There is a containment bund (I assume you refer to what I have been calling the "dike").
As far as contents, it's just used oil with water mixed in. Waste that eventually gets pumped out and hauled off site.
I am waiting for the DEQ to tell me what we have to do to get them to bless off on...
It's a 20' tall vertical tank. We found the label but it has no useful information as far as spec goes. It is registered with our state's DEQ.
My gut instinct is to scrap it also, but the people who asked me want to reuse it. I am trying to find a way that lets them do that without just saying...
I don't have a picture right now. They are already beating the dents out and making it round again. Being that this tank was built in the late 70s, what code was it probably constructed to?
I have an 10000 gallon above ground oil storage tank that was imploded due to operator error/ vent abuse. The vent was intentionally clogged by someone trying to do a good deed. Pumping it out caused it to implode. Long story short the tank is now crushed inwards pretty badly.
Before I even get...
