Spill Prevention,Control,and Countermeasure Plan Love's/Speedco#944,Ripon,California Page 9of13 anteagroup 4.13 Contingency Plan [40 CFR 112.7(d)] Love's/Speedco#944 implements adequate secondary containment for the oil storage containers;therefore, an oil spill contingency plan is not required for this facility. 4.14 Facility Inspections,Tests, and Records [40 CFR 112.7(e)] All inspection and testing records are to be filed with the SPCC Plan and are maintained in the office of the General Manager. All records will be maintained for at least three years. Informal daily visual inspections of equipment, tanks, piping, lines and other storage vessels located at the facility are inspected by employees to ensure there are no material damages or leakage of oils. At least once monthly,the following minimum inspection procedures are completed and recorded: • Visually inspect oil storage areas for signs of leaks. • Inspect all oil-handling containers and associated equipment for signs of leaks. • Inspect each container's supports and foundations,where applicable. • Inspect closures and valves for signs of leaks. • Inspect all hoses and piping for signs of leaks. The results of the inspections are signed by the inspector and maintained for a period of not less than three years. Completed inspection forms are maintained with the SPCC files. A Monthly Housekeeping/Oil Storage & Handling Checklist is presented in Appendix B. Tank Testing and Inspections [40 CFR§112.8(c)(6)1 40 CFR §112.8(c)(6) states that aboveground containers must be tested or inspected for integrity on a regular schedule in accordance with industry standards. Examples of integrity testing include but are not limited to: visual inspection, hydrostatic testing, radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, acoustic emissions testing or another system of non-destructive shell testing. The USEPA Oil Program SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors 'clarifies that use of visual inspections in lieu of a separate testing technique can be a "determination of environmental equivalence", but is subject to good engineering practice, including consideration of industry standards. In accordance with USEPA guidance provided on integrity testing,' monthly and annual visual inspections conducted according to Steel Tank Institute (STI) SP001 (Standard for the Inspection of Aboveground Storage Tanks, 6th Edition,January 2018) are considered a sufficient integrity testing program for oil storage containers for which all sides are visible, have spill control, have overfill protection, have minimal risk for internal corrosion or container failure, and are 5,000 gallons or less in capacity. Bulk containers located at Love's/Speedco#944 that will use monthly visual inspections include: • 7,846-gallon used oil AST(Tank 1) • 7,846-gallon virgin oil ASTs(Tanks 2-4) • 5,800-gallon empty AST(Tank 5) • 250-gallon diesel fuel ASTs(Tanks 6-7) USEPA Oil Program,SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors,Aug 2013
