2 Piping

6.1.2.1 Secondary containment and interstitial monitoring is required for all


new piping installations, including piping to remote fills. Secondary
containment must be able to contain regulated sub-stances leaked from the
primary containment until they are detected and removed and prevent the
release of regulated substances to the environment at any time during the
operational life of the UST system.

6.1.2.2 For replaced piping, secondary containment and interstitial


monitoring is required for the total length of piping connected to a single
UST whenever more than 50% or 50 feet (whichever is less) of the piping
connected to that tank is replaced.

6.1.2.3 Installation of new or replaced piping will require the installation of


containment sumps (under-dispenser [UDC], submersible turbine pump
[STP] or transition) on both ends of the secondarily contained pipe for
interstitial monitoring. These secondary containment requirements do not
apply to repairs meant to restore piping to operating condition.

6.1.2.4 For the purposes of determining when secondary containment is


required by these rules, a repair is any activity that does not meet the
definition of “replace”. These secondary containment requirements also do
not apply to vent piping, vapor recovery piping, and fill pipes not connected
to remote fills.

6.1.2.5 The piping that routinely contains regulated substances and is in


contact with the ground must be properly designed, constructed, and
protected from corrosion in accordance with a code of practice developed by
a nationally recognized association or independent testing laboratory as
specified below.

(a) The piping is constructed of non-corrodible material; or


(b) The piping is constructed of steel and cathodically protected in the
following manner:
(i) The piping is coated with a suitable dielectric material;
(ii) Field-installed cathodic protection systems are designed by a
corrosion expert;
(iii) Impressed current systems are designed to allow determination
of current operating status as required in 7.3(7.3.3); and
(iv) Cathodic protection systems are operated and maintained in
accordance with 7.3(7.3.2).

(c) The piping is constructed of metal without additional corrosion


protection measures provided that:
(i) The piping is installed at a site that is determined by a corrosion
expert to not be corrosive enough to cause it to have a release due
to corrosion during its operating life; and
(ii) Owners/operators maintain records that demonstrate compliance
with the requirements of paragraph 6.1.2.5(c)(i) of this section
for the remaining life of the piping; or

(d) The piping construction and corrosion protection are determined by the
Director to be designed to prevent the release or threatened release of
any stored regulated substance in a manner that is no less protective of
human health and the environment than the requirements in paragraphs
6.1.2.5(a) through (c) of this section.
