C. Independent Health, Environment and Safety Oversight Chevron shall use its Health, Environment and Safety ("HES") organization and personnel to provide several key functions rdlated to improved UST compliance, including offering subject matter expertise regarding UST system compliance issues at individual Stations, and, if the HES service station representative deems it necessary, providing internal oversight of UST compliance at each Station. D. Station Level Compliance Chevron shall develop and maintain (and conduct training relating to) clear job responsibilities and ongoing, periodic reporting obligations for all Chevron employees responsible for UST compliance at the Station level, including business consultants, compliance coordinators, site managers, and designated operators. Job success and advancement shall be tied to the performance of an employee's UST compliance responsibilities. E. Monitoring Equipment Verification Chevron shall inspect all of the sensors used to monitor the UST secondary containment systems at every Station within 90 days of the date of the Effective Date of the Final Judgment. This inspection shall verify that the monitoring equipment and systems are in proper working order and that the sensors are properly placed at a low point within the sump. Chevron will keep written records of this verification and maintain such records in a database. Chevron shall seek to ensure that sensors and site monitoring systems are not tampered with. Access to such sensors and systems shall be limited to authorized personnel, including Chevron station managers, construction and maintenance employees, and HES station representatives. Chevron shall discipline any Station employee or third-party contractor who tampers or attempts to tamper with the sensors or monitoring systems. Chevron shall develop a program to visually inspect the secondary containment systems at each of its Stations for the presence of liquid at least once every 120 days. Any liquid found during such inspections will be promptly removed and the cause of the liquid intrusion will be investigated and addressed. F. Monitoring of Third-Party Contractors Chevron relies on third-party contractors to aid in the monitoring, compliance testing and certification, and maintenance of its UST systems. Each year, Chevron shall conduct a performance review of such third-party contractors to ensure compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. Chevron shall notify third-party contractors of the consequences of non- compliance, which may include, but are not limited to, termination of the third-party's contract with Chevron. Chevron shall not allow the sub-contracting of UST maintenance and construction operations to contractors that have not been approved by Chevron. Exhibit E to Final Judgment in People v.
