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: 21 May 2009iii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The scope of this project is to perform biennial integrity testing of Bulk Field Constructed
Underground Storage Tank (BFCUST) #17 at the FISC Red Hill / Bulk Fuel Storage
Facility, Pearl Harbor, HI

. BFCUST #17 has a capacity of 12,600,000 gallons and
contains JP-5. Testing is being conducte d as best management practice.

BFCUST #17 was integrity tested from 30 Marc h to 8 April 2009 with a linear regression
of the recorded 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 tight

. BFCUST #17 has passed biennial integrity testing.

FISC Red Hill / Bulk Fuel Storage Facilit y, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii should continue to
operate BFCUST #17 in accordance with all Fe deral, State, and local regulations.

BFCUST #17 should be retested on or before the biennial anniversary date of April 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 #17 was performed
from 30 March to 8 April 2009. Table 1 provide s 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 party 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 #17 was integrity tested with
a linear regression of the recorded 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 #17 passed biennial integrity testing.

3.2 Recommendations

FISC Red Hill, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii shoul d continue to operate BFCUST #17 in

accordance with all Federal, State, and local regulations. BFCUST #17 should be

retested on or before the bienni al anniversary date of April 2011.

# Executive Summary

Testing of the 12,600,000 gal undergro und storage tank located at FISC
Red Hill, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii co mmenced March 30, 2009 and was
completed April 8, 2009. The tank was filled with JP-5 and a precision leak

test was conducted. The result of that testing indicates the tank is tight.
Testing was performed using Mass Tec hnology 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 comp romised and the test is considered

conclusive.

Tank 17: After 192 hours of test ing the tank is certified tight.2 Tank Data Tank 17

Test Results

Certified Tight

Summary of Results

The fluid mass data was recorded over a 192-hour test period. A linear regression of the recorded fluid mass data resulted in no leak detected above the minimum detection level of 0.7 gallons per hour. All tank valves were ad equately secured such that any fluid loss was isolated to leakage. Therefore, the co ntainment integrity of the tank has not been compromised and the tank is considered not to be leaking.3
