ARE YOUR HAZARDOUS WASTE TANK ASSESSMENTS CURRENT?

Recent industrial accidents, chemical spills, and media coverage in various parts of the country have highlighted the need to ensure that storage facilities are in compliance with all required environmental health and safety regulations.

If you are a Large Quantity Generator (LQG) of hazardous waste, and use aboveground tanks to store hazardous waste, you are most likely required to have your tanks assessed by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) every five (5) years.

The California Code of Regulation, Title 22 requires a Professional Engineer (PE) to assess, at least, the following elements of your tank system:

• leak detection equipment
• corrosion protection equipment
• spill prevention or overfill equipment
• secondary containment
• general condition
• remaining service life of the tank

With a team of trained Professional Engineers on staff, Alta can help you keep your assessments current.
