     2. A marina storage tank that supplies marina service stations and pumps not integral to the dispensing device must be onshore, except that a double-walled tank not exceeding a capacity of 1,100 gallons may be located on a pier of the solid-fill type if spacing, containment and piping comply with the provisions of chapters 2, 22 and 34 of the International Fire Code, 2003 edition.

     3. Any metallic portion of a marina storage tank or its piping system that is in contact with the soil or water and is subject to corrosion must be protected from corrosion by a continuously operating cathodic protection system that is properly engineered, installed and maintained in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 280.20(b)(2).
