EARTH SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY
Dear Tank Owner:
Earth Science Technology is an established Geo-Technical Corp.
specializing in Precision Tank Testing and the Basic Compliance
Field. We have served over 3,000 clients to date and have tested
in excess of 10,000 tanks in 30 states, Guam and American Samoa.
Our clients include:
Chemical Express Giant Industries
Orange County State of California
Orange County Fire Dept. L.A. County
City of Phoenix L.A. County Fire Dept.
Contel Pacific Fell Telephone
Federal Aviation Administration: Texas California
Nevada Arizonia Hawaii
Earth Science Technology has been testing Underuround Storage Tanks
for over five years. We use the most accurate testing system avail-
able, the "Hornet Ezy-Chek". This testing system exceeds tke
N.F.P.A. 329 precision test- requirements. 'Our personnel carry ali
necessary credentials.
Earth Science Technology does not make repairs to leaking systems,
nor do we sell or install new tanks. In providing tke precision
tank testing service, we feel our opinions of your systems are
very unbiased. We test 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to minimize
disruption to your business. A 2 hour test, testing 3 tanks, would
interupt your business for approximate!y"3 hours.
Questions concerning the laws and regulations here in Texas can
be addressed to your local Fire Department, the Texas Water
Commission, or to us, Earth Science Technology.
We are looking forward to doing business with you, please feel
free to call our office at ~ny time.

TANK PREPARATION
All tanks must be filled 12 hours prior to test, this can be
based on an average of allowing 1 hour per thousand gallons of
added product.
All tanks must be filled within 6 inches of the TOP of the
fill tube.
Have available 5-25 Gallons of similiar product at each site.
No heavy equipment movement within twenty feet of the tank.
The Drop Tube must be removable. This must be checked prior
to the test date. If the tube is immobile, a plumber may be
required to loosen it. This must be done prior to the test.
Allow for a 3 hour test.
FEE SCHEDULE
Single tank $350.00*/tank
Two-Three tanks $300.00*/tank
Four tanks or greater $250.00*/tank
*Plus any and all fees or licenses if required.
Each case to be evaluated separately based on the number of
tanks and the number of sites involved.

Precision Tank Test Method
Our firm utilizes the Horner EZY-Chek Leak Detection
Equipment and System. This equipment performs leak detection
based on temperature and volume and the theoretical coefficient
of expansion and their relationship to each other. This system
meets the requirements of the Texas Water Commission Underground
Storage Tank Regulations (T.W.C., Title 31, Chapter 334, Section
334.50, Sub Chapter d, Article 1), and N.F.P.A. 329. Below is
a very brief description of test equipment.
Liauid Level Principle of 0Deration
The liquid level recorder is a very sensitive pressure
gauge. Approximately one ounce of pressure is full scale.
Low pressure air flows from the air supply tank to the
bellows which is connected to the pen recorder. The pressure
is teed off from the bellows to a 1/4" plastic tube which is
inserted into the top 1/2" of product causing a bubbling
action. The recorder is monitoring the head pressure of the
product. If the product is expanding the level will go up
changing the head pressure. As the level goes up it will take
more pressure to cause the bubbling action, which will move the
pen up on the chart. If the level is going down it will take
less pressure to cause the bubbling action, which will move the
pen down on the chart.
TemDerature Probe PrinciD!e of Operation
The probe consists of platinum sensing wires encased in a
coil spring of special plastic tubing. The probe is formed
with more coils in the center of its length than on its ends,
thus proportioning the length of sensing wires to the volume of
a round tank. When the weighted probe is lowered into any tank
ranging from 2 to 20 feet in diameter...and the proportion of
coils to location remains constant. This yields an accurate
average temperature change, if any, when the product is
stratified. The digital indicator displays changes to .001
degree Fahrenheit.

Statement of Responsibility:
1. It would be the responsibility of the contact person
at each site to coordinate fuel deliveries and system
top off per the agreed upon schedule, unless otherwise
requested by the client.
2. It would be the client's responsibility to assure fuel
was removed from any tank found to be leaking and the
systems taken out of service.
3. If a plubming "only" problem is found, and the "in
service status" of that system is determined to be
critical by the client, it will be the client's
responsibility to have repairs made and not considered
a part of this scope of work. The coordination by us
for this situation would be at an additional cost to
the client.
4, Any system repaired and hence needing to be retested
would be done so at an additional cost to the client
at the quoted per tank cost.
5. Any tank failing the high test would be pumped down to
tank level and a low test ran, thus evaluating the
tank only. In the cases where a low test is required,
the low test would be done at NO additional charge to
the client.
6. It will be the client's responsibility to assume that
all drop tubes are removable by conventional methods
(by hand or strap wrench).
7. There would be a trip charge for a tank not ready on
scheduled date if prior cancellation has not been
given. (Charge would be 50¢ per mile office to location).
8. Earth Science Technology will call to confirm "Ready"
status the working day prior to scheduled test.
