The ground cannot be used as the bottom of the enclosure unless completely covered with suitable containment material that retains 100% of the residue. 2. Constructed of flexible materials such as containment screens (specifically designed for this purpose). The floor may be containment screening or of rigid materials such as overlapping plywood fastened in place. 3. Maintained free of tears, cuts or holes. 4. Have seams overlapped a minimum of 6" and fastened together at 12" centers or fastened and overlapped in a manner that insures a tight seal which does not allow openings between the screens in the containment. 5. With sides extending past the top of and enclose the roof of the tank. 6. With a top bonnet capable of containing dust, debris and coating materials being removed. 7. Retractable or moveable in a carousel fashion such that: a. Lowering shall require no more than 10 minutes b. Raising shall require no more than 15 minutes. C.
