i 0 <br />UST Systems with Secondary Containment <br />UST systems with secondary containment have the following characteristics: <br />• double -walled tanks, <br />• double -walled piping, <br />• containment sumps, and <br />• under -dispenser containment. <br />For UST systems with secondary containment that were installed before July 1, 2003 <br />and are located within 1,000 feet of a public drinking water well, one-time ELD testing is <br />required. Health and Safety Code, §25289, subdivision (b) authorizes the State Water <br />Board to require this testing. We find that the burden of the testing, including costs, <br />bears a reasonable relationship to the need for regulatory agencies to be provided with <br />information on tank integrity. Also, please see Enclosure 2. <br />The owner or operator of an UST system with secondary containment within 1,000 feet <br />of a public drinking water well must submit and have a program of ELD testing approved <br />by the local permitting agency within six months from the date of this formal notification. <br />An approved program of ELD testing must be implemented no later than 18 months <br />following this formal notification. (Cal. Code Regs., Title 23, § 2644.1.) <br />Low-interest loans and grants are available to help qualified owners and operators of <br />small, independently owned and operated UST facilities remove and replace UST <br />components. See Enclosure 3 (in orange) and Enclosure 4 (in yellow) for details. <br />PART C. REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION OF THIS NOTIFICATION <br />If you believe that your UST system is not subject to the ELD testing requirement, you <br />may request reconsideration from the State Water Board's UST Program Manager. <br />Information on the request for reconsideration process is included in Enclosure 5 (RFR <br />Form, in blue), as well as in Enclosure 2. (See also Cal. Code Regs., Title 23, § 2640, <br />subd. (e).) If you have previously completed ELD testing, you are not required to submit <br />a RFR, however, you must submit a copy of the test results to the State Water Board. <br />Anyone wishing to submit an RFR must fill out the form and submit it to both the local <br />permitting agency and the State Water Board's UST Program Manager. The RFR must <br />be received no later than 60 calendar days from the date this notification letter was <br />mailed. The request must demonstrate at least one of the following: <br />California Environmental Protection Agency <br />a Recycled Paper <br />
