Defined the term UST system.
An underground storage tank system consists of the tank and any underground piping connected to the tank that has at least 10% of its combined volume underground.
Regulations apply to only underground tanks and piping storing either petroleum or certain hazardous substances.
Exempted
- heating oil tanks
- tanks that hold less than 110 gallons
What is an AST?
As defined in the regulations, an aboveground storage tank storage or bulk storage container is any container used to store any type of petroleum products located aboveground.
Some are regulated depending on the quantity stored at the facility.
Date thanks Elevator reservoir tank’s Double walled steel tanks Double world tanks with a concrete exterior wall in steel interior wall Belly tanks Single walled steel tanks
Describe the procedures for replacing a UST with an AST.
You should work with a professional architect and or engineer to review building codes, organizational needs, and state or local regulations.
When planning the replacement, you will need to consider fuel loading procedures in proportion’s that apply to both USTs and AST’s, and depending on the type of tank the state regulatory agency may require cathodic protection.
