The waste oil drums did not have high level monitoring devices. At least one of the following devices must be installed in each container: - High liquid level alarm with audible or visual signal - High liquid level pump cutoff device set to stop flow at a predetermined content level - Direct audible or code signal communication between the container gauger and the pumping station - Fast response system, such as digital computer, telepulse, or direct vision gauge. If a direct vision gauge is being used for determining the liquid level of each tank, a person must be present to monitor gauges and the overall filling of the tanks. Immediately install an approved liquid level sensing device in accordance with CFR 112.8 and implement necessary procedures to ensure that the devices are fully functional and in use at all times during tank filling operations, or provide equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a)(2). This is a Class II violation. 717 CFR 112.8(c)(8)(v) Failed to regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper operation. Liquid level sensing devices have only been tested on site for the waste oil tank and the oily waste water tank. No other liquid level gauges are being tested. According to Kim Powers from maintenance, the waste gauges are only verified during waste pick ups. The Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan states that these devices shall be tested monthly. Liquid level sensing devices must be installed in accordance with CFR 112.8 and shall be regularly tested to ensure proper operation. Immediately conduct all necessary testing of liquid level sensing devices, or provide equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a)(2). This is a Class II violation. 720 CFR 112.8(c)(11) Failed to provide sufficient secondary containment capacity for mobile or portable containers. The mobile refueler was observed with insufficient secondary containment. According to the SPCC Plan the mobile refueler is only stored empty and does not need secondary containment. According to Ms. Sass, the mobile refueler is never empty. Portable oil storage containers must be positioned or located to prevent a discharge and shall be furnished with a secondary means of containment sufficient to contain the capacity of the largest single container with sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. Immediately provide sufficient secondary containment for this and all other portable containers at this facility, or provide equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a)(2). This is a Class II violation. 726 CFR 112.8(d)(4) Failed to regularly inspect aboveground valves, piping, and appurtenances. Regular inspections are only being done on the waste tanks and containers. All other tanks and containers are not being inspected. All aboveground valves, piping, and appurtenances shall be regularly inspected. Immediately inspect aboveground valves, piping, and appurtenances and ensure inspections are done regularly, or provide equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a). This is a Class II violation.
