Does anyone know if there is a minimum height requirement for a concrete wall secondary containment for AGHST's?

I have read that the containment volume should be adequate to contain the volume of the largest tank plus have sufficient freeboard for a 100 year storm event (for a 24 hr period?) & that is typically 110% of the largest tank; but is there any minimum (or maximum) requirement for the wall height (i.e., the sides) of the spill containment area?
