1 Appendix AEPA Forms for the Pneumercator TMS 2000 and TMS 3000 automatic Tank gauging SystemATGS - Results Form Page 1 of 2 Results of EPA Standard EvaluationAutomatic Tank gauging system (ATGS)This form tells whether the automatic tank gauging system (ATGS) described below complies with theperformance requirements of the federal underground storage tank regulation. The evaluation wasconducted by the equipment manufacturer or a consultant to the manufacturer according to the EPA's"Standard Test Procedure for Evaluating Leak Detection Methods: automatic Tank gauging Systems.
2 " Thefull evaluation report also includes a form describing the method and a form summarizing the test data. Tank owners using this leak detection system should keep this form on file to provide compliance with thefederal regulations. Tank owners should check with State and local agencies to make sure this form satisfiestheir DescriptionName Pneumercator Company automatic Tank gauging system Version number TMS 2000 and TMS 3000 Vendor Pneumercator Company, Inc. 120 Finn Court(street address)Farmingdale,NY 11735(516) 293-8450(city)(state)(zip)(phone)Evaluat ion ResultsThis ATGS which declares tank to be leaking when the measured leak rate exceeds the thresholdof gallon per hour, has a probability of false alarms [P] of See Results Attachment %.
3 FAThe corresponding probability of detection [P] of a gallon per hour leak is See ResultsDAttachment %.The minimum water level (threshold) in the tank that the ATGS can detect is inches. The minimum change in water level that can be detected by the ATGS is inches (providedthat the water level is above the threshold).Therefore, this ATGS (X) does ( ) does not meet the federal performance standards establishedby the Environmental Protection Agency ( gallon per hour at P of 95% and P of 5%),D FAand this ATGS (X) does ( ) does not meet the federal performance standard of measuring waterin the bottom of the tank to the nearest 1/8 Conditions During EvaluationThe evaluation testing was conducted in a 13,500 gallon ( ) steel (X)

5 * M The waiting time after adding any substantial amount of product to the tank is 8 The temperature of the added product does not differ more than degreesFahrenheit from that already in the The total data collection time for the test is at least See Results Attachment Other limitations specified by the vendor of determined during testing: none > Safety disclaimer: This test procedure only addresses the issue of the ATG system 's ability to detect leaks. It does not test the equipment for safety of ResultsI certify that the ATGS was installed and operated according to the vendor's instructions and thatthe results presented on this form are those obtained during the evaluation.
6 I also certify that theevaluation was performed according to one of the following:(X) standard EPA test procedure for ATGS( ) alternative EPA test procedure for ATGSH. Kendall Wilcox, PresidentKen Wilcox Associates, Inc.(printed name)(organization performing evaluation) Grain Valley, MO 64029(signature)(city, state. zip)July 15, 1997 (816) 795-7997 (date)(phone number)CThe Pneumercator ATGS is capable of measuring temperature compensated volume to a minimumproduct level equal to the probe length (L) divided by 6 plus 4 inches [(L/6)+4].
7 In the evaluation, a120 inch probe was used in a 120 inch diameter tank. The corresponding minimum product level is24 inches. The procedures for determining the minimum product level limitation are specified in aletter from the automatic Tank Gauge and Volumetric Tank Tightness Testing Committees of theNWGLDE to Gauge Vendors and other interested parties, April 28, Results Form AttachmentPage 1 of 1 Results AttachmentAutomatic Tank gauging system (ATGS)Name and Version of ATGS: Pneumercator TMS 2000 and TMS 3000 ATGSDate of Evaluation: August 5, 1997 EvaluationThe Pneumercator TMS 2000 and TMS 3000 can be programmed to report results atvarious time intervals.
8 For this evaluation, the ATGS collected data for 8 hours and reportedresults for each of the 8 hours. The probability of detection P and the probability of falseDalarm P for Monthly Monitoring for 2, 4, and 8 hour tests have been calculated and theFAresults have been reported below in Table 1.
