    The inspection report details an assessment of various aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) at the American Lake facility, specifically focusing on their condition and compliance with safety regulations. The report covers multiple tanks, including generator and golf course tanks, all indicating no visible leaks, good tank and piping condition, and no surrounding vegetation. Spill kits are available and stocked for emergency response. The leak test results for two 1000-gallon tanks at the VA Hospital show a leak detection rate exceeding the threshold, indicating potential issues in containment that require further monitoring.
