EPA Issues Low Liquid Level Sump Testing Procedures
The U.S. EPA’s Office of Underground Storage Tanks (OUST) has issued guidance for alternative low-level hydrostatic testing for UST containment sumps used as secondary containment for piping. The guidance helps state UST program regulators implement the EPA’s 2015 underground storage tank regulatory amendments requiring periodic testing and inspection. PMAA develop this test as an inexpensive alternative to the EPA’s hydrostatic test method for containment sumps which requires costly high-level liquid testing. Publication of the EPA guidance is important because it clears the way for PMAA’s alternative test method to be approved for use by state UST program regulators.
Procedures Available Here. ADEQ is in the process of developing Low Level Sump Testing guidance for Arizona.
