ATCP 93.430 Note
Note: Vehicle collision protection is required for tanks located outside or inside a building in motorized-vehicle or self-propelled-equipment traffic areas, where impact resulting from vehicle speed, turning or backing is a risk factor. For example, vehicle collision protection is required for tanks located adjacent to traffic areas that accommodate public and fleet fueling, service and delivery vehicles, self-propelled construction and service equipment, and forklift equipment.
ATCP 93.430 Note
Vehicle collision protection is not required for tanks adjacent to vehicle and equipment service bays where traffic patterns and speed would not be expected to impact the tank system.
ATCP 93.430 Note
Vehicle collision protection is generally not required at a terminal where roadways are clearly defined, access is restricted to authorized personnel, and vehicle drivers are familiar with the layout of the facilities.

STI SP001 includes optional checklists that may be used for the required record keeping. These checklists and a compendium that contains further guidance for these inspections are available from the Bureau of Weights and Measures, P. O. Box 8911, Madison, WI 53708-8911, or at telephone (608) 224-4942, or from the Bureau's Web site at
