A locked box was noted on the east wall of the containment, however, the site operator had no key to unlock the box to verify if this box is related to the drainage system. Drainage systems from undiked areas with a potential for a discharge shall be designed to flow into ponds, lagoons, or catchment basins designed to retain oil or return it to the facility. If the drainage system is not designed this way, then the final discharge of all ditches in the facility shall be equipped with a diversion system that would retain oil at the facility.
