Written for current tank owners and those considering aboveground tank storage, this expanded handbook provides practical guidance for designing, building, managing, operating, and maintaining an aboveground tank system that meets your storage needs and complies with all federal and state codes and regulations. In addition to completely updating the regulatory programs, technologies, and inspection methods, this edition provides a comprehensive look at Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plans that include new information on inspections and maintenance, new techniques and technologies for addressing SPCC planning, and new EPA interpretations of SPCC requirements. Other sections of this book cover such topics as structural and engineering concepts, piping and product handling systems, leak monitoring and containment, inspection and maintenance programs, hazardous wastes, and tank management planning. Special features include a summary of state programs (for those that have them) and six appendices. The appendices contain sample aboveground tank specifications, a sample SPCC plan, an audit protocol for facilities with SPCC plans, and inspection checklists.

Trust NFPA 30's protocols to minimize the hazards of flammable and combustible liquids. Adopted by most states and enforceable under OSHA, NFPA 30: Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code presents the best guidance on the safe storage, handling, and use of dangerous liquids. It provides the criteria you need to design facilities for better protection, comply with sprinkler rules, and use safe operating practices. Changes and additions in the 2003 edition affect: * Siting of storage tanks * Spill control, normal breather vents, and emergency relief vents for storage tanks * Design of liquids storage cabinets, inside storage areas, and liquid warehouses * Sprinkler design rules for storage of all types of liquids * And more When you work with flammable and combustible liquids, even a seemingly minor oversight or mistake can have major repercussions. Don't compromises safety--insist on NFPA 30!

Oil leaks from aboveground tanks have contaminated soil and water, threatening human health and wildlife. To prevent damage from oil spills, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule in 1973. EPA¿s 10 regions inspect oil storage facilities to ensure compliance with the rule. EPA estimates that about 571,000 facilities are subject to this rule. Some states also regulate oil storage tanks. This report determines: (1) how EPA regions implement the SPCC program; (2) the data EPA has to implement and evaluate the program; and (3) whether some states¿ tank programs suggest ways for EPA to improve its program. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
