Concept. Storage tanks, properly operated and maintained in accordance wi

21、th environmental regulatory requirements, perform an essential function in support of the Air Force mission. Where petroleum and hazardous substances are necessary for use by the Air Force mission, they may be stored in regulatory compliant underground and aboveground storage tanks. Tank systems are

22、 operated and maintained to comply with the more stringent applicable Federal, state, local regulations and this AFI requirement. 1.2. Scope. This AFI describes the environmental and engineering requirements for underground and aboveground storage tanks and associated piping that store petroleum and

23、 hazardous substances. This AFI addresses the environmental compliance requirements associated with Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 112, Oil Pollution Prevention and 280, Technical Standards and Corrective Action Requirements for Owners and Operators of Underground Storage Tanks (U

24、STs) or overseas equivalent, AFI 23-502, Recoverable Fuel and AFI 23-204, Organizational Fuel Tanks, for instructions on managing organizational fuel storage tanks. This AFI does not address storage of wastes other than oils. Hazardous waste storage is addressed in AFI 32-7042, Waste Management, and

25、 Air Force Pamphlet (AFPAM) 32-7043, Hazardous Waste Management Guide. 1.3. Objectives. This instruction provides Major Commands (MAJCOM), Field Operating Agencies (FOA), Direct Reporting Units (DRU), and installations with a framework for complying with regulatory requirements for storage tanks and

26、 associated piping that store petroleum and hazardous substances except hazardous and radioactive waste. In the United States and its territories, use this instruction with applicable Federal, state, and local standards for storage tanks. For Air Force organizations at installations outside the Unit

27、ed States, its territories, and possessions, implement the applicable portions of this AFI (i.e., all paragraphs except those with asterisks) in accordance with the applicable Final Governing Standards (FGS) or, in their absence, the Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD). 1.4. Ap

28、plicable Standards and Regulations. The Air Force complies with applicable Federal, state, and local laws and regulations; Executive Orders (E.O.); DoD and Air Force publications, technical orders, and policies; and, overseas (OCONUS), with the OEBGD, appropriate FGS, international agreements, throu

29、gh applicable portions of this AFI. The following description of regulations applicable to storage tanks describes only the principal requirements and is not intended to be exhaustive. Air Force personnel are expected to comply fully with the underlying regulatory requirements of Title 40 CFR Parts

30、112 and 280, and the applicable state programs. Other requirements may apply to storage tanks under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Energy Policy Act of 2005 Title XV, Subtitle B titled Underground Storage Tank Compliance Act of 2005, and othe

31、r environmental laws, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and the national codes and standards listed in Attachment 2 to this AFI. 1.4.1.

32、I32-7044 25 APRIL 2012 5 1.4.1.1. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Title 42, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 6901, et seq. regulates USTs that contain regulated substances. Regulated substances are defined at 40 CFR Part 280.12 and include hazardous substances regulated under

33、the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., which are not otherwise regulated as RCRA hazardous waste, and petroleum and petroleum-based substances. 1.4.1.2. The Federal UST standards are found in 40 CFR Parts 280 and 281 (for approval

34、of state UST programs.). 1.4.1.3. Facility Response Plans. The Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plan and Facility Response Plan (FRP) requirements, found in 40 CFR Part 112, do not apply to USTs that are regulated under and comply wi

35、th applicable portions of 40 CFR Parts 280 and 281, except that USTs need to be included in the facility diagram as provided in 40 CFR Part112.7(a)(3) or if the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional Administrator otherwise requires the USTs to be included in the SPCC Plan as provided in 40

36、CFR Part 112.1(f). Section 311(j) of the Clean Water Act requires facilities that because of their location could reasonably be expected to cause substantial harm to the environment by a discharge of oil to develop and implement a FRP. Substantial harm facilities are defined in 40 CFR Part 112. 1.4.

37、1.4. The CAA requirements in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Kb, Standards of Performance for Volatile Organic Liquid Storage Vessels for Which Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced after July 23, 1984, apply to USTs as pertinent. 1.4.2. Aboveground Storage Tanks (AST). 1.4.2.1. The SPCC a

38、nd FRP requirements, discussed in paragraph 1.4.1.3, generally apply to ASTs located where, a discharge could reasonably be expected to reach navigable waters (including sewer pathways), unless both: (i) the completely buried storage capacity of installation facility has a total aggregate of 42,000

39、gallons or less of oil (see Attachment 1); and (ii) the total aggregate aboveground storage capacity of the installation is 1,320 gallons or less of oil. Tanks which are 55 gallons or larger and store petroleum, oil or lubricants are subject to SPCC regulatory requirements. Refer to the EPA definiti

40、on of oil in Attachment 1, Terms. 1.4.2.1.1. The SPCC Plan is the document required by 40 CFR Part 112.3 that details the equipment, workforce, procedures and steps to prevent, control, and provide adequate countermeasures for a potential discharge. The relevant requirements for preparing a SPCC Pla

41、n are located in 40 CFR Parts 112.3 112.8. 1.4.2.1.2. A facility shall also determine, in accordance with 40 CFR Part 112.20, whether, because of its location, a spill of oil could cause substantial harm to the environment by discharging oil into or on the navigable waters or adjoining shorelines.*

42、1.4.2.1.2.1. If the installation (facility as defined by 40 CFR Part 112) determines that it does meet the substantial harm criteria, it shall prepare a FRP as provided in 40 CFR Part 112 Appendix F or as required by the EPA Regional Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitt

43、ed without license from IHS-,-,-6 AFI32-7044 25 APRIL 2012 Administrator.* 1.4.2.1.2.2. If the installation (facility as defined by 40 CFR Part 112) determines that it does not meet the substantial harm criteria, it shall complete and maintain certification that the criteria do not apply. Even if th

44、e substantial harm criteria are not met, the EPA administrator has the discretion to require an FRP.* 1.4.2.2. ASTs that contain used oil, as defined in 40 CFR Part 279.1, must also meet the applicable RCRA used oil management requirements of 40 CFR Part 279. 1.4.2.3. In accordance with 40 CFR Part

45、112 SPCC Plans must include schedules and requirements defined for periodic inspections of Shop-Built ASTs (see paragraph 2.3.3.). 40 CFR Part 112.3 (d) (1) (iii) also requires the SPCC plan has been prepared in accordance with good engineering practice including consideration of applicable industry

46、 standards. 1.4.2.4. The CAA requirements in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart (K) (b), Standards of Performance for Volatile Organic Liquid Vessels for Which Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced after July 23, 1984 and Part 81 Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes apply to

47、 ASTs as pertinent. 1.4.3. States may adopt or enact storage tank regulations as long as those regulations are at least as stringent as Federal storage tank regulations. Air Force installations must comply with state or local (a) UST regulations: and (b) AST requirements where sovereign immunity has

48、 been waived. Installations should consult with the installation Staff Judge Advocate to obtain guidance on whether state or local government can regulate installation ASTs. 1.4.4. Air Force activities in overseas locations must implement this AFI in accordance with the appropriate FGS or, in their

49、absence, the OEBGD. Provisions of this AFI that are marked by an asterisk * do not apply in overseas locations. 1.4.5. Guidance on the construction and operation of petroleum storage tanks are governed by Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) 3-460-01, Design: Petroleum Fuels Facilities, UFC 3-460-03, Operation and Maintenance: Maintenance of Petroleum Systems, and DoD standard design AW 78
