Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) An
				emergency consists of a defect in a UST that is causing or threatens to cause
				harm to human health or the environment, or presents a threat to fire safety,
				and contact of the regulated substance with the defect cannot be prevented. In
				the event of a release, release reporting, investigation and initial response
				shall be conducted pursuant to 41 Ill. Adm. Code 172, 174, 175 and 176. All
				emergency repairs shall meet the requirements of Section
				175.700 and require a permit
				applied for electronically after-the-fact on the next business day and require
				a final inspection scheduled pursuant to Section
				175.320 within 10 days after
				issuance of the permit. A UST contractor portal for the on-line submission of
				permit applications and the scheduling of permitted work can be found at
https://webapps.sfm.illinois.gov/USTPortal/Home/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fUSTPortal
.
b) If minor or temporary repairs are required
				to correct the defect, only the defective area can be repaired.
c) Economic loss or the threat of economic
				loss does not constitute an emergency.
d) Minor or temporary repairs, as a result of
				an emergency, to tanks or piping may begin on weekends, holidays and after
				business hours, when the repairs would otherwise require a permit prior to
				being performed. Permit applications are required for this UST activity and
				shall be submitted to OSFM after-the-fact, on the next business day. All
				repairs shall be inspected and precision tested in accordance with Sections
				175.630(b) and
				175.640(a)(4)
				prior to the repaired UST being put back into operation and within 30 days
				following the completion of the repair, unless otherwise directed by
				OSFM.
e) When the emergency
				prompting the need for repairs occurs on a business day, the contractor shall
				obtain authorization to proceed with the emergency repair by submitting an
				electronic Emergency Repair Request on-line or by calling OSFM. After obtaining
				authorization, the contractor shall apply for a permit on the next business
				day. A UST contractor portal for the on-line submission of an Emergency Repair
				Request and permit applications and other forms can be found at the website in
				subsection (a).
f) Repairs
				completed in violation of 41 Ill. Adm. Code 172, 174, 175, 176 and 177 may be

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) USTs
				may be put into an out of service status provided they meet the performance
				standards for new UST systems or the upgrading requirements specified in 41
				Ill. Adm. Code 174, 175 and 176 and
				40 CFR
				280, except that spill and overfill
				prevention equipment requirements do not have to be met. The USTs may continue
				in an out of service status for a period of 5 years from the date of last use
				provided they meet the following requirements:
1) The tank and product lines shall be
				emptied immediately upon placing the UST in an out of service status. The UST
				is empty when all materials have been removed using commonly employed practices
				so that no more than 2.5 centimeters (one inch) of
				residue, or 0.3 % by weight of the total
				capacity of the UST system, remain in the system.
2) Pursuant to Sections
				175.500 and
				175.510, all corrosion
				protection shall be maintained and operational for all tanks and lines, and
				tested as required, to include flex/pipe connectors. This will include any
				monthly logs that need to be maintained.
3) OSFM must receive a written request,
				within 30 days after the date the tank was last used, requesting an out of
				service status. The request shall be submitted on a Notification for
				Underground Storage Tanks on OSFM forms (available at
https://sfm.illinois.gov/about/divisions/petroleum-chemical-safety/applications-and-forms.html
).
4) Vent lines shall be left open and
				functioning.
5) Within 7 days, the
				owner/operator shall cap and secure all product lines and secure all pumps,
				manways and ancillary equipment.
6)
				Subject to all other applicable OSFM requirements, a UST may be put back in
				operation any time during the first 12 months, without meeting the requirements
				of subsection (d), subject to the requirement that OSFM be notified in writing
				on the Notification for Underground Storage Tanks form at least 10 days prior
				to operation. The form is available at the website cited in subsection
				(a)(3).
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 41 - FIRE PROTECTION › Part 175 - TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS AND THE STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION, SALE AND USE OF PETROLEUM AND OTHER REGULATED SUBSTANCES › Subpart H - REMOVAL, ABANDONMENT AND CHANGE-IN-SERVICE › Section 175.820 - Change-in-Service of USTs

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) From
				a Regulated Substance to a Non-Regulated Substance. Continued use of a UST to
				store a non-regulated substance (so that it is no longer classified as a UST)
				is considered a change-in-service. Before a change-in-service, owners or
				operators shall empty and clean the tank by removing all liquid and accumulated
				sludge and conduct a site assessment. The minimum requirements for the site
				assessment will be the procedures and requirements of 41 Ill. Adm. Code
				176.330. However, a
				change-in-service may only occur during the first 2 years, commencing with the
				date of installation of the tank. A tank system classified as a UST may not be
				re-classified as being a non-UST unless there has been a change-in-service as
				provided in this Section.
b) From a
				Regulated Substance to a Regulated Substance. A change-in-service also consists
				of a conversion of a petroleum UST to a non-compatible petroleum UST or a
				hazardous substance UST to a non-compatible hazardous substance UST or a
				petroleum UST to a hazardous substance UST and vice versa. Before a
				change-in-service, owners or operators shall empty and clean the tank by
				removing all liquid and accumulated sludge in accordance with the requirements
				of Sections 175.500(a) and
				(c) and
				175.830(a),
				including API 2015, incorporated by reference in 41 Ill. Adm. Code
				174.210. The owner or operator
				shall verify that the UST meets the requirements of a hazardous material system
				if being changed over to a hazardous material substance, including requirements
				for secondary containment with interstitial monitoring after December 22, 1998.
				(See Section 175.415 regarding when an
				existing UST is converted to a blended or alternative fuel.)
c) From a Non-Regulated Substance to a
				Regulated Substance. A non-UST, which is used to store a non-regulated
				substance, may not be converted to a UST unless the tank has been re-certified
				and is in compliance with all applicable upgrade requirements for newly
				installed USTs. A used oil tank that is supplying fuel to a used oil furnace
				and is taken out of service shall be no longer classified as a heating oil
				tank. If the tank does not meet all upgrade requirements for release detection,
				spill, overfill and corrosion protection, the tank shall be removed.
d) For all activity related to a
				change-in-service, the equipment must be compatible with the product being
				stored and notification of change-in-service must be submitted on the
				Notification for Underground Storage Tanks form (available at
http://sfm.illinois.gov/about/divisions/petroleum-chemical-safety/applications-and-forms.html
)
				to OSFM not less than 30 days prior to the change-in-service.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) No tank or
				piping may be abandoned-in-place unless the permit applicant demonstrates
				eligibility for a waiver of the removal requirement for the tank and/or piping.
				The waiver shall be granted only in the following instances:
1) it would be infeasible to remove the UST
				due to loss of adjacent or subjacent support of nearby structures, such as
				railroad tracks, streets (as defined in Section 1-201 of the Illinois Vehicle
				Code [625
				ILCS 5/1-201 ]), and other USTs;
2) removal is infeasible because of
				inaccessibility, as determined by OSFM; or
3) in unusual situations in which removal is
				infeasible due to other reasons, as determined by OSFM.

				and
				175.510 for
				tanks and Sections
				175.420(a)
				and
				175.510 for
				piping.
ii) Pursuant to Section
				175.510(a),
				tanks without cathodic protection must be assessed to ensure the tank is
				structurally sound and free of corrosion holes prior to adding cathodic
				protection. The assessment must be by internal inspection or another method
				determined by OSFM to adequately assess the tank for structural soundness and
				corrosion holes.
