Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 52, December 27, 2024
a)
Dispensing from a bulk tank into the tank of a motor vehicle is
prohibited.
b) Bulk facilities
(including any bulk storage, bulk plant or bulk load-out) located adjacent to
or at a motor fuel dispensing facility shall be separated from public fuel
dispensing areas by a fence or similar barrier from the area in which bulk
operations are conducted.
c)
Installations of piping to connect bulk storage to a UST at a motor fuel
dispensing facility permitted prior to July 1, 1985 shall comply with 41 Ill.
Adm. Code 160.15 and the following
requirements:
1) Any alteration of a UST
component at the bulk and motor fuel dispensing facilities shall require that
UST component be upgraded to current design, operating and other technical
requirements found in 41 Ill. Adm. Code 172, 174, 175 and 176.
2) Replacement of any UST piping shall
require that all UST piping associated and interconnected with the bulk and
motor fuel dispensing facilities and USTs be upgraded to current standards for
new piping, including requirements for double-wall piping equipped with
interstitial monitoring and all appropriate sumps (see 41 Ill. Adm. Code 172,
174, 175 and 176).
3) Replacement
of underground storage tanks at bulk and motor fuel dispensing facilities shall
require that the entire UST related to the tank replacement be upgraded to
standards for newly installed USTs (see 41 Ill. Adm. Code 172, 174, 175 and
176).
d) Existing Dual
Purpose USTs permitted after May 1, 2003. On or after May 1, 2003, connections
between a single bulk load-out and a single UST at a motor fuel dispensing
facility shall be allowed to remain if the UST and piping meets all technical
standards at the time of installation. Existing dual purpose USTs shall have
evidence of OSFM's written consent to operate.
e) New Installations of and New Conversions
to Dual Purpose USTs. On and after September 1, 2010, requests to connect new
and existing bulk load-outs to new or existing USTs located at motor fuel
dispensing facilities must be reviewed and approved by OSFM, and shall be
limited to a single underground storage tank connected to one or more
dispensers and a bulk load-out at the same time. Approval from OSFM shall
require an OSFM permit issued under 41 Ill. Adm. Code
175.300 prior to construction or
installation and shall be contingent upon, and require compliance with,
subsections (a), (b) and (c) and 41 Ill. Adm. Code 160, 172, 174, 175, 176, 177
and 180 and the following requirements:
1)
All product piping extensions at the motor fuel dispensing facility shall be
underground and be equipped with automatic line leak detectors (ALLDs) and meet
all other release detection requirements for UST piping;
2) The UST connected to any bulk load-out
shall be designed for the working pressures and volume of products to be
transferred and for the specific use and location;
3) Individual tanks shall not be
interconnected, siphoned or manifolded when serving as a dual purpose UST;
e.g., a dual purpose UST may not at the same time be connected to any other
tanks or USTs;
4) Product piping
shall not be routed under buildings;
5) Dispensers from which retail sales to the
public are made shall not be connected, directly or indirectly, to any tank for
which the total of all compartments is over 30,000 gallons capacity;
6) General Requirement that Dual Purpose USTs
Meet Requirements for Newly Installed USTs
A)
Dual purpose USTs shall meet all design and other UST technical requirements
for newly installed USTs, including:
i) design
requirements for tanks and piping (see 41 Ill. Adm. Code 175.Subpart D and
176.430(f))
;
ii) corrosion protection (see 41
Ill. Adm. Code 175.Subpart E); and
iii) release detection that also includes all
underground product piping extensions (see 41 Ill. Adm. Code 175.Subpart
F);
B) Dual purpose USTs
shall also be compatible with the product stored (see 41 Ill. Adm. Code
175.415), and meet all required
setbacks and separation distances (see 41 Ill. Adm. Code 175.Subpart D). When
an existing UST to be connected to a bulk load-out does not meet current
requirements for newly installed USTs, the UST must be upgraded to standards
for new installations at the time the connection to a bulk loadout is
made;
7) Deliveries from
the tank vehicle into vehicles at the motor fuel dispensing facility are
prohibited;
8) The service station
portion must comply with all requirements of 41 Ill. Adm. Code 172, 174, 175,
176, 177 and 180 applicable to service stations;
9) The bulk facility portion shall comply
with all applicable requirements of this Subpart and 41 Ill. Adm. Code 160,
172, 174, 175, 176, 177 and 180;
10) An OSFM permit shall be obtained prior to
connecting a new or existing bulk load-out to a new or existing UST at a motor
fuel dispensing facility.
