SECTION 165:15-3-23. Marina inspections

  In addition to the inspection requirements for all facilities, Fuel Specialists must inspect items particular to marina petroleum storage tank systems.

(1)   Aboveground tanks. The Fuel Specialist must ensure that the special requirements of marina aboveground tanks are met. The tanks must be appropriately located and have a capacity appropriate to their locations. The Fuel Specialist will also check these requirements:

(A)   Atmospheric tanks, including those incorporating secondary containment, must be built in accordance with recognized standards of design or approved equivalents. Atmospheric tanks must be built, installed and used within the scope of Commission standards.

(B)   If the tank produces a gravity head, it must be equipped with a normally-closed solenoid valve, and manual shutoff valves must be located at the tank and at the shoreline.

(2)   Requirements for dispensers and attached parts. The Fuel Specialist will ensure that fueling hoses are well-maintained, and that dispensing devices at marine service stations are appropriately located apart from other structures to allow for safe ingress and egress of watercraft for fueling.

(3)   Tight fill connection requirements. The Fuel Specialist will ensure that tight fill connection requirements at marinas are met, including appropriate valves on tanks filled through remote piping.

(4)   Attendants at marinas. Each marine service station may have an attendant or supervisor on duty when the station is open for business. The attendant's primary function is to supervise, observe, and control the dispensing of fuels to ensure that all safety requirements are met, and that the waters of the state are not contaminated by fuel.

(5)   Miscellaneous safety requirements. The Fuel Specialist will ensure that required signs and appropriately located fire extinguishers are in place. There must also be a knife at the fuel dock for quickly cutting mooring lines in an emergency and a push pole for shoving away a boat.
