□ Vents and other openings shall be constructed and designed to prevent the entry
of rainwater or runoff, and birds, insects, rodents, or other animals.
□ Covered with a rigid structural roof made of impervious material that prevents
the movement of water or other liquids into or out of the reservoir.
□ Equipped with at least one separate inlet and outlet (internal or external), and
designed to minimize short-circuiting and stagnation of the water flow through
the reservoir.
□ Equipped with drainage facilities that allow the tank to be drained and all
residual sediment removed, and an overflow device.
□ The reservoir drainage facilities, piping, and overflow system shall not be
connected directly to a sewer or storm drain and shall be free of cross-
connections.
□ Sited and constructed to prevent the entry of surface runoff, subsurface flow, or
drainage into the reservoir.

horizontally from any other waste facilities and any force main.
