§ 1773.4. Tank Testing and Minimum Wall Thickness Requirements.
(d) In-service tanks shall be internally inspected and tested to determine bottom plate thickness no less than once every 20 years. In-service tanks that have not been internally inspected within the 20 years preceding the effective date of this section must be internally inspected within two years after the effective date of this section. A tank is exempt from this requirement if:
(g) A tank that is not repaired within 60 days of failing an inspection or test required by this section shall be taken out of service and designated as an Out-of-Service tank. The Supervisor or district deputy may grant one extension of up to 120 days if the operator shows to the satisfaction of the Supervisor or district deputy that there is no significant threat as a result of the extension.
(i) An operator may petition the Supervisor to allow a minimum tank wall or tanks bottom thicknesses that is lower than what is required in subdivisions (c) and (e) of this section. The Supervisor may grant such a petition if he or she is satisfied that based on the design and use of the tank a lower minimum thickness will ensure that the tank will operate as designed and will be capable of safely containing fluid.
