Resolution 4: An approved copy of the monitoring plans was confirmed to be onsite by the RGECS on 09/30/2019. The RGECS printed and placed a new copy onsite to replacing any/all damaged or worn out pages. Item 5: On your inspection report you noted that the previous inspection was performed on 09/17/2018 and no response was received within the 30-day deadline. You requested a response that includes a statement documenting corrective actions taken or proposed corrective actions that will be taken. Resolution 5: 7-Eleven's Regional Gasoline Environmental Compliance Manager responded to Inspector Barker on 10/3/2018 which was before the 10/17/2018 timeline. Due to this, 7-Eleven believes this item was written in error and asks that it be rescinded. A copy of the e-mail correspondence has been attached for your reference. Item 6: On your inspection you noted that liquid was found in the 91-fill sump. Additionally, you requested that all sumps be maintained free of liquid. Resolution: The liquid was removed by Tanknology at the time of the inspection as confirmed by your notes. As previously stated in 7-Eleven's prior response letters, 7-Eleven believes this violation to have been written in error. UST systems installed prior to 7/1/2003 were not designed or constructed to prevent the intrusion of water into portions of the secondary systems. These systems were designed and constructed to contain liquid or debris until discovered so that the liquid and debris could be managed and disposed of properly. Section 25291(e) of the California Health and Safety Code, which was noted on the inspection report, and Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations acknowledge this exception. Specifically, these provisions state: California Health and Safety Code—25291(e): "If water could enter into the secondary containment by precipitation or infiltration, the facility shall contain a means of monitoring for water intrusion and for removing the water by the owner or operator. This removal system shall also prevent uncontrolled removal of this water and provide for a means of analyzing the removed water for hazardous substance contamination and a means of disposing of the water, if so contaminated, at an authorized disposal facility. " Title 23, California Code of Regulations, Chapter 16—2631(d)(4): "The secondary containment system shall be equipped with a collection system to accumulate, temporarily store, and permit removal of any liquid within the system. " In this instance, since the underground storage tanks were installed on 6/23/2003, they are regulated by Section 25291(e) of the California Health and Safety Code and Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations and it is not a violation for liquid to be observed within the secondary containment. 7-Eleven,lnc.
