He informed me that the first submittal of plans were received in Sept/Oct 2012. He wrote a deficiency letter for several items. During his review it was brought to our department's attention that the remodel of the store would cover/impact the footprint of the waste oil underground storage tank (UST) located to the west of the store. Mr. Huff stated that he just received the revised plans yesterday that show a change for the store to be built around the waste oil UST. He also informed me that he is trying to get the revised plan approved in the next ten business days. As for our department, we are concerned about the proximity of the store to the tank pad. Construction on the foundation could damage the waste oil UST. What will be the distance that the store will be built around the tank? Another concern that needs to be addressed is the fact that the remodel of the store will not include an auto repair business at this facility anymore. If the waste oil UST will continue to be used for storing waste oil, where will the waste oil be generated from? Compliance with Hazardous Waste regulations/statutes must be achieved when the UST is approved to operate. If the waste oil UST is found not to be in use, a permit application for closure must be submitted to our department. We have approved the permit application that was submitted to our department for upgrading the UST system for Enhanced Vapor Recovery (EVR). According to Mr. Huff, the EVR upgrade is part of the Building Permit application. Since he just received the plans yesterday, work cannot proceed until he approves the plans. Another concern with the EVR upgrade and the store expansion is the fact that the vent piping that come from all of the UST's are located along the west side of the building adjacent to the waste oil UST. If the vent piping needs to be relocated because of the building expansion, an amendment to the approved permit application must submitted as well as a plan of the new location for the vent piping. Several other issues need to be resolved as outlined in the UST Official Inspection Report from July 5, 2012 that was issued to and received by ABC Petroleum Inc., in the Notice to Abate from Nov. 1, 2012 that was issued and received by ABC Petroleum Inc., and again in the UST follow up letter from Nov. 6, 2012 that was issued to and received by ABC Petroleum Inc.: 1. Annual Monitoring System Certification —The last certification was performed on June 30, 2008. This certification is required before the UST system can be approved to operate.
