Fuel Tank Replacement at Ancil Hoffman & Cherry Island Gold Course and Gibson Ranch Park

Fuel Tank Replacement at Ancil Hoffman & Cherry Island Gold Course and Gibson Ranch Park

The proposed project consists of one 1,000 gallon gas underground storage tank (UST) that will be removed at Ancil Hoffman and replaced with one 500 gallon gas above ground storage tank (AST); one 1,000 gallon gas UST, one 500 gallon diesel UST, and one 500 gallon oil waste UST at Cherry Island that will be removed and 1,000 gallon diesel UST at Gibson Ranch that will be removed and replaced with one 500 gallon split AST (250 gallon gas/250 gallon diesel). The underground storage tanks and monitoring systems at the subject sites are either out of compliance or will be as of the end of this year. The yearly monitoring costs continue to increase for USTs and are considerably greater than those for ASTs. This is a maintenance project to reduce the yearly permitting costs, meet current equipment and monitoring regulations, and avoid future contamination of the surrounding soil. Replacing the existing USTs with ASTs will bring the fueling and monitoring equipment into compliance. The ASTs are self-contained and have the monitoring and pumping mechanisms directly attached to the tanks. The new ASTS are located in slightly different locations than the existing ones, allowing later UST removal and avoiding the problem of not having fuel available during construction. All sites within existing corporation yards and no environmentally sensitive areas are nearby.
