Monthly <br />devices (overfill) <br />3.7.1 Daily Inspection <br />A University employee performs a complete walk-through of the facility each day. This daily <br />visual inspection involves: (1) looking for tank/piping damage or leakage, stained or discolored <br />surfaces, or excessive accumulation of fuel or water in the tank top containment area. <br />3.7.2 Monthly Inspection <br />The checklist provided in Appendix C is used for monthly inspections by the Physical Plant <br />personnel. The monthly inspections cover the following key elements: <br />Observing the exterior of aboveground storage tanks, pipes, and other <br />equipment for signs of deterioration, leaks, corrosion, and thinning. <br />Observing tank foundations and supports for signs of instability or excessive <br />settlement. <br />Observing the tank fill and discharge pipes for signs of poor connection that <br />could cause a discharge, and tank vent for obstructions and proper operation. <br />Verifying the proper functioning of overfill prevention systems. <br />Checking the inventory of discharge response equipment and restocking as <br />needed. <br />Observing the nearest storm drain inlets for the presence of a fuel /water sheen <br />and the accumulation of fuel in the storm drain inlet. <br />All problems regarding tanks, piping, containment, or response equipment must immediately be <br />reported to the Facility Manager. Visible oil leaks from tank walls, piping, or other components <br />must be repaired as soon as possible to prevent a larger spill or a discharge to navigable waters <br />or adjoining shorelines. Pooled fuel is removed immediately upon discovery. <br />-18- <br />Version 1.0, 11/28/2016
