Significance and Use4.1 This guide is an educational tool for tank owners, operators, and other users and is not intended for use in certifyingcompliance with the Federal technical standards for underground storage tanks.4.2 The intent of this guide is t
26、o provide an overview of the general requirements. This guide is intended for users who aregenerally familiar with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 280. The user is advised that this guide does not contain the level of detailnecessary to make the determination of whether specific equipment or service
27、s meet the detailed technical performancerequirements of 40 CFR Part 280.4.3 This guide does not cover state and local requirements, that can be more stringent than the federal rules. Owners andoperators are responsible for meeting federal, state, and, in some circumstances, local requirements. It i
28、s recommended that ownersand operators familiarize themselves with these requirements as well.4.4 Owners or operators may use the sample checklist in Appendix X1 to assist them in determining operational conformanceor they may develop their own checklist based upon this guide.E1990 1624.5 This guide

UST System Requirements5.1 Operational ConformanceFor an underground storage tank (UST) system to be in operational conformance with 40 CFRPart 280, it must have release detection, corrosion protection, spill prevention, and overfill protection.5.2 Release DetectionTo meet all release detec
31、tion requirements, release detection for both tank and piping is required.5.2.1 Petroleum Tanks These tanks may meet release detection requirements by use of one of the following:5.2.1.1 Monthly monitoring using one of the following: automatic tank gauging, vapor monitoring, interstitial monitoring,
32、ground water monitoring, statistical inventory reconciliation (SIR), and any other approved method5.2.1.2 Monthly inventory control and annual tank tightness testing (may be used for existing UST systems which have not beenupgraded to meet Federal regulations at 40 CFR Part 280.21).5.2.1.3 Monthly i
33、nventory control and tank tightness testing every five years (may start when new UST systems and USTsystems that have been upgraded with spill prevention and overfill and corrosion protection meet the Federal regulations at 40 CFRPart 280.20 or 280.21). This release detection method must be replaced
34、 or augmented with one of the options in 5.2.1.1 at the laterof two datesDecember 22, 1998 or ten years after the tank was installed or upgraded with corrosion protection.5.2.1.4 Manual Tank GaugingThis release detection method is for tanks of 2000-gal capacity or less. This technique may beused if
35、the tank meets the size, test duration, and standard variation requirements listed in Table 1:5.2.2 PipingPiping may meet release detection requirements by use of one of the following:5.2.2.1 Pressurized PipingTo meet release detection requirements for pressurized piping, it is necessary to choose o
36、ne methodfrom 5.2.2.2 and one method from 5.2.2.4 (or a single method that satisfies both sections).5.2.2.2 Choose one of the following: automatic flow restricter,restrictor, automatic shutoff device, and continuous alarm system.5.2.2.3 Each of these methods must be tested on an annual basis in acco
37、rdance with the manufacturers requirements.5.2.2.4 Choose one of the following: annual line tightness testing, monthly monitoring using one of the following: vapormonitoring, ground water monitoring, interstitial monitoring, SIR, other approved methods, such as: electric or electronic line leakdetec
38、tor, and continual reconciliation.5.2.2.5 Suction Piping For suction piping, you may choose one of the following:5.2.2.6 Monthly monitoring using one of the following: vapor monitoring, ground water monitoring, interstitial monitoring, SIRand, other approved methods.5.2.2.7 Line testing every three
39、years.5.2.2.8 No leak detection requirements if the piping meets the following criteria:5.2.2.9 The below-grade piping operates at less than atmospheric pressure.5.2.2.10 The below-grade piping is sloped so that the contents of the pipe will drain back into the storage tank if suction isreleased.5.2
40、.2.11 Only one check valve is included in each suction line and it is located directly below and as close as practical to thesuction pump.5.2.2.12 Satisfying the preceding requirements must be able to be easily determined.5.2.3 Hazardous Substance TanksRelease detection for hazardous substance tanks

43、rdous UST systems may meet the release detection requirements as described in 5.2.1.(1) ByAll Dec. 22, 1998, all hazardous UST systems must meet the new system requirements described in 5.2.3.2.5.2.3.2 New UST systemssystems:(1) Unless an owner or operator has applied for and received a variance fro
44、m the implementing agency, new hazardoussubstance UST systems must have each of the following: secondary containment, and monthly interstitial monitoring.5.3 Corrosion ProtectionAll underground tanks and piping must be protected from corrosion.5.3.1 TanksAny portion of the tank that is underground a
45、nd routinely contains product must have corrosion protection. Thefollowing may be used to meet corrosion protection requirements for tanks:5.3.1.1 Coated and cathodically protected steel,5.3.1.2 Cathodic protection added,5.3.1.3 Interior lining added,5.3.1.4 Cathodic protection and interior lining a
46、dded,5.3.1.5 Fiberglass reinforced plastic,5.3.1.6 Steel tank clad with a noncorrodible material, and5.3.1.7 Other construction accepted by the implementing agency.5.3.1.8 Corrosion experts determination that the site is not corrosive enough to cause it to have a release during the operatinglife of
47、the tank.5.3.2 PipingPiping that routinely contains regulated substances and is in contact with the ground must be protected fromcorrosion. The following may be used to meet corrosion protection requirements for piping:5.3.2.1 Coated and cathodically protected steel,5.3.2.2 Cathodic protection added
48、,5.3.2.3 Fiberglass reinforced plastic,5.3.2.4 Other construction accepted by the implementing agency, and5.3.2.5 Corrosion experts determination that the site is not corrosive enough to cause it to have a release during the operatinglife of the piping.5.4 Spill Prevention and Overfill ProtectionTan
49、ks that received regulated substances in quantities greater than 25 gal at onefilling need to have spill prevention and overfill protection.5.4.1 To meet the spill prevention requirement, equipment that will contain the product in the transfer hose when the transferhose is detached from the fill pipe (for example, a catchment basin) must be used to prevent release of product to the environment.5.4.2 To meet overfill protection requirements, one of the following must be used:5.4.2.1 Automatic shutoff device,5.4.2.2 Overfill alarm, and5.4.2.3 Ball
