0 6 Inspection response letter dated April 24,2003,to your department. Additionally,this facility does have within its Compliance binder a Monitoring and Response Plan that lists the type of line leak detection for each tank. I am enclosing an updated Monitoring& Response Plan which lists the type of overfill prevention equipment that you requested in your Inspection report. 2.Alleged Violation: The UST Program Inspection Report stated, "#11, The piping transition sump#I (south)had approximately I gallon of fuel in it and the sensor was located in the middle of the sump so the leak was not detected. Always maintain monitoring equipment at the lowest possible point to detect a leak at the earliest possible opportunity.—Technician corrected sensor this day." In the corresponding Violation checklist,a check was placed next to"CCR 2630(d),UST system monitoring equipment is properly located to detect a leak." Response: BP understands this transition sump to be an oval shape with dimensions of approximately 24 inches in diameter and a flat bottom. Technician indicates he moved the sensor to a side of the sump on your direction. Additionally,BP ,performed a precision line test at this facility on 5/10/2005,with results indicating a 'tight' system. BP believes that liquid substance found in transition sump was mostly rain water, due to recent rain. 3.Alleged Violation: The UST Program Inspection Report stated, "#14,Approximately 1 gallon of fuel was found in the piping transition sump#1 (south). Investigate and perform necessary tests to determine the cause of the release. Monitor sump for easy detection. Submit findings to this office by 5/20/05."In the corresponding Violation checklist, a check was placed next to "CCR 2631 (f) (1),primary containment is product tight." Response: Included with this letter are the test results from the precision line test performed on May 10,2005. Test results indicate a'product tight' system, which leads BP to believe that liquid found in transition sump was primarily water and not related to a release. This water was removed by the technician during the inspection and placed into a properly labeled Hazardous waste drum on site. Additionally,the UST program inspection report noted, "this facility is subject to re- inspection billed at EHD's hourly rate. Submit return to compliance by 5/20/05." Enclosed with this letter is the annual Monitoring system certification, line leak detector test data sheets, and the spill/overfill containment test data sheets for the Arco facility listed above. With the transmittal of this letter, it is our understanding that the above-mentioned alleged violations associated with this routine inspection conducted on April 20, 2005 have been resolved. If this is not correct,please contact me as soon as possible.
