); or <br />iii. The single-walled transition pipe or fill piping must be contained within a <br />double-walled sump and/or double-walled UDC that either: (1) extends to <br />the surface or (2) has a double-walled product tight lid that is continuously <br />monitored using vacuum, pressure, or interstitial liquid level measurement <br />methods. The secondary containment (of the sump or UDC, including <br />penetration fittings) must be continuously monitored using vacuum, <br />pressure, or interstitial liquid level measurement methods. <br /> <br />Pursuant to Section 2637(a)(6) of Title 23, CCR, portions of the UST system <br />which are continuously monitored using vacuum, pressure, or interstitial liquid <br />level measurement methods are exempt from periodic secondary containment <br />testing. Therefore, periodic secondary containment testing is not required for <br />secondary containment of tank and piping that are continuously monitored using <br />vacuum, pressure, or interstitial liquid level measurement methods. Please note <br />that annual certification of the leak detection equipment is still required. <br /> <br />B. What components of USTs installed on or after July 1, 2004 are required to <br />be monitored in accordance with H&S Code, Section 25290.1(d)? <br />Section 25290.1 requires that the “underground storage tank system” be <br />designed and constructed with a continuous monitoring system. Tank and <br />product piping monitored using constant vacuum, pressure, or interstitial liquid <br />level measurement methods satisfy this requirement through Section 25290.1(e). <br />However, other parts of the UST system not subject to Section 25290.1(e) must
