https:Hpublic.resource.orq This website is run by Carl Malamoud. Contains a vast array of regulatory <br /> information, including certain building and fire codes. Highly recommended. <br /> www.csb.gov The website of the US Chemical Safety Board has many videos and reports on <br /> chemical incidents that provide important safety lessons learned and other key information, including <br /> the Barton Solvents and Bethune Plant videos used in the class. It also contains videos about <br /> petroleum tank accidents and why they have occurred. Also highly recommended. <br /> www.steeltank.com This is the Steel Tank Institute (STI) website. One of their publications is "Tank <br /> Talk" that provides a lot of good information regarding tanks and inspections, as well as incident <br /> summaries. They also have a Linkedln group that you may want to join. The STI website also <br /> includes a link to the Storage Tank Venting Compendium published by STI-a free reference <br /> document that's all about venting, including emergency venting: <br /> http://steeltank.com/Publications/SteelFabBlog/Details/tabid/368/Articleld/341/NEW-Storage-Tank- <br /> Ventinq-A-compendium-of-articles-from-STI-SPFAs-Tank-Talk-newsletter.aspx <br /> www.pei.orq The website for the Petroleum Equipment Institute, PEI, an industry organization that <br /> has a wealth of information, including recommended practices-- they publish the RP-200 document <br /> we used in class. Note that this organization also has a recommended practice "RP-1400, <br /> Recommended Practice for the Design and installation of Emergency Generators..", which is very <br /> useful if you work with Emergency Gen systems. <br /> www.api.orq The website for the American Petroleum Institute, API. While much of their guidance <br /> regarding ASTs is geared toward larger tanks (such as those constructed to the API 650 Standard), <br /> their organization covers virtually all things involving petroleum. They publish a large number of <br /> standards covering many aspects of petroleum production, storage, refining, and distribution. One <br /> publication that is a good reference document for tank inspection is API Recommended Practice 575, <br /> "Inspection Practices for Atmospheric and Low Pressure Storage Tanks" <br /> Agency Information <br /> Federal Resources <br /> http://www2.epa..qov/oil-spills-prevention-and-preparedness-regulations The USEPA's main website <br /> for the SPCC Program. Includes the "SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors" document that <br /> provides background information about Plan writing and content. The website also has a link to the <br /> 40CFR112 regulations. Both are must haves for those preparing or reviewing SPCC Plans. <br /> Also on the EPA website is further information about trends in corrosion, particularly in USTs. I'd <br /> recommend you keep current on this, since this appears to be a well documented condition in USTs, <br /> which may also apply to ASTs Investigation Of Corrosion-Influencing Factors In Underground <br /> Storage Tanks With Diesel Service found at https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016- <br /> 07/documents/diesel-corrosion-report O.pdf <br /> There are additional resources about these conditions, including corrosion noted with ethanol blends- <br /> -a simple search on Google or other search engines should provide additional resources for you. <br /> California-Specific Resources <br /> For those of you that have clients or facilities in California, or if you may work there in the future, the <br /> Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA) implementation is overseen by the Office of the State <br /> Fire Marshal, (OSFM).
