Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-761.500 - Storage Tank System Requirements
(1)
General requirements.
(a) Wellhead Protection.
Persons are advised that Chapter 62-521, F.A.C., contains restrictions
regarding the location of storage tank systems within 500 feet of a potable
water well.
(b) Secondary
containment.
1. The materials used for
secondary containment shall be:
a. Impervious
to the regulated substance being stored in the storage tank system and able to
withstand deterioration from external environmental conditions,
b. Non-corrosive or of corrosion-protected
materials or technologies; and,
c.
Of sufficient thickness and strength to withstand hydrostatic forces at maximum
capacity to prevent a discharge.
2. For cathodically protected tanks and
integral piping, secondary containment systems shall not interfere with the
operation of the cathodic protection system.
3. Secondary containment systems shall be
designed and installed to direct any release to a monitoring point or
points.
4. If factory-made
single-walled spill containment systems or single-walled sumps are installed on
the system, a containment integrity test shall be performed before the
component is placed into service in accordance with the manufacturer's testing
requirements. For system components without manufacturer containment integrity
testing specifications, PEI/RP1200-19, 2019 Edition shall be used. PEI
RP1200-19 is the Recommended Practices for the Testing and Verification
of Spill, Overfill, Leak Detection and Secondary Containment Equipment at UST
Facilities, hereby adopted and incorporated by reference and, as a
copyright protected document, is available for inspection at the Department of
Environmental Protection or the Department of State address provided in

74101-2380, (918)494-9696, or the publisher's website at
www.pei.org/. For field-fabricated components
the tests shall be at least for 24 hours in accordance with manufacturer's
requirements.
5. An interstitial
integrity test shall be performed on the storage tank after it is delivered and
installed at the facility and before the storage tank is placed into service.
This test shall be performed in accordance with manufacturer's requirements.
For storage tanks without manufacturer's interstitial integrity testing
specifications, PEI/RP100-20, 2020 Edition shall be used. PEI/RP100-20 is
hereby adopted and incorporated by reference and, as a copyright protected
document, is available for inspection at the Department of Environmental
Protection or the Department of State address provided in subsection
62-761.210(1),

6. An interstitial integrity test shall be
performed on integral piping in accordance with PEI/RP100-20, 2020 Edition, and
PEI/RP1200-19, 2019 Edition, before the integral piping is placed into
service.
7. If double-walled spill
containment systems or double-walled sumps are installed on the system, an
interstitial integrity test shall be performed in accordance with the
manufacturer's testing requirements. For system components without manufacturer
interstitial integrity testing specifications, PEI/RP1200-19, 2019 Edition
shall be used before the component is placed into service.
(c) Cathodic protection.
1. Test stations. Cathodic protection systems
shall be designed, constructed, and installed with test stations in accordance
with NACE standards contained in paragraph

where electrical connections to cathodically protected structures can be
conveniently accomplished, need not have separate dedicated cathodic protection
test stations.
2. The cathodic
protection system shall be operated and maintained in accordance with
subsection 62-761.700(2),
F.A.C.
3. Any field-installed
cathodic protection system shall be designed and installed by or under the
direction of a Corrosion Professional.
4. Cathodic protection is not required for
any field-fabricated primary storage tank that has been installed within a
former single-walled storage tank as a means to upgrade to secondary
containment. However, the former single-walled storage tank, which has now
become the secondary containment must be protected from corrosion.
