INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN Maneuver Training Center

With the exception of a 550-gallon aboveground storage tank for gasoline located at MATES
and a 500-gallon AST for diesel at Station 2, all fuel dispensing stations store fuel within USTs.
Mobility fuel (fuel dispensed to ground transportation vehicles) USTs are located either in
conjunction with maintenance facilities or service stations or are located at the Central Fueling
Station #1 (Building 2474), Vehicle Fueling Station #2 (Building 1800), Vehicle Fueling Station
#3 (Building 2870), and MATES (Buildings 134, 142, and 147).
MATES, FPTM and Logistics will instruct all drivers to chock their vehicle’s wheels and ground
the trailer before loading or off-loading fuel. MATES uses one 2,500-gallon tanker truck to
move fuel from the USTs to the different Organizational In-Storage Maintenance Shops. FPTM
uses a 600-gallon tanker truck to fuel numerous pump stations across MTC-Fort Pickett.
Logistics uses a 2,500-gallon tanker truck for emergency transport of fuel. The MATES and
FPTM facility and Logistics parks these trucks inside a secondary containment berm when not in
use. The Facilities Engineering Division has a 500-gallon mobile tank that is used to pump out
water from underground and aboveground storage tanks. This double-walled steel tank is kept
empty at all times when not in use.
7.12.6 Vehicle Maintenance Facilities/Service Stations
Commercial vendors supply mobility fuel to the underground storage tanks using tanker trucks
with capacities as high as 7,500-gallons. These tankers typically contain at least three
compartments of 2,500, 3,500 and 1000-gallons each. Most JP-8 tankers that deliver fuel have a
single compartment of 7,500 gallons. When off-loading the fuel, these tanker trucks park
directly over the receiving USTs and gravity-feed the fuel into the tanks. The wheels of the
vehicle will be chocked and the grounding wire will be attached to prevent static electricity.
MTC-Fort Pickett Logistics will be at the service stations to supervise off-loading of fuel. The
Central Fueling Station #1, Building 2474 was designed with secondary containment for transfer
operations. Vehicle Fueling Stations #2 and #3 must have a secondary containment structure
setup in place before gravity drop of fuel can commence.
7.13 INVENTORY CONTROL PROCEDURES [9 VAC 25-91-170 A.17]
The requirements of 9 VAC 25-91-130 B state that 62.1-44 34:15.1 of the Code of Virginia specify
requirements for existing aboveground storage tanks at facilities with an aggregate aboveground
storage capacity of less than one million gallons but equal to or more than 25,000 gallons of oil.
Each operator shall institute inventory control procedures capable of detecting a significant variation
of inventory, which shall be considered a variation in excess of 1.0% of the storage capacity of each
individual AST. VAARNG has instituted inventory control procedures capable of detecting a
significant variation of inventory in excess of 1%. The reconciliation measurement procedures are
as follows:
