STI SP001 Monthly Inspection Checklist
General Inspection Information:
Inspection Date:
Prior Inspection Date:
Retain Until Date:
(36 months from inspection date)
Inspector Name:
Tanks Inspected (ID #s):
Inspection Guidance:
For equipment not included in this Standard, follow the manufacturer recommended inspection/testing schedules and procedures.
The periodic AST Inspection is intended for monitoring the external AST condition and its containment structure. This visual inspection does not require a Certified
Inspector. It shall be performed by an owners inspector who is familiar with the site and can identify changes and developing problems.
Upon discovery of water in the primary tank, secondary containment area, interstice, or spill container, remove promptly or take other corrective action. Before
discharge to the environment, inspect the liquid for regulated products or other contaminants and disposed of it properly.
(*) designates an item in a non-conformance status. This indicates that action is required to address a problem.
Non-conforming items important to tank or containment integrity require evaluation by an engineer experienced in AST design, a Certified Inspector, or a tank
manufacturer who will determine the corrective action. Note the non-conformance and corresponding corrective action in the comment section.
Retain the completed checklists for 36 months.
In the event of severe weather (snow, ice, wind storms) or maintenance (such as painting) that could affect the operation of critical components
(normal and emergency vents, valves), an inspection of these components is required as soon as the equipment is safely accessible after the event.

Inspector Name:
Tanks Inspected (ID #s):
Inspection Guidance:
For equipment not included in this Standard, follow the manufacturer recommended inspection/testing schedules and procedures.
The periodic AST Inspection is intended for monitoring the external AST condition and its containment structure. This visual inspection does not require a Certified
Inspector. It shall be performed by an owners inspector who is familiar with the site and can identify changes and developing problems.
Remove promptly upon discovery standing water or liquid in the primary tank, secondary containment area, interstice, or spill container. Before discharge to the
environment, inspect the liquid for regulated products or other contaminants and disposed of it properly.
In order to comply with EPA SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure) rules, a facility must regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper
operation (40 CFR 112.8(c)(8)(v)).
(*) designates an item in a non-conformance status. This indicates that action is required to address a problem.
Non-conforming items important to tank or containment integrity require evaluation by an engineer experienced in AST design, a Certified Inspector, or a tank
manufacturer who will determine the corrective action. Note the non-conformance and corresponding corrective action in the comment section.
Retain the completed checklists for 36 months.
Complete this checklist on an annual basis supplemental to the owner monthly-performed inspection checklists.
Note: If a change has occurred to the tank system or containment that may affect the SPCC plan, the condition should be evaluated against the current
plan requirement by a Professional Engineer knowledgeable in SPCC development and implementation.

tank via a separate
pipe or tubing.)
Cycle power to valve

opening and closing. If
no audible
confirmation, the valve
should be inspected
for the presence and
operation of the
plunger.)
