recommendations include procedures to
be followed and operating conditions to
be maintained by contractors, workers
and engineers preparing, inspecting,
testing and lining the interiors of existing
underground storage tanks.
Requirements for vapor-freeing tanks,
removing sediment and cleaning interior
surfaces of steel and fiberglass tanks as

are suitable for lining, are also included.
All work associated with the interior
lining and periodic inspection of
underground storage tanks shall be
accomplished in accordance with
applicable federal, state, and local
regulations, including applicable
environmental and safety requirements.
The methods described in this standard
are applicable to steel and
fiberglass-reinforced plastic tanks used
for the storage of petroleum-based motor
fuels and middle distillates. The
procedures are applicable to tanks
