              c.    be capable of detecting a leak at a rate of 0.76L per hour or more with at
                    least 95% accuracy and a probability of false detection of 0.05 or less
                    (United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
              d.    be certified by an independent third party, consistent with the current
                    USEPA protocols and system of verification (USEPA 1990, 40 Code of
                    Federal Regulation Part 280, Subpart D)
        41.   A Certificate of Compliance must be provided by the independent third party that
              the UPSS leak detection system is consistent with the current USEPA protocols
              and system of verification and be provided to Council prior to the commissioning
              the UPSS.
              Leak Detection System for Underground Tanks
        42.   The following leak detection systems must be used for the underground tanks:
              a.    statistical inventory reconciliation (SIR) that includes a software-based
                    system where daily tank dip readings, delivery records and sales records
                    are entered onto a proprietary software package; or
              b.    automatic tank gauging (ATG) that includes an automatic system using an
                    arrangement of sensor probes and other devices that monitor the
                    underground petroleum storage system and provide inventory information
                    and leak testing;
              c.    a tank pit observation well at the lowest point of each tank excavation pit.
        43.   Leak detection systems for the underground pipework must include:
              a.    electronic line leak detection (ELLD) for pressure piping; or
              b.    safe suction for suction piping;
              c.    for remote fill lines, a statistical inventory reconciliation system to monitor
                    leaks in the fill lines.
        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


                                                                                    Page 37 of 52
