Quick Take: Items to Include in a Daily Tank Inspection

From a USEPA guidance document (EPA OSWER Directive 9523.00-10), the following are examples of items that can be considered for inclusion in a typical tank inspection checklist or record:

  • Appropriate tank and piping labeling / marking.
  • Leaks from tanks, pumps, and inlet/ outlet nozzles or flanges.
  • Leaks from or damage to ancillary equipment.
  • Seal integrity on manholes, gauge hatches, weather shields, and level gauges.
  • High liquid level / overflow.
  • Structurally intact with no damage to tank walls.
  • Evidence of corrosion, excessive rusting, or damage.
  • Overfilling controls operative.
  • Secondary containment free of waste, chips, cracks, holes, etc.
  • Any sump pump operations.
