(a) The owner or operator must develop and
follow a schedule and procedure for inspecting overfill controls.
(b) The owner or operator must inspect at
least once each operating day data gathered from monitoring and leak detection
equipment (e.g., pressure or temperature gauges, monitoring wells) to ensure
that the tank system is being operated according to its design.
[Note: Section 264.15(c) requires the owner or operator
to remedy any deterioration or malfunction he finds. Section 264.196 requires
the owner or operator to notify the director within 24 hours of confirming a
leak. Also, 40 CFR part 302 may require the owner or operator to notify the
National Response Center of a release.]
(c) In addition, except as noted under
paragraph (d) of this section, the owner or operator must inspect at least once
each operating day:
(1) Above ground portions
of the tank system, if any, to detect corrosion or releases of waste.
(2) The construction materials and the area
immediately surrounding the externally accessible portion of the tank system,
including the secondary containment system (e.g., dikes) to detect erosion or
signs of releases of hazardous waste (e.g., wet spots, dead
vegetation).
(d) Owners
or operators of tank systems that either use leak detection systems to alert
facility personnel to leaks, or implement established workplace practices to
ensure leaks are promptly identified, must inspect at least weekly those areas
described in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this section. Use of the alternate
inspection schedule must be documented in the facility's operating record. This
documentation must include a description of the established workplace practices
at the facility.
(e)
[Reserved.]
(f) Ancillary equipment
that is not provided with secondary containment, as described in §
264.193(f)(1) through (4), must be inspected at least once each operating
day.
(g) The owner or operator must
inspect cathodic protection systems, if present, according to, at a minimum,
the following schedule to ensure that they are functioning properly:
(1) The proper operation of the cathodic
protection system must be confirmed within six months after initial
installation and annually thereafter; and
(2) All sources of impressed current must be
inspected and/or tested, as appropriate, at least bimonthly (i.e., every other
month).
[Note: The practices described in the National
Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) standard, "Recommended Practice
(RP-02-85)-Control of External Corrosion on Metallic Buried, Partially Buried,
or Submerged Liquid Storage Systems," and the American Petroleum Institute
(API) Publication 1632, "Cathodic Protection of Underground Petroleum Storage
Tanks and Piping Systems," may be used, where applicable, as guidelines in
maintaining and inspecting cathodic protection
systems.]
(h) The
owner or operator must document in the operating record of the facility an
inspection of those items in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this
section.
