SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 4 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT 600 East Main Street, Stockton, California 95202-3029 Telephone: (209) 468-3420 Fax: (209) 468-3433 Web: www.sigov.org/ehd/unitiii.htmi CONTINUATION FORM OFFICIAL INSPECTION REPORT Page: 3 of 3 Date: 03/03/11 Facility Address: 1469 E Hammer Lane Program: UST SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS CLASS I, CLASS 11, or MINOR -Notice to Comply) Underground Storage Tank (UST) Inspection 5, 27, 36) On 3-3-11, Garrett Backus, of the Environmental Health Department, was on site to witness secondary containment testing of repaired components and verify correct operation of the diesel tank turbine relay. The technician who did the initial secondary containment testing on 2-8-11 stated in his report that the diesel turbine relay contacts are fused shut and do not shut down the diesel turbine when the diesel sump sensor goes into alarm. On 3-3-11, Gerardo Guzman of Walton Engineering checked the diesel turbine relay and found a plastic cylinder, taped to the relay cover, holding the relay closed. The plastic cylinder disabled the positive shutdown function. With the relay closed, the diesel turbine will always be on and positive shutdown will not work if the diesel sump liquid sensor goes into alarm or the sensor is disconnected. Gerardo removed the plastic cylinder and verified that the relay was working properly, restoring positive shutdown for the diesel sump sensor. The UST monitoring plan for the facility states that piping leak alarms and failure/disconnection of the monitoring system will trigger automatic pump (turbine) shutdown (positive shutdown). If the facility does not want the system set up for positive shutdown then an annual line tightness test will be required and the monitoring plan must be updated. On 3-10-11, Garrett Backus inspected the fuel tank turbine relays, designated operator reports, alarm history and alarm logs at the facility. Garrett spoke with assistant manager Julie Tafoya. Julie did not know why the diesel relay was altered with the plastic cylinder on 3-3-11. On 3-10-11, all of the turbine relays appeared to be working properly. The facility records show that the last alarms for the diesel STP sump were 2-8-11 (fuel and sensor out alarms) and 7-19-10 (fuel alarm). The secondary containment testing was done on 2-8-11 and the last monitoring system certification was done on 7-19-10. Walton Engineering service receipts from January and February 2011 indicate that dispensers 5 and 7 had problems dispensing fuel. Dispensers 5, 7 and 9 dispense Diesel product.
