STANDARDS FOR CONTAINMENT/RELEASE DETECTION Clause Samples

The "Standards for Containment/Release Detection" clause establishes the requirements and procedures for monitoring and preventing the release of hazardous substances from storage or containment systems. It typically outlines the types of containment systems that must be used, the frequency and methods of inspections, and the technologies or practices required to detect leaks or breaches, such as sensors or regular testing. This clause ensures that any potential environmental contamination is identified and addressed promptly, thereby minimizing risk to health, safety, and the environment.
STANDARDS FOR CONTAINMENT/RELEASE DETECTION. 1. At a minimum, secondary containment system(s) shall be: (a) Constructed of or lined with materials that are compatible with the hazardous or radioactive substance(s) to be placed in the tank system and shall have sufficient strength and thickness to prevent failure owing to pressure gradients (including static head and external hydrological forces), physical contact with the waste(s) or substances to which it is exposed, climatic conditions, and the stress of daily operation (including stresses from nearby vehicular traffic); (b) Placed on a foundation or base capable of providing support to the secondary containment system, resistance to pressure gradients above and below the system, and capable of preventing failure due to settlement, compression, or uplift; (c) Provided with a leak-detection system that is designed and operated so that it shall detect the failure of either the primary or secondary containment structure or the presence of any leak of hazardous or radioactive constituents, hazardous substances, or accumulated liquid in the secondary containment system within 24 hours, or at the earliest practicable time if the DOE can demonstrate that existing detection technologies or site conditions will not allow detection of a leak within 24 hours; and (d) Sloped or otherwise designed or operated to drain and remove liquids resulting from leaks or precipitation. Leaked substances and accumulated precipitation shall be removed from the secondary containment system within 24 hours, or in as timely a manner as is possible to prevent harm to human health and the environment, if the DOE can demonstrate that removal of the leaked substances or accumulated precipitation cannot be accomplished within 24 hours. (e) Secondary containment for tanks shall include one or more of the following devices: (i) a liner (external to the tank); (ii) a vault; (iii) a double-walled tank; (iv) an equivalent device approved by SCDHEC. (f) In addition to the above requirements, secondary containment systems shall satisfy the following requirements: (i) External liner system shall be: (A) Designed or operated to contain 100 percent of the capacity of the largest tank within its boundary; (B) Designed or operated to prevent run-on or infiltration of precipitation into the secondary containment system unless the collection system has sufficient excess capacity to contain run-on or infiltration. Such additional capacity shall be sufficient to contain precipitation from a 25-yea...

  • Information Technology Accessibility Standards Any information technology related products or services purchased, used or maintained through this Grant must be compatible with the principles and goals contained in the Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards adopted by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board under Section 508 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. §794d), as amended. The federal Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards can be found at: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/508.htm.

  • Evaluation, Testing, and Monitoring 1. The System Agency may review, test, evaluate and monitor Grantee’s Products and services, as well as associated documentation and technical support for compliance with the Accessibility Standards. Review, testing, evaluation and monitoring may be conducted before and after the award of a contract. Testing and monitoring may include user acceptance testing. Neither the review, testing (including acceptance testing), evaluation or monitoring of any Product or service, nor the absence of review, testing, evaluation or monitoring, will result in a waiver of the State’s right to contest the Grantee’s assertion of compliance with the Accessibility Standards. 2. Grantee agrees to cooperate fully and provide the System Agency and its representatives timely access to Products, records, and other items and information needed to conduct such review, evaluation, testing, and monitoring.

  • Commercial Operation Date Testing and Modifications Prior to the Commercial Operation Date, the Connecting Transmission Owner shall test the Connecting Transmission Owner’s Attachment Facilities (including required control technologies and protection systems) and System Upgrade Facilities and System Deliverability Upgrades and Developer shall test the Large Generating Facility and the Developer’s Attachment Facilities to ensure their safe and reliable operation. Similar testing may be required after initial operation. Developer and Connecting Transmission Owner shall each make any modifications to its facilities that are found to be necessary as a result of such testing. Developer shall bear the cost of all such testing and modifications. Developer shall generate test energy at the Large Generating Facility only if it has arranged for the injection of such test energy in accordance with NYISO procedures.
