ATCP 93.503 Product inventory verification at retail facilities. ATCP 93.503(1)(1)
This section applies to any tank system from which products are offered for retail sale to the public that are subject to the requirements of ch.
ATCP 94.
ATCP 93.503 Note
Note: Inventory verification can be particularly effective during regulatory investigations of consumer complaints about the quality of purchased fuels.
ATCP 93.503 Note
Note: The inventory verification specified in this section is not required to conform to the inventory control specifications in API 1621.
ATCP 93.503(2)
(2) To verify and maintain the integrity and quantity of delivered products, product inventory verification shall be conducted monthly for the life of the tank system, and reconciled on a monthly basis, in the following manner:
ATCP 93.503(2)(a)
(a) Inventory volume measurements for regulated substance inputs, withdrawals, and the amount still remaining in the tank are recorded each operating day.
ATCP 93.503(2)(b)
(b) The equipment used is capable of measuring the level of product over the full range of the tank's height, to the nearest one-eighth of an inch.
ATCP 93.503(2)(c)
(c) The regulated substance inputs are reconciled with delivery receipts by measurement of the tank inventory volume before and after delivery. Where tanks are interconnected by a manifold, reconciliation may address all of the interconnected tanks as a group rather than as individual tanks.
ATCP 93.503(2)(d)
(d) Product dispensing is metered and recorded in accordance with applicable requirements in ch.
ATCP 92 for meter calibration or an accuracy of 6 cubic inches for every 5 gallons of product withdrawn.
ATCP 93.503(2)(e)
(e) The measurement of any water level in the bottom of the tank is made to the nearest one-eighth of an inch at least once a month.
ATCP 93.503(3)
(3) The reconciliation under sub.
(2) shall be used to determine whether either of the following are indicated:
ATCP 93.503(3)(b)
(b) Unauthorized product mixing has occurred, as indicated by an unexplained increase or decrease in product level and as addressed in ch.
ATCP 94.
ATCP 93.503 Note
Note: Where inventory control is used as the leak detection method, under s.
ATCP 93.515 (2), the measurements and procedures followed there will satisfy the requirements for inventory verification in this section.
ATCP 93.503 Note
Note: Where statistical inventory reconciliation is used as the leak detection method, under s.
ATCP 93.515 (6), the same data may be used for the statistical inventory reconciliation and the inventory verification in this section, provided the requirements of the statistical inventory reconciliation vendor and of this section are both met, including the monthly reconciliation in this section.

ATCP 93.505(1)(a)(a) Prior to delivery, the operator of the fuel delivery equipment that is transferring the product shall ensure that the volume available in the tank is greater than the volume of product to be transferred to the tank.
ATCP 93.505(1)(b)
(b) The transfer operation shall be monitored constantly by the operator of the delivery equipment so as to prevent overfilling and spilling.

2. The basin shall be equipped with either a drain system that directs spilled product into the tank or a mechanism to pump product out of the basin.
ATCP 93.505(2)(a)3.a.a. The basin shall be tested for leaks hydrostatically at installation in accordance with any manufacturer's instructions, and the adopted standard PEI RP 1200, except as provided in subd.
3. b. ATCP 93.505(2)(a)3.b.
b. The testing in subd.
3. a. may be omitted for a spill containment basin that has continuous electronic pressure, vacuum, liquid-filled interstitial monitoring in addition to double-wall construction, if the monitoring system is tested at installation to verify that it operates in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
ATCP 93.505(2)(b)1.1. Overfill prevention equipment shall be provided that will operate as follows unless approved otherwise in writing by the department:
