This book was released on 1989 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel tanks have been used for underground storage of petroleum products and derivatives for about 30 years. The oldest tanks have now exceeded their design life and product leaks related to corrosion problems are increasing. The length of the tank's life is one of several factors which could result in a petroleum product leak, which can contaminate soil and water in the immediate surroundings. This report summarizes the different recovery and treatment techniques applicable to hydrocarbon contaminated soil and water due to tank leaks. Detection and prevention are briefly discussed and some examples of available equipment are given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaking underground storage tanks that contain hazardous products, primarily gasoline, can contaminate soil & groundwater. To address this problem, the EPA required tank owners to install leak detection equipment & take measures to prevent leaks. In 1986, the Congress created a federal trust fund to assist states with cleanups. Cleanup progress has been made, but, as of early 2005, cleanup efforts had not yet begun for over 32,000 tanks. The report identified: (1) data on the number & cleanup status of leaking tanks; (2) funding sources for tank cleanups; & (3) processes used by 5 states with large numbers of leaking tanks -- Calif., Maryland, Mich., N. Carolina, & Penna. -- to identify, assess, & clean up sites. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remediation of Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST) is estimated to cost more than $41 billion in the United States. As of May 1992, 1.5 million Underground Storage Tanks were registered in USA. By September 1992, 184,000 confirmed releases (leaks) were reported in USA. Due to such a vast impact on the environment due to leaking USTS, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) published final UST regulations in the Federal Register on September 23,1988 (40CFR Part 280) which affected almost every commercial underground storage tank (UST). In a rush to comply with UST regulations, it is important that sufficient attention has been paid to engineering aspects of the work. Due to wide array of UST leak prevention and detection products available, selection of appropriate instrumentation can be time consuming. Most states have taken federal government standards on USTs and incorporated them as state regulations with their state specific modifications depending on their local geological conditions and environmental priorities. However, it is important to find out that state's UST program has been approved by USEPA. This paper consists of discussion of issues based on the author's UST project related experience from current and previous employment. Following are the major UST related regulatory topics discussed in this paper: Specifications;Hiring a contractor; Piping Selection and Installation; UST Selection and Installation; Leak Detection System Environmental Sampling.
