SPCC regulations are based on capacities of the containers and a container that is <br /> holding any amount of petroleum product, even if not full, or a container that had <br /> held petroleum product will count towards the totals. Based on the number of <br /> containers that were 55 gallons or larger and that stored petroleum product, the <br /> total storage capacity of the facility was calculated to be over 10,000 gallons. The <br /> facility will require a Professional Engineer (P.E.) certified SPCC plan. This was <br /> discussed with Jason. Jason asked if the total storage capacity was brought to <br /> under 10,000 gallons would a P.E certified plan still be needed. The answer to <br /> this is that a P.E certified plan would not be needed as long as there are no <br /> deviations from the requirements for a self-certified SPCC plan. <br /> There were two storage trailers for diesel that were said to be rented to <br /> customers. Even though they may be empty, since they have stored petroleum <br /> product, they will count towards the total facility storage capacity. These and <br /> other empty tanks can be excluded by "permanently closing" the tanks. I have <br /> attached guidance on how to "permanently close" a tank and a link to an FAQ of <br /> similar subject matter can be found here. <br /> The checklist is not the inspection report. We do not have an active program for <br /> APSA for this facility. I will have to submit the paperwork for accounting to create <br /> an account number for the APSA program. Once this is done the official inspection <br /> report can be created and will be emailed to you. Once the official inspection <br /> report is received, you have 30 days to submit statements for the corrective <br /> actions. There will be two violations issued, one for not having a P.E certified <br /> SPCC plan and another for not reporting the APSA program in CERS. <br /> I have included some links to help find a company to help write and P.E certified <br /> SPCC plan.

This option can <br /> only be used if the storage capacity is under 10,000 gallons and over 1,320 <br /> gallons. <br /> Let me know if there are any questions. <br /> FREE classes presented by NES Inc. are available to all San Joaquin County Hazardous <br /> Waste, Underground Storage Tank, and Aboveground Petroleum Storage Facility Business Owners and <br /> Operators.
