ABSTRACT:
An integrated underground storage reservoir and above-ground canopy system is provided. This system comprises a storage reservoir suitable for being buried beneath ground level and suitable for containing a fluid. The integrated system also includes a support system disposed in communication with the reservoir and suitable for projecting above ground level when the reservoir is in a buried condition. The support system preferably includes at least one support member. The integrated system further includes a canopy attached to at least one support member, suitable for providing shelter from weather while accessing the reservoir. In alternative embodiments of this invention, the support system includes support units disposed adjacently to, attached to the exterior of, and disposed within the interior of the underground storage reservoir. The integrated system allows direct access to the storage reservoir, minimizes underground piping and provides enhanced vapor recovery.
