        44.   All underground pipework must be made of approved, non-corrodible materials
              which include either:
              a.    fibre-reinforced thermosetting resin composite (fibreglass) compatible with
                    the product to be transferred; or
              b.    flexible plastic meeting the requirements of UL971 Standard for non-
                    metallic underground piping for flammable liquids.
        45.   All product piping must have secondary containment consisting of double-walled
              piping with an interstitial space.
        46.   A Certificate of Compliance must be provided by the manufacturer certifying that
              the pipework meets the Standard and be provided to Council prior to the
              commissioning the UPSS.
              Fill/Vapour Recovery Points
        47.   Each tank fill point must be:
              a.    clearly labelled and identified in compliance with AS 4977-2008 Petroleum
                    products - Pipeline, road tanker compartment and underground tank
                    identification
              b.    fitted with a camlock type or other liquid-tight connection
              c.    provided with spill containment of at least 15L capacity per spill point.
        48.   All fill and vapour recovery points must be earthed in compliance with AS 1020-
              1984 The control of undesirable static electricity and AS 3000-2007 Electrical
              installations.
              Monitoring
        49.   Monitoring of the interstitial space of the double walled tanks or product piping
              must be capable of detecting a release through either wall of the tank or product
              piping. A 6-monthly inspection program conducted by a suitably qualified and
              experienced person is required to monitor the following:
              a.    the system is active;
              b.    leak detection measurements (e.g. liquid levels or pressure levels) are
                    within manufacturer’s tolerances;
              c.    leak detection measurements are recorded;
              d.    any loses outside the manufacturer’s leak detection tolerances are to be
                    reported to council in writing and the tank owner immediately.
              Fuel Dispensing Area (FDA)
        50.   The FDA must be covered and designed and constructed to ensure that no
              vehicle may be refuelled outside the delineated area.
        51.   The FDA must be designed and constructed so as to prevent the entry of
              watershed from overland stormwater flows entering the fuel dispensing forecourt.
        52.   All ground surfaces within the FDA must be constructed of impermeable
              materials free of gaps and/or cracks. Suitable materials include waterproofed,
              reinforced concrete or an approved equivalent.
        53.   The FDA must be clearly demarcated from the outer forecourt area, access
              roads, general parking bays and all other areas to clearly delineate the higher
              contamination risk area from lower risk areas. Acceptable demarcation methods
              include a painted line on the ground, roll-over bunds, drainage lines or different
              coloured impermeable material.
