Contractor shall verify that all electrical sources to tanks, pumps, dispensers
and instruments have been de-energized and disconnected prior to
commencing work.
B.
Prior to commencing tank removal operations, Owner will attempt to empty

ASTs as completely as possible with existing pumping system.
C.
Piping: Prior to commencing removal, all fuel and used oil piping shall be
completely drained by the Contractor with all product being flushed and
drained back into the storage tanks. Under no circumstances, shall product
be allowed to drain from the piping into the surrounding ground areas.
D.
Pump Out: All remaining liquids, solids, and sludges inside ASTs shall be
completely removed by the Contractor and disposed of in accordance with
Federal and State regulations. Any material that is not considered recyclable
shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable federal and state laws at
Contractors expense. Copies of Bill of Lading and chain-of-custody for the
disposal of hazardous materials shall be submitted to the Engineer.
Contractor shall make allowances to remove and dispose of up to 500 gallons
of liquids, solids and/or sludges from the ASTs.
E.
Pumps: All vacuum and transfer pump motors and suction hoses shall be
grounded to the tank to prevent electrostatic ignition hazards.
Only
explosion-proof or air driven pumps shall be allowed at the site.
F.
Inerting:
1)
Before tank removal, the tank shall be rendered inert with the addition of
dry ice, compressed nitrogen gas or carbon dioxide gas. Flammable
vapors expelled from the tank during this process shall be vented a
minimum of 12 feet above grade and three (3) feet above adjacent roof
lines. The tank removals shall not proceed if atmospheric conditions will
prevent the dispersal and dilution of the vapors discharged from the
tank.
2)
Inerting with Dry Ice: The vapors in the tank may be inert by adding dry
ice in the amount of 1.5 pounds per 100 gallons (minimum) of tank
capacity. Dry ice shall be crushed and distributed evenly over the
greatest possible area on the tank bottom. Avoid skin contact with dry
ice. As dry ice evaporates, flammable vapors may surround the area.
Observe all safety precautions regarding flammable vapors.
3)
Ignition: Shut down all open flame and spark producing equipment
within vapor hazard area (50 feet from tank). Ban smoking. Remove all
non explosion proof electrical and internal combustion equipment.
Utilize only non sparking tools to be used on expose tank fittings.
Minimize static electricity by grounding all working equipment.
4)
During the inerting process, the oxygen level in the tank shall be
checked continuously with an oxygen and CGI meter. Achieve an
oxygen level as close to zero percent as practicable. When the process
is successfully completed, plug all openings, except for the vent line, and
commence tank removal.
2.3. TANK AND PIPING REMOVAL
A.
Safety: Exercise care during tank removal to minimize spark production.

Monitor the site atmosphere with a CGI during all activities.
B.
Continued Testing: After initial purging/inerting, periodically continue testing

both in and around tank with CGI until tank is removed from site.
C.
Removal: Contractor shall provide equipment of sufficient capacity to lift

tanks and load on transportation vehicle. Dragging of tanks shall not be
allowed.
D.
Underground piping shall be excavated to allow vertical extraction. Piping

shall not be pulled horizontally from trench. All product lines shall be
removed in their entirety.
E.
Engineer will screen selected soils samples as collected by the Engineer.
F.
Should potentially contaminated soils be encountered during tank, foundation,

and/or piping is removal , Engineer will instruct Contractor to separate clean
versus contaminated soils based on field screening measurements and
observations. Contractor shall stockpile potentially contaminated soils on a
portion of property pending disposition of same. Potentially contaminated
soils shall be placed atop 6-mil visqueen barrier and covered with secured 6mil visqueen of sufficient strength suitable for protection against elements.

provide adequate protection from run-on storm water.
G.
Disposition of any potentially contaminated soils shall be as directed by

Engineer in conjunction with the Owner. Potentially contaminated soils will
remain stockpiled on site pending completion of sampling, testing and
approval for disposal.
H.

The tank(s) shall not be stored at the site overnight after removal.
B.
Testing: Prior to shipping, test in and around tank with CGI to ensure that
flammable vapor concentration does not exceed safe levels for transportation.
C.
Labeling: Label as to vapor state, vapor inerting treatment and date. Also,
permanently label tank with 2-inch high letters as follows:
TANK HAS CONTAINED FLAMMABLE LIQUID
NOT GAS FREE
NOT SUITABLE FOR FOOD OR DRINKING WATER INTENDED
FOR ANIMAL OR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
3.
D.
Transportation: The tank shall be secured on a vehicle for transportation to

the disposal site.
