Quick Answer

This section establishes that the volumetric capacity of a diked area must be at least equal to the maximum liquid volume that can be released from the largest tank within that area. The calculation for multiple tanks involves excluding the volume of all but the largest tank below the dike's height. Applies to operators managing storage tanks.
