Survey results are kept permanently in the Facilities Department and OSHD and updated, as

required.

a. ASTs Not in Use. ASTs no longer in use must be drained, capped, signed, and closed in

accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.

b. AST Training. The SA, with assistance from the respective department head that operates an

AST, must identify state regulatory requirements.

The SA, with the assistance of the Facilities Manager, must develop AST training addressing, at

a minimum:

 Operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges

 Discharge procedure protocols

 Applicable pollution control laws, rules, and regulations

 General facility operations

 Contents of the institution’s SPCC plan, as specified within the SPCC plan

 Location of institution spill response materials

OSHD staff must address state and local AST regulations and SPCC plan requirements within

the training.

c. AST Maintenance and Inspection. The Facilities Manager must input AST maintenance

and inspections requirements, per manufacturer, state, and SPCC requirements, into the

computerized maintenance system and ensure maintenance is performed. The list of required

inspection points must reflect those required in the SPCC plan. Documentation must be

maintained for three years.

Monthly, the SA must ensure an institution-wide AST inspection is conducted. If the facility has

a SPCC plan, inspections are conducted to meet SPCC requirements, using the checklists

included within the plan. The checklists may be entered into the computerized maintenance

system. Uncorrected discrepancies are reported in the monthly safety and environmental report.

All recurring discrepancies must be presented at the Institution Environmental Management

Committee meeting for corrective and preventative action.

Annually, the SA must review the institution AST program using the mandatory AST Checklist,

found on the Environmental Compliance page of the Bureau’s intranet site. Documentation must

be kept by the OSHD for at least four years.
