Site Diagram Minimum test locations for each tank & line.
Sketch the facility below showing tanks, piping, buildings, vent lines
and dispenser islands. Include all surface openings to tanks for pumps,
fill pipes, tank monitoring, etc. Provide tank identification.
On the diagram identify reference cell test locations with an “R” and a
sequential number (R1, R2, etc.). Do the same for structure locations
using “S” (S1, S2, etc.).
Dispenser
When taking structure to soil potential readings, the reference cell must be as close to the structure as possible and be in
direct contact with the soil or backfill material around the tank and piping. For tank potential readings, soil or backfill may
be accessed through openings for pump risers, tank monitors, etc. directly above tank when available. Permanent cathodic
protection monitoring stations providing access to soil or backfill may need to be established through concrete or asphalt
paving above tank and piping. Do not take structure to soil potential readings with the reference cell directly on concrete
or asphalt paving. Potential readings made in this manner are not valid and will not be accepted.
