17.12.050   Monitoring.
   (a)   Monitoring Methods. Monitoring methods shall include at least one system for detecting leakage from the primary container. A monitoring system capable of detecting that the hazardous material stored in the primary containment has entered the secondary containment shall be provided. Visual inspection of the primary containment is the preferred method; however, other means of monitoring may be required by the fire chief. Where secondary containment may be subject to the intrusion of water, a means of monitoring for such water shall be provided.
   Whenever monitoring devices are provided, they shall, where applicable, be connected to attention-getting visual and/or audible alarms.
   (b)   Monitoring, Testing and Inspection. Every responsible person under this title shall provide testing, monitoring (if applicable) and inspections in compliance with the hazardous materials management plan and shall maintain records adequate to demonstrate compliance therewith. Whenever visual monitoring, manual methods of monitoring, or monitoring records are not maintained, the fire chief may require continuous monitoring devices, a monitoring program certified by an expert independent third party, or an approved equivalent monitoring system.
