REQUIREI~f~NT$ FOR TEI~PORARY OR PEI~4ANENT CLOSURE/
" ABANDONNENT OF UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS
Kern County Ordinance Code pertaining to the regulation of underground tanks
storing hazardous substances describes requirements for the proper
abandonment/closure of these tanks. Section 3912.5.03 states that:
No person shall close an underground storage tank unless the person
undertakes ail of the following actions after first obtaining a permit
from the Permitting Authority.
A. Demonstrates to the P~rmitting Authority that ail residual
amounts of the hazardous substance or hazardous substances
which were stored in the tank prior to its closure have been
removed, properly disposed of, or neutralized.
B. Adequately seals the- tank to minimize any threat to the
public safety and the possibility of water intrusion into, or
runoff from, the tank.
C. Provides for, and carries out, the maintenance of the tank as
Permitting Authority determines is necessary, for the period
of time the Permitting Authority requires.
D, Demonstrates' to the Permitting Authority that there has been
no significant soil contamination resulting from a discharge
in the area surrounding the dnderground storage tank or
facility.
The following is an excerpt from the Standards and Guidelines developed
by the Kern County Health Department for implementation of this iaw.

within 90 days).
!. I)~tion 1-Operator."l~wner sha]i continue to perform ail permit
inspection and monitorinM requirements ~n accordance with
Permit to Opel'ate issued for facility (Seckion 39i2.5,02),
2. Option 2-Operator/Owner shall undertake the followtnM actions
(Section 3912.5.03}.
a. Complete both sides of appiication for Permit for
Temporary or Permanent Closure/Abandonment of UnderKround
'ranks. If application is approved, permit will be issued
listing any conditions applicable to the abandonment.
b. The required assessment to demonstrate that no significant
soil contamination has resulted in area around tanks shall
be accomplished by analyses of soil or ~roundwater samples
taken from area under and/or around tank(s) per the
following requirements:
l. Minimum numbers of sampies required for preliminary assessment:
Tanks - ~cparate sample for ~ve~-y 150
~nk ~-ea if nampi~ are
PipinM - separate sample for every 15 linear feet of
pipe run.
Z. Minimum depths required for~preliminary assessment:
2 feet below tank or pipinM, and, B feet below tank or
pipin5,
S. Samples must be analyzed for constituents
representative of substance(s) stored· Acceptable
example requirements for common substances are:
gasoline - benzene, toluene, xylene, EbB
waste oil - oil. grease extraction, and lead
diesel - total h~drocarbons
4. The above ~re ~eneral guidelines for minimal
preliminar~ assessments and are not intended to
represent the onl~ requirements should further
investigation be indicated. The full areal and
vertical extent of all contamination resulting from an
unauthorized release must be determined.
c. Obtain permit for temporary closure from local fire
department.
d. Remove. properly dispose of, and/or neutralize ali product
from tank and pipiny s~stem observin~ toc~l fire
department requirements for explosion and fire safety and
applicable State Department of Health Services
requirements for disposal of hazardous substances.
e. Seal tank and draw-off lines in tamper-proof manner to
minimize threst to public safety and possibility of water
intrusion into tank.
f. If the assessment required ~bove indicates environmental
contamination due to tank leakage. Permitting/Enforcement
Authority w~ll provide direction for proper site
mitization. Results of ~ample ~n~ly~es are t'o be

e. Purge flammable vapors in vessel by approved method such
as displacement by use of Carbon Dioxide which will render
remaining tank gases inert.
f. Extreme care must be exercised during all aspects of
handling and removal of tanks containing flammable vapors.
g. If assessment described above indicates environmental
contamination due to tank leakage, Permitting/Enforcement
Authority will provide direction for prpper site
mitigation· Results of sample analyses are to be
