The following is a description of how you secure and control access to the oil handling, processing and storage areas; secure master flow and drain valves; prevent unauthorized access to starter controls on oil pumps; secure out-of-service and loading/unloading connections of oil pipelines; address the appropriateness of security lighting to both prevent acts of vandalism and assist in the discovery of oil discharges: Gas & Diesel storage tanks: Physical Facility yard is open and manned 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. s. The Aboveground Storage fuel tanks are in an enclosure, the entrance which is in open view of physical facility personnel during normal operation and unauthorized access could be easily noticed and reported to local Police. Fuel tank fill pipes are capped and secured when not in use by fuel dispensing operating personnel. Fuel dispensers (pump control) are generally unlocked Security lighting is present which illuminates the fuel storage tanks within the yard. Facility personnel makes security observations consistently around this facility. Shift operators visit the Physical Facility during operating hours. A security camera is also in use that could provide information and identification of unauthorized access. 3.16 Brittle Fracture Evaluation (40 CFR 112.70)) All Aboveground Storage Tanks were shop-built. None of the ASTs were field-erected which precludes a brittle-fracture evaluation at this facility. The shell thickness of all tanks is less than one-half inch. As discussed in the American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 653 Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction (API-653), brittle fracture is not a concern for tanks that have a shell thickness of less than one-half inch. This is the extent of the brittle fracture evaluation for these tank(s). Nonetheless, in the event that any tank undergoes a repair, alteration, reconstruction, or change in service that might affect the risk of a discharge or failure, the container will be evaluated for risk of discharge or failure, following API-653 or an equivalent approach, and corrective action will be taken as necessary. Non-destructive testing under API 653 protocols for integrity testing are allowed to include Hydrostatic Testing, Radiographic Testing, Ultrasonic Testing, Acoustic Emissions Testing, or any other appropriate non-destructive Testing. Tank testing for ALL fuel-storage vessels is to be appropriate non-destructive Testing in accordance with the requirements for field testing by the directions of the manufacturer in accordance with sound engineering practices. 3.17 Conformance with State and Local Applicable Requirements (40 CFR 112.7(1)) All bulk storage tanks at this facility are registered with the state and local authorities (Contra Costa Health Services- Hazardous Materials Programs Dept.) and have current certificates of registration and special use permits required by the local fire code. Cathodic and/or lightning strike grounding protection is present and operational. 3.18 Construction (40 CFR 112.8 (c)(1)) 32
