Hayes asked the age of Tank 7. Mr. Smith stated that Tank 7 was built in 1983. He also
stated that the tank has had an API 653 performed and it also had a double bottom
installed recently. Mr. Bowman queried about the rounded hood on Tank 15 in
comparison to Tank 7. Mr. Smith explained the difference in that Tank 15 has an
external-floating roof for gasoline, however, Tank 7 is diesel fuel and does not need a
floating roof. He explained further that other gasoline tanks without the geodesic domes
have internal floating roofs. Ms. Easler asked about the white color on the existing tank.
Mr. Smith said that the additional ring would also be white. Ms. Hayes asked if the
company anticipated enlarging any other tanks. Mr. Smith responded no. Ms. Hayes
asked if any decorative scenes would be painted on the tanks. Mr. Smith stated that the
white color paint seems to provide an optimum cooling environment for the fuel.

application for Request No. 25-98 as submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
