Good morning Terry, <br />The EHD received a call on October 6, 2014 regarding a fuel leak into the water at the marina. It was determined the <br />fuel leak was coming from the diesel line. As a precaution both product lines were taken out of service, until further <br />evaluation. The UST system at Village West Marina (6649 Embarcadero Dr., Stockton, CA) has aboveground single wall <br />dock piping and dispensers. <br />We have determined that the EHD does not have jurisdiction over "unburied fuel delivery piping at marinas if the <br />operator conducts daily visual inspections and maintains a log of inspections" (California Health and Safety Code <br />25281.5(b) (2). Therefore, a permit for this repair is not required from the EHD. We do know a permit for this type of <br />repair is required from the City of Stockton Fire Department. Please contact them for permit requirements. <br />The "Recommended Practices for the Installation of Marina Fueling systems", PEI/RP 1000-14, published by the <br />Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) in 2014, recommends that marina floating dock piping, in all cases, should have <br />double -walled piping that drains to a transition sump with continuous monitoring (section 7.3). <br />Note that the EHD still does require an operating permit, an annual monitoring system certification, triennial secondary <br />containment testing, and repair permits for the underground tank and the attached underground piping. <br />The EHD will need to be notified once the repair has been completed to verify the piping is no longer leaking into the <br />water. If you would like the EHD to witness the repair, you can pay a consultation fee (which is currently $130/hour). <br />Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. <br />Michelle D.
