Each impounding system serving an LNG storage tank must have a minimum volumetric liquid impoundment capacity of:
(a) 110 percent of the LNG tank's maximum liquid capacity for an impoundment serving a single tank;
(b) 100 percent of all tanks or 110 percent of the largest tank's maximum liquid capacity, whichever is greater, for the impoundment serving more than one tank; or
(c) If the dike is designed to account for a surge in the event of catastrophic failure, then the impoundment capacity may be reduced to 100 percent in lieu of 110 percent. [Amdt. 193-17, 65 FR 10960, Mar. 1, 2000] Secs. 193.2183-193.2185 [Reserved]
