30 March 2019 AdvancedGeo AGE Project No. 10-1787 Environmental Page 5 of 6 5.1. CALCULATION Seismic analysis is calculated by using AST specifications and finding the horizontal shear, the overturn moment and the safety factor the AST will withstand during a seismic event. Seismic data used in the calculation is included as Table 2. The calculations are included as Appendix B. 5.1.1. Tank Specifications The 1,000-gallon AST primary and secondary compartments are manufactured from 10- gauge steel with a standard 1/8-inches in thickness, 55-inches in width, 113-inches in length and height of 48-inches. Containment Solutions (manufacturer) indicated that the tank weighs 2,200 pounds (lbs.) when empty. Waste oil is temporarily stored within the tank. 1,000-gallons of waste oil weighs approximately 450 lbs. The total seismic load of the tank is calculated to be 2,200 lbs. when empty and 2,650 lbs. when full. 5.1.2. Calculation Results The pounds of horizontal shear are calculated at approximately 668 pounds force (Ibf). The tank overturn moment is calculated at approximately-68,245-pound force foot (Ibf ft). The safety factor was calculated at approximately -8.6. The tank without additional components is sufficient to not spill during a potential seismic event for this area. Figure 3 shows the AST top and east side with dimensions. The seismic calculations are included as Appendix B. 5.2. SEISMIC ANCHORING AST seismic anchoring includes a total of three 6-inch by 3.25-inch by 0.25-inch steel plates bolted approximately 3.5-inches into the concrete slab which the tank rests on. Each steel plate is bolted to the forklift "feet" which are welded onto the tank. Additionally, the AST is surrounded on the east south and west sides by a six-inch brick wall within approximately 5-inches of those sides. The north AST side is approximately two feet from the Facility compressor and three feet from the north brick wall. The AST is shown in Figure 3. 5.3. INTEGRITY TEST FINDINGS Based on the calculations discussed in Section 5.1., the AST has sufficient integrity for its intended use. The total seismic load of the tank is calculated at 2,200 lbs. when empty and 2,650 lbs. when full.
