Register October 2019 No. 766, eff. 11-1-19. ATCP 93.500(1)(a)(a) General. All new and replacement underground storage tanks and piping systems shall be provided with secondary containment and continuous electronic interstitial monitoring, except as provided in par. (b). ATCP 93.500 NoteNote: This section is coordinated with the federal Energy Policy Act of 2005, which addresses secondary containment for federally regulated tanks or piping installed within 1,000 feet of any community water system or any potable drinking water well, and which requires interstitial monitoring for any associated double-wall tanks or piping.
ATCP 93.500(1)(b)1.1. Any farm or residential underground storage tank system which has a capacity of less than 1,100 gallons and which is used for storing motor fuel for noncommercial purposes. ATCP 93.500(1)(b)2.2. Any underground storage tank system which has a capacity of less than 4,000 gallons and which is used for storing heating oil for consumptive use on the premises where stored. ATCP 93.500(1)(c)1.1. Electronic interstitial monitoring installed in new tank or pipe systems after November 1, 2019, shall have the ability to generate a printed status report and alarm history report, except as provided in subd. 2.

Tanks that are moved from one underground location to another shall meet all of the following requirements: ATCP 93.500(3)(c)1.1. The integrity of the tank shall be assessed and certified by the manufacturer, or a registered professional engineer, stating that the tank still meets the construction requirements in s. ATCP 93.250. The certification and a report of the assessment shall be included in the plan review documentation for the new installation. ATCP 93.500(3)(c)2.2. The integrity assessment required in subd. 1 shall occur after the tank has been removed. ATCP 93.500(4)(a)(a) Underground storage tank systems shall be designed and constructed to allow access to all connections between the tank and piping, venting, and appurtenances that require maintenance, inspection or replacement. ATCP 93.500 NoteNote: Piping elbows are an example of connections that do not need access because typically they do not need maintenance or inspection. Valves, extractor fittings, flex connectors, corrosion-protection test connections, and overfill prevention devices are examples of connections that need this access.
ATCP 93.500(4)(b)(b) The means of access shall be sufficient in size to allow for installation, maintenance, and inspection of all system appurtenances. ATCP 93.500(4)(c)(c) The means of access shall allow sufficient clearance for proper drainage from surface water incursion. ATCP 93.500(5)(a)1.1. When any underground product piping is installed as part of a new tank system or when 50 percent or more of a run is replaced, the piping shall be provided with approved secondary containment with non-discriminating electronic interstitial monitoring, except as specified in subd. 2., sub. (1) (b), and s. ATCP 93.300 (7). ATCP 93.500 NoteNote: Underground fill piping is included in the piping that is addressed by this subdivision.
ATCP 93.500(5)(a)2.a.a. Sumps for new or replacement underground fill piping that does not drop vertically into a tank may be monitored visually on a monthly basis, instead of monitored with an electronic sensor. ATCP 93.500(5)(a)2.b.b. Secondary containment is not required for underground fill piping that drops vertically into a tank. ATCP 93.500(5)(a)2.c.c. Secondary containment is not required for pedestal-type suction pumps with a vertical riser that is readily visible and is located directly above the riser connection to the tank. ATCP 93.500(5)(b)(b) The material used for fabricating both the primary and secondary containment shall be listed in accordance with a standard that assures liquid- and vapor-tightness. ATCP 93.500 NoteNote: The UL 971 standard meets this requirement.
ATCP 93.500(5)(c)(c) All pipe connections provided at the dispenser and at the top of the tank that routinely contain product and are installed or replaced on or after February 1, 2009, shall be placed within a secondary containment sump. ATCP 93.500(5)(d)(d) All existing pipe connections at the top of the tank and beneath all freestanding pumps and dispensers that routinely contain product shall be placed within secondary containment sumps by January 1, 2021. ATCP 93.500(5)(e)(e) All pipe connections at a transition between aboveground and underground piping that are installed or replaced on or after February 1, 2009, shall be placed within a secondary containment sump at the time of installation or replacement. ATCP 93.500(5)(f)1.1. Secondary containment sumps provided under this subsection shall have non-discriminating electronic sensors to detect liquids located in the lowest collection point of the sump, unless approved otherwise by the department. ATCP 93.500(5)(f)2.2. Piping that is installed or replaced on or after August 1, 2009, at secondary containment sumps provided under this subsection may not pass through the bottom of the sump. ATCP 93.500(5)(f)3.3. All electrical conduit and wiring that is installed or replaced on or after August 1, 2009, at secondary containment sumps provided under this subsection for dispensers shall pass over the top of the sump wall rather than through the wall or bottom of the sump. ATCP 93.500 NoteNote: This subsection recognizes existing dispenser pans, spray-on liners, brushed-on liners, formed-in-place containment products, and other effective secondary containment practices that are currently in use.
ATCP 93.500(5)(g)(g) A tank-connection sump is not required for a safe suction piping system, installed before August 1, 2009, unless 50 percent or more of a run is replaced after that date. ATCP 93.500(5)(h)(h) Secondary containment is not required for a pipe manifold connecting 2 or more tanks, installed before August 1, 2009.
