4.0 PERIODIC INSPECTION (PERFORMED BY TANK OWNER OR HIS
DESIGNATE)
4.1 The following situations are considered Critical Situations. These REQUIRE
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. Inspect the tank for serviceability and make
corrections as required prior to returning it to service.
4.1.1 Take a tank out of service immediately (within 24 hours) if a leak is
found in the tank at any time. Repair or replace the tank. Consult
the tank manufacturer prior to making any alterations or repairs to a
tank.
4.1.2 If the tank has been exposed to a fire or other means which could
cause possible damage, inspect the tank for serviceability and
leaks prior to being put into service. Follow the inspection criteria
described in paragraph 5.0 below. Make corrections and/or repairs
as required. Consult the tank manufacturer prior to making any
alterations or repairs to a tank.
4.1.3 Check for proper drainage during or after a major storm in
accordance with paragraph 4.6 below.
4.2 Monthly, check the primary tank for the presence of water at the lowest
possible point(s) inside the tank. In addition, check the secondary tank or
secondary containment if the aboveground tank is so equipped. Remove any
water found. Bacteria in the water can cause corrosion and plug filters. If
water is found in a tank, check for the presence of corrosion inducing bacteria
using a microbe detection kit. If bacteria are present, treat with a suitable
bactericide. See the US Department of Energy BNL 48406, a report which
provides additional information. Remove a tank from service that has a
known leak in either the primary or secondary tank or secondary containment.
4.3 Monthly, inspect the interstice of a double wall tank for the presence of fuel. If
tank is so equipped, check the leak detection system and replace or correct
as necessary. Check groundwater wells if the tank is so equipped. Remove a
tank from service that has a known leak in either the primary or secondary
tank or secondary containment.
4.4 Monthly, inspect all pipe connections to the tank for evidence of leakage.
Replace the gaskets in flanged connections, as necessary, with ones
compatible with the stored fluid and rated to cover the temperature extremes
of the tank environment. Tighten threaded connections if necessary.
4.5 Quarterly, perform a walk-around inspection to identify and repair areas of
damage to the tank or its coating. Clean the exterior if necessary. Promptly
repair any deficiencies that are found. It is important that the tank exterior be
inspected periodically to ensure that the integrity of the coating is maintained.
