All suspected releases require a system check. If the system check detects problems, repair them and perform a site check and proceed to Figure 2. If the system check detects no problems and no environmental impact is noted, the Release Determination Report Form (TCEQ-0621) should be submitted as documentation. Confirmed releases with a known environmental impact and source will proceed to Figure 2.</p> <h3><a name="figure2" id="figure2"></a>Figure 2 PST Release Investigation - Release Reporting</h3> <img src="/assets/public/remediation/pst_cleanup/images/figure2.jpg" alt="Figure 2 from RG-411 Investigating and Reporting Releases from Petroleum Storage Tanks (PSTs)" style="width: 589; height: 744"/> <p>This flow chart describes the reporting process for releases of known environmental impact. Environmental Samples collected during the site check are compared to the <a href="https://www.tceq.texas.gov/remediation/pst_rp/downloads.html">TCEQ Action Levels</a>. If no detections of the COCs listed on Table 3 are noted, a Release Determination Report Form (TCEQ-0621) must be submitted. Any detection of TPH in the greater than C12 carbon range requires PAH analysis. If any detected COCs other than TPH exceed action levels in soil or tank hold water, or if NAPL is present, a Release Determination Report Form must be submitted. The release will be assigned an LPST number and is subject to 30 TAC 334 rules.</p> <h3><a name="figure3" id="figure3"></a>Figure 3 Tank Hold Sampling Locations: No Water Present, Tanks up to 5 Feet in Length</h3> <img src="/assets/public/remediation/pst_cleanup/images/figure3.jpg" alt="Figure 3 from RG-411 Investigating and Reporting Releases from Petroleum Storage Tanks (PSTs)" style="width: 544; height: 258" /> <p>Fig. 3 illustrates the tank hold sampling location with tanks up to 5 feet in length and water not present.

Collect one sample under fill port and two under tank ends. If fill port is within 3 feet of tank end, sample from the middle under the tank instead.</p> <h3><a name="figure6" id="figure6">Figure </a>6. Tank Hold Sampling Locations: Water Present (Cross Section)</h3> <img src="/assets/public/remediation/pst_cleanup/images/figure6.jpg" alt="Figure 6 from RG-411 Investigating and Reporting Releases from Petroleum Storage Tanks (PSTs)" style="width: 558; height: 190" /> <p>Fig. 6 illustrates the cross section view of the tank hold sampling location with water present. Collect samples immediately above soil-water interface, two samples on each end if tank hold has single tank less than 10 feet in length, or four samples if the tank hold has multiple tanks or a single tank greater than 10 feet in length.</p> <h3><a name="figure7" id="figure7">Figure </a>7. Tank Hold Sampling Locations: Water Present (Plan View)</h3> <img src="/assets/public/remediation/pst_cleanup/images/figure7.jpg" alt="Figure 7 from RG-411 Investigating and Reporting Releases from Petroleum Storage Tanks (PSTs)" style="width: 464; height: 291" /> <p>Fig. 7 illustrates the plan view of the tank hold sampling location with water present.</p> <h3><a name="figure8" id="figure8">Figure </a>8.

Collect one sample from the supply side of each dispenser, 1 foot into the native soil under the dispenser piping. For dispensers within 5 feet of each other, collect one sample halfway between the dispensers.</p> <h3><a name="figure11" id="figure11">Figure </a>11.

Drill soil borings within 3 to 5 feet of the tanks angled in toward and under the tanks, one about every 25 feet of the tank hold perimeter. Collect samples from the borings one foot deeper than the bottom of the tank hold. </p> <h3><a name="figure12" id="figure12">Figure </a>12.

Release Reporting – Analytical Considerations</h3> <img src="/assets/public/remediation/pst_cleanup/images/figure14.jpg" alt="Figure 14 from RG-411 Investigating and Reporting Releases from Petroleum Storage Tanks (PSTs)" style="width:863; height:587" /> <p>This flow chart describes the analytical requirements to be considered during release reporting. When COCs exceed action levels, an LPST number will be assigned. When COCs are not detected or detected less than action levels and the SDLs are less than action levels, submit the laboratory data package documenting that all detections and non detections are less than action levels. If COCs are not detected but SDLs are greater than the action levels, request the lab to lower the SDLs. If unable to lower SDLs, resample and reanalyze, or consider the COC detected at that SDL.</p> <p><a href="#top">Back to top.</a></p> </body> </html>
