(1) Permanent
vehicle collision protection shall be provided for any new or existing tank or
system component that could result in a release of product when damaged, in any
area where impact due to speed, turning, or backing of any type of motorized or
self-propelled vehicle is likely to occur, except for tanks covered in ss.
ATCP 93.610(1) to (3) and
93.630.
Note: Sections
ATCP 93.610(1) to (3) and 93.630 cover
tank wagons, movable tanks, tank vehicles, and aboveground farm tanks.
Note: Vehicle collision protection is required
for tanks located outside or inside a building in motorized-vehicle or
self-propelled-equipment traffic areas, where impact resulting from vehicle
speed, turning or backing is a risk factor. For example, vehicle collision
protection is required for tanks located adjacent to traffic areas that
accommodate public and fleet fueling, service and delivery vehicles,
self-propelled construction and service equipment, and forklift
equipment.
(2) At least 24
inches of clearance shall be provided between a vehicle impact barrier and the
tank or system component to be protected.
(3) Impact barriers shall be designed to
protect the tank or component from impact damage by the force of the largest
vehicle routinely in the traffic area traveling at 5 miles per hour or at the
average traveling speed, if higher than 5 miles per hour, except as provided in
sub. (4).
(4)
(a) For impact barriers designed primarily to
protect from the impact of automobiles, the portion determined to be most
vulnerable to vehicle impact shall be capable of withstanding a single impact
of 12,000-lb force applied at 10 miles per hour or equivalent impact
energy.
(b) The impact shall be
applied using a minimum 0.5-inch thick steel plate having a frontal surface
area of 12 inches by 12 inches centered at 18 inches above grade.
Note: For many applications, the department
will accept either D.O.T. guardrails or 4-inch steel posts filled with
concrete, set at least 3 feet into the ground and spaced no more than 4 feet on
center.
(5)
Vehicle impact barriers shall have a minimum height of 3 feet above
grade.
