other containments or treatment facilities on-site. However,
take the level of contamination in each containment area into
consideration. Do not use asphalt within a containment area.
e) For off-loading tank trucks, arrange the flow of
traffic to permit continuous forward movement of tank trucks
at all times. Commercial tank trucks off-load on the
passenger side.
f) To determine the number of connections needed for
off-loading tank cars, consult with Service Headquarters and
consider minimizing tank car movements, tank car shipping
schedules, conveyance turn-around times, local rail switching
capabilities, and quantity of fuel needed for one day's fuel
supply.
g) Provide an electrical design that meets the
minimum requirements of NFPA 70, NFPA 77, and NFPA 780. Treat
combustible liquids under pressure as flammable liquids.
h) When authorized by Service Headquarters, protect
the off-loading rack by a weather cover designed for severe
weather conditions. The weather cover must be justified by
severe environmental conditions impacting operations, low
temperature, and snow or economically justified by reducing
stormwater runoff and eliminating the need for stormwater
collection and treatment. If the protective structure is
included in the design, ensure that the underside of the roof
is high enough to provide operator head room when walking on
top of the truck or for access to rail car domes. Ensure
structural design is in accordance with the Army Corps of
Engineers Architectural and Engineering Instruction (AEI) and
MIL-HDBK-1002/3.
i) Provide for egress and entrance of emergency
response vehicles.
j) Provide a means of inbound filtration for all
products. For aviation turbine fuels, this is normally a
filter/separator, as described in Section 4 of this handbook.
Provide two sets of horizontal filter/separators installed in
parallel, each vessel designed to handle 150 percent of normal
off-loading flow rate (in the 1200 gpm size, only vertical f/s
may be available). Provide each vessel with a feature to
automatically switch the fuel stream to the other vessel when
