What is Drawings & Parts List Requirements Checklist – Sacramento County, CA?
The Drawings & Parts List Requirements Checklist is a Sacramento County Environmental Management Department (EMD) checklist that lists the site drawings, side views, parts list and companion forms to include with an underground storage tank (UST) submittal.
The checklist opens with the instruction to include everything that applies. It runs four pages and is organized in lettered sections:
- A: overhead view of the site, drawn to scale.
- B to H: side or end views of the pipe trench, vent riser, guard posts, pipe transitions and penetrations, sumps, under dispenser containment (UDC), and the tank and excavation.
- I: a parts list to be included on the drawings.
- J: items for all submittals.
- K: items for new installs.
The printed revision date is 8/16/2012, and EMD's forms page shows the same "Updated 08/16/2012" date. EMD lists the checklist next to other UST documents, such as the UST Application Form, the Removal Application Form, the Application to Temporarily Close Underground, and the Sampling Protocol for UST Removals, Upgrades, and Repairs.
The checklist is not an application and not a license form. It tells you which drawings, calculations and forms must accompany a UST submittal; the application documents themselves are separate EMD forms.
Who needs to file Drawings & Parts List Requirements Checklist – Sacramento County, CA?
People preparing a UST submittal for the Sacramento County Environmental Management Department (EMD), such as a tank owner, operator or the contractor or designer who draws the plans, use this checklist to confirm the package is complete. The checklist says to include all items that apply to the work.
Which parts apply depends on the project:
- Every application: the overhead view of the site (section A) must be submitted.
- Every submittal: a completed UST Written Monitoring Plan form (section J).
- Side and end views (sections B to H): only the views that apply to the scope of work.
- New installs only: the items in section K, such as the Certificate of Financial Responsibility and UST Facility forms A, B and C.
- Sump installations: a blowup drawing of the sump assembly.
The checklist does not say who may sign or submit for an owner, and it sets no exclusions beyond these scope conditions.
When to file Drawings & Parts List Requirements Checklist – Sacramento County, CA
Use the checklist when you assemble a UST submittal for the Sacramento County Environmental Management Department (EMD): the overhead view is required with all applications, and the section J items are required with all submittals. The section K items apply to new installs.
Two items in section K carry their own timing:
- Enhanced Leak Detection Final Test Results: due before initial fuel delivery.
- Designated Operator Form: due before the facility opens for business.
The checklist prints no other due date, so it travels with the submittal rather than having a separate deadline.
Documents you need
- Overhead view of the site, drawn to scale (section A): required for all applications, with the north arrow, scale, landmarks, tanks, piping, vent termination and the other items that apply.
- Side or end views (sections B to H) for each item that applies to the scope of work: pipe trench, vent riser, guard posts, pipe transitions and penetrations, sumps, under dispenser containment, tank and excavation.
- A blowup drawing of the sump assembly (manway lid, manway skirt, sump, sump lid, spill buckets, top hat and their interfaces), for sump installations.
- Hold down calculations for the UST, if water is present in the area; they can be listed on a separate letter.
- Parts list included on the drawings (section I), with make and model numbers, matched to the side or end view drawings by number or letter.
- A completed UST Written Monitoring Plan form (section J), required for all submittals, reflecting the monitoring methods after all work is completed.
- For new installs: a completed Certificate of Financial Responsibility, Hazardous Materials Plan form and Business Owner / Operator ID form.
- For new installs: completed UST Facility forms A, B and C (Form A, Form B and Form C).
- For new installs: Enhanced Leak Detection Final Test Results, to be provided before initial fuel delivery.
- For new installs: a completed Designated Operator Form, to be provided before the facility opens for business.
- For new installs: an AB 2481 Continuous Monitoring Table or Schematic showing which UST component is monitored by which method: vacuum, pressure or hydrostatic.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving out the overhead view of the site; it must be submitted for all applications and drawn to scale.
- Omitting the north arrow, drawing scale or closest landmarks from the overhead view.
- Showing the tank vent termination closer than 5 feet to a building opening or buildable property line, or lower than the 12 feet above grade the vent riser view requires.
- Submitting a parts list without make and model numbers, or without matching items to the drawings by number or letter.
- Listing monitoring methods in the UST Written Monitoring Plan form as they are now instead of as they will be after all work is completed.
- Omitting hold down calculations when water is present in the area of the UST.
- Sending a new install without the section K items, such as UST Facility forms A, B and C or the AB 2481 Continuous Monitoring Table or Schematic.
- Providing Enhanced Leak Detection Final Test Results after initial fuel delivery, or the Designated Operator Form after the facility opens for business.
- Leaving out the blowup drawing of the sump assembly on a sump installation.
