Date of inspection (mm/dd/yy) Facility Name: Facility ID Number: Facility Address: Phone Number: Initial each column below the date of inspection to indicate that the device/system was inspected and found to be satisfactory on that date. For those items not applicable for this facility, please indicate “N/A”. Keep this record for no less than one (1) year. Date of inspection (mm/dd/yy) REQUIRED EVERY 30 DAYS Visually check spill prevention equipment for damage. Remove any liquid and/or debris. Check release detection equipment to ensure it is operating with no alarms or unusual operating conditions present. For double-walled spill prevention equipment with interstitial monitoring, check for a leak in the interstitial area. Check for and remove obstructions in the fill pipe. Check the fill cap to make sure it is securely on the fill pipe. Ensure release detection records are reviewed and current. REQUIRED ANNUALLY For double-walled containment sumps with interstitial monitoring, check for leaks in the interstitial area. Visually check containment sumps for damage and leaks to the containment area or a release to the environment. Remove any liquid or debris from containment sumps. Check hand-held release detection equipment, such as groundwater bailers and tank gauge sticks, for operability and serviceability.

Keep this record for no less than one (1) year Check hand-held release detection equipment, such as groundwater bailers and tank gauge sticks, for operability and serviceability Additional visual inspection not on the check list: dispenser hoses, nozzles, damage to vent pipes Keep this record for no less than one (1) year

Annual Release Detection Equipment Testing Automatic tank gauge and other controllers Test the alarm Verify the system configuration Test the battery backup Probes and sensors Inspect for residual buildup Ensure any floats move freely Annual Release Detection and Over-fill Prevention Equipment Testing

Annual Release Detection Equipment Testing Ensure shafts are not damaged Ensure the cables are free of kinks and breaks Test the alarm operability and communication with the controller Ensure probes and sensors are positioned properly Annual Release Detection and Over-fill Prevention Equipment Testing

Annual Release Detection Equipment Testing Automatic line leak detector Test operation to ensure the device activates (alarms, restricts flow, or shuts off flow) within an hour when simulating a release to 3 gallons per hour at 10 pounds per square inch (psi) Annual Release Detection and Over-fill Prevention Equipment Testing

Annual Release Detection Equipment Testing Vacuum pumps and pressure gauges Ensure there is proper communication with sensors and the controller Hand-held electronic sampling equipment associated with groundwater and vapor monitoring Ensure the device is calibrated and operates properly Annual Release Detection and Over-fill Prevention Equipment Testing

Over-fill Prevention Equipment Testing Ball float valves Check for presence of ball Overflow prevention valves (flapper valves) Overfill alarm system Test lights and alarm

Spill Bucket and Sump Testing Three Year Spill Bucket Testing STP Sumps, and Dispenser Sumps Testing Installed after July 1, 2007 Used for release detection monitoring Must be hydrostatic tested every three years Water from testing can be reused several times before being disposed of at a recycling facility All spill buckets, along with STP sumps and dispenser sumps installed after July 2007 and used for release detection monitoring, must be hydrostatic tested every three years. Water from the testing can be reused several times before it is disposed of at a recycling facility.

Spill Bucket and Sump Testing Visual examination Water test Fill port cap is tight Use plumbers plug to prevent water entry Fill spill bucket 1½ inches from the top Fill sumps four inches above the highest penetration or seam Measure Visual Examination – Look for any damage, remove or liquid and debris. Fill with water – Before filling spill bucket make sure fill port cap is tight or use a plumber’s plug to prevent water from getting in tank. Fill spill bucket one and a half inches from the top. Sumps will need to be filled four inches above the highest penetration or seam. 3. Measure – Measure to nearest 1/16th inch. Wait 1 hour and measure again. Pass = Less than 1/8 inch change Fail = 1/8 inch or greater change
