Section 165:15-3-24.3 - UST inspections at farms

In addition to the general requirements for all facilities, Fuel Specialists must inspect items particular to farm underground storage tank systems.

(1)Leak detection. Because the primary purpose of the Commission's regulation of farm tanks over 1,100 gallons is to prevent leaks, the farmer must select some form of leak detection. Any leak detection method referenced in Chapter 25 of Commission rules may be used. Fuel Specialists will check manual tank gauging records to ensure the monthly standards are not exceeded. If the standards are exceeded, there is most likely a leak in the tank which shall be reported to a Commission Project Environmental Analyst at (405) 521-4683 (if after hours or on weekends or holidays, call the PSTD emergency number at (405) 823-0994) within 24 hours of the owner or any of his or her employees knowing the gauging results.

(2)Cathodic protection. The Fuel Specialist must ensure, for any metal tanks or piping, that cathodic protection is installed and in proper working order.

(3)Electrical requirements. Fuel Specialists will ensure that all electrical equipment meets the requirements of NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code, as it applies to wet, damp and hazardous conditions, or other approved local code, and is suitable for the locations in which it is installed.
