If visual monitoring is used for release detection in a single walled tank, how often must it be conducted?

Visual monitoring for release detection in a single-walled tank is a crucial preventive measure for identifying leaks and ensuring environmental safety. Performing visual monitoring daily helps in promptly detecting any signs of a release, such as leaks or spills, minimizing the risk of contamination to surrounding soil and groundwater.

This frequency is part of regulatory requirements established for tank management to maintain compliance and ensure that potential problems are addressed as soon as possible, which is vital for protecting public health and the environment. By conducting daily observations, issues can be identified quickly and necessary actions can be taken, reinforcing the importance of vigilance in tank maintenance and safety protocols.
