              Equipment Integrity Test (EIT) of UPSS
        66.   An EIT of the UPSS is to be conducted by a duly qualified person in accordance
              with the manufacturer’s written instructions specific to the UPSS.
        67.   The EIT must be capable of detecting a leak of 0.38 litres per hour, with a
              probability of detection of at least 95% and of false detection of 5% or less in
              accordance with AS 4897–2008 – The design, installation and operation of
              underground petroleum storage systems.
        68.   The EIT must be a nationally approved and certified method of testing that meets,
              at a minimum, the requirements or certification standards of the United States
              Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA 1990).
        69.   The EIT of the UPSS must be undertaken at the following times :
              a.   immediately before commissioning the new UPSS
              b.   immediately following any modification to the UPSS
              c.   immediately following installation of re-used equipment
              d.   immediately following any equipment retrofit
              e.   immediately following any repair to UPSS equipment
              f.   where the leak detection systems indicate failure
              g.   where there is only one method of leak detection system in use
              h.   where there is evidence of a leak
              i.   when requested by Council
        70.   The results of any EIT must be provided to Council upon commissioning the

              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

              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;

                                                                                   Page 40 of 52
