              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

              piping. A 6-monthly inspection program conducted by a suitably qualified and

              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.

        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.
