<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Lodi SP-001 Inspection | 01-31-22 <br />with a capacity less than 550 gallons is 0.093 inches. All measurements were above the minimum design range. <br />Results are presented in Appendix B. <br /> <br />3.6 Integrity Testing: <br />Double walled ASTs may be integrity tested by observation of functioning liquid level meters / overfill alarm system <br />and insuring the interstices are free of liquids and odors. If water is present, additional steel thickness measurements <br />are required for the secondary shell. If fuel is present, leak testing is required. Tank 9 had diesel fuel present in the <br />interstice and is Required to be removed from service. The tank fuel and interstice levels were equal <br />indicating a leak. For single walled ASTs with capacities less than 1,000 gallons external inspections are sufficient. <br /> <br />3.7 Venting: <br />Some indoor tanks do not have normal vents which are Required. Tanks 1 and 3 have no E-vents, and tanks 4 – 7 <br />have 2-inch “pop-top” fill ports working as E-vents that supply insufficient venting capacity. Emergency vents are <br />Required to be added to the indoor tanks at each of the large ports (labeled “Primary Emergency Vent” on most <br />tanks”). <br /> <br />Tank 10/11 and 12 have 2 separate manifolded vents, one terminating at a pressure/vacuum vent on tank 10/11, and <br />the other terminating at an exhaust vent. It is Recommended that an additional p/v vent be added to tank 12 and the <br />manifolded vent piping be disconnected. Tank 9 has a flame arrestor connected to the LLM port acting as a normal <br />vent. Tank 8 has a standard 2” normal vent. The vents are clear of debris and are in good condition. Tanks 10/11 and <br />12 have emergency vents located on top of the tank for each compartment and each interstice. The emergency vents <br />were observed to be sized correctly and operating as designed. Tank 9 has 2 emergency vents, and the primary vent <br />is seized and could not be freed during inspection. Tank 8 also has 2 emergency vents, but the primary emergency <br />vent is missing a bolt to connect the top. Both tanks emergency vents are Required to be repaired. <br /> <br />3.8 Ancillary Equipment and Piping: <br />Ancillary equipment is supported and protected against physical damage and stress due to settlement, vibration, <br />expansion or contraction. Both inlet and discharge piping provide flexion in case of limited physical displacement. All <br />ancillary equipment is located in the immediate area for inspection prior to use. <br />Ancillary equipment includes: fuel pumps, fuel filters, fuel hoses, exhaust vents, and pressure gauges. <br /> <br />3.9 Overfill Protection and Alarms: <br />Tank 1 has a Liquid level monitor (LLM) in the form of a Roth mechanical level meter. Tanks 3 – 7 all use Krueger at- <br />a-glance mechanical level gauges. These devices do not have associated alarms, and are Required to be added. <br />indoor tanks 4, 6, & 7 also utilize a SMARTank ST90 remote tank monitor. This monitor provides a liquid level to a <br />remote office once a day and is not acceptable for overfill alarms. <br /> <br />Outdoor tank LLMs utilize a Morrison brothers clock gauge and a Veeder-Root LLM and alarm system. Both systems <br />appeared to be in good working order. Outdoor tanks do not have interstice leak detectors and are Required to be <br />installed. <br />
