Proposal details

Liquid Fuels Handling Code (LFHC) Requirements that Would Not be Met:

2.1.1.1. Only underground storage tanks that have 360° double-wall containment and that

are certified in accordance with approved standards shall be installed.

4.5.1.1. Product piping systems conforming to an approved standard shall be used for

underground installations and shall have double-wall containment.

Why the Code Would Not be Met

Clauses 2.1.1.1 & 4.5.1.1 of the Liquid Fuels Handling code require that underground tanks and piping have double-wall containment. The existing single wall tanks and piping were installed in 1992 but lost its grandfathered status as the licence to operate the gas station expired for more than 12 months so the installation is treated as new.

Safety Assessment

The tanks and piping have been deemed safe based on the following factors:

  • Tanks and piping are made of fiberglass thus corrosion resistant.
  • Tanks and piping passed Precision Leak Test on August 13, 2025.
  • The facility passed annual inspection by Petroleum Mechanic on June 12, 2025.
