FISC RED HILL – PEARL HARBOR, HI

This report has been reviewed by a professional engineer and has been prepared in accordance with good engineering practices . Laboratory results, field notes, and supporting data have been review ed and referenced correctly.

I hereby certify that I have examined this repo rt and attest that it has been prepared in accordance with good engineering practices.

Engineer: Christopher D. Caputi, P.E.

Registration Number: 032382

State: Virginia

Date: 8 June 2009iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The scope of this project is to perform biennial integrity testing of Bulk Field Constructed Underground Storage Tank (BFCUST) #8 at the FISC Red Hill / Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, Pearl Harbor, HI

. BFCUST #8 has a capacity of 12,600,000 gallons and contains JP-5. Testing is being conducted as best management practice.

BFCUST #8 was integrity tested from 5 May to 12 May 2009 with a linear regression of
the recorded fluid mass data resulted in a calc ulated volume change ra te that is below the threshold of detection for a tank of this diameter and therefore is interpreted as tight

. BFCUST #8 has passed biennial inte grity testing.

FISC Red Hill / Bulk Fuel Storage Facilit y, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii should continue to operate BFCUST #8 in accordance with all Federal, State, and local regulations.
BFCUST #8 should be retested on or before the biennial anniversary date of May 2011.1 1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose of Project

The Navel Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) – Atlantic Division contracted Michael Baker Jr., Inc. (B aker) through NAVFAC Contra ct N62470-07-D-0502, Task # 0029 to perform biennial integr ity testing of sixteen (16) BFCUST systems at FISC Red Hill – Bulk Fuel Storage, Pearl Harbor, HI . Testing is being performed as a best management practice.

1.2 Project Scope

A Mass Technology Corporation (MTC) integr ity test on BFCUST #8 was performed from 5 May to 12 May 2009. Table 1 provides a description of the systems tested. Figures 1-3 show details of the Red Hill system and typical tank access points.

1.3 Project Team

Baker subcontracted MTC to perform the in tegrity testing. Fiel d-testing oversight, coordination with facility fuels representa tives, quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC), and final report pr eparation and submission was provided by Baker personnel.

1.4 Qualifications of Testing Procedures Used

The testing procedures used were those de fined as the MTC leak detection method. Determination of leakage is based on the criteria established in the Ken Wilcox Associates third pa rty evaluation.

The MTC Precision Mass Measurement System – SIM 1000, 144 hour test is certified with a calculated minimum detection level (M DL) of 0.7 gallons per hour, a probability of detection (PD) of 95%, and probab ility of a false alarm (PFA) of 5%.3 2.0 INTEGRITY TESTING AND RESULTS

The MTC test report is provide d in Appendix A. BFCUST #8 was integrity tested with a linear regression of the record ed fluid mass data resulted in a calculated volume change
rate that is below the threshold of detection for a tank of this diameter and therefore is interpreted as No Leak

3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 Conclusions

BFCUST #8 passed biennial integrity testing.

3.2 Recommendations

FISC Red Hill, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii shou ld continue to operate BFCUST #8 in accordance with all Federal, St ate, and local regulations. BFCUST #8 should be retested
on or before the biennial anniversary date of May 2011.

Scope of Work: Furnish all required management, labor, services, materials and equipment

to perform the required annual tightness testing of Tank # 8 an underground fuel storage tank located at FISC Red Hill, Pearl Harbor, HI.

Summary

Testing of Tank # 8 a 12,600,000 gal underground storage tank located at FISC Red Hill, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii commenced May 5, 2009 and was completed May 12, 2009. The tank was filled with JP-5 and a precision leak test was conducted. The result of that testing is that the tank system is determined to be tight to isolation. All tank valves were adequately secured such that no unusual readings were noted. Testing was performed using the Mass Technology Corporation protocols set out in the third party evaluations. All tank valves were adequately secured such that any fluid loss was isolated to leakage. Therefore, the containment integrity of the tank was not compromised and the test is considered conclusive.

Tank # 8: After 168 hours of testing the tank is certified to be tight. Precision Leak Measurement Report

Tank Data Tank # 8

Diameter: 100 ft. Height: 250 ft. Tank Type: Vertical UST Contents: JP-5 Properties: 0.80 Specific Gravity Product Level: 208 ft.

Results

The fluid mass data was recorded over a 168-hour period. A linear regression of the recorded fluid mass data resulted in a leak rate detected below the minimum detection level of 0.7 gallons per hour. All tank valves were adequately secured such that any fluid loss was isolated to leakage. Therefore, the containment integrity of the tank was not compromised and the test is considered conclusive.

Tank # 8 is certified to be tight.
