JAN 2 6 2015 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL.. <br /> HEAM4 r1Cor6DT�ACKIT <br /> standard,and as indicated on the nameplate,tanks are factory tested at five(5)psi prior to shipment and do not <br /> exhibit permanent wall displacement from factory testing. It is unclear why or how the tank walls became <br /> permanently displaced,however, inspection of the interstitial space suggests that the primary tank's integrity has <br /> not been compromised. Discussion of these conditions with Dave Dooley,a technical support representative for <br /> Containment Solutions Inc.,resulted in him stating that, in his opinion,a pressurized integrity test of the tank was <br /> unnecessary,so long as inspection of the interstitial space did not indicate a breach of the primary tank. <br /> The tank is seismically braced with six brackets,two on each long side and one on each short side,to reduce the <br /> likelihood of lateral movement of the tank during an earthquake. The braces are secured to the floor using 1/2 inch <br /> diameter anchor bolts, and are positioned against the tank,but are not fastened directly to the tank.The tank is <br /> located in a narrow room such that the tank is unlikely to overturn. <br /> 3.10 Tightness Testing [CCR§66265.192(k)(10)] <br /> Discussion with Dave Dooley,technical support representative for Containment Solutions, Inc.,indicated that <br /> Containment Solutions does not have a formal manufacturer's procedure for integrity testing in-service tanks.Mr. <br /> Dooley stated that they generally recommend following SPCC testing requirements which often rely on industry <br /> inspection standards such as Steel Tank Institute's(STI)SP001 Standard for Inspection of Aboveground Steel <br /> Tanks. SP001 inspection requirement for tanks of the size and configuration described in this document is <br /> periodic visual inspection. <br /> On 6 January 2015 the tank was inspected for tightness by visually inspecting the interstitial space between the <br /> primary and secondary tank walls for signs of leakage.No visible indication of product was present during the <br /> inspection.There was,however, oily residue and accumulation on the top and sides of the tank and several layers <br /> of absorbent mats placed around and under the tank which appeared to have soaked up some quantity of oil.There <br /> was no indication of an apparent source.The tank and pipe attachments(inlet,outlet,vent)should be cleaned, <br /> absorbent mats removed,and the tank and connections monitored for change per the daily inspection log. <br /> The piping system was also inspected for tightness on 6 January 2015 by visually inspecting the inlet piping and <br /> fittings during transfer of oil into the tank. Outlet and vent pipes were also visually inspected,though not during <br /> use.No apparent leaks were identified during the inspection,however, it was noted that many of the fittings and <br /> pipes had oily residue and drips on them suggesting a historical issue or slow leak.The pipes should be cleaned <br /> and monitored for change per the daily inspection log. <br /> 3.11 Remaining Service Life [CCR§66265.192(k)(11)] <br /> The tank is anticipated to be serviceable until recertification is required in 5 years.This certification is good for up <br /> to 5 years from the date on the coversheet. <br /> Ha=ardour Waste Tank System Assessment and Certification Page 8 of 11 NES,Inc. <br /> Broadbase,Inc.
