container and concrete was poured. The following day, Mr. von Flue witnessed the one hour hydrostatic test on the new spill container and the retesting of the 91-octane and diesel spill containers, which were fixed without replacement. Mr. von Flue witnessed the test of the repaired float and chain assembly on dispenser 1/2 and inspected the dispenser for leaks which were repaired by replacing the meter gaskets in dispenser 1/2 and 7/8. An inspection report was left with the service technician (Attachment 61). Mr. von Flue recommended that the dispensers should be inspected weekly to ensure that no further fuel leaks were occurring. Mr. von Flue also inspected the repair made in the diesel turbine sump which was fixed by tightening the product line leak detector transducer on the turbine head. A recordable release statement, return to compliance certification and corrective actions statement that addressed both UST and hazardous waste violations were submitted by Mr. Singh (Attachment 62). Mr. von Flue discussed the problem of water intrusion into the annular spaces of the diesel, 7- and 91-octane tanks with the owners. Mr. Singh stated he would continue to remove the water and the contractor has extended the riser of the annular space sensor up above the level of the backfill by six inches so that the cap is not in contact with the sand backfill. The contractor vacuum tested all three annular spaces and all three passed. When the tanks were installed in 1997, sand was used as the backfill material which may be causing more water to be trapped in the backfill than if pea gravel had been used. Mr. Saini stated that the water source may be coming from an adjacent lawn strip with sprinklers, which could be removed if the water continued to be a problem. Mr. von Flue explained the importance of stopping the water intrusion into the annular spaces of the double walled steel tanks because they may not protected against corrosion on the inside. On November 21, 2007, Mr. von Flue received the UST certificate of compliance (Former Form C), the November 16, 2007, spill container test report, and passing tank test results for the 87- octane tank, which was completed on the monitoring panel (Attachment 63). On October 21, 2008, a permit application, 50055728, was submitted but Elite IV to replace a sensor in the diesel piping sump. This permit was approved by Mr. von Flue the following day (Attachment 64). On October 22, 2008, Mr. von Flue performed a routine UST inspection (Attachment 65), witnessed the annual monitoring system certification, leak detector testing, spill container testing (Attachment 66), and verified the functionality of the replaced sensor in the diesel piping sump. During the inspection, Mr. von Flue found that a secondary containment failure on "sump 2" on September 19, 2005, was never repaired, and small amounts of fuel were again found in UDC sumps 1/2 and 7/8. A float in UDC sump 7/8 designed to cut off the flow of 87-octane fuel to the dispenser in the event of a leak failed when tested. The service technician replaced the float, retested it, and a permit amendment was submitted by Elite IV(Attachment 67). Mr. von Flue left a service request inspection report with the service technician (Attachment 68). On October 2 , 2008, Mr. von Flue performed a routine hazardous waste inspection and witnessed most of the triennial secondary containment testing by EPIC Compliance Systems, Inc. (EPIC). The 91-octane and diesel piping sumps failed as did the diesel secondary piping. Mr. von Flue did not witness the end of the UDC sump testing. During the hazardous waste inspection, Mr. von Flue found a repeat violation for improper labeling of hazardous waste containers. During the inspection, a vehicle with an oil leak caused spillage on site. Mr. Saini was initially reluctant to clean the spill, but eventually placed absorbent on it and placed the waste into the onsite hazardous waste container. A report was left with Mr. Saini (Attachment 69). A 9
