and Mr.
provided the records for
Tank Release Detection
Releases from the tanks are detected by a Veeder Root TLS-450 monitoring system and associated in-tank probes that conduct automatic tank gauging (ATG) of the tanks. Continuous statistical leak detection (CSLD) tests passed for Tank 1 and Tank 2 during the previous 12 months. Photograph #2 in Attachment B shows the monitoring system interface. Attachment C contains a compilation of the ATG CSLD leak test results for the last 12 months. Attachment D contains a passing test record for the ATG system performed by a contractor in October 2023.
The submersible turbine pump (STP) sumps, dispenser sumps, and interstitial space of both Tank 1 and Tank 2 are equipped with liquid sump sensors. A liquid sensor functionality test was performed in October 2023 and showed that the sensors for the STP sumps, dispenser sumps, and interstitial space for both Tank 1 and Tank 2 are in good operating condition. The liquid sump sensors for the USTs were observed at the base of each STP sump and dispenser sump. The liquid sump sensor status for each tank is included in attachment C for the past 12 months which showed the status was normal except for October 2023 which was not provided during the inspection. Photographs #4 and #6 show the STP sumps for Tank 1 and Tank 2 with liquid sump sensors. The tanks were installed in October 2022 and integrity tests of the STP and dispenser containment sumps have not yet been conducted.
Piping Release Detection
All tanks were installed with pressurized double-walled flexible plastic piping. Ms. Forsmark observed electronic automatic line leak detectors (ALLDs) on the STPs during the inspection. American Electric performed a line leak detector performance test in October 2023. Attachment D includes the passing testing records for the leak detectors.
Spill/Overfill Prevention
Spill and overfill prevention equipment tests were not provided. The tanks were installed in October 2022 and spill bucket tests have not yet been conducted. Photographs #3 and #5 in Attachment B show the fill ports for Tank 1 and Tank 2. During the physical inspection, butterfly valves were noted in the fill pipes.
Corrosion Protection
According to facility documentation and observations, both tanks are jacketed with FRP and the piping is flexible plastic; therefore, corrosion protection is not required.
Operator Training
Certificates for the Class A and B operator were available during the inspection. Mr.
is

Walkthrough Inspections
Records of the monthly and annual walkthrough inspections were available and completed. The monthly and annual walkthrough inspections are included in Attachment E.
Financial Assurance
In South Dakota, financial coverage for owners/operators of regulated USTs is provided through
the South Dakota Petroleum Release Compensation Fund. Mr.
had a copy of the letter
from the state indicating facility coverage. They are self-insured for the deductible. Attachment F
includes the letter indicating financial coverage and self-insurance for SD DOT Eagle Butte.
Physical Inspection
During the site visit, Ms.
reviewed documents onsite and observed the fill ports, STP
sumps, both of the dispensers and associated dispenser sumps, and the ATG monitoring interface
for the two USTs onsite. Photograph #2 in Attachment B shows the interface for Veeder Root
TLS-450 Plus ATG system. Ms.
observed the spill bucket and fill pipe for the two
USTs. The spill buckets for Tank 1 and Tank 2 were dry and in good condition at the time of the
inspection. Ms.
also observed the STP sumps for each of the two USTs. Both STP
sumps were dry, ALLDs were observed on the STPs, and the sump sensors were observed at the
bottom of the sumps. Photographs #4 and #6 in Attachment B show the STP sumps and
associated components for Tanks 1 and 2.
The facility has two double-sided pump dispensers, and both were opened as part of the
inspection. The dispensers are equipped with sumps dispenser liquid sump sensors were
observed within each dispenser sump. Ms.
did not observe signs of leaks at the time of
the inspection. Photographs #7 through #10 in Attachment B show the piping and sumps beneath
each dispenser.
No monitoring wells were observed at the tank field during the inspection. Vent lines are located north of the USTs against one of the garages. No obstructions or concerns were noted for the vent lines at the time of the inspection.

2. SUMMARY
The facility has two USTs installed in October 2022. Tank 1 has a 2,500-gallon capacity,
contains unleaded gasoline fuel, and is double-walled composite (steel with FRP jacket)
construction. Tank 2 has a 3,000-gallon capacity, contains diesel fuel, and is double-walled
composite (steel with FRP jacket) construction. Passing monthly monitoring leak detection test
records were available for the previous 12 months for Tank 1 and Tank 2, except for October
2023 which was missing. The facility representative provided the Notification for Underground
Storage Tanks installed following the previous EPA Inspection, included as Attachment G. The
annual certification for the ATG system was provided during the inspection. There are two
double-sided dispensers on site that operate with pressurized flexible plastic piping, and each
dispenser has a containment sump. The STPs had ALLDs and the STP sumps were equipped
with liquid sump sensors which were observed at the bottom of each sump. The liquid sump
sensor status for each tank was not provided for October 2023 during the inspection. The fill port
for each UST is equipped with a spill bucket and a butterfly valve in the drop tube as the spill
and overfill prevention equipment. Testing records were not provided for the spill buckets or
butterfly valves during the inspection. Cathodic protection testing records were not required as
the tanks are composite steel with FRP jacket and the piping was flexible plastic. The facility has
