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, CT
HRP 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.
