As of December 1993, all petroleum underground storage tanks (USTs) must have adequate leak detection in place.  This 3 hour course provides information about the following methods that EPA has identified for UST owners and operators to use to meet federal leak detection requirements:  1) Secondary containment with interstitial monitoring,  2) Automatic tank gauging systems (including continuous ATG systems),  3) Vapor monitoring (including tracer compound analysis),  4) Groundwater monitoring,  5) Statistical inventory reconciliation,  6) Other methods meeting performance standards.

This 3 hour course is intended for, petroleum engineers, chemical engineers, geotechnical engineers environmental engineers, and civil engineers.  An attendee of this course will gain knowledge about the above six EPA identified methods for meeting federal UST leak detection requirements.

• Be familiar with the general Federal leak detection requirements for petroleum underground storage tanks and piping.
• Be familiar with secondary containment with interstitial monitoring, as a method for meeting federal petroleum UST leak detection requirements.
• Be familiar with automatic tank gauging (including continuous ATG systems), as a method for meeting federal petroleum UST leak detection requirements.
• Be familiar with vapor monitoring (including tracer compound analysis), as a method for meeting federal petroleum UST leak detection requirements.
• Be familiar with groundwater monitoring, as a method for meeting federal petroleum UST leak detection requirements.
• Be familiar with statistical inventory reconciliation, as a method for meeting federal petroleum UST leak detection requirements.
