Implementation plan for Washington Administrative Code 173-360; Underground storage tank regulations

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6896189

The purpose of this implementation plan is fourfold: (1) It will describe the underground storage tanks (UST) at the Hanford Site currently regulated by the law; (2) it will define the programs currently planned and/or underway by the affected Hanford Site contractors to meet these regulations; (3) it will provide estimated costs of compliance with testing requirements for fiscal year (FY) 1992 and, in the out years, to FY 1995; and (4) it will, through dissemination of information, provide a common understanding of compliance issues by all landlords as well as provide the opportunity for landlord cooperation to achieve efficiency and minimize the costs of compliance. Two kinds of regulated USTs exist at the Hanford Site as defined by current regulations. Petroleum USTs comprise the majority of active and out-of-service tanks, and most of the regulations are geared toward them. USTs containing hazardous substances are also present at the Hanford Site and special requirements for them are addressed. The USTs containing radiological material are not addressed in this plan.
