cracks in concrete bear visual monitoring over time and if required, affirmative action undertaken to maintain integrity of the tank systems. The earthquake steel shoes are properly placed for maximum restraint in a seismic event, show no signs of any corrosion, or of steel fatigue. The earthquake shoes are anchored into the concrete pad by 1 inch expansion anchors and which are adequate to secure the support system. The anchor bolts indicate no evidence of any corrosion which would affect their ability to properly anchor. The legs on each of the tanks allow for the system to be raised at least 6 inches and allows for easy and adequate inspection beneath the tanks. Onan Cummins Tank: The foundation legs of the Oran Cummins Generamr-Fuel Tank system 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 cracks in the pad, there were no cracks discovered emanating from any of the steel earthquake anchored brackets beneath the Onan Cummins Generator system. The cracks appears slight and do not indicate any affect on the stability or integrity of the support system, nor of further spreading beyond its current length. As is 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 _ „-� ;i system should be impinged by additional cracking or by a seismic event, then anJ engineered professional repair should be undertaken to repair • i 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. 21As 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 cracks in concrete bear visual monitoring over time and if required, affirmative action undertaken to maintain integrity of the tank systems. The earthquake support brackets are secured with vibration reducing springs on each of the support to limit the impact of vibration during operations, which could result in metal fatigue and thus compromise the structure of the steel supports. The system supports me anchored into the concrete berm pad by %inch anchors and which are adequate to secure the support system. The anchor bolts indicate no evidence of any corrosion which would affect their ability to properly anchor. The legs on the tank allows
