				  ensure that releases due to spilling and overfilling do not occur.
(b) Tanks with a fill pipe must be filled

				  spill container. A spill bucket is not required if the fill pipe is located
				  within an impervious containment dike. Where an aboveground tank is filled by
				  means of fixed piping, either a check valve and shutoff valve with a
				  quick-connect coupling or a check valve with a dry-break coupling shall be
				  installed in the piping at a point where connection and disconnection is made

(c) For existing aboveground storage tank
				  systems installed before October 13, 2018, any one of the following methods
				  must be used to prevent overfilling.
(1) High
				  liquid level alarms with an audible or visual signal that alerts personnel when
				  the tank reaches ninety percent (90%) capacity at a constantly attended
				  operation or surveillance station.
(2) High liquid level pump cutoff devices set
				  to stop flow at a predetermined container content level.
(3) Direct audible or code signal
				  communication between the tank gauger and the pumping station.
(4) A fast response system for determining
				  the liquid level of each bulk storage container such as digital computers,
				  telepulse, or direct vision gauges. If this alternative is used a second person
				  must be present to monitor gauges and the overall filling of the
				  tank.
