23 mins confidence:
partially embedded storage tank Explanation: See, for example section C.19.2.4. in this document http://www.schweinfurt.army.mil/directorates/dpw/documents/1... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2012-10-11 08:55:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This document calls them partly embedded (page 7). Much of a muchness, I would say but choose whichever sounds more American to you: http://www.epa.ie/downloads/advice/general/materials storage... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2012-10-11 09:07:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See also the following document http://www.wiesbaden.army.mil/sites/directorates/environment... where you should click on the heading "Underground Storage Tanks" in the right hand column at the top to reveal the following definition: •An underground storage tank is any tank wholly or partially embedded in the ground, including underground piping, used to contain POL products or hazardous substances. Criteria to control and abate pollution resulting from POLs and hazardous substances are described in various regulations. •In order to ensure that USTs are not leaking and components of them are working as specified, monitoring system have been installed on most USTs. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 55 mins (2012-10-11 09:23:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The above answer assumes that, as per your question above, you need to differentiate the type of underground storage tank in this translation form underground storage tanks in general as being of the partially embedded variety. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 55 mins (2012-10-11 09:24:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Typo form should be from. |
