Open violations from February 01, 2016 inspection Violation #201 - Plan certification by a Professional Engineer(PE) missing or incomplete. The Professional Engineer (PE) certification is incomplete. The PE certification must include all of the aspects in 40 CFR 112.3(d)(1), including attesting that the PE is familiar with 40 CFR Part 112, he or his agent has visited and examined the facility, the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure(SPCC) Plan has been prepared in accordance with good engineering practice, including consideration of applicable industry standards, procedures have been established for required inspections and testing, and the Plan is adequate for the facility. Immediately obtain a complete PE certification for the facility's SPCC Plan. Submit a copy of the completed certification to the EHD. Violation #301 - Failed to amend Plan as necessary. Mr. Mike Eliason indicated that two waste oil tanks (still addressed in the reviewed SPCC plan) were removed in October of 2013. The Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan must be amended when there is a change in the facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge, within 6 months of the change, and implemented as soon as possible, not later than 6 months following preparation of the amendment. Immediately make all necessary amendments to the SPCC Plan to accurately represent the procedures and policies currently in place at the facility. Violation #601 - Plan that does not follow the sequence specified in this section lacks a cross-referencing section. The Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan does not follow the order or requirements in 40 CFR Part 112, and a cross-reference was not provided. If you do not follow the sequence specified in 40 CFR 112 for the Plan, you must prepare an equivalent Plan and supplement it with a section cross-referencing the location of requirements in 40 CFR 112 and the equivalent Plan. Immediately amend the SPCC Plan to include a cross-reference or to follow the required sequence. Violation #603 - No facility diagram or didn't show location and contents of containers, transfer stations, and pipes. The facility diagram doesn't identify the locations of all product piping. The Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan shall include a facility diagram which must mark the location and contents of each fixed storage container and the storage area where mobile or portable containers are located. It must identify the location of and mark as "exempt" underground tanks. It must also include all transfer stations and connecting pipes, including intra-facility gathering lines. Immediately update the facility diagram to include all of the required information. Submit a legible copy of the updated facility diagram to the EHD for review. Violation #612 - Failed to provide secondary containment, diversionary structures, or equipment to prevent discharge. The reviewed SPCC plan didn't provide an adequate description and the indication of adequacy of the available secondary containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment to prevent a discharge. A facility shall provide appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment to prevent a discharge. The entire containment system, including walls and floor, must be capable of containing oil and must be constructed so that any discharge from a primary containment system will not escape the containment system before cleanup occurs. Immediately provide adequate secondary containment for all aboveground petroleum storage containers larger than 55 gallons. Violation #626 - Loading/unloading rack containment system not properly sized. The adequacy of the secondary containment for the onsite loading rack was not available in the reviewed SPCC plan. Several drains were noted in the loading rack area, one of the drains was full of the standing liquid. A facility must provide sufficient secondary containment capable of holding at least the maximum capacity of any single compartment of a tank car or truck loaded or unloaded at the facility. Immediately begin implementing the necessary procedures, as described in the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan, to provide sufficient secondary containment in all tank car and tank truck loading and unloading areas.
