San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department 1868 East Hazelton Avenue, Stockton, California 95205-6232 Telephone: (209)468-3420 Fax: (209)468-3433 Web:www.sjgov.org/ehd Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act Inspection Report Facility Name: Facility Address: Date: SPEEDCO 1 1515 HOFF DR RIPON February 10 2016 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I,CLASS II,or MINOR-Notice to Comply) Item # Remarks 713 CFR 112.8(c)(6) Failed to perform scheduled tank tests and inspections by appropriately qualified personnel. No integrity testing records were available for all of the installed above ground petroleum storage tanks. The SPCC plan states that"the USEPA OII Program SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors clarifies that use of visual inspections in lieu of a separate testing technique, can be a"determination of environmental equivalence"." Furthermore, the SPCC states that"monthly visual inspections are considered a sufficient integrity testing program for oil storage containers for which all sides are visible[...]." Since, the back walls of all tanks are installed against the building wall and as such not all the sides are visible, the environmental equivalence for integrity testing is not adequate in the reviewed SPCC plan. 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. 727 CFR 112.8(d)(4) Failed to conduct integrity and leak test on buried piping any time it is worked on. No integrity testing results for the buried oil transfer piping present at this facility were available for review at the time of inspection. Buried piping shall be tested for integrity and leaks at the time of installation, modification, construction, relocation, or replacement. Immediately perform integrity and leak testing of this piping and ensure that piping is tested when required, or provide equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a)(2). Submit proof of correction to the EHD. This is a Class II violation. Overall Inspection Comments: An inspection checklist was provided to the facility operator on the day of inspection. The EHD has written the complete report which replaces the initial checklist. Complete and submit a copy of the Return to Compliance Certification form to the EHD with a statement documenting the corrective actions that have been or will be taken for each violation, and any supporting paperwork, within 30 days of receiving the complete inspection report. Please be aware as of January 1, 2013, all businesses are required to submit all new (or any changes to existing) Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA) information online to the California Environmental Reporting System (CERS) at http://cers.calepa.ca.gov in addition to any other relevant activities and required fields. No later than January 1, 2014, all APSA data must be entered and or updated in CERS. Page 6 of 7
