�- fo FedEx Freight will perform frequent visual observations of the tanks daily and weekly. The Facility will document a more formal visual inspection of each tank at a minimum of once a month using the form in Appendix D. Per40 CFR 112.7(e),the Facility may use usual and customary business records to serve as a record of tests or inspections, instead of keeping duplicate records for the SPCC Plan. These inspections are documented in the Facility inspection log sheets that are maintained onsite. The Facility will maintain copies of the visual tank inspection records as described in Section 4.4.3. The Facility does not own, operate, or maintain field-constructed aboveground containers. Therefore, the brittle fracture inspection or evaluation requirements in 40 CFR 112.7(i)do not apply to the Facility. 3.2.2.2. Inspections of Oil-Filled Electrical and Oil-Filled Operating Equipment Oil-filled electrical and operating equipment are not considered bulk storage containers subject to the integrity testing requirements of 40 CFR 112.8(c)(6). Per the requirements of 40 CFR 112.7(k), qualified oil-filled operational equipment that is not provided with general secondary containment may meet alternate requirements, including inspection procedures. The Professional Engineer and the Facility have determined that the utility-owned electrical transformer is provided with general secondary containment. Based on a telephone conversation with USEPA Region 9,the requirement under40 CFR 112.7(k)to develop an oil spill contingency plan is met by specifying that the Facility will contact the utility to respond to a release from a utility-owned transformer. 3.2.2.3.Procedures for Pipes The Facility implements the following procedures for oil pipes: • Pipelines that are not in use for extended periods of time (six months or more)are capped or blind flanged and marked as to their origin. • Aboveground valves and pipelines are regularly examined by operating personnel following the schedule in Table 4 and the guidelines in Appendix D. The general conditions of items, such as flange joints, expansion joints,valve glands and bodies, catch pans, pipeline supports, locking of valves, and metal surfaces are assessed or examined to detect leaks and potential equipment failures. • Periodic pressure testing may be warranted for piping in areas where Facility drainage is such that a failure might lead to an outdoor release spill event. The drainage in these areas is designed so that a piping failure would not lead to a spill event. AND • Vehicular traffic granted entry into the Facility in areas of oil storage/handling is not required to be verbally warned, because the system design is not vulnerable to vehicle traffic. The pipes are not located over roadways, and traffic barriers are located in front of tanks in asphalt areas to protect them from possible vehicle contact. 12 SANational PrograrnsTrojects\Federal Express12009t33109-009237 West Region SPCCs\Stockton\Stockton CA FedEx Freight SPCC Plan.doc
