Tank Leak Detection Tank leak detection is conducted by a Veeder Root TLS 300C automatic tank gauge (ATG), which performs static leak detection tests via probes in each compartment. Records of passing release detection tests were maintained onsite from August 2024 - July 2025. A record of annual operability testing for the ATG console and probes, dated July 17, 2025, was provided to EPA via email before the inspection.
Piping Leak Detection Piping at the Facility operates with safe suction; therefore, no release detection monitoring is required.
Cathodic Protection A Cathodic protection (CP) test record, dated July 2, 2024, was provided to EPA via email before the inspection. The test results are passing. The previous test record, dated March 19, 2021, is available in EPA records.
