associated with product transfer to the UST system, all UST systems with
field-constructed tanks and airport hydrant systems shall comply with new UST
system spill and overfill prevention equipment requirements specified in
Section 6.
(c)
Walkthrough Inspections. In addition to the walkthrough
inspection requirements in Section 13(d), owners and/or operators shall inspect
the following additional areas for airport hydrant systems at least once every
30 days if confined space entry according to the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (29 CFR Part 1910) is not required or at least annually if
confined space entry is required. Walkthrough inspection records shall be
maintained in accordance with Section 13(f).
(i) Hydrant pits. Visually check for any
damage, remove any liquid or debris, and check for any leaks; and
(ii) Hydrant piping vaults. Check for any
hydrant piping leaks.
(d)
Release Detection.
Owners and/or operators of UST systems with field-constructed tanks
and airport hydrant systems shall begin meeting the release detection
requirements described in this subpart not later than October 13, 2018.
(i) Methods of Release Detection for
Field-Constructed Tanks. Owners and/or operators of field-constructed tanks
with a capacity less than or equal to 50,000 gallons shall meet the release
detection requirements in Part D. Owners and/or operators of field-constructed
tanks with a capacity greater than 50,000 gallons shall meet either the
requirements in Part D (except Sections 16(d) or (e) shall be combined with
inventory control) or use one or a combination of the following alternative
methods of release detection:
(A) Conduct an
annual tank tightness test that can detect a 0.5 gallon per hour leak
rate;
(B) Use an automatic tank
gauging system to perform release detection at least every 30 days that can
detect a leak rate less than or equal to 1 gallon per hour. This method shall
be combined with a tank tightness test that can detect a 0.2 gallon per hour
leak rate performed at least every 3 years;
(C) Use an automatic tank gauging system to
perform release detection at least every 30 days that can detect a leak rate
less than or equal to 2 gallons per hour. This method shall be combined with a
tank tightness test that can detect a 0.2 gallon per hour leak rate performed
at least every 2 years;
(D) Perform
vapor monitoring (conducted in accordance with Section 16(d) for a tracer
compound placed in the tank system) capable of detecting a 0.1 gallon per hour
leak rate at least every 2 years.
(E) Perform inventory control (conducted in
accordance with Department of Defense Directive 4140.25, or A4A Airport Fuel
Facilities Operations and Maintenance Guidance Manual (both as referenced in
Section 2 ), or equivalent procedures) at least every 30 days that can detect a
leak equal to or less than 0.5 percent of flow-through; and
(I) Perform a tank tightness test that can
detect a 0.5 gallon per hour leak rate at least every 2 years; or
(II) Perform vapor monitoring or groundwater
monitoring (conducted in accordance with Sections 16(d) or (e), for the stored
regulated substance) at least every 30 days; or
(F) Another method approved by the department
if the owner and/or operator can demonstrate that the method can detect a
release as effectively as any of the methods allowed in this Section. In
comparing methods, the department shall consider the size of release that the
method can detect and the frequency and reliability of the detection.
(ii) Methods of Release Detection
for Piping. Owners and/or operators of underground piping associated with
field-constructed tanks less than or equal to 50,000 gallons shall meet the
release detection requirements in Part D. Owners and/or operators of
underground piping associated with airport hydrant systems and
field-constructed tanks greater than 50,000 gallons shall follow either the
requirements in Part D (except Sections 16(d) or (e) shall be combined with
inventory control) or use one or a combination of the following alternative
methods of release detection:
(A) Perform a
semiannual or annual line tightness test at or above the piping operating
pressure in accordance with the following table:
Maximum Leak Detection Rate Per Test Section Volume | ||
Test Section Volume (Gallons) | Semiannual Test - Leak Detection Rate Not to Exceed (Gallons/Hour) | Annual Test - Leak Detection Rate Not to Exceed (Gallons/Hour) |
<50,000 | 1.0 | 0.5 |
> 50,000 to <75,000 | 1.5 | 0.75 |
>75,000 to <100,000 | 2.0 | 1.0 |
>100,000 | 3.0 | 1.5 |
(B) Perform vapor mo
nitoring (conducted in accordance with Section
16(d) for a tracer compound placed in the tank system) capable of detecting a
0.1 gallon per hour leak rate at least every 2 years.
Piping segment volumes > 100,000 gallons not capable of meeting the maximum 3.0 gallon per hour leak rate for the semiannual test may be tested at a leak rate up to 6.0 gallons per hour according to the following schedule:
Phase-In For Piping Segments > 100,000 Gallons in Volume | |
First Test | Not later than October 13, 2018, may use up to 6.0 gallon/hour leak rate. |
Second Test | Between October 13, 2018, and October 13, 2021, may use up to 6.0 gallon/hour leak rate. |
Third Test | Between October 13, 2021, and October 13, 2022, shall use 3.0 gallon/hour leak rate. |
Subsequent Tests | After October 13, 2022, begin using semiannual or annual line testing according to the Maximum Leak Detection Rate Per Test Section Volume in Table above. |
(C) Perform inventory control (conducted in
accordance with Department of Defense Directive 4140.25, or A4A Airport Fuel
Facilities Operations and Maintenance Guidance Manual (both as referenced in
Section 2 ), or an equivalent procedure) at least every 30 days that can detect
a leak equal to or less than 0.5 percent of flow-through; and
(I) Perform a line tightness test (conducted
in accordance with this Section using the leak rates for the semiannual test)
