Aboveground Storage Tank Removals,
Brunswick Naval Air Station
HRP prepared plans, specifications and construction cost estimate for the removal of forty 275-gallon above-ground fuel oil tanks. These tanks were replaced with 500-gallon above-ground diked tanks which were enclosed in a 8’ x 12’ one-story wood frame building attached to the existing garage.
This project is specifically located at the McKean Street Housing Area of the Naval Air Station. Special considerations were incorporated into the specifications due to the fact that the Housing Complex was fully occupied at all times. Also included in this project were various types of upgrades to eleven existing above-ground tanks ranging in size from 500 gallons to 5,000 gallons. Upgrades included spill buckets, piping sumps, piping secondary containment, and tank secondary containment.
Underground Storage Tank Evaluation & Upgrade,
City of New Britain, CTHRP Associates, Inc. was retained by the City of New Britain, CT to provide an evaluation of the underground storage tanks (USTs) owned by the City. HRP visited 14 sites and inspected twenty-eight tanks. The tanks contained gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, waste oil and wastewater.
HRP provided a detailed report regarding the compliance status, recommendations for bringing the tanks into compliance and plans and specifications for competitive bids to remove, replace or upgrade the USTs. In addition, HRP prepared Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans and reimbursement applications for the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection Leaking Underground Storage Tank Clean-Up Fund.
Underground Storage Tank Best Management Practices Plan, Hospital Complex
A Best Management Practices (BMP) plan was developed for operation and maintenance of underground petroleum storage tanks (UST). The hospital complex includes 49 buildings and 9 USTs. The tanks vary in size from 1000 gallons to 30,000 gallons and are used to store fuel oil, diesel and gasoline. A tank inventory was completed that identified the size, age and type of each tank. Release prevention and response equipment and procedures were identified for all tanks.
Practices were established for each tank including standard operating procedures for filling, monitoring and recordkeeping. Tightness testing requirements were determined and outlined in the plan for each type of tank and piping. Spill containment provisions were established and a training program was put in place. The plan was dove-tailed with the complex's SPCC plan.
