<strong>ITALY</strong> - 9 Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants<br />
C9.2.7. POL Facility. An installation with either:<br />
C9.2.7.1. An aggregate aboveground storage container capacity (excluding below<br />
ground storage containers) of ≥ 5,000 liters (1,320 gallons); or<br />
C9.2.7.2. An aggregate below ground storage container capacity of ≥ 159,091 liters<br />
(42,000 gallons); or<br />
C9.2.7.3. A pipeline facility as identified in the definition above.<br />
C9.2.8. POL Storage Container. POL containers with capacities > 208 liters (55 gallons)<br />
(mobile/portable and fixed; and above and below ground storage containers). USTs required to<br />
meet all requirements of Chapter 19 are EXCLUDED from the definition of POL storage<br />
containers.<br />
C9.3. CRITERIA<br />
C9.3.1. Applicability. The below criteria apply only at POL Facilities as defined above.<br />
C9.3.2. General POL Storage Container Criteria<br />
C9.3.2.1. Inspection and Testing. Inspection and testing shall be conducted on all POL<br />
storage containers in accordance with recognized industry standards.<br />
C9.3.2.2. Secondary Containment. POL storage containers must be provided with a<br />
secondary means of containment (e.g., dike) capable of holding the entire contents of the largest<br />
single tank plus sufficient freeboard to allow for precipitation and expansion of product.<br />
Alternatively, POL storage containers that are equipped with adequate technical spill and leak<br />
prevention options (such as overfill alarms and flow shutoff or restrictor devices) may provide<br />
secondary containment by use of a double wall container. Below ground storage containers may<br />
meet this criterion by use of a leak barrier with a leak detection pipe and basin. A licensed<br />
technical authority may waive this secondary containment criteria for below ground storage<br />
containers.<br />
C9.3.2.3. Permeability. Permeability for containment areas will be a maximum of 10 -7<br />
cm/sec.<br />
C9.3.2.4. Containment Area Drainage. Drainage of stormwater from containment areas<br />
will be controlled by a valve that is locked closed when not in active use. Stormwater will be<br />
inspected for petroleum sheen before being drained from containment areas. If a petroleum sheen<br />
is present it must be collected with sorbent materials prior to drainage, or treated using an oilwater<br />
separator. Disposal of sorbent material exhibiting the hazardous characteristics in Table<br />
5.1 of Chapter 5, “Hazardous Materials” will be in accordance with Chapter 6, “Hazardous<br />
Waste.”<br />
