Classification And Repair Of Leaks

Immediately upon discovery, and in accordance with generally accepted industry criteria, an owner or operator shall classify a leak as: A. a hazardous leak, grade I or C, if it is a leak which, due to its location and/or magnitude, constitutes an immediate hazard to persons or property; B. a potentially hazardous leak, grade II or B, if it is a leak that does not constitute an immediate hazard, but may become hazardous if not repaired within a reasonable time period; or C. a non-hazardous leak, grade III or A, if it is a leak which does not constitute a hazard and shows no indication of becoming hazardous before routine scheduled repair could be accomplished.
