S.D. Admin. R. 74:56:03:10 - AST system installation

All AST systems must be installed as follows:

(1) All AST systems must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and must be in accordance with codes of practice developed by nationally recognized associations or independent testing laboratories, such as API Standard 650 (1984), UL 142 (1985), or similar methods approved by the department;

(2) Precautions must be taken to prevent damage to the tank and piping coatings during installation. Any damage must be repaired according to the manufacturer's instructions;

(3) ASTs must be supported on well-drained, stable foundations which prevent movement, rolling, or settling of the tank and are designed to minimize corrosion of the tank bottoms;

(4) Metallic tanks and piping must meet the following cathodic protection requirements:

(a) Piping and bottoms of tanks which come in contact with the ground or an electrolyte must be cathodically protected with sacrificial anodes or an impressed current system which is designed, fabricated, and installed in accordance with codes of practice developed by nationally recognized associations or independent testing laboratories, such as NACE Standard RP-02-85, API Standard 1632 (1983), or similar methods approved by the department;

(b) The cathodic protection system must be designed to provide a minimum of 20 years of protection;

(c) A qualified engineer or corrosion expert must supervise the design or installation, or both, of the cathodic protection system;

(d) Each cathodic protection system must have a monitor or test station which enables the owners or operators to check on the adequacy of cathodic protection; and

(5) AST test procedures must be performed before the AST system is placed in operation. The tests must be conducted in accordance with codes of practice developed by nationally recognized associations or independent testing laboratories, such as API 510 (1983), API Standard 650 (1984), UL 142 (1985), or similar methods approved by the department.

All owners or operators must submit information demonstrating compliance with this section on the certification of compliance form.
