p protection has not been provided to the UST system (complete Section IX).

VII. CORROSION EXPERT’S EVALUATION (mark only one)
The survey must be conducted and/or evaluated by a corrosion expert when: a) an inconclusive is indicated for any protected structure since both the local and the
remote structure-to-soil potentials do not result in the same outcome (both pass or both fail); b) repairs to galvanized or uncoated steel piping are conducted or c)
supplemental anodes are added to the tanks and/or piping without following an accepted industry code.
All protected structures at this facility pass the cathodic protection survey and it is judged that adequate cathodic protection has
been provided to the UST system (indicate all criteria applicable by completion of Section VIII).
One or more protected structures at this facility fail the cathodic protection survey and it is judged that adequate cathodic
protection has not been provided to the UST system (indicate what action is necessary by completion of Section IX).

VIII. CRITERIA APPLICABLE TO EVALUATION (mark all that apply)
Structure-to-soil potential more negative than –850 mV with respect to a Cu/CuSO4 reference electrode with the protective
c current applied (This criterion is applicable to any galvanically protected structure).
Structure-to-soil potential more negative than –850 mV with respect to a Cu/CuSO4 reference electrode with protective current
t temporarily interrupted (This criterion is applicable only to those galvanic systems where the anodes can be disconnected).
Structure tested exhibits at least 100 mV of cathodic polarization (This criterion is applicable to galvanic systems where the
a anodes can be temporarily disconnected).
IX. ACTION REQUIRED AS A RESULT OF THIS EVALUATION (mark only one)
NONE Cathodic protection is adequate. No further action is necessary at this time. Test again by no later than (see Section V).
RETEST Cathodic protection may not be adequate. Retest during the next 90 days to determine if passing results can be achieved.
REPAIR & RETEST Cathodic protection is not adequate. Repair/modification is necessary as soon as practical but within the next 90 days.

XI. DESCRIPTION OF CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM REPAIRS AND/OR MODIFICATION
Complete if any repairs or modifications to the cathodic protection system are made or are necessary. Certain repairs/modifications are required to be designed
and/or evaluated by a corrosion expert (completion of Section VII required).
Supplemental anodes for a sti-P3
® tank (attach corrosion expert’s design or documention industry standard was followed).
Supplemental anodes for metallic pipe (attach corrosion expert’s design or documention industry standard was followed).
Galvanically protected tanks/piping not electrically isolated (explain in “Remarks/Other” below).

XII. UST FACILITY SITE DRAWING
Attach detailed drawing or use the space provided to draw a sketch of the UST and cathodic protection systems. Sufficient detail must be given in order to clearly
indicate where the reference electrode was placed for each structure-to-soil potential that is recorded on the survey forms. Any pertinent data must also be
included. At a minimum you should indicate the following: All tanks, piping and dispensers; All buildings and streets; All anodes and wires; Location of CP test
stations; Each reference electrode placement must be indicated by a code (1,2, T-1,) corresponding with the appropriate line number in Section XIV of this form.
AN EVALUATION OF THE CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT AN ACCEPTABLE SITE DRAWING.

XIII. GALVANIC (SACRIFICIAL ANODE) CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM CONTINUITY SURVEY
¾ This section may be utilized to conduct measurements of continuity on underground storage tank systems that are protected by cathodic protection systems.
¾ When conducting a fixed cell - moving ground survey, the reference electrode must be placed in the soil at a remote location and left undisturbed.
¾ Conduct point-to-point test between any two structures for which the fixed cell-moving ground survey is inconclusive or indicates possible continuity.
¾ For galvanic systems, the structure that is to be protected must be isolated from any other metallic structure in order to pass the continuity survey.
FACILITY NAME: NOTE: The survey is not complete unless all applicable parts of Sections I-XIV are also
completed

COMMENTS:

1 Describe the cathodically protected structure that you are attempting to demonstrate is isolated from unprotected structures (e.g. prem. tank).
2 Describe the unprotected structure that you are attempting to demonstrate is isolated from the protected structure (e.g. premium tank fill riser).
3 Record the measured structure-to-soil potential of the cathodically protected structure {“A”} in millivolts (e.g. –921 mV).
4 Record the measured structure-to-soil potential of the unprotected structure {“B”} in millivolts (e.g. –915 mV).
5 Record the voltage observed between the protected and the unprotected structures when conducting point-to-point testing (e.g. 17 mV).
6 Document whether the test (fixed cell and/or point to point) indicated the protected structure was isolated, continuous or inconclusive.

XIV. GALVANIC (SACRIFICIAL ANODE) CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM SURVEY
¾ This section may be utilized to conduct a survey of a galvanic cathodic protection system by obtaining structure-to-soil potential measurements.
¾ The reference electrode must be placed in the soil directly over the tested structure (local) and 25-100 feet away from the structure (remote).
¾ Both the local and the remote voltage must be –850 mV or more negative, in order for the structure to pass.
¾ Inconclusive is indicated when both the local and the remote structure-to-soil potentials do not result in the same outcome (both pass or both fail).
FACILITY NAME: NOTE: The survey is not complete unless all applicable parts of sections I – XIV are also completed

2 Describe the structure that is being tested (e.g. plus tank; premium piping; diesel submersible pump flex connector; etc.).
3 Describe where contact with the structure that is being tested is made (e.g. plus tank @ test lead; diesel piping @ dispenser 5/6; tank test lead; pp4, etc).
4 Describe the exact location where reference electrode is placed for each “local” measurement (e.g. soil @ plus tank STP; soil @ dispenser 5/6; etc.)
5 Record the structure-to-soil potential measured with the reference electrode placed “local” in millivolts (e.g. –865 mV, -920 mV, etc.).
6 Record the structure-to-soil potential measured with the reference electrode placed “remote” (copy voltage that was obtained during continuity survey).
7 Indicate whether the tested structure passed or failed the –850 mV “on” criterion based on your interpretation of the test data.
