September 28, 2004(Attachment 38). On November 3, 2004, Mr. Shih performed a reinspection of the UST system for items not corrected from the previous inspection (Attachment 39). Mr. Shih confirmed that the 89-octane annular sensor was out of alarm and was told by Mr. Singh that the cause was water intrusion due to rainwater and a broken water pipe. Mr. Shih requested a statement be submitted indicating the 89-octane tank is tight, but never received any such response from Charter Way Chevron. On September 20, 2005, a monitoring system certification, leak detector testing, and spill container testing were performed without a witness from EHD due to lack of staff availability (Attachment 40). Spill container testing was due by May 2005 and was four months past due. The service technician found the 91-octane annular sensor had been raised 24 inches and the annular space had 23 inches of liquid and the diesel leak detector also failed to detect a 3.0 gallon per hour leak at 10 psi. Elite IV was hired to remove the liquid (Attachment 41) and removed a gallon and a half of liquid. Once the liquid was removed, the sensor was repositioned to the lowest point of the annular space. On September 26, 2005, a permit application, SR0044058, was submitted to repair piping run #2 (91-octane)and approved (Attachment 42). Repairs were completed by Elite IV and witnessed by Mr. Willy Ng, Senior RENS, EHD, on October 13, 2005. On October 18, 2005, the secondary containment test results were submitted for the test conducted on September 19, 2005, showing failures in piping run#2 (91-octane) and piping sump #2 (91-octane) (Attachment 43). On November 1, 2005, Mr. Catanyag spoke with Mr. Saini and informed him there are still secondary containment failures that have not been repaired and retested, specifically, piping sump #2. Mr. Saini stated that he was under the impression that Elite IV had made the proper corrections. Mr. Catanyag said this was not the case. Mr. Singh stated he would contact Elite IV to make the proper repairs. Mr. Singh also stated that he would ask Elite IV to call Mr. Catanyag to determine what actions need to be taken. Mr. Catanyag was never contacted by Elite IV regarding this issue. On November 10, 2005, Mr. Ng spoke with Mr. Saini regarding the annular sensors in the tanks. Due to past history of liquid in the annular spaces and raised annular sensors, Mr. Saini was asked to have a technician schedule a time to show Mr. Ng that the annular sensors are at the lowest point and that the annular spaces are dry. On November 21, 2005, Mr. Ng met a service technician with Elite IV on site to open the annular spaces and they were all shown to be dry and set at the lowest level. Mr. Ng also performed routine UST and hazardous waste inspections that day. During the routine UST inspection (Attachment 44), Mr. Ng found that current financial responsibility documents were not on file with the EHD and the diesel leak detector that failed on September 20, 2005, had not been repaired or replaced. During the hazardous waste inspection (Attachment 45), used absorbent was found left on the ground where it is dispersed by weather and traffic and used fuel filters were hauled off by the service technician (without a bill of lading and without proof of scrap metal recycling) when changed out. On November 23, 2005, a permit application, 5R0044963, was submitted to replace the diesel leak detector and approved on December 5, 2005 (Attachment 46). Successful testing of this 6
