contingency plan and emergency coordinator information was submitted (Attachment 25)
<br />and Ms. Henry provided Mr. Minhas a copy of the training classes offered by this office.

<br />On December 3, 2004, a test report was submitted to the EHD for a monitoring system
<br />certification, line leak detector testing, and spill container testing that were performed on
<br />September 7, 2004. The report indicated that all sensors, leak detectors, and spill
<br />containers passed (Attachment 26). Notification for this testing was not submitted and
<br />an EHD representative was not present to witness this testing and therefore, the results
<br />were rejected. The previous monitoring system certification was performed on
<br />September 3, 2003.
<br />On April 7, 2005, Mr. Ray von Flue, Senior REHS, EHD, performed routine UST and
<br />hazardous waste inspections. The only designated operator monthly inspection report
<br />found on site was for March 2005 and was performed by Mr. Charles Hill, who was not
<br />listed on the designated operator statement for this facility. Maintenance and monitoring
<br />records were not found on site. The area around the diesel dispensers had evidence of
<br />fuel spillage that was not cleaned up, and four 55 -gallon containers of hazardous waste
<br />were not properly labeled. One of these containers was open and not in use at the time
<br />of inspection. This facility also did not have an emergency coordinator. Inspection
<br />reports were left on site (Attachments 27 and 28).
<br />On June 21, 2005, Mr. von Flue sent a follow up letter to the facility (Attachment 29)
<br />asking for all the items requested on the April 7, 2005, UST and hazardous waste
<br />inspection reports. None of the items were previously submitted. A designated operator
<br />statement was submitted on October 18, 2005 (Attachment 30).
<br />On November 8, 2005, a monitoring system certification, line leak detector testing, and
<br />spill container testing were performed at this facility. All sensors, leak detectors, and
<br />spill containers passed and a report was submitted to this office (Attachment 31). An
<br />EHD representative was not present to witness this testing due to unavailability of staff.
<br />On November 21, 2005, Mr. Catanyag performed a routine UST inspection at this facility
<br />and found that the annual monitoring system certification, line leak detector testing and
<br />spill container testing were performed late by fourteen months, though Mr. Catanyag
<br />incorrectly indicated testing was past due for only two months in the report. The
<br />monitoring and response plans and maintenance and monitoring records were not found
<br />on site. The January, February, September, October, and November 2005 designated
<br />operator inspection reports were not found on site and some designated operator
<br />inspections were performed by Mr. Ron Buddick, who was not listed on the designated
<br />operator statement for this facility. Employee training by the designated operator was
<br />also insufficient. An inspection report was left on site (Attachment 32).
<br />On January 16, 2006, Mr. Minhas submitted a return to compliance statement and two
<br />letters explaining why the violations noted on the November 21, 2005, inspection report
<br />were not corrected (Attachment 33).
<br />On March 9, 2007, Mr. Muniappa Naidu, Senior REHS, EHD, performed a routine UST
<br />inspection (Attachment 34) and witnessed the annual monitoring system certification,
