Medium discharge for inland and coastal is

• A. Inland 1,000 to 10,000; Coastal 10,000 to 100,000
• B. Inland 1 to 1000; Coastal 10 to 10000
• C. Inland 10000 to 100000; Coastal 100000 to 1000000
• D. Inland 500 to 5000; Coastal 5000 to 50000

Answer: (A)

Medium discharge reflects a balance between the equipment capacity and the demand at a site. Inland facilities typically use smaller pumps and storage, so a discharge in the range of 1,000 to 10,000 gallons fits their throughput without overtaxing hoses, fittings, or safety margins. Coastal terminals, with access to larger volumes and more robust infrastructure from ships to pipelines, can handle higher throughputs, making 10,000 to 100,000 gallons a typical medium discharge for those operations. The other ranges either are too low for coastal facilities or too high for inland setups, so they don’t match the expected equipment and workflow at these locations.
