MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: List of Leak Detection Evaluations
FROM: Lisa C. Lund, Acting Directo
Office of Underground Storag
TO: All Interested Parties
The purpose of this cover memo is to transmit the attached list
and to provide additional information about its appropriate use
and about EPA's involvement with it.
The List and Its Use
The List of Leak Detection Evaluations is based on reviews by an
independent work group consisting of state and EPA UST program
staff, and therefore is not an EPA list. The List contains
information on UST leak detection system evaluations that havex
met certain criteria. The evaluations must have been performed
by an independent third party, in accordance with EPA or
equivalent test procedures, with leak rates blind to the
evaluator.
The List is divided into parts. The Summary section categorizes
leak detection system evaluations by type of system. The
Specification section is in alphabetical order by name of the
vendor. The Under Review section lists evaluations about which
the work group has received some information, and is either
reviewing or has requested additional information needed to
clarify the evaluation. The Glossary section provides
definitions of terminology used in the List, which .should help
everyone to better understand the information presented in the
Specification section. Listing of an evaluation as "under
review" in no way implies that the evaluation does or does not
meet the review criteria.
Neither EPA nor the work group approve or will approve leak
detection systems. Approval or acceptance of systems is the
responsibility of the implementing agency, which in most cases is
the state environmental agency. Please contact your implementing
agency UST program to determine which leak detection systems are
approved or acceptable for use in your area.
The List includes evaluations that followed either an EPA
protocol, a national voluntary consensus standard, or a non-EPA
Bacycled/Racyclable .Printed with Vegetable Oil Based Inks on 100% Recycled Paper (40% Postconsumer)
-------
procedure developed by an independent third party. Please note
that multiple evaluations nay exist for one system, and therefore
there may be multiple listings for that system.
We believe that the List will be of great benefit to the entire
UST community. However, please remember that it has inherent
limitations. It is based on evaluations, which are one-time
events, often conducted in a lab setting according to protocols
that do not test all aspects of a system. Therefore, appearance
on the List does not .mean that a particular system will work or
comply with regulations at any particular site. For these
reasons, the List cannot be the final word; decision-makers
should »ake up their own minds based on all available sources of
information.
Distribution . , ^ ^ .
The attached List is the first edition, and follows a draft that
was widely distributed by this office in January. The work group
has indicated that the List will be updated periodically, as new
evaluations and information are reviewed. The most recent
version is available for downloading in electronic form
(Microsoft Word 6.0 and WordPerfect 5.2) from EPA's "CLU-IN"
electronic bulletin board at no charge. You can access CLU-IN by
modem at (301)589-8366, with settings 8-N-l, or reach the system
operator at (301)589-8368.
OUST plans to distribute paper revisions of the List about every
six months. Because of the large size of this document, to save
paper and expense we will limit distribution. We will send paper
copies to vendors, associations, EPA UST offices, state UST
offices, and others who request it. We will send only one copy
to each organization at each location. EPA Region 10 is no
longer updating the list it previously maintained.
Additional information
If you have an evaluation to submit, or if you have comments
about .the contents of the List, please see the attached April 26,
1995 memorandum from the work group's chair for guidance. As was
the case for the draft List, comments regarding a particular
listing should be made to the appropriate team leader for that
type of evaluation. Comments and new information are welcomed.
I hope that this package is helpful to you. If you would like to
make changes to the address information on your envelope, please
forward them to David Wiley of my staff, Mail Code 5402W or fax
number (703)308-8505. .

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vendors of leak Detection Equipment/Procedures
FROM: Curt D. Oohnson, Chairperson
RE: National Leak Detection Work Group's Draft List of Third-Party
Evaluated Leak Detection Equipment/Procedures
. V
By now, all of you should have received a copy of our work group's
draft 11st. If you have not received a copy please contact Lillian
Shelton at (703)308-8859 and she will send you a copy.
The draft 11st cover letter dated January 17, 1995 from Lisa Lund
states that comments on the draft 11st were due March 1, 1995. This
date has been extended until May 15, 1995. Comments on the draft list
may be sent to either the appropriate work group team leader (see
attached member and team 11st) or to me at the Montgomery letterhead
address. We are currently on schedule to provide the first edition
list late this summer.
All new evaluations and/or protocols to be evaluated by the work group
need to be sent to my attention at the letterhead address. To enable
the workgroup to properly review the third-party tests, three (3).
copies of all applicable Information Indicated 1n the enclosed "Leak
Detection Equipment Review - Document List" must be Included. Because
the EPA Region 10 11st will no longer be updated and because Mr.
Harold Scott of Region 10 has left the work group, third-party tests
should no longer be sent to Region 10 EPA.
Since the draft 11st was sent out, the 11st has been referred to as
the "EPA work group 11st of approved leak detection equipment". The
work group and EPA are concerned that similar statements may begin to
appear In sales literature distributed by vendors. We request that"
you do not refer to the 11st In this way for the following reasons.
1. This Is not an EPA or EPA work group list. This draft 11st was
prepared by an Independent work group consisting of state and EPA
members.
2 Neither EPA nor the work group approve leak, detection equipment or
procedures. The draft 11st does not Include "approved" leak
detection equipment/procedures. It Includes leak detection
equipment/procedures that the work group reviewed and confirmed,
were third-party tested 1n accordance with either an EPA or other
acceptable test protocol, and the test confirmed that the
equipment/procedures meet EPA performance standards. Approval or
acceptance of leak detection equipment and procedures Is the
responsibility of the Implementing agency, which 1n most cases Is
the state environmental agency.
Pnntedon Recydod Paper
-------
He plan to send only one copy per company per location In the future.
If you received more than one copy at your location, or If this letter
needs to be forwarded, please notify me of the proper person to send
future correspondence.
The trial posting of the draft documents on EPA's "CLU-In" electronic
bulletin board was successful and the draft 11st can currently be
accessed. We plan to post the first edition 11st as well. For more
Information on CLU-IN, please call (703)308-8885 or dial Into CLU-IN
at (301)589-8366 with your modem set at 8.N.I.

Leak rate is calculated from data determined to be valid by statistical analysis.
There must be no dispensing or product delivery during the test.
Displacer probe measures mass of product and is immune to product temperature
changes. Therefore, no temperature measurements are required with this ATGS.
A water sensor must be used to detect water incursion.
Minimum water level detectable in the tank is 0.175 inches (0.27 inches for waste oil).
Minimum change in water level that can be detected is 0.088 inches (0.031 inches for
waste oil).
Mass measurement probe and water sensor must be checked and calibrated if necessary
in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
This is a battery operated system and does not automatically generate a hard copy of the
leak test result. However, a hard copy of the results can be obtained by transfer of data to
another unit (see manufacturer's instructions for further details). This system is not
equipped with any alarms (e.g. high water alarm, or failed leak test alarm).
This equipment was not evaluated using manifolded tanks.
This equipment only tests the portion of the tank that contains product.
As the product level is lowered the leak rate in a leaking tank decreases (due to
lower head pressure),
2000-X model (which was certified for use on tanks up to 30,000 gal capacity) and 2000-
XB model (which was certified for use on tanks up 72,948 gallons) are still under review.

Comments:
Leak rate of 0.05 gph with PD=97.0 and PFA=O%.
Detection of tracer chemical.
Ail fluid petroleum products and any other fluid which the tracer is compatible.
Waiting period after injection of the tracer into the tank is between one to four weeks.
For very large fuel systems several days or weeks may be required to circulate tracer
labeled fuel through all parts of the system. Under these circumstances, the waiting
period begins after the tracer reaches the pipeline being tested.
Dosage of tracer is a factor of tank size and the frequency of tank refills according to
manufacturers recommendations. If the tank system does not operate on a daily basis,
another line test method must be used.
Soil permeability must be sufficient for transport of tracer through the backfill. Soil
permeability is checked by measuring the vacuum readings at sampling locations. The
vacuum reading must be 10 inches of mercury or less.
Radius of influence of each probe is 10 feet. Locating the pipelines should be done
according to the manufacturer operating procedures for pipeline test results to be valid.
Presence of frozen, saturated soil above the bottom of the tank may limit the
effectiveness of this test method.
Presence of groundwater above the bottom of the tank may limit the effectiveness of
this test method
(e.g. when applied to tanks containing water-miscible products or products whose
specific gravity is greater than one).

Detection of tracer chemical.
Ail fluid petroleum products and any other fluid which the tracer is compatible.
This test method is not limited by tank capacity, however only portions of the tank
system within 10 feet of sample collection point are tested.
Waiting period after injection, of the tracer into the tank is 7 to 14 days.
Dosage of tracer is a factor of tank size and number of tank refills according to
manufacturer's recommendations.
Soil permeability must be sufficient for transport of tracer through the backfill. Soil
permeability is checked by measuring the vacuum readings at sampling locations. The
vacuum reading must be 10 inches of mercury or less..
Radius of influence of each probe is 10 feet. Probes must be placed such that all
possible locations and orientations are within the circle of influence.
Locating the pipelines should be done according to the manufacturer's operating
procedures for pipeline test results to be valid
Depth to the water table present in the backfill must be determined before addition of
the tracer to the tank. If the water table is above the bottom of the tank, throughout the
first three days following addition of the tracer, the product level must be maintained
above the water table such that the hydrostatic pressure of the product will exceed that
of the water table by 0.33 psi.
Presence of frozen, saturated soil above the bottom of the tank may limit the
effectiveness of this test method.
Presence of groundwater above the bottom of the tank may limit the effectiveness of
this test method (e.g. when applied to tanks containing water-miscible products or
products whose specific gravity is greater than one).

NON-VOLUMETRIC TANK TIGHTNESS TEST METHOD (ULLAGE)
Certification:
Leak Threshold:
Applicability:
Capacity:
Watting Time:
Test Period:
Test Pressure:
Temperature:
Groundwaten
Comments:
Leak rate of 0.1 gph with PD=100% and PFA=O%.
A leak is declared if the noise signal detected is different from the baseline. (Baseline
is the noise signal before pressure or vacuum is applied to the tank.)
Gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, fuel oil #4 and #6, solvent and waste oil.
Maximum ullage volume is 16,500 gallons.
There is no waiting time required after product delivery to the tank.
The data collection time (determination of background noise and a leak) is a few
minutes After the desired pressure has been reached, the tank should be allowed to
settle for ten minutes. Test period also depends on background noise at the site and
on the size of the leak.
A vacuum blower to produce a vacuum of 1 psi in the ullage portion is used. Or, a
nitrogen pressure of 4 psi at the tank bottom is applied.
Acoustical signal is independent of product temperature.
Depth to the water table present in the backfill must be determined. If it is above the
product level, a vacuum test should not be used. The pressure test may only be used
if the ullage test pressure is maintained at a minimum of 1.0 psi higher than the
pressure exerted by the water table. If this requires more than 5 psi at tank bottom,
then the ullage test should not be used. .
This test method tests only the ullage portion of the tank; the product portion of the
tank must be tested with an underfilled test method.
This test method was third-party certified using #2 diesel fuel as the test product.
During the third-party testing, the microphone was 25 feet away from the leak source.
Excess background noise can be a factor in the test result. If background noise is too
high, the test is inconclusive.
Noise signals are tape recorded (not digitally recorded).
This test method was not third-party certified with manifolded tanks.
When testing with vacuum, this test method may not be effective in some backfill,
because some particles (such as clay) may plug a hole in the tank.
If the soil is saturated with product, this test will not detect air or water ingress.

bubbres formed by air ingress in product-filled portion of the tank; accumulation of water in bottom of tank from water
ingress.
Gasoline, dtesel, aviation fuel, fuel oil #4, and waste oil.
The maximum tank capacity is 75.000 gallons.
The microphone should be located within 60 feet from any possible teak source. The test & SeneraHy conducted at
60-90% product level range. The test may be performed at lower product levels (minimum 5% product in the tank) if
the total ullage volume does not exceed 20,000 gallons.
The minimum data collection time to declare a tank tight (after vacuum is reached) is 1 hour if the backfill is dry (no
water is detected in the backfill prior to or at the conclusion of the test). There is no specified minimum test time to
declare a tank "non-tight". If water is present in the backfill, the minimum test time for declaring a tank tight is
calculated based on the tank size, amount of water present in the tank prior to the test, tank tilt, type of the water
sensor and its location. Manufacturer's time charts should be checked for appropriate test times. When the test
relies on detection of water ingress, the minimum test time to declare a tank tight (if the measurements are taken at
the low end of the tank) is: 4 hours for the printed circuit board water sensor (test time may be shorter for tanks
smaller than 1500 gallons) and 1 hour for the magnetostrictive water sensor. When water is present in the backfill,
an Inclinometer must be used to determine and record.tank tilt. Tank tilt may also be determined by taking readings
at two different ends of the tank. Water sensor should always be used at the low end of the tank. If the water
measurements are not taken at the low end of the tank very extended test times may be required to detect any water
ingress.
A water sensor (at the low point of the tank) is used to detect water ingress. MagnetostricBve sensor, minimum
detectable water level is 0.017 inches, minimum detectable water level change is 0.001 inches. Printed circuit board
sensor minimum detectable water level is 0.022 inches, minimum detectable water level change is 0.016 inches.
Water miscibte products limit the effectiveness of water ingress detection.
Depth to the water table present in the backfill must be determined, and if ft is above the bottom of the tank, test time
must be extended to allow sufficient time to detect 0.1 gph incursion of water into the tank.
The minimum vacuum at the bottom of the tank must be - 0.5 psi.
This test method may not be effective in some backfill because some backfill (such as clay) may plug a hole in the
tank. This test method was not evaluated using manifolded tanks. If the soil is saturated with product this test
method may not detect air or water incursion. A well point in the backfill may help identify presence of this condition.
During the third-party certification gasoline, diesei, and JP-4 was used.

Waiting period after injection of the tracer into the tank is on average 2 weeks, but
must be no less than 1 week, and no more than 4 weeks. For very large systems
several days or weeks may be required to circulate tracer-labeled fuel through all
parts of the system. Under these circumstances the 1 week waiting period begins
after the tracer reaches the pipeline being tested..
Dosage of tracer is a factor of tank size and the frequency of tank refills according to
manufacturer's recommendations. Tracer labelled product should be circulated
through the piping before the test period begins. Pressurized piping must be brought
up to operating pressure or caused to operate on a daily basis.
Soil permeability must be greater than 1 Darcy. Soil permeability must be sufficient
for transport of tracer through the backfill.
Radius of influence of each probe is 10 feet. Locating the pipelines should be done
according to the manufacturer operating procedures for pipeline test results to be
valid.
Presence of frozen, saturated soil (frozen groundwater) surrounding the piping may
reduce the effectiveness of this test method.

Detection of tracer chemical.
AH fluid petroleum products and any other fluid with which the tracer is compatible.
This test method is not limited by tank capacity, however only portions of the tank
system within 10 feet of sample collection point are tested.
Waiting period after injection of the tracer into the tank is 7 to 30 days (generally two
weeks).
Dosage of tracer is a factor of tank size and the frequency of tank refills according to
manufacturer's recommendations.
Soil permeability must be greater than 1 Darcy. Soil permeability must be sufficient
for transport of tracer through the backfill. ,
Radius of influence of each probe is 10 feet; probes must be placed such that all
possible locations and orientations are within the circle of influence.
Depth to the water table present in the backfill must be determined. In order for a
leak below the water table to be indicated by the release of the tracer compound, the
hydrostatic pressure of product in the tank must exceeed the hydrostatic pressure of
the water table. This is done by maintaining the product level at least 6 inches over
the water table for a minimum of 17 hours during the first three days following the
addition of the tracer compound to the tank system.
In high groundwater situations, this method may be supplemented wrth the
measurement of water ingress, at the discretion of the regulatory agency.
Presence of frozen, saturated soil above the bottom of the tank may limit the
effectiveness of this test method. ,,..,«.
Presence of groundwater above the bottom of the tank may also limit the

GLOSSARY
Accuracy:
The degree to which the measured Jeak rate agrees with the induced leak rate on the average. If a method is
accurate, ft has a very small or zero bias.
Activated: ,
Refers to the state of a qualitative detector's response when indicating the presence of product.
Continuous Detector: . ,
Detectors that operate continuously and are always present and are never turned off.
Detection Time:
The sum of rise time and lag time.
Fall Time:
The elapsed time after a detector has responded to a test hydrocarbon and is removed and has recovered to
95% of its original baseline level or there is no detectable signal output.
False Alarm:
Declaring a tank to be leaking when in fact it is tight.
Induced Leak Rate:
The actual leak rate, in gal/h, used during the evaluation against which the results from a given test device
will be compared.
Intermittent Detector:
Detectors that monitor on a regular basis. An intermittent detector may be a hand held device that is
portable or a permanently installed device that is used to periodically test for the presence of product.
Lag Time:
The elapsed time from the detector's first contact with test product to the first detectable signal.
Leak threshold:
This is the measured leak rate at which the test method declares the tank to be leaking. This leak rate will
always be less than or equal to the leak rate requirement for the various release detection (RD) methods
given in 40 CFR § 280 Subpart D-Release Detection. (Please note that some states and other regulatory
authorities may have different requirements). The minimum threshold for declaring a leak is experimentally
determined from the results of the evaluation of the RD method.
Manifolded Tanks:
Manifolded tanks are those tanks that are connected by piping that allows the tank system to function as a
single tank. A typical manifolded tank system usually consists of two tanks connected by a syphon tube that
permits the product in the tanks to be at the same level while product is being pumped out of only one tank.
Measured Leak Rate:
A positive number, in gal/h, measured by the test device that indicates the amount of product leaking out of
the tank. A negative number would indicate that something was being added to the tank. The performance
of a method is based on how well the measured leak rate compares to the actual induced leak rate.
