HSC 25290.1(c)(2) Secondary containment not liquid or vapor tight. Secondary <br />containment shall be constructed, operated, and maintained product tight. The <br />secondary containment shall also be constructed, operated, and maintained in a manner <br />to prevent structural weakening as a result of contact with any hazardous substances <br />released from the primary containment, and also shall be capable of storing the <br />hazardous substances for the maximum anticipated period of time necessary for the <br />recovery of any released hazardous substance. <br />5 During the July 27, 2011, UST inspection, brine used to monitor the annular <br />spaces of four sumps was low and the corresponding sensors were in alarm. <br />Some of the sumps have a history of leaking brine. <br />HSC 25290.1(c)(3) Secondary containment not constructed to prevent water <br />intrusion. Secondary containment shall be constructed, operated, and maintained to <br />prevent any water intrusion into the system by precipitation, infiltration, or surface runoff. <br />4 Approximately one cup of liquid was found in each of the fill sumps during the <br />July 27, 2011, UST inspection. Some of the sumps have a history of not being <br />liquid tight. <br />HSC 25290.1(e) Interstitial liquid measurement method, constant vacuum, or <br />constant pressure in the interstitial space of the UST system not maintained. The <br />interstitial space of the underground storage tank shall be maintained under constant <br />vacuum or pressure such that a breach in the primary or secondary containment is <br />detected before the liquid or vapor phase of the hazardous substance stored in the <br />underground storage tank is released into the environment. The use of interstitial liquid <br />level measurement methods satisfies the requirements of this subdivision. <br />4 Four annular sensors were in alarm at the time of the July 27, 2011, UST <br />inspection. Many of the annular sensors have a long alarm history over the last <br />few years. <br />Title 23, CCR 2715(b) Designated operator did not possess a current ICC UST <br />System Operator certification. Effective January 1, 2005, designated UST operators <br />shall possess a current certificate issued by the International Code Council (ICC) <br />indicating he or she has passed the California UST System Operator exam. The <br />individual shall renew the ICC certification, by passing the California UST System <br />Operator exam, every 24 months. <br />4 The ICC California UST System Operator certification for the facility's designed <br />operator, Ms. Freshour, expired in November 2009. This facility does not have a <br />current designated operator. <br />Title 23, CCR 2715(c)(1) Alarms not documented on designated operator monthly <br />inspection reports. The designated UST operator(s) shall perform monthly visual <br />inspections of all underground storage tank systems for which they are designated. The <br />results of each inspection shall be recorded in a monthly inspection report. The monthly <br />visual inspection shall include, but is not limited to, the following: <br />(1) Reviewing the alarm history report or log for the previous month, and checking that <br />each alarm condition was documented and responded to appropriately. A copy of the <br />alarm history report or log, along with documentation describing action taken in <br />response to any alarm(s), shall be attached to the monthly visual inspection record. <br />4 One alarm January 2011 monthly inspection report and two alarms on the <br />March 2011 monthly inspection report were found not documented.
