RECOMMENDATIONS ONLY – NOT THE FINAL DECISION OF COUNCIL
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING                                                      16 JANUARY 2017


              i.   when requested by Council
        70.   The results of any EIT must be provided to Council upon commissioning the
              UPSS and as requested by Council and must provide as a minimum the following
              information:
              a.   equipment identification number
              b.   location and date of test
              c.   results of test and test method
              d.   certification by and details of testing company or individual
              e.   discussion, conclusion and any remedial actions proposed, implemented
                   and timetable for compliance.
              Stage 1 Vapour Recovery
        71.   Each underground storage tank is to have:
              a.   vapour return lines that return all vapour displaced from the storage tank to
                   the delivery tanker;
              b.   vapour-tight couplings on the vapour line that close automatically when
                   disconnected;
              c.   liquid-tight couplings on the liquid transfer hoses;
              d.   incompatible liquid and vapour couplings;
              e.   spill containment enclosures for the storage tank fill connection point;
              f.   secure seals on tank filling pipes and vapour return pipes that minimise
                   vapour leaks when the pipes are not in use;
              g.   submerged fill pipes, so they terminate below the suction inlet used for
                   pumping petrol out of the storage tank;
              h.   overfill protection devices (float vent valves) fitted to shut off the petrol flow
                   at the level advised by the tank manufacturer;
              i.   overfill prevention devices (mechanical or electronic) that slow delivery of
                   petrol into the storage tank as the level in the storage tank approaches the
                   design fill level – the devices should be positioned to stop the petrol flow
                   before the float vent valve operates;
              j.   secure seals on any dip hatch openings;
              k.   a pressure vacuum valve and a 10-millimetre orifice in parallel fitted to the
                   storage tank vent pipe. Similar devices are permitted, but will only be
                   accepted by Council where they are shown by an independent certifier to
                   perform the same duty.
              Ground Water Monitoring Well
        72.   At least two (2) ground water monitoring wells must be installed on site for the
              purposes of monitoring ground water for the presence of contaminants.
        73.   The design and installation of ground water monitoring wells must be by a
              suitably qualified person experienced in designing and/or installing groundwater
              monitoring wells.
