§ 29A-13. Testing requirements.

A. 

Periodic testing of underground storage facilities shall be performed in accordance with the Nassau County Fire Prevention and Board of Health Ordinances, applicable regulations and requirements of the Nassau County Fire Marshal and Health Department, applicable rules and regulations of the Commissioner and any other statutory requirements.

B. 

The holder of a permit obtained pursuant to this chapter shall furnish to the Building Department satisfactory written proof, to be supplied by a qualified person performing the testing, of the test performed and the findings and results thereof. If the holder of the permit fails to furnish such proof within one (1) month of the date on which testing was to have been performed as required under Subsection A of this section, the subject storage facility may be declared a public nuisance, and the Town of North Hempstead may retain the services of a qualified individual or firm to perform any required testing. The town shall annex three (3) times the costs incurred by it in retaining the services of a qualified individual or firm to perform any testing as aforementioned to the tax bill of the person, association, firm or corporation on whose property the storage facility is located as a penalty for violation of Subsection A of this section.

C. 

In the event that the leak detection and/or overfill alarms are activated, the Building Department shall be notified immediately, and a test to determine the integrity of the storage facility shall be performed immediately. If the findings of said test suggest that the storage facility is not product-tight or that leakage has occurred, the entire contents of the facility shall at once be removed therefrom, and the storage facility shall be rendered vapor-free and safe in all respects.
