G. Best Practices on Return to Compliance and Communication with CUPAs Chevron shall develop and rely upon formalized documentation of its communications with all CUPAs regarding the correction of any issues identified in a Notice. Chevron shall coordinate with the CUPAs to help ensure that CUPAs provide all Notices to a centralized location. Chevron shall maintain a database to store and track all Notices in order to ensure timely correction and response. H. Database Consolidation and Improvement Chevron has used several database systems to store and track information regarding the permitting, certification, and maintenance of its UST systems. Chevron shall consolidate the information in such database systems into a single, web-based home page, which will be accessible to all Chevron employees involved with UST compliance at its California service stations, in order to better track and manage such information. Chevron shall add more complete information regarding compliance certification and associated maintenance to the database to drive improved UST compliance. 1. UST Compliance Training Chevron shall develop a training program to communicate the goals and expectations described in both this Initiative and the applicable UST regulations. Chevron shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that all COCO and CORO employees and third-party contractors involved with UST compliance are provided with this training within six (6) months of the effective date of this Final Judgment. Chevron shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that all new COCO and CORO employees and third-party contractors involved within UST compliance are provided with this training within six months of the date of hire or contracting. J. Fiberlite Lid Replacement Program Within five years of the Effective Date of the Final Judgment entered in this action, Chevron shall replace its manway covers and perform associated maintenance work at selected COCO and CORO stations throughout California to better facilitate access to and monitoring of potential leaks from its UST systems. Chevron shall spend $1,250,000 on this Program throughout the State, and at least $250,000 of that amount shall be expended on stations in the County of Sacramento. Chevron shall have the discretion to choose which COCO and CORO stations are included in this Program. The Replacement Program at each station will vary depending on the needs of the station. It may include some or all of the following: (a) replacement of existing fill sump and turbine sump manway covers with Fiberlite Watertite manway covers; (b) partial replacement of tank pads in order to accommodate the Fiberlite Watertite manway covers; (c) installation of sump sensors in fill sumps where not existing; (d) modifications to sump reducer covers; and/or (d) associated miscellaneous sump repairs. The approximate cost of this Program is $15,000 per station site. Chevron shall provide annual reports demonstrating the expenditure of such funds and describing the specific activities completed.
