NOTE: Before proceeding with the construction, installation,
erection, alteration or remodeling of any boiler, furnace, incinerator,
wood burner, heat-producing apparatus, air-cooled, water-cooled or
mechanically cooled air conditioning or refrigeration system, storage
tanks or other equipment pertaining to the use of flammable liquids,
a permit shall be first obtained from the Building Inspector.
|
A.
Temporarily out-of-service. Tanks shall be rendered "temporarily
out-of-service" only when it is planned that they will return to active
service at the location within 90 days. The following steps shall
be carried successively:
(1)
Removal of a flammable liquid which can be pumped out with a service
pump.
(2)
Cap or plug the fill line, gauge opening and pump suction, using
appropriate sealing compound on pipe fittings. If fill line and gauge
opening are equipped with caps which can be properly locked, the secure
locking of these caps is sufficient.
(3)
Leave the vent line open.
B.
Abandoned tanks. Tanks which are no longer in service may be rendered "temporarily out-of-service" pending their removal in accordance with the procedure outlined in Subsection E.
C.
Leaking tanks. All tanks found to be leaking shall be removed as per Subsection E(5). Such removal shall be completed within the time required by the Village Building Inspector, and no later than 60 days from the date of notice from the Building Inspector.

[Amended 8-13-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-08]
E.
Removal of tanks. Tanks shall be removed according to the following
successive steps:
(1)
Remove all flammable liquid from connecting lines and tank.
(2)
Disconnect and remove, insofar as possible, the suction, inlet, gauge
and vent lines.
(3)
Cap or plug open ends of remaining lines.
(4)
Close all openings in the tank with pipe plugs before the tank is
removed from the ground.
(5)
Remove the tank from the premises within 72 hours from the time the
tank is uncovered. This seventy-two-hour period commences upon the
initial digging or excavation to remove the tank, and terminates only
when the tank is physically removed from the site.
[Amended 8-13-2013 by Ord. No. 2013-08]
(6)
Keep the tank tightly sealed with plugs or caps until it is removed
from the premises and during transportation upon its removal.
F.
If removal of the tank from the ground would affect the structural
integrity of the building and if the Building Inspector and/or the
Fire Inspector determines a condition of hardship to exist, the tank
may be abandoned in place and filled with an inert material after
emptying and cleaning of the tank. The tank cleaning would be performed
by a certified tank cleaner.
