All housekeeping and preventive maintenance inspections <br />should be documented. Inspection documentation should contain the following information: <br />The date and time the inspection was performed <br />Name of the inspector <br />Items inspected <br />Problems noted <br />Corrective action required <br />Date corrective action was taken <br />other means to document and record inspection results are field notes, timed and dated photographs, <br />videotapes, and drawings and maps. <br />Aboveground Tank Leak and Spill Control <br />Accidental releases of materials from aboveground liquid storage tanks present the potential for <br />contaminating stormwater with many different pollutants. Materials spilled, leaked, or lost from <br />tanks may accumulate in soils or on impervious surfaces and be carried away by stormwater runoff. <br />The most common causes of unintentional releases are: <br />Installation problems <br />Failure of piping systems (pipes, pumps, flanges, couplings, hoses, and valves) External <br />corrosion and structural failure <br />Spills and overfills due to operator error <br />Leaks during pumping of liquids or gases from truck or rail car to a storage tank or vice versa <br />Storage of reactive, ignitable, or flammable liquids should comply with the Uniform Fire Code and the National <br />Electric Code. Practices listed below should be employed to enhance the code requirements: <br />Tanks should be placed in a designated area. <br />Tanks located in areas where firearms are discharged should be encapsulated in concrete or the equivalent. <br />Designated areas should be impervious and paved with Portland cement concrete, free of cracks and <br />
