8.7.2 Pipeline Out of Service [40 CFR 112.8(d)(2)]
Pipelines not in service or in standby for extended periods are capped or blank flanged and
marked as to their origin. UST fill and vent pipes are capped and locked when not in use.
8.7.3 Pipe Supports [40 CFR 112.8(d)(3)]
Pipe supports are properly designed and constructed to minimize abrasion and corrosion and to
allow for expansion and contraction. All pipe supports for the heating oil tanks are designed to
minimize abrasion and corrosion and to allow for expansion and contraction. Numerous bollards
that surround the concrete pad of the AST protect the pipes.
8.7.4 Aboveground Valves and Pipelines [40 CFR 112.8(d)(4)]
Periodic inspections are performed to ensure the integrity of the aboveground valves and piping.
The Facilities Engineering Division examines all aboveground pipelines and valves and will
schedule pressure testing when warranted.
8.7.5 Aboveground Piping Protection from Vehicular Traffic [40 CFR 112.8(d)(5)]
Aboveground piping is present from the fuel unloading headers Fuel Farm. Appropriate signs at
the fuel unloading area alert drivers to the pipes’ presence and helps drivers to avoid striking the
aboveground piping.
8.8 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE [9 VAC 25-91-170 A.20]
Preventive maintenance procedures at MTC-Fort Pickett include the inspection and maintenance of
all oil storage and transfer equipment and vehicles to prevent oil leaks or discharges. The facility
regularly inspects and tests the critical equipment to ensure the safe operation of the oil storage and
handling systems. These inspections will uncover conditions such as cracks or slow leaks that could
cause breakdowns or failures that result in an oil discharge. This program reduces breakdowns and
failures by making proper adjustments, repair, or replacement of equipment or parts. A complete
set of the manufacturer’s specifications and operating instructions are maintained on-site.
Additional vehicle and equipment inspections and preventive maintenance are completed
according to Army regulations based on usage (hours or mileage) or time. If inspections of
equipment indicate the presence of a potential problem that may cause a release, repairs will be
made irrespective of the scheduled time.
The facility USTs utilized for heating oil storage are exempt from federal and state UST tank
testing requirements.
