                   Tens of thousands of underground storage
                   tank (UST) systems in Kentucky contain
                   petroleum products or hazardous chemicals.
             More than 36,000 tanks are currently registered, and
             leaks have been confirmed in more than 7,000 of
             these USTs, including their piping. More leaks are
             likely to occur in the future.

             Leaking underground storage tanks can cause fires
             or explosions that threaten human safety. In addi-
             tion, leaking USTs can contaminate nearby
             groundwater, which is the primary drinking water
             source for 90 percent of Kentucky's rural population
             and 50 percent of all Kentuckians. Because so many
             of us in Kentucky and the nation depend on ground-
             water, state and federal laws and regulations for
             UST systems were enacted to safeguard our ground-
             water resources.

             The federal regulations (40 CFR 280, subparts A
             through H) cover leak detection, site investigations,
             corrective action, closure, inspections, recordkeeping
             and reporting, and "new tank" performance stan-
             dards. Kentucky's laws that govern UST systems
             are KRS 224.60-100 through 60-160. State regula-
             tions, which became effective as early as 1986 and
             were last amended in 1990, include 401 KAR 42:011
             through 42:200.

             This booklet is designed to help UST owners and
             operators understand the requirements.
More than 90 percent of rural
    Kentuckians depend on
  groundwater for drinking.

What is an underground storage
tank system?	

        An underground storage tank system is any
        tank, including underground piping con-
        nected to the tank, that has at least 10
 percent of its volume underground. The regulations
 apply only to UST systems that have stored or are
 storing either petroleum products or hazardous
 substances.
Exceptions
Some tanks are excluded from Kentucky and federal
UST regulation. They are:
    farm and residential tanks of 1,100 gallons or less
    capacity storing motor fuel used for non-com-
    mercial purposes;
    tanks used for storing heating oil for consump-
    tive use on the premises where they are stored;
    tanks on or above the floor of underground
    areas, such as vaults, basements or tunnels that
    can be visually inspected;
    septic tanks and systems for collecting
    stormwater and wastewater;
    flow-through process tanks;
    tanks that are 110 gallons or  less;
    emergency spill and overfill  tanks; and
    tanks properly closed prior to Jan. 1,1974.

-------
Proper closure means the tank was closed according
to the State Fire Marshal's requirements. Official
documentation of this activity must be maintained
by the tank owner.

Many facilities, such as fire stations, taxi companies,
schools, delivery companies and police stations,
have UST systems of less than 1,100 gallons that are
used to fuel their vehicle fleets.  These facilities must
meet state and federal compliance requirements
because they cannot be classified as farms or resi-
dences.
Registration and fee requirements


       The first requirement for a regulated UST
       owner or operator is to register the tank(s) at
       each facility or location with the Division of
Waste Management.  A unique identification num-
ber will then be assigned to each location to be used
throughout its life.  Each registered facility is noti-
fied by letter of the ID number.

When a change of ownership of a UST system
occurs, the new owner is required to submit an
amended notification form to the Division of Waste
Management within 30 days of purchase. The ID
number originally assigned will remain the same.

Annual registration fees are $30 per tank and are
billed in July of each year. For more information,
contact the Division of Waste Management, UST
Administrative Section, 14 Reilly Road, Frankfort,
Kentucky 40601, or call (502) 564-6716.

NOTE:  If you have registered one of the unregulated USTs,
write to the address above and explain the use of the tank. The
UST system may be regulated by another program in the
Department for Environmental Protection.

Leak detection for tanks  	

         Apriority of UST compliance regulations is
         to prevent leaks from tanks and piping
         resulting from corrosion or structural
failure in the system. This is achieved by complying
with leak detection, corrosion protection and spill
and overfill prevention requirements. These items
form the framework for UST compliance regula-
tions.

The U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency estab-
lished compliance dates for leak detection
requirements based on the age of the tank. Because
older tanks are generally more prone to leak, all
tanks installed in 1979 and before must have com-
plied with leak detection requirements by Dec. 22,
1992. Tanks installed from 1980-1988 have until Dec.
22,1993,  to comply with leak detection require-
ments. Those tanks installed after Dec. 22,1988 are
defined as "new tanks" and must have a variety of
leak/spill prevention measures when installed.
      If the tank was
      installed...
                               It must have leak
                               detection by
                               Dec.22of...

1975 -1979 ......,................. :'...-• 1992
1980- December 1988 ............1,.... 1993
There are a variety of approved methods for leak
detection.  Owners or operators are required to
maintain leak detection records for one year, and
these records will be examined during compliance
inspections. A summary of each method follows.

-------
1.  Monthly Inventory Control - a method that
involves daily "tank sticking", with an unworn stick
to the nearest 1/8 inch, using tank conversion charts
calibrated in 1/8 inches and monthly reconciliation
or comparison of the daily "overages or shortages."
If the total monthly overage or shortage exceeds 1
percent + 130 gallons of the total monthly
flowthrough volume (sum of monthly pump read-
ing or total amount of product delivered), then a
leak may exist. The owner or operator must gauge
for water in the tank at least once a month and       i
record it to 1 / 8 inch.                              |
This method of leak detection will not be allowed
after Dec. 22,1998, or 10 years after a facility is
upgraded, whichever is later. Inventory control
must also be used with an annual tank tightness test
or a tank tightness test every five years for upgraded
systems. Two consecutive "leak" months must be
reported as a suspected release.

2.  Manual Tank Gauging - involves weekly "stick-
ing," with an unworn stick to the nearest 1/8 inch,
before and after measurements are recorded over a
36-hour period where no product is added or re- .
moved. It may be used as the sole method for leak
detection for tanks that are 1,000 gallons or less.
Tanks of 1,000-2,000 gallons may use this method in
conjunction with annual tank tightness testing.
Pressurized piping for tanks of this size requires
annual tightness testing and line leak detectors.

3.  Automatic Tank Gauging - a monthly monitor-
ing method using electronic probes and equipment
to yield automatic data on a tank's product volume,
temperature, etc.  This method requires monthly
monitoring and periodic maintenance.

4.   Vapor Monitoring - a monthly monitoring
 method using wells installed at a UST site to moni-

-------
tor for leaks by comparing monitoring well vapors
to normal or "background" well vapors. A site
assessment must be performed before wells are
installed to ensure proper operation.

5. Groundwater Monitoring - a monthly monitor-
ing method using wells installed to monitor for leaks
into the groundwater. A site assessment must be
performed before wells are installed to ensure
proper operation. Groundwater must never be
deeper than 20 feet below the ground surface.

6. Interstitial or Internal Monitoring - a monthly
monitoring method using a secondary barrier
around or beneath the tank, such as double-walled
tanks and piping. This method requires a sampling
or testing method to detect a release through the
inner wall or barrier.

7. Other Methods - any other monthly monitoring
method that can detect a leak of 0.2 gallons per hour
with a 95 percent detection probability and a 5
percent probability of false alarm. Statistical Inven-
tory Reconciliation is the most commonly used
Leak detection
alternatives

-------
A typical tank
     facility
             method.  Inaccurate data will yield inconclusive
             results.

             8.  Tank Tightness Testing - a method used in
             conjunction with inventory control that can detect a
             0.1 gallon per hour leak rate from any portion of the
             tank that routinely contains petroleum products.


             Leak detection for piping	


                   Leaks occur frequently from piping that
                   conveys product from the tank to the dis-
                   penser. Pressurized piping is commonly
             used in newer facilities, while suction piping is
             normally used at older facilities.

             1.   Pressurized piping must have automatic line
             leak detectors that are tested annually, and either:
                 a.  annual line tightness testing, or
                 b.  monthly leak detection monitoring,
                    such as vapor, groundwater or
                    interstitial monitoring.

-------
2.   Suction piping must have:
    a.  a line tightness test performed every three
       years, or .
    b.  monthly leak detection monitoring.

Suction piping is not required to have leak detection
monitoring if:
1.   only one check valve is included in each
    suction line and the check valve is located
    directly below the dispenser;
2. v the below-grade piping slopes so that product
    drains back into the tank; and
3.   the below-grade piping operates at less
    than atmospheric pressure.

Systems that have pressurized piping were required
to comply with leak detection by 1990. Suction
piping systems must comply by the dates listed
below.
        |f the suction piping
        was installed ...
it must have
leak detection by
Dec. 22 of...

        1975-79	1992
        1980-88	1993

        All pressurized piping in use on Dec. 22, 1990, had
        to have line leak detectors in place and operating.

                         Owners or operators of UST systems
                         also must comply with State Fire
                         Marshal requirements for fire safety.
                 The NFPA 30A Flammable and Combustible Liquids
                 Code Handbook states that owners and operators
                 must perform daily inventory monitoring for fuel
                 storage tanks.

                 New tank systems

                         Kentucky defines new tank systems as
                         those "... used to contain an accumula-
                         tion of regulated substances and for
                 which installation has been done after December 22,
                 1988." New tank systems are required by state and
                 federal law to have:
                 1.  leak  detection for tanks and piping;
                 2.  corrosion protection for metal tanks and metal
                    piping;
                 3.  spill  buckets around tank fill pipes; and   '
                 4.  overfill prevention for tanks.

                 NOTE: All UST system facilities must be upgraded with the
                 above-listed equipment by Dec. 22,1998.

 UST upgrading  requirements

 1.  Kentucky and federal
 regulations require all
 existing (installed before
 12/22/88) UST systems
 to upgrade by Dec.
 22,1998, with
 the following
 devices:
    a.  corrosion
       protection
       for metal tanks
       and metal piping;
    b.  spill buckets around
       tank fill pipes; and
    c.  overfill prevention for tanks.
 2.  Corrosion protection can be accom-
 plished using any one of the
 following:
    a.  fiberglass-reinforced
       plastic tanks;
    b.  steel tanks with a suitable dielectric
       coating or internal lining; or
    c.  internally lined steel tanks combined with
       cathodic protection (composite).
 3.  Cathodically (electrical current flow) protected
 tanks and piping may use one of the following
 methods:
       sacrificial anode type - uses attached magne-
       sium or zinc anodes to provide protection;
       or
       impressed current type - requires constant
       application of outside source of electrical
       power to provide protection.
4.  Existing metal tanks may be upgraded to meet
corrosion protection requirements if:
a.
b.

-------
12
                     a.  they are internally assessed to be corrosion
                        free; or
                     b.  they are installed for less than 10 years and
                        are monitored monthly for releases; or
                     c.  they are installed for less than 10 years and
                        have two tightness tests performed:
                        -  one tightness test before cathodic
                           protection is installed, and
                        -  one tightness test three to six months
                           after cathodic protection is installed.
                  Release reporting and initial
                  response


                        The 1992 General Assembly passed House Bill
                        540, which amends Kentucky environmental
                        law KRS 224.877. The bill, now numbered
                  KRS 224.01-400, clarifies reporting requirements for
                  a release or threatened release of a hazardous sub-
                  stance, pollutant or contaminant, and petroleum or
                  petroleum product. This law became effective July
                  14,1992. According to the law:

                  Q  Releases or threatened releases of 25 gallons or
                     more of any petroleum product must be imme-
                     diately reported to the 24-hour Environmental
                     Response telephone number:

                                   (502) 564-2380
                                        or
                                   1-800-928-2380

                  NOTE: A release includes usual or analytical verification of
                  contamination discovered at the UST site or a failed line or tank
                  tightness test.

                  Q  Take immediate action to prevent further release
                     to the environment.

 Temporary closure
       Temporary closures of less than three months
       do not require notification to the Division of
       Waste Management. However, owners or
operators of UST systems that are not used for three
to 12 months must follow requirements for tempo-
rary closure:

Q Submit to the division an amended notification
   form with the date the temporary closure began.

Q If the UST system has corrosion protection and
   leak detection equipment, continue to use these

-------
14
                 protective systems during temporary closure. If a
                 leak is found, respond as you would for a leak from
                 an active UST system by calling the Environmental
                 Response telephone number at 1-800-928-2380 or
                 (502) 564-2380.  If the UST system is empty/leak
                 detection equipment does not need to be main-
                 tained.

                 Q  Cap all other lines, pumps, manways, or ancil-
                 lary equipment, except the ventline, attached to the
                 UST system.

                 Q  If the UST system is temporarily closed for more
                 than 12 months, either permanently close the system
                 or request an extension. However, a site assessment
                 to measure any contamination at the site must be
                 completed before an extension can be granted.

                 A Temporary Closure Outline is available from the
                 Underground Storage Tank Compliance  Section by
                 calling (502) 564-6716 or using the order form pro-
                 vided at the end of this publication.
                 Permanent closure
                       To begin the permanent closure process, the
                       owner or operator must complete the closure
                       form "Notice of Intent to Permanently Close
                 Underground Storage Tanks" (DEP 502511/90). The
                 form must then be submitted, at least 30 days prior
                 to the permanent closure, to the Division of Waste
                 Management's regional office in the area where the
                 registered tanks or piping will be closed. A state
                 certified tank remover must close or remove the
                 tank(s). A list of all certified tank removers is avail-

A closure inspection and sampling must be con-
ducted by Division of Waste Management staff. To
schedule the inspection, contact the division's
regional office at least 10 days before closure. Other-
wise, the sampling analysis may not be accepted.  A
list of the division's regional offices is included at
the end of this publication.

A closure outline has been prepared to assist in the
closure process. To request a copy, contact the   .
Underground Storage Tank Closure Section at (502)
564-6716 or use the order form provided at the end
 of this publication.

 Owners and operators must measure for the pres-
 ence of a release around the tank, piping and pump
 island. Sludge must be cleaned from the tank and
 properly disposed. A site assessment must then be
 conducted.

 Tank sludge is regulated as a hazardous waste.
 Therefore, owners and operators are required to
  register as a "one-time" hazardous waste generator,
  pay the appropriate fee, and submit an annual
  report. For more information about the hazardous
  waste requirements/contact Marlyn Godby at (502)
  564-6716.

                 A Closure Assessment Report is required when   1
                 USTs and/or piping have been permanently closed.!
                 All information submitted to the Division of Waste '
                 Management must include the Kentucky UST
                 identification number. If the number is unknown,
                 contact the division's Underground Storage Tank'
                 Administrative Section at (502) 564-6716. A UST .
                 system must be permanently closed by a tank
                 remover certified by the State Fire Marshal's Office
                 (SFMO). The contractor's SFMO certification num-
                ber must be indicated along with the contractor's
                name on the Closure Assessment Report.

                If excavated material is to be taken to an approved
                landfill and/or landfarm, contact the Division of    i
                Waste Management's Solid Waste Branch for a list of
                approved landfills/landfarms. Appropriate receipts
                or manifests for soil, sludge, and tank disposal are  '
                required as part of the Closure Assessment Report
                Any excavated material stored on the site must be
                placed on and covered by plastic to prevent surface
                water runon and runoff.  All soil and water samples
                must be analyzed for any contents presently or
                previously stored in the tank(s) prior to permanent
                closure.

               A Closure Outline for UST systems is available from
               the Underground Storage Tank Closure Section by
               calling (502) 564-6716 or using the order form pro-

 further release and to control fire, explosion    CORRECT IVE
 and vapor hazards, the Division of Waste           ACTION
 Management will request a site investiga-
 tion.  The site investigation, which is

 KAR 42:060, must be conducted to

I cally and horizontally. Two copies of        v
 the Site Investigation Report must be submit-
 ted to the Underground Storage Tank Branch within
 60 days of the release.

 Effective July 1,1991, any groundwater monitoring
 wells required must be installed by a person who
 has been certified by the Kentucky Division of
 Water. A completed Kentucky Monitoring Well
 Record Form (DEP 8043) must be submitted for
 every monitoring well installed. In the interest of
 minimizing environmental contamination and
 promoting more effective cleanup, the owner may
  begin cleanup of soil and groundwater before the
  corrective action plan is approved provided the
  Division of Waste Management is notified in writing
  of the owner's intentions to begin cleanup. The
  division may impose conditions on the interim
  action.
  After a completed Site Investigation Report is
  submitted and approved, the Division of Waste
  Management may request a Corrective Action Plan
  to clean up any remaining soil or groundwater
  contamination.

  When a Corrective Action Plan (other than excavat-
   ing to clean soil) has been tentatively approved, the
   Division of Waste Management issues a public
   notice and makes the plan available for public
   inspection. A 30-day public comment period is

-------
18
                 provided, and citizens can request a public meeting
                 to discuss the proposed corrective action.  All com-
                 ments are considered by the division before the
                 Corrective Action Plan is finalized.

                 Once the plan is approved and implemented, quar-
                 terly monitoring reports are required to document
                 the effectiveness of the corrective action. The divi-   i
                 sion can require that the approved Corrective Action
                 Plan be modified if established cleanup levels are
                 not achieved.

                 Financial responsibility and assistance
                 According to federal and state regulations, owners
                 and operators of 13 or more USTs were required to
                verify by April 26,1991, their ability to pay up to $1
                million per occurrence for cleanup and third-party
                claims. Owners and operators of 12 or less tanks
                have untU Dec. 31,1993, to provide documentation
                of adequate financial responsibility.

                To help UST owners and operators meet the finan-
                cial responsibility requirements, the 1990 Kentucky
                General Assembly created the Kentucky Petroleum
                Storage Tank Environmental Assurance Fund.
                Monies for the fund come from a fee (4/10 of one
                cent) applied to each gallon of a petroleum product
                received in the state.

               The Kentucky Petroleum Storage Tank Environmen-
               tal Assurance Fund provides financial assistance for
               corrective action expenses and third-party damages
               Owners or operators can receive up to $1 million per
               occurrence for cleanup and/or third-party claims.

               The General Assembly created a commission to
               oversee the distribution of monies from the fund.
               To qualify for financial assistance from the fund,

-------
                                                              19
owners or operators must submit proof to the
commission that they can pay the required deduct-
ible:

Q  For six or more tanks,' $50,000 deductible
    (first $25,000 for cleanup and first $25,000 for
    third-party claims); or

Q  For five or less tanks, $20,000 deductible
    (first $10,000 for cleanup and first $10,000 for
    third-party claims).

 In certain situations owners and operators who are
 financially limited and unable to pay a portion or
 any of the deductible, may qualify for assistance
 from the fund. To receive monies from the fund,
 owners and operators must qualify for a Certificate
 of Eligibility. The requirements for obtaining the
 certificate are outlined in the regulations governing
 the fund that became effective March 12,1993.

 For more information about the fund, financial
 assistance or to obtain a Certificate of Eligibility,

  Environmental Assurance Fund Commission at 911
  Leawood Drive, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 or call
