Mahopac Marina — Above-Ground Fuel Tank Installation
897 South Lake LLC · 897 S Lake Blvd, Town of Carmel, NY

Engineering and surveying services for the replacement of an end-of-life underground storage tank (UST) with a 1,000-gallon protected above-ground storage tank (AST) for gasoline service at an operating marina on Lake Mahopac. AndesCES served as engineer and surveyor of record; Dan Natchez & Associates served as environmental consultant. The constrained waterfront site offered no location satisfying the minimum lot-line separation required under the NYS Fire Code. AndesCES supported preparation of a NYS Department of State variance petition, documenting site constraints and compensating measures: double-wall steel construction, integral spill containment, continuous leak detection with alarm, impact protection bollards on three sides, and a 4-foot mortared stone barrier on the east face.
