facility each day. This daily visual inspection involves: (1) looking for tank/piping damage or <br /> leakage, stained or discolored soils, or excessive accumulation of water in diked and bermed <br /> areas; (2) observing the effluent from the containers; and (3) verifying that the dike drain valve <br /> is securely closed. A Daily Inspection Log is provided in Appendix C. <br /> 3.13.2 Monthly Inspection <br /> The checklist provided in Appendix C is used for monthly inspections by Gemco Ripon Truck <br /> Plaza personnel. The monthly inspections cover the following key elements: <br /> Observing the exterior of aboveground storage tanks, pipes, and other <br /> equipment for signs of deterioration, leaks, corrosion, and thinning. <br /> Observing the exterior of portable containers for signs of deterioration or leaks. <br /> Observing tank foundations and supports for signs of instability or excessive <br /> settlement. <br /> Observing the tank fill and discharge pipes for signs of poor connection that <br /> could cause a discharge, and tank vent for obstructions and proper operation. <br /> Verifying the proper functioning of overfill prevention systems. <br /> Checking the inventory of discharge response equipment and restocking as <br /> needed. <br /> Observing the effluent and measuring the quantity of accumulated oil within the <br /> oil/water separator. <br /> All problems regarding tanks, piping, containment, or response equipment must immediately <br /> be reported to the Manager. Visible oil leaks from tank walls, piping, or other components must <br /> be repaired as soon as possible to prevent a larger spill or a discharge to navigable waters or <br /> adjoining shorelines. Pooled oil is removed immediately upon discovery. <br /> Written monthly inspection records are signed by the Manager and maintained with this SPCC <br /> Plan for a period of three years. <br /> 3.13.3 Annual Inspection <br /> Facility personnel perform a more thorough inspection of facility equipment on an annual basis. <br /> This annual inspection complements the monthly inspection described above and is performed <br /> in month of each year using the checklist provided in Appendix C of this Plan. <br /> The annual inspection is preferably performed after a large storm event in order to verify the <br /> imperviousness and/or proper functioning of drainage control systems such as the dike, drains, <br /> facility topography, control valves, and the oil/water separator. <br /> Written annual inspection records are signed by the Operations Manager and maintained with <br /> this SPCC Plan for a period of three years. <br /> 3.14 Personnel, Trainina, and Discharae Prevention Procedures (40 CFR 112.7(f)) <br /> The Facility Manager is the facility designee and is responsible for oil discharge prevention, <br />
