ME Resolution 4: According to Tanknology, the liquid you observed was spilled into the sump by the technician as he prepared this location for testing and it was removed by at the time of the inspection. As stated in my 9/19/2016, 11/4/2015 and llaj01J r8soonse letters, 7-Eleven believes this violation to have been written in error. UST sys d prior to 7/1/2003 were not designed or constructed to prevent the intrusion of water into pa viogs o e secondary systems. These systems were designed and constructed to con 114 debris until discovered so that the liquid and debris could be managed and disposed of properly. Section 25291(e) of the California Health and Safety Code, which was @4gLWEAWA, and Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations acknowledge this ewj4TMpNlrically, these provisions state: California Health and Safety Code—25291(e): "If water could enter into the secondary containment by precipitation or infiltration, the facility shall contain a means of monitoring for water intrusion and for removing the water by the owner or operator. This removal system shall also prevent uncontrolled removal of this water and provide for a means of analyzing the removed water for hazardous substance contamination and a means of disposing of the water, if so contaminated, at an authorized disposal facility. " Title 23, California Code of Regulations, Chapter 16—2631(d)(4): "The secondary containment system shall be equipped with a collection system to accumulate, temporarily store, and permit removal of any liquid within the system. " In this instance, since the underground storage tanks were installed on 6/23/2003, they are regulated by Section 25291(e) of the California Health and Safety Code and Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations and it is not a violation for liquid to be observed within the secondary containment. This letter should address the items noted on the Inspection Report. 7-Eleven assumes that all issues regarding this report have been resolved and are closed. The submittal of this response by 7-Eleven shall not constitute, nor be deemed to constitute, an admission of liability or responsibility with respect to the alleged violations and, in addition, evidence of this settlement may not be used in any administrative or judicial proceeding or otherwise.
