Concrete Batch Plant No. 5 <br />2714 Stagecoach Road <br />Stockton, California <br />Condor Project No. 6347 <br />Dear Mr. Tilford: <br />Enclosed are three copies of the updated Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan <br />prepared by Condor Earth Technologies, Inc. (Condor) for 7 11 Materials, Inc.'s Concrete Batch Plant <br />No. 5 (Facility) located at 2714 Stagecoach Road in Stockton, California. The SPCC Plan has been <br />prepared in general accordance with Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 112: Oil Pollution <br />Prevention (40 CFR Part 112). <br />Condor's work included performing a visual inspection of the Facility, evaluating compliance with <br />Federal regulations, and preparing the updated SPCC Plan. Based upon these efforts, Condor developed <br />the following recommendations for SPCC compliance at your facility. The following includes minimum <br />elements specified in the SPCC regulations or good engineering practice and are, therefore, necessary for <br />SPCC compliance. These requirements and recommendations are improvements or practices that need to <br />be implemented in addition to those in place at the time of our site visit. The SPCC Plan will not be <br />complete until all requirements and recommendations, or appropriate alternatives, are implemented. <br />Specific Regulatory Requirements: <br />40 CFR 112.8 requires that a facility regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper <br />operation. We recommend that the liquid level gauges on all tanks be inspected on a monthly <br />basis to check for any signs of weathering or cracks in accordance with the Facility Inspection <br />Checklist (Appendix 3). We recommend that twice a year the gauges be checked using an inch - <br />to -gallon conversion chart and a graduated dipstick to verify that the gauge reads the correct <br />liquid level. The inch -to -gallon conversion chart for each tank should be obtained by the tank <br />manufacturer or developed based on the dimensions of the tank. Based on the inch -to -gallon <br />conversion chart, any gauge determined to not properly show the correct liquid level in the tank <br />should be repaired or replaced. <br />
