                      including fire services and isolation points of fuel and power, and all
                      drains.
               iv.    type of underground tanks and their identification number or code
               v.     type of fuels and capacities.
          Fuel storage
    52.   The underground petroleum storage system (UPSS) must be designed by a suitably
          qualified and experienced person, and a copy of the design certification must be
          provided to Council prior to issue of development permit for operational works.
    53.   The underground storage tanks must be designed and constructed of a standard not
          less than that required by AS1692 “Tanks for the storage of Flammable and
          Combustible Liquids”. A certificate of compliance shall be provided by the
          manufacturer of the tanks prior to use of the tanks.
    54.   The underground tanks must be installed in accordance with AS 1940 and AIP Code
          of Practice CP4 Code of Practice for Design, Installation and Operation of
          Underground Petroleum Storage Systems. A Certificate of Compliance from a
          suitably qualified and experienced person must be provided to council prior to
          operation of the service station.
    55.   All electrical wiring and equipment located in a hazardous zone including dispensers,
          must comply with relevant Australian Standards. A Certificate of Compliance from an
          approved electrical contractor must be provided to Council prior to operation of the
          service station.
    56.   The underground tanks together with their anchorage and piping must be protected
          from corrosion by one or more of the following methods:
          a.   approved long life protective coatings or wrappings
          b.   corrosion resistant materials of construction e.g. FRP.
          Consideration must be given to the corrosion history of the area in the selection of
          type of protection to be used.
    57.   Underground tanks must be separated from each other by not less than 150mm.
    58.   Secondary containment for product piping must be double-walled piping with an
          interstitial space. The manufacturer is to provide a written specification and
          performance warranty certifying compliance with AIP Code of Practice.
    59.   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.
    60.   All pipe work and equipment must be located so that it is protected against impact
          damage from vehicles or mobile plant, and must not cause excessive stress where
          connected to the tank.

                                                                                Page 11 of 171
