B. Secondary Containment (40 CFR 112.7(c)) <br /> Spill containment and diversionary structures for specific oil storage containers are as follows: <br /> • Outdoor Storage Area: AST No. 1 (10,000-gallon diesel tank) and AST No. 2 (1,000-gallon waste <br /> oil tank) are located within a concrete-walled area along the western border of the site. Based on the <br /> dimensions of the secondary containment structure (47 feet by 20 feet by 3.5 feet in height), the total <br /> volume of the exterior containment area is approximately 24,600 gallons. The top of the waste oil <br /> tank is just slightly above the top of the containment wall, and this tank decreases the containment <br /> capacity available to the largest tank in the containment system (i.e., the diesel tank)by <br /> approximately 1,000 gallons (to 23,600 gallons). Based on discussions with the Department of <br /> Water Resources', the 25-year 24-hour rainfall event for the Stockton area is 2.46 inches. This <br /> rainfall event would result in approximately 1,400 gallons of rain water accumulating in the <br /> containment structure. Therefore, the available secondary containment capacity for the largest tank <br /> is 22,200 gallons, which is more than adequate to contain a release from the largest tank and <br /> accumulation from a 25-year 24-hour rainfall event. *TANK WAS TEMPORARILY REMOVED <br /> FROM SITE 2-12-20. PENDING ACQUISITION OF A NEW TANK REPLACEMENT* <br /> • Indoor Storaze Area—Engine Oil Tank and Gear Oil Drums: AST No. 3 (570-gallon engine <br /> oil tank) is stored in a metal catch pan located in the storage shed attached to the repair shop <br /> building. The metal catch is 10 feet by 64 inches by 35 inches in height, which yields a total <br /> containment volume of approximately 1,160 gallons. The containment volume available to the tank <br /> is reduced by volume occupied by three gear oil drums located within the metal catch pan. The <br /> excluded volume is approximately 30 gallons each, based on 2-foot diameter drums, yielding a total <br /> available capacity of 1,050 gallons. The secondary containment capacity is thus adequate to contain <br /> the entire contents of the engine oil tank. <br /> • Indoor Storage Area—Transmission and Hydraulic Oil ASTs: AST No. 4 (600-gallon hydraulic <br /> oil tank) and AST No. 5 (275-gallon transmission oil tank) are stored in a metal catch pan located in <br /> the storage shed attached to the repair shop building. The metal catch is 10 feet by 64 inches by 35 <br /> inches in height, which yields a total containment volume of approximately 1,720 gallons. The <br /> containment volume available to the largest tank is reduced by 75 gallons by the portion of each of <br /> the two other tanks that are below the containment edge, and a 275 gallons by the portion of engine <br /> 'Personal Communication with Mr.William Mork of the State of California Department of Water Resources.
