1. PRODUCT LINE LEAK DETECTION Katie Seaborn AMERICAN CONTAINMENT SERVICES, INC. ® Annual GTEC Underground Storage Tank Management & Compliance Seminar - 2014

2. Angle Check Valve OR Foot Check Valve SUCTION PUMP Under Pump Check Valve UST 1. Common Method Product Pipe 2. Safe-Suction Method Suction Systems

3. SUCTION SYSTEM Leak Detection Requirements: For COMMON systems (one is required):  Product Pipe Tightness Test Every 3 Years  Monthly Interstitial Monitoring  Monthly Groundwater OR Vapor Monitoring  Monthly Statistical Inventory Reconciliation For SAFE-SUCTION systems (all are required):  Piping must slope back to the tank.  Only one check valve, and it must be installed as close as practical to the pump.  The above must be verifiable.

4. Dispenser Shear Valve UST Product Pipe Submerged Turbine Pump Pump Motor Pump Head Pressurized Systems

5. Must be equipped with an automatic line leak detector which must be tested annually, AND use one of the following:  Annual Line Tightness Testing  Monthly Vapor Monitoring  Monthly Groundwater Monitoring  Monthly Interstitial Monitoring  Monthly SIR PRESSURIZED SYSTEM Leak Detection Requirements:

6. Federal EPA Requirements for Automatic Line Leak Detectors (LLDs):  Can detect a 3-gallon per hour leak, at a line pressure of 10-psi, within 1 hour.  When a leak is detected, LLDs must shut off the product flow, restrict the product flow, or trigger an audible or visual alarm.  Must have a Third Party Certification. More PRESSURIZED SYSTEM Leak Detection Requirements:

7.  No leaks at the STP or leak detector  No reduced flow  No liquids in secondary containment  No alarms on electronic monitoring devices Recommended PRESSURIZED SYSTEM Leak Detection Checklists: Monthly Annually  Leak Detector Functionality Test  Product Line Tightness Testing  Visual Inspection of all accessible piping, fittings, and secondary containment  ATG System Inspection and Functionality Test
