ATCP 93.050(69)(69) “Marine-craft tank vehicle” means any tank having a liquid capacity of 110 gallons or more, used for carrying flammable or combustible liquids and mounted permanently or otherwise upon a vessel or barge capable of water transportation. The tank is not solely for the purpose of supplying fuel for the propulsion of, or support of equipment on, the vessel upon which the tank is mounted.

ATCP 93.050(71)(71) “Monthly monitoring” means an approved electronic or non-electronic method of testing a tank or pipe for a leak at least monthly. The test shall detect a 0.2 gallon per hour leak rate with a probability of detection of 0.95 and a probability of false alarm of 0.05. For purposes of monitoring on a monthly cycle, the department will accept tests no further than 30 days apart. ATCP 93.050(72)(72) “Motor fuel” means flammable or combustible liquid that is used in the operation of an internal combustion or turbine engine. ATCP 93.050(73)(73) “Motor vehicle” means a self-propelled motor-driven vehicle that is used for moving people or products on land, water or air, except this term does not include any vehicle which is operated exclusively on a rail. “Motor vehicle” in this definition is intended to apply to motorized equipment transporting people and goods for pleasure, construction or commerce, rather than equipment dedicated to warehousing and yard operations, such as forklifts; or for grounds and facility maintenance, such as lawnmowers; or for amusement facilities, such as go-carts. ATCP 93.050 NoteNote: Based on this definition, fuel storage tanks on a railroad train or other motorized equipment which operates exclusively on a rail are regulated under this chapter and NFPA 30 as non-vehicle fueling tanks, and NFPA 30A does not apply to them.
ATCP 93.050(74)(74) “New” means installed or constructed on or after November 1, 2019. ATCP 93.050(75)(75) “Non-discriminating” means not discriminating as to the type of liquid. ATCP 93.050(76)(76) “Obvious release” means there is an indication of a release, and there is both environmental evidence, such as soil discoloration, observable free product, or odors — and a known source, such as a tank or piping with cracks, holes or rust plugs, or leaking joints. ATCP 93.050 NoteNote: See sub. (62) for a definition of “leak,” sub. (103) for a definition of “release” and sub. (113) for a definition of “suspected release.”
ATCP 93.050(77)(77) “Oil-burning equipment” means an oil burner of any type, together with its tank, piping, wiring, controls and related devices, and including all oil burners, oil-fired units and heating and cooking appliances. ATCP 93.050(78)(78) “Operational life” means the period beginning when installation of the tank system has commenced and extending to when the tank system either is closed in accordance with s. ATCP 93.460 or 93.560, or undergoes a change in service to store a non-regulated substance in accordance with s. ATCP 93.450 or 93.550. ATCP 93.050(79)(79) “Operator” means any person in control of, or having responsibility for, the daily operation of a storage tank system. ATCP 93.050(80)(a)(a) In the case of an in-use storage tank system, any person who owns at least the tank storage portion of a storage tank system used for storage or dispensing of regulated substances, or the person owning the property on which the storage tank system is located. ATCP 93.050(80)(b)(b) In the case of a storage tank system not in use, any person who owned at least the tank storage portion of the storage tank system immediately before the discontinuation of its use, or the person owning the property on which the storage tank system is located. ATCP 93.050(81)(81) “Person” means an individual, trust, firm, joint stock company, federal agency, corporation, state, municipality, commission, political subdivision of a state, or any interstate body, and includes a consortium, joint venture, commercial entity, and the United States government.

ATCP 93.050(84)(84) “Pier” means any structure, such as a dock, which extends into navigable waters from the shore, with water on both sides, and which is built or maintained for the purpose of servicing watercraft, providing a berth for watercraft, or for loading or unloading cargo or passengers onto or from watercraft. A pier may be an open deck or solid-fill structure. ATCP 93.050(85)(85) “Pipe” or “piping” means a pressure-tight cylinder used to convey, transfer or move a fluid, and is ordinarily designated “pipe” in applicable material specifications. Materials designated as tube or tubing in the specifications are considered pipe when intended for pressure service. This term includes pipe emanating from or feeding storage tanks, or transferring product to or from storage tanks. ATCP 93.050(85m)(85m) “Pipeline facilities,” including gathering lines, means new and existing pipe rights-of-way and any equipment, facilities, or buildings. ATCP 93.050(86)(86) “Pipe system” or “piping system” means the primary piping, secondary containment, leak detection devices, tubing, including suction line drop tube, flanges, bolts, gaskets, valves, fittings, flexible connectors, the pressure-containing parts of other components such as expansion joints and strainers, and devices that serve such purposes as mixing, separating, distributing, metering, or controlling flow, and any core components which allow the piping system to function as intended and in accordance with the installation requirements. ATCP 93.050 NoteNote: For a typical underground system, the pipe system would be from the point of connection at the tank to the connection to the dispenser, immediately downstream of the emergency shutoff valve.
