Discharge prevention briefings for oil <br /> handling personnel must be scheduled and conducted at least once a year to assure adequate understanding of the <br /> SPCC Plan for that facility. Such briefings must highlight and describe known discharges or failures,malfunctioning <br /> components, and any recently developed precautionary measures. Immediately schedule and conduct a discharge <br /> prevention briefing,ensure that they are scheduled and conducted at least once a year. <br /> This is a repeat violation, Class II. <br /> 624 CFR 112.7(g) Facility failed to implement security of site and valves, lock out/tag out, and lighting. <br /> The SPCC plan indicated that fill pipes are kept locked when not in use,however during the inspection,the fill pipe <br /> was unlocked.The facility failed to implement security of the fill pipe.The SPCC Plan must include descriptions of <br /> how you secure and control access to the oil handling, processing&storage areas,secure master flow&drain <br /> valves, prevent unauthorized access to starter controls on oil pumps,secure out-of-service and loading/unloading <br /> connections of oil pipelines, and address the appropriateness of security lighting to both prevent acts of vandalism <br /> and assist in the discovery of oil discharges. Immediately implement the SPCC plan at the facility for all of the <br /> requirements outlined in the site's SPCC plan. <br /> This is a Class II violation. <br /> 706 CFR 112.8(c)(2) Failed to provide and maintain adequate secondary containment. <br /> The four aboveground tanks were observed with insufficient secondary containment.There was damage observed <br /> on the west side of the containment wall.According to Gurpreet Johal,the containment wall was hit by a truck <br /> awhile ago.All bulk storage tanks must be provided with a secondary means of containment for the entire capacity <br /> of the tank and sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. Immediately provide sufficient secondary containment <br /> for this and all other tanks at this facility. <br /> This is a repeat violation, Class II. <br /> 710 CFR 112.8(c)(6) Plan failed to adequately discuss procedures to test or inspect each container for integrity. <br /> The SPCC plan did not address tank integrity testing for the aboveground tanks. Each aboveground container shall <br /> be tested and inspected for integrity on a regular schedule and whenever repairs are made. The qualifications of <br /> personnel performing tests and inspections,frequency and type of testing and inspections that take into account <br /> container size, configuration,and design shall be determined in accordance with industry standards. Examples of <br /> these integrity tests include, but are not limited to: visual inspection, hydrostatic testing, radiographic testing, <br /> ultrasonic testing,acoustic emissions testing, or other systems of non-destructive testing. Comparison records and <br /> other records of inspections and tests must be maintained on site. Immediately amend the SPCC plan to include <br /> integrity testing,and conduct the necessary testing and submit a copy of the test results to the EHD,or provide <br /> equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a)(2). <br /> This is a repeat violation, Class II. <br /> FA0000650 PR0516198 SCO01 10/10/2017 <br /> EHD 20-01 Rev.09/22116 Page 8 of 11 Aboveground Petroleum Storage Ad OIR <br />
