ATCP 33.32(6)(6) Construction inspection. If a concrete mixing and loading pad is constructed on or after November 1, 2006, the operator or a person chosen by the operator shall inspect the construction for conformity to the design specifications filed with the department under s. ATCP 33.10 (1). The person conducting the inspection shall inspect and approve the construction of the soil sub-base, the laying of structural steel, and the laying of waterstop materials and devices before concrete is poured. The operator shall provide a copy of the inspection report and approval to the department.

ATCP 33.32 NoteNote: The department recommends that construction inspection be performed by a qualified person experienced in reading plans and inspecting construction.

ATCP 33.32(7)(7) Inspection and maintenance.

ATCP 33.32(7)(a)(a) An operator shall inspect a mixing and loading pad at least semi-annually, and shall maintain the mixing and loading pad as necessary, to ensure compliance with this section.

ATCP 33.32(7)(b)(b) Whenever an operator repairs a mixing and loading pad, the operator shall make the repair according to good engineering practice and manufacturer specifications, using materials approved by the department.

ATCP 33.32(7)(c)(c) An operator shall remove a mixing and loading pad if the operator cannot maintain it in compliance with this section, or if corrective action is needed to remove contamination from beneath the pad. An operator shall remove a leaking mixing and loading pad unless the pad is repaired and remains liquid-tight for at least 2 years after the date of repair.

ATCP 33.32(8)(8) Pumping liquid products from rail cars. Section ATCP 33.30 and subs. (1) through (7) do not apply to the pumping of liquid bulk fertilizer or liquid bulk pesticide from a rail car to a storage container, provided that all of the following apply:

ATCP 33.32(8)(a)(a) The hose or pipeline from the rail car outlet valve to the pump is equipped with a shut-off valve, unless the pump can draw from no other hose or pipeline.

ATCP 33.32(8)(b)(b) The hose or pipeline from the pump to the storage container is equipped with an automatic check valve to prevent back flow. The check valve shall be located as close to the pump effluent port as possible, consistent with good engineering practice.

ATCP 33.32(8)(c)(c) All of the following are located over one or more spill containment basins that comply with par. (d):

ATCP 33.32(8)(c)3.3. Every valve or plumbing connection that is located between the rail car outlet valve and the storage container, unless the valve or plumbing connection is threaded, welded, fused or permanently band-clamped.

ATCP 33.32(8)(d)(d) Every containment basin under par. (c) is liquid-tight, and is constructed of durable rigid material that is chemically compatible with any liquid that may be discharged to it. The basin shall have a capacity of at least 75 gallons, or a capacity at least equal to the capacity of the appurtenances that may discharge to it, whichever is greater. A containment basin may be permanent or portable. The operator shall routinely inspect and maintain the basin to ensure compliance with this paragraph.

ATCP 33.32(8)(e)(e) If the operator pumps the fertilizer or pesticide from the rail car to another mobile container, the other mobile container is parked on a mixing and loading pad that complies with this section.

ATCP 33.32(9)(9) Loading liquid bulk pesticide into anhydrous ammonia nurse tank. Section ATCP 33.30 and subs. (1) through (7) do not apply to the loading of liquid bulk pesticide into an anhydrous ammonia nurse tank if all of the following apply:

ATCP 33.32(9)(a)(a) The operator loads the bulk pesticide from a storage container that is located over a mixing and loading pad that complies with this section, or over a secondary containment structure that complies with s. ATCP 33.42.

ATCP 33.32(9)(b)(b) The operator uses a positive displacement pump to transfer the pesticide to the anhydrous ammonia nurse tank. The pump shall be located over a mixing and loading pad that complies with this section, or over a secondary containment structure that complies with s. ATCP 33.42. The pump shall be rated to deliver no more than 3 gallons per minute at a pressure of no more than 250 psi. The pump shall be equipped for manual shutdown, in addition to automatic shutdown under par. (c) 2.

ATCP 33.32(9)(c)1.1. Prevent pump operation until the operator manually pre-sets the pumping volume and engages a separate manual starter switch.

ATCP 33.32(9)(d)(d) The hose from the pump to the anhydrous ammonia nurse tank meets all of the following requirements:

ATCP 33.32(9)(d)2.2. It has a rated operating pressure of at least 1,200 psi with a burst strength of at least 5,000 psi.
