This is a Class II violation. 616 CFR 112.7(f)(3) Failed to schedule and conduct discharge prevention briefings at least annually.

Discharge prevention briefings for oil handling personnel must be scheduled and conducted at least once a year to assure adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan for that facility. Such briefings must highlight and describe known discharges or failures, malfunctioning components, and any recently developed precautionary measures. Immediately schedule and conduct a discharge prevention briefing, ensure that they are scheduled and conducted at least once a year.

Immediately provide sufficient secondary containment for this and all other tanks at this facility. This is a Class II violation. 713 CFR 112.8(c)(6) Failed to perform scheduled tank tests and inspections by appropriately qualified personnel. The aboveground tanks on site were not tested for integrity. According to the SPCC Plan, a monthly inspection should be done by the site, an external inspection every five years and an internal inspection shall be conducted every ten years. Each aboveground container shall be tested and inspected for integrity on a regular schedule and whenever repairs are made. The qualifications of personnel performing tests and inspections, frequency and type of testing and inspections that take into account container size, configuration, and design shall be determined in accordance with industry standards. Examples of these integrity tests include, but are not limited to: visual inspection, hydrostatic testing, radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, acoustic emissions testing, or other systems of non-destructive testing. Comparison records and other records of inspections and tests must be maintained on site. Immediately conduct the necessary testing and submit a copy of the test results to the EHD, or provide equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a)(2). This is a Class II violation.
