to repair/replace this piping. V, September 8, 2005, Ms. Le informed Mr. Spence that he needed to report all releases. Mr. Spence commented, "Well, isn't that what I did when I called you." Ms. Le informed Mr. Spence that he needed to call State OES and EHD. Ms. Le provided Mr. Spence with the phone number for State OES. Ms. Le informed Mr. Spence that the release is considered reportable under the Health & Safety Code and that he must submit a report to EHD immediately. Ms. Le faxed a copy of the Title 23 regulations on how to record/report a release to Mr. Spence. Additionally on this day, Ms. Le received the unauthorized release report (Attachment 2) and a fax notification from State Office of Emergency Services for the report made by Village West Marina (Attachment 3). Ms. Le performed a site visit to see where the leak had occurred. The leak was under the dock between the two gasoline dispensers. According to the dock manager (name unknown), the leak happened on Saturday (9/03/05). The dock manager said he shut off the ball valve once he noticed the fuel spilling out. Donlee Pump was then called to make the repair. The piping had been plugged at both ends. On September 13, 2005, a meeting occurred at the facility with Ms. Le, Mr. Mathey, and Mr. Kent Miller (COS Fire Department). Mr. Miller stated that piping must be replaced with welded steel or double wall flex/fiberglass. Mr. Mathey said Donlee Pump would not be able to perform the job. On September 14, 2005, Ms. Le was onsite to finish the 24-hour lake test on the under -dispenser containment. Ms. Le asked the dock manager if he called anyone when the spill occurred. He commented that he had only contacted Donlee Pump. Ms. Le asked if the Designated Operator had trained him. He said he had. Ms. Le informed him that he needed to contact State OES when a spill occurred. The dock manager commented that he did not know that but that he should have because that would be his responsibility. Ms. Le asked Mr. Spence for his Designated Operator training records. Mr. Mathey with Donlee Pump is the primary Designated Operator for this facility. Mr. Spence could not locate the training records. Ms. Le informed Mr. Spence that he needed to obtain the training records and keep a copy of it onsite. Ms. Le informed Mr. Spence that his piping needed to be replaced/repaired immediately and that he must obtain a permit prior to beginning work. Mr. Spence agreed. Mr. Spence also said that he will get the work done as soon as possible and then he commented, "To be honest with you, I don't even like you people knowing my name. The least amount that I have to deal with you the better." On June 9, 2004, Ms. Le was onsite at the above referenced facility to perform a routine underground storage tank inspection (Attachment 4) and witness the monitoring certification (Attachment 5) which was to be performed by Mr. Michael Dotten with AllTech Consulting. Upon inspection of the monitoring panel, it was noted that the monitoring panel had an alert message of "set up error." Per Ms. Le's request, all the sensors, except the 91 -octane annular sensor, were tested to see if the monitoring panel would recognize a leak. The 91 -octane annular riser was misaligned not allowing the sensor to be removed from the tank to perform the test. At the time of inspection, Ms. Le and Mr. Dotten measured the annular sensor wires and noted that both the annular sensors were over four feet too short from reaching the bottom of the UST's.
