2. THE WYOMING Storage Tank Program

3. BEFORE THE PROGRAM b Tanks were installed without corrosion protection b Filling was done without concern about overfilling b Lines often leaked without being detected because inventory was not carefully checked

4. RESULTING IN: b Inventory losses due to leakage b Explosions caused by vapors b Contaminated water supplies b Vapors in basements, storm sewers and utilities b Cancer and other serious health problems b Financial Ruin for those responsible for Tanks The Wyoming Water Quality Division, Storage Tank Program, 122 West 25th Street, Cheyenne, WY 82002 (307) 777-7095 and (307) 777-5973 (FAX) and blucht@missc.state.wy.us FOR MORE INFORMATION...

15. TANK TIGHTNESS TESTING b Provided by an outside company b Types: UnderfillUnderfill OverfillOverfill UllageUllage Tracer Tight SurveysTracer Tight Surveys

16. Underfill Tank Tightness Tests In the Under fill method, a probe of some type is inserted into the tank to accurately measure product level during a shut-in period. The tank is first filled to near its capacity...

17. Overfill Tank Tightness Tests In the Over fill method, a tube is connected to the tank to accurately measure product level during a shut-in period. The tank is first filled to the top...

18. Ullage Tank Tightness Tests In the Ullage method, the tank is pressurized with nitrogen with all the vents and product lines blocked. A microphone inside the tank is used to listen for noise caused by leaks. The ullage is the space in the tank above the product level...

19. Tracer Tight Tank Surveys About a week later, the tester returns to try and find the tracer in the soils around tank tanks and/or lines. In the Tracer Tight method the product in the tank is first “inoculated” with a very volatile organic tracer, which is not normally present in fuel.

20. Automatic Tank Gauges b Measure only the volume of product in the tank. Cannot determine if lines are intact and cannot detect holes above the product surface b Two Types: Earlier Types shut-in the tank once a dayEarlier Types shut-in the tank once a day Continuous Statistical Leak DetectionContinuous Statistical Leak Detection b Must detect a 0.2 gallons per hour leak b Three Types of Detectors: REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS METHOD ARE IN CHAPTER 17 SECTION 16 (d)

24. Automatic Tank Gauges b You must have one passing result for each month... b You must keep those records for three years. b The passing result should be the highest passing result for the month. b If you cannot obtain one passing result in a month, you must declare as suspected release. b You must also do or another equivalent method along with an ATG. b You must also do Inventory Control or another equivalent method along with an ATG.Inventory Control REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS METHOD ARE IN CHAPTER 17 SECTION 16 (d)

25. Statistical Inventory Reconciliation REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS METHOD ARE IN CHAPTER 17 SECTION 16 (h) This method requires that all of the measurements made for Manual Inventory Control be taken on a daily basis…...

26. Statistical Inventory Reconciliation REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS METHOD ARE IN CHAPTER 17 SECTION 16 (h) If the SIR Company cannot produce a conclusive pass or fail, they report an inconclusive result... If you receive an inconclusive result, you must audit your records and resubmit your records to the SIR Company to attempt to achieve a conclusive result. If you receive an inconclusive result, and that cannot be reconciled, you don’t have a valid leak detection method for that month

27. Interstitial Monitoring Monitoring of the space between the two shells of a double wall tank for both products and water REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS METHOD ARE IN CHAPTER 17 SECTION 16 (g)

28. Interstitial Monitoring If your interstitial monitoring device indicates that product has escaped from your tank, you must declare a suspected release. If your interstitial space is disabled because it is full of rainwater or a cable is broken, you do not have a valid leak detection method for that month. REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS METHOD ARE IN CHAPTER 17 SECTION 16 (g)

29. Vapor Monitoring Wells Tank Basin Tank Water Table Monitoring Wells Wells must be monitored for vapors at least monthly REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS METHOD ARE IN CHAPTER 17 SECTION 16 (e)

30. Vapor Monitoring Wells b Cannot be used on any site which is already contaminated in such a way as to prevent detection of any new release. b Unfortunately, vapor monitoring wells tend to be a one shot deal. Once they detect a leak, it may not be possible to clean them up sufficiently that they can be used to detect a second leak later.

54. OUT OF SERVICE TANKS b All tanks must be removed or permanently abandoned within one year after they are taken out of service. This is to prevent tanks from becoming a problem years after they are abandoned.This is to prevent tanks from becoming a problem years after they are abandoned. Old tanks, abandoned with fuel in them have caused many of the problems that we have found to date.Old tanks, abandoned with fuel in them have caused many of the problems that we have found to date. b Permanently abandoning a tank requires emptying the tank and filling it with an inert material
