Clay Street, Stockton, CA Dateection Name: Address: Jul 11, 2013 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS CLASS I, CLASS 11, or MINOR -Notice to Comply) Onsite to conduct a routine Underground Storage Tank (UST) inspection and witness a Monitoring System Certification. Class II Violations: 112 and 311: 112.The monitoring system for the 87 -octane UST did not shut down the turbine pump when tested: the 87 -octane UDC sump sensor and the 87 -octane STP fuel sump sensor failed to initiate the turbine pump shut down. The 87 -octane UST is not fail safe and does not meet the requirements for annual line tightness testing exemption. Annual line tightness testing is required unless the UST system is equipped with the following: 1. A continuous monitoring system that either activates an audible and visual alarm or stops the flow of product at the dispenser when it detects a leak 2. A monitoring system that shuts down the pump or stops the flow of product at the dispenser when it detects a leak 3. A monitoring system for piping other than that in UDC sumps (tank top sumps, transition vents, etc.) is failsafe and shuts down pump when a leak is detected The technician noted that several fuses inside the monitoring panel were blown. The power module inside the monitoring panel also showed the signs of heat damage. The technician replaced the fuses and retested the above sensors, the sensors failed during the retest. Based on the technician's assessment, the power board module inside the monitoring panel doesn't function as designed. Emergency repairs relating to UST system monitoring and release detection may be performed by a properly licensed, trained, and certified contractor pursuant to the EHD's policy, if a permit is obtained from the EHD within one business day from when the repairs were done. Correct immediately by having a properly licensed, trained, and certified contractor replace the failed component(s) with a functional component(s) and obtain a permit within 1 business day from the EHD. Once the failed component is replaced, schedule an inspection with the EHD for the monitoring system recertification. During the today's inspection, all pertinent system components (except those mentioned in this report) were tested and passed. If the failed component(s) can't be replaced immediately, conduct the line test and submit an updated monitoring plan to the EHD for approval. ALL EHD STAFF TIME ASSOCIATED WITH FAILING TO COMPLY BY THE ABOVE NOTED DATES WILL BE BILLED AT THE CURRENT HOURLY RATE. THIS FACILITY IS SUBJECT TO REINSPECTION AT ANY TIME AT EHD'S CURRENT HOURLY RATE.
