NEW YORK
Red Dot Marks Certified Precast Tanks
The Precast Concrete Association of New York certification program specifies procedures to test water and wastewater products to comply with state, local and industry specifications. Initially, the program was limited to precast septic tanks, but it has been expanded to encompass grease interceptors and oil-water separators. A cast-in 3-inch red plastic disk identifies tanks that have passed testing and evaluation by a licensed professional engineer. The association publishes a public registry of precasters participating in the program and a comprehensive list of each company's certified products. The registry is at www.pcany.org.
