Every station or facility is governed by local or federal regulations. Call our in-house experts for your specific requirements.
In Illinois: Cathodic Protection – Sacrificial Anodes, Overfill Protection Devices, Hydrostatic Containments (STP/Fill Sump, Spill Buckets, Under Dispenser Cabinet Sumps).
In Wisconsin: Hydrostatic Containments (STP/Fill Sump, Spill Buckets, Under Dispenser Cabinet Sumps).
In Illinois: every 3-years
In Wisconsin: every year
Inspectors will require cathodic protection when steel flexes or piping is in contact with water. A sacrificial anode will help protect the steel in the sumps and dispensers from corroding.
Helium testing is more cost effective and faster than digging up the whole station to find the leak which can cost anywhere from $20k-$100k.
You should check your CP Rectifier once a month and record your volts, amps and hours with the date the readings were taken.
A containment test is required if your station has interstitial monitoring system. If not, only spill buckets are required.
If you are monitored interstitially and built/upgraded after February 1, 2009, you are required to have positive shut down enabled on the line portion of the interstitially monitored system.
Note: Positive shut down is not required in Wisconsin with interstitially monitored facilities if the facility is “manned” 24 hrs per day 7 days a week and there is an attendant available to respond to any alarms on the ATG monitor.
