All of the secondary containment appears to be in very good operating order and in good shape. There is no evidence of breaks or cracks in the outer shell and all welds appear to be in good condition. The generator-fuel tank system is secured to the concrete pad,with%,in, anchors into the concrete thm steel plate anchor brackets and spring vibration reducing supports beneath the system. The concrete berm has minor cracks, but no spalling or cracks affecting the integrity of the berm. The berm also has a valve drain for draining rainwater from the berm, when necessary. Prior to draining,the rainwater should be inspected to ascertain if there is a petroleum sheen on the water. If there is a sheen,the water should be determined to be contaminated by petroleum product and properly removed as a hazardous waste. Containment capacity of the berm is approximately 125 gals. The inspection of the secondary containment of the fuel tank found no product in the secondary containment or in the berm, and therefore indicated no leaks from the primary vessel into the secondary containment. Tank Foundation and Support ConVault Tank. The foundation legs of the ConVault tank were closely inspected, and found to be free of any damage or defect. There were no cracks at the foundations which would appear to lead to affecting the integrity of the tank support system. While _..-. there are some minor rDa000. GALLOIV�. cracks in the pad, there were no cracks discovered emanating from any of the steel earthquake shoe anchor bolts, on the 6000 gal ConVault. The cracks _ appears slight and do not indicate any affect on the stability of the support system, nor of further spreading beyond its current length. As is ` y n4.t always the case, where there is a crack in the underlying pad, any cracks which emanate or connect to the earthquake shoes, should be monitored and repaired if they continue to expand,or appear to affect the stability of the system. If the support system should be impinged by further cracking or by a seismic event, then an engineered professional repair should be undertaken to repair or replace any condition which would affect the ability of the tanks to maintain their integrity or their stability. It is the normal condition of concrete slabs that they develop small hairline cracks over time as the ground beneath them is constantly in danger of shifting in a seismic zone, which is applicable to Stockton, CA. As such, a high degree of attention should be paid to any changes in the support system of the tanks. A weakened pad experiencing a seismic event could cause the tank or tanks to shift from their foundational supports and as a result,experience a spill or a leak. It is noted herein that there does not appear to be such a danger in the immediate condition of the pad and supports, but only that slight
