Ensuring the safety and reliability of aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) involves regular and thorough inspections, a process meticulously outlined in the STI SP001 Annual Tank Inspection Checklist. Facilitated by the Bureau of Weights & Measures Permit & Licensing Section, this checklist serves as a comprehensive guide for inspectors and tank owners in Wisconsin, detailing the necessary steps to assess the condition of ASTs and their containment structures. It emphasizes the importance of inspector familiarity with the equipment, operational methods, and manufacturer's maintenance and inspection guidelines. Although not requiring a certified inspector, the checklist mandates a designated person who is well-acquainted with the site to perform the inspection, ensuring they can detect issues like corrosion, leaks, or equipment failures early on. The form includes detailed sections on tank containment, foundation, supports, cathodic protection, and more, highlighting the need for corrective actions where discrepancies are noted. Also, it prescribes immediate post-severe weather or maintenance inspections for critical components, ensuring the tank's integrity and operational safety remain uncompromised. Collectively, the STI SP001 checklist not only aids in regulatory compliance but also in the prolonged functionality and environmental protection efforts associated with the storage of various products.
