A. Storage ianks <br />♦ There are 12 active tanks used to store light petroleum prod�cts, <br />petroleum distillate and aircraft f�ei. 4ther small tanks are used for <br />pipeline breakout {pop-off} and gasoiine additives. The large tar�ks were <br />constructed in �946 and are considered to have an indefinite iife when <br />maintained correctly. The tanks range in size from 966,000 galions to <br />3,570,�00 gallons. In normal operation, all ihe tanks average about 6Q% <br />of capacity. <br />♦ Amoco has never had a tank farm fre. The only incident was a water well <br />pump fiire in a smali metal building. They have had some ground water <br />contamination from tank spills. Ground wafer is cuRently being monitored <br />by 40 ground water wefls. Clean up is continuous. <br />♦ Alf of the 12 large tanks were cleaned, inspected and tested in the last six <br />years. A daie has not been sef for future testing. <br />♦ in 1992 and i 993 all the piping within the termina! area was replaced and <br />installed above ground so ihat leaks and spills are observed easiiy. <br />� None of the 12 farge #anks are protected by a built-in fire suppression <br />system. All tanks are surrounded by dikes which were surveyed in 1988 <br />and found tQ meet requir�d codes. <br />♦ There are about 1fi0 to 200 valves in the system, and each valve is <br />checked monthly to assure it can be operated easily. <br />♦ The tank and manifold areas are checked visually each day. <br />♦ The termina! has a water system for fire control. Hydrants are <br />strategically located. This water system is below grade and is tied in#o <br />tf�e Rosevil[e fre water system. <br />♦ Tank bottoms have been protec#ed cathodically since the 1960's or <br />1970's. Cathodic protection was upgraded in 9 990 and is monitored <br />regularly by a co�sultant. <br />♦ T�e small additive tanks were built in 1992. <br />B_ Load�ng Areas for Trucks <br />♦ Most of the product stored at this terminal is shipped out in tank trucks. In <br />1993, Amoco Oil Company built a new tank truck loading facility and <br />3-3 <br />
