0 0 <br />tank. If the calculation indicates the tank may not be anchored sufficiently I put that <br />observation in my assessment report and require the anchor calculations be completed by <br />a registered civil or structural engineer. In areas of structural integrity of the tank itself, I <br />use standard tank design calculations as defined in API 650 for tank design or check the <br />tank against another design standard such as UL142.Occasionally, I calculate the <br />structural integrity of the tank using standard calculations defined in Mark's Mechanical <br />Engineers Handbook, Harvey's Theory and Design of Pressure Vessels or Young's <br />Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain. Other references I use during the inspection of <br />the tanks are Title 22, Cal CUPA Forum Guidance on Hazardous Waste Tanks, NFPA <br />30, California Fire Code, Becht's Guide to ASME B31.3 Process Piping as well as other <br />text books and documents. <br />Statement of Qualifications <br />Registered Chemical Engineer, California CH3755 <br />American Petroleum Institute 653 Above Ground Tank Inspector, #31187 <br />This certification includes the use of API 650 Welded Above Ground Storage Tank <br />specification, which has Appendix E is Seismic Design of Storage Tanks. This design <br />method is listed in the UBC as an alternative seismic design method for tanks. <br />Steel Tank Institute SP001 Level 1 and Level 2 Certified Above Ground Tank <br />Inspector. <br />This certification is for factory made steel tanks and relies heavily on UL 142 and NFPA <br />30. I have copies of both specifications which I use when I make my determinations. <br />40 Hour Hazardous Waste Training, University of California, Santa Cruz <br />Extension. <br />Confined Space Training, Levels 1, 2 &3, University of California, Santa Cruz <br />Extension. <br />Hazardous Waste Management Certificate of Achievement, Foothill College <br />Hands on Cameo Training, Harvard University of Public Health, U.S. EPA <br />NPDES Permit Writers Training, EPA <br />Underground Storage Tank System Workshop, Bay Area ETC <br />California UST System Operator, International Code Council <br />
