Current through September 21, 2024
(a)
Inspection and Right of Entry. Any authorized agent of the
State of Wyoming has the right of entry for inspection, assessments and
corrective actions in accordance with the provisions of
W.S.
35-11-1422.
(b)
Reporting. Owners and/or
operators of storage tank systems shall cooperate fully with inspections,
monitoring, and testing conducted by the department, as well as requests by the
department for the following document submission(s), testing, and monitoring
information:
(i) Notification for all storage
tank systems (Section 9), which includes certification of installation for new
storage tank systems (Section 6(e) for USTs and Part I for ASTs);
(ii) Reports of all releases including
suspected releases (Section 19), spills and overfills (Section 22), and
confirmed releases (Sections 23 through 25);
(iii) A notification before permanent
closure, change of status, or change-in-service Part G);
(iv) Owners and/or operators eligible for the
state corrective action program shall comply with the requirements contained in
Section 25.
(v) Owners and/or
operators not eligible for the state corrective action program shall comply
with the requirements contained in Section 24.
(vi) Owners and/or operators shall cooperate
fully with inspections, including providing access to all manholes, dispenser
cabinets, CP rectifiers, and tank monitoring equipment. Compliance with this
section will require that owners and/or operators open manholes and other
access points so that DEQ inspectors may see the condition of all
equipment.
(c)
Recordkeeping. Owners and/or operators shall submit the
following information to the department:
(i)
Documentation of operation of CP Systems (Section 11);
(ii) Documentation of storage tank system
repairs (Section 8);
(iii)
Compliance with release detection requirements (Section 14 through 18 for USTs
and Sections 36 and 37 for ASTs); and
(iv) Results of the site investigation
conducted at permanent closure and changes in service (Section 31
).
(d)
Availability and maintenance of records. Owners and/or
operators of UST systems shall keep the records required either:
(i) At the storage tank site and immediately
available for inspection by the department; or
(ii) At a readily available alternate site
and be provided for inspection to the department, upon request. The readily
available alternative site shall be within the boundaries of the State of
Wyoming. If records are to be kept at an alternate site, the department shall
be notified in writing of the name, address and telephone number for that
alternate facility.
(e)
Operator's Annual Inspection. Storage tank system owners
and/or operators shall provide an annual report of inspection for the entire
facility. An annual inspection is to be conducted either by the owner, the
operator, or a qualified consultant. The inspector shall meet all of the
qualifications as a CP tester if he or she inspects a CP system. This
inspection shall:
(i) test all of the CP
systems on site which are due for testing in accordance with Section
11;
(ii) provide for pressure tests
of pressurized piping or U.S. Suction piping in accordance with Section
14(g);
(iii) test all Automatic
Line Leak Detectors as follows:
(A) provide a
simulated leak test for Mechanical Line Leak Detectors that will demonstrate
that the leak detector meets the requirements of Section 14(g).
(B) for Electronic Line Leak Detectors a
simulated leak is required that demonstrates that the leak detector meets the
requirements of Section 14(g). An internal electrical test of the system is not
sufficient to meet this requirement.
(C) When sump sensors are used to meet the
requirement for an Automatic Line Leak Detector, they shall be configured to
meet the requirements of Section 14(g) and the annual inspection shall include
a manual tripping of each sump sensor. The automatic device used to monitor
sump sensors shall be triggered by the manual tripping of the sensors, and a
record shall be made showing the date when the test was done, the facility
number, and recording the fact that the sensor operated as
required.
(iv) document
that all Automatic Tank Gauges (ATG), interstitial monitoring systems, vapor
monitoring systems, or other automatic systems are properly calibrated and
functioning. This includes a check to determine if probes are clean and are the
proper ones for the regulated substance being stored.
(v) provide an annual summary for all
inventory control calculations, statistical inventory reconciliation reports,
or other leak detection methods which shows compliance for each month of the
preceding year. Records of the operation of all leak detection systems for the
past three (3) years are required to be kept.
(vi) include a physical inspection of all
sumps, manholes, dispensers, and other openings provided on the storage tank
system. Any leaks found shall be immediately eliminated.
