bottom plates. The responsibility of ensuring that the plates are completely safe for further use lies with the successful vendor. 11.2 Demolition of UG tanks Following sequence should be sued for the disposal of Underground tanks :

1. Mechanical isolation of Tank by removing all pipe connections, fittings like Level Gauges, Dip hatch, PV Valves etc.

2. All personnel involved in the removal and disposal of underground tanks should be aware of the potential hazards associated with— (a) flammable and/or combustible liquids; (b) product toxicity; (c) entry into confined spaces; and (d) entry into excavations.

3. Before start of any work on the UG tank, ensure that the copies of the tank cleaning certificates for the tanks are available. The same to be certified by the BPCL officer (or) authorized inspector from BPCL who is witnessing the demolition before the start of the work.

4. Open the manhole covers with the anchoring supports in place and if the tank is found to be filled with water, it will be necessary to dispose of the water in an environmentally safe manner.

5. After removal of the water from the tank, refill the tank with fresh potable water until the tank starts to overflow. Do not allow excess water to escape into the excavation and ensure the level does not rise into the vent pipe and submit the tank to excess static pressure.

6. Withdraw water until the level is again down to 150 mm below the top of the tank. Use only pumping equipment suitable for the purpose and collect all water for

proper Disposal.

7. Allow the tank to settle for 2-3 hours and test the small vapor space with a gas detector and if the reading is below 5% of the LEL, then the tank may be emptied. If the same is found above 5%, remove the water from the tank . The disposal vendor may inform BPCL about the higher LEL readings and BPCL shall arrange to clean the tank further. No work shall be taken up on the tank in this case .Please note that the reading of the gas detector has to be witnessed by the BPCL officer (or) authorized inspector from BPCL.

8. If the reading of the gas detector is below 5%, the water may be removed and the cutting operations may be carried out.

For safe working, necessary shoring /shuttering /platforms shall be done and proper access shall be provided. The steel plates cut from tank shall be lifted using safe hoisting devices having valid test certificates.

Clothing should be such that it allows easy movement of arms and will not catch in machinery or on a load. • The successful bidder of the said depot assets will assume full responsibility for demolishing and dismantling the said facilities and it’s removal from the corporation’s land ,whether through his own employees or through contract labour. It should also be a condition of the tender documents that consequent upon the sale of the said depot assets, the depot shall cease to be the corporation’s “establishment”, as that expression is defined in the Building and other construction workers act’1996,and if the successful bidder employs 50 or more building workers for the demolition of the said facilities, he as the “employer” in relation to the said establishment will ensure full compliance with the said act ,including section 44 & 45 thereof. Upon the cancellation of the factory license and the slump sale of the assets of the said depot, the storage and distribution of petroleum products is no longer carried on in the said facilities. The successful bidder or purchaser of the said depot assets, who demolishes the said facilities with the intention of selling the various items from the depot as scrap for his own benefit, cannot be regarded as a “contractor” as that expression is defined in the contract labour (regulation & abolition

41

act,1970, Similarly, the workmen engaged by the successful bidder or purchaser of the said depot assets for carrying out the work of demolition, cannot be regarded as contract labour under the said act. In the circumstances, no sooner the property in the assets of the depot facilities is transferred to the successful bidder or purchaser, the corporation can not be regarded as the “principle employer” under the said act, in as much as the Corpn. has ceased to continue the work of the establishment viz. The storage and distribution of the petroleum products in the concerned depot. • Under the Environment (protection) Act, 1986 read with Hazardous waste (management & handling) rules,1989, the “occupier” in relation to the depot facilities is obliged to ensure that all hazardous waste are properly handled and disposed of without any adverse effects which may result from such wastes and is also responsible for proper collection, reception, treatment, storage or disposal of these wastes either himself or through the “operator of the facility”. Since the corporation is governed by the said act and rules and highest bidder / purchaser of the depot assets is not the occupier generating hazardous, it is incumbent on the corporation to continue its practice namely handing over the site to the successful bidder, the product including the sludge / vapour and gas etc is completely removed as per the Company’s operating procedure. It may also be appreciated that the highest bidder/purchaser may fail to take any safeguards to protect his employees or the employees of a contractor engaged by him or the public at large from the toxic or poisonous effects of the residual sludge / vapour or gas.
