This monthly inspection checklist is used to inspect aboveground storage tanks and identify any issues that require correction. The checklist examines the condition of the tanks, piping, drainage, and safety equipment for signs of deterioration. It also checks for water in fuel tanks, liquid in containment areas, proper sealing of openings and connections, clean spill basins, functioning gauges and vents, operational equipment, leaks, clear access, and availability of spill kits. Any deficiencies noted during the inspection must be promptly addressed.
