Periodic AST Inspections (Monthly and Yearly) Visual inspections of ASTs by Facility personnel are performed according to the procedure described in this SPCC Plan. The visual inspections should consist of a complete walk-through of the Facility property to check the tanks, tank connections, and above ground product piping, and for damage or leakage, check for stained or discolored soils, and to ensure complete security. Any problems or leaks identified by the visual inspection should be promptly addressed and remedied. The Facility should have a visual inspection performed at a minimum of once per month using the STI SP-001 Monthly Inspection Checklist and the STI SP-001 Portable Container Monthly Inspection Checklist included as Attachment B. Annual inspections for the ASTs should be conducted using the STI SP-001 Annual Inspection checklist included in Attachment B. Records of inspections should be kept with this plan for at least five years. External AST Inspections Based on the size and STI SP-001 2018 category of the ASTs at the Facility, formal external inspections are required to be performed by a certified inspector at a minimum of every 20 years from the date of installation. The formal external inspection should be conducted in accordance with the STI standard and should include a detailed inspection and/or testing of the ASTs,piping, containment, vents, fill ports, supports, foundations, overfill prevention devices, and other tank appurtenances. The exact scope of inspection varies depending on the Facility and the exact scope of external inspection necessary to comply with the STI SP-001 2018 standard at the site must be determined by the certified inspector. Tanks AST-1 through AST-4 were reportedly installed in 1999. The STI-SP-001 tank inspections were reportedly completed in April 2020. The inspection reportedly identified a small number of deficiencies that required repair/upgrade. Staff with Joe's Travel Plaza report that these recommendations are scheduled to be implemented and parts have been ordered. Apex recommends that a final report from the tank inspection contractor and repair contractor be provided to San Joaquin County as soon as they are completed. Records of certified tank inspections should be kept for the life of the tank. Internal inspections, leak testing, and shell test comparisons are not required for any tanks or containers at the Facility. Records of these tests should be retained for the life of the tank if performed. Totes and Drums Portable oil containers (drums and totes) should have monthly visual inspections and yearly periodic integrity inspections performed as described in the Steel Tank Institute (STI) Standard for the Inspection of Aboveground Storage Tanks, SP-001, 2018. Visual inspections of drums and totes by Facility personnel are performed according to the procedure described in this SPCC Plan. The visual inspections should consist of a complete walk-through of the Facility property to check the drums and totes for signs of damage or leakage, ensure the covers are properly secured, check for stained or discolored soils, and to ensure security. Any problems or leaks identified by the visual inspection should be promptly addressed and remedied. Joe's Travel Plaza 15600 Harlan Road,Lathrop,CA Page 20
