III. Inspections and Maintenance<br />

MDT conducts periodic visual inspections of all petroleum handling equipment. The purpose is<br />

to visually detect discharges and to repair faulty tank/piping equipment and appurtenances which<br />

could lead to a discharge of oil. The following monthly and annual checks of the facility’s<br />

petroleum storage systems and associated piping are performed:<br />

• Monthly Checks<br />

- Check tanks, piping, valves, hoses, meters, filters, and other fuel<br />

handling equipment for leaks and proper operation.<br />

- Immediately report any visible leaks, and repair/replace defective<br />

items as necessary.<br />

- Monitor the interstitial space of Tank 1.<br />

- Visually inspect exterior of each tank, drum, and secondary<br />

containment structures.<br />

- Check spill containment devices, liners, dispensers, and piping<br />

sumps for proper operation.<br />

• Annual Checks<br />

- Test the operation of all automated and mechanical liquid/leak level<br />

sensing systems.<br />
