Section 613-5.2 - General installation, operation, and maintenance requirements(a)Installation requirements. (1)UST systems. Components of UST systems must meet the requirements of subdivision 2.2(a) of this Part, with the exception of ASTs, which must meet the requirements of subdivision 4.2(a) of this Part.(2)AST systems. Components of AST systems must meet the requirements of subdivision 4.2(a) of this Part, with the exception of USTs, which must meet the requirements of subdivision 3.2(a) of this Part.(b)As-built information records. An accurate facility diagram that includes the information specified under subdivision 2.2(a) of this Part for components of UST systems (with the exception of ASTs), must be maintained until the facility has been permanently closed.(c)Compatibility with biofuel blends. (1) The operator and tank system owner must be able to demonstrate compatibility of every component of a hydrant system storing petroleum containing either greater than ten percent ethanol or greater than 20 percent biodiesel, using one of the following documents: (i) a certification or listing of the tank system component by a nationally recognized, independent testing laboratory for use with the stored biofuel blend; or(ii) a written statement of compatibility from the tank system component manufacturer. The manufacturer's statement must be in writing, indicate an affirmative statement of compatibility, and specify the range of biofuel blends with which the equipment or component is compatible.(2)Recordkeeping. Records required by this subdivision must be maintained until the hydrant system is permanently closed in accordance with section 5.6 of this Subpart.(d)Spill and overfill prevention.(1)UST systems. UST systems must meet the requirements of subdivision 2.2(d) of this Part, with the exception of ASTs, which must meet the requirements of subdivision 4.2(d) of this Part.(2)AST systems. AST systems must meet the requirements of subdivision 4.2(d) of this Part, with the exception of USTs, which must meet the requirements of subdivision 3.2(d) of this Part.(e)Periodic inspection of overfill prevention equipment. Overfill prevention equipment associated with USTs that are part of UST systems must meet requirements of subdivision 2.2(e) of this Part.(f)Periodic monitoring/testing of fill port catch basins and containment sumps used for interstitial monitoring of piping. Fill port catch basins and containment sumps used for interstitial monitoring of piping that are associated with USTs that are part of UST systems, must meet the requirements of subdivision 2.2(f) of this Part.(g)Leak detection equipment periodic testing. Leak detection equipment associated with components of UST systems must meet the requirements of subdivision 2.2(g) of this Part, with the exception of such equipment associated with ASTs.(h)Periodic operation and maintenance walkthrough inspections. (1)UST systems. (i) Walkthrough inspections must be performed for UST systems in accordance with subdivision 2.2(h) of this Part. The inspections must also check the following equipment either every 30 days or annually (if confined space entry is required according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration): (a)Hydrant pits. Visually check for damage; remove liquid and debris; and check for leaks.(b)Hydrant piping vaults. Check for leaks.(ii) The requirements of subparagraph (i) of this paragraph do not apply to ASTs, and fill port catch basins, leak detection equipment, and containment sumps, that are associated with ASTs. Such equipment must be inspected in accordance with subdivision 4.2(h) of this Part.(2)AST systems. Walkthrough inspections must be performed for AST systems in accordance with subdivision 4.2(h) of this Part, with the exception of USTs.(i)Operation and maintenance of corrosion protection. (1)UST systems. Metal components of UST systems must meet the requirements of subdivision 2.2(i) of this Part, with the exception of ASTs, which must meet the requirements of subdivision 4.2(i) of this Part.(2)AST systems. Metal components of AST systems must meet the requirements of subdivision 4.2(i) of this Part, with the exception of USTs, which must meet the requirements of subdivision 3.2(i) of this Part.(j)Repairs and modifications. (1)UST systems. Repairs and modifications to UST systems must meet the requirements of subdivision 2.2(j) of this Part, with the exception of those made to ASTs, which must meet the requirements of subdivision 4.2(j) of this Part.(2)AST systems. Repairs and modifications to AST systems must meet the requirements of subdivision 4.2(j) of this Part, with the exception of those made to USTs, which must meet the requirements of subdivision 3.2(j) of this Part.(k)Hydrant systems in locations subject to flooding. (1) For Category 1 or 2 tanks located in an area where the tank may become buoyant because of a rise in the water table, flooding, or accumulation of water, safeguards must be maintained in accordance with section 2-5.6 of NFPA 30 (1984 edition). If such safeguards include ballasting of a tank with water during flood warning periods, tank system valves and other openings must be closed and secured in a locked position in advance of the flood. Ballast water removed from the tank after the flood must not be discharged to the waters of the State unless the discharge is in conformance with the standards of Parts 701, 702, 703, and 750 of this Title, as applicable.(2) For Category 3 tanks located in an area where the tank may become buoyant because of a rise in the water table, flooding or accumulation of water from fire suppression operations, uplift protection must be provided in accordance with Sections 22.14 and 23.14 of NFPA 30 (2012 edition).(l)Stormwater management. Stormwater which collects within the secondary containment of ASTs must be controlled by a manually operated pump or siphon, or a gravity drain pipe which has a manually controlled dike valve on the outside of the dike. All pumps, siphons and valves must be properly maintained and kept in good condition. If gravity drain pipes are used, all dike valves must be locked in a closed position except when the operator is in the process of draining clean water from the diked area. Stormwater or any other discharge at a facility must be uncontaminated and free of sheen prior to discharge. Stormwater which is contaminated must not be discharged to the waters of the State unless the discharge is in conformance with the standards of Parts 701, 702, 703, and 750 of this Title, as applicable.N.Y.
