enough backfill material to show that the risers had been protected against corrosion with the use of tape. The two failed spill buckets were retested for tightness and passed. On September 1, 2004, Mr. Catanyag called the assistant manager, Donna Tompkins and asked about the secondary piping termination issue. Ms. Tompkins stated that the pressure was released from the test boot the day of the inspection but remains connected as stated in the letter to the SJVAPCD. Mr. Catanyag contacted Mr. James Espiritu from SJVAPCD and discussed the issue of secondary piping termination for the diesel tank siphon lines. Mr. Espiritu stated that SJVAPCD has no such requirement on the diesel lines. Mr. Espiritu told Mr. Catanyag that he will inform Flying J that SJVAPCD has no such requirement. On April 6, 2005, Mr. Catanyag sent a letter to the facility and the corporate office stating the monitoring certification is past due and must be scheduled immediately(Attachment 7). On April 14, 2005, Dan Crawford, Environmental Compliance Manager for Flying J, left a message for Mr. Catanyag stating the tests had been done. Mr. Crawford requested Mr. Catanyag's e-mail address to forward the information. Mr. Catanyag left a message for Mr. Crawford stating the last documentation that the EHD had received was the monitoring certification that occurred in March, 2004. Any testing (monitoring certification, spill bucket test, or secondary containment test)that may have occurred after that date would be invalid because the EHD was never notified about the testing. On April 14, 2005, Mr. Catanyag received a message from Kathy Clements, NTCA (a contractor hired by Flying J) asking for a call back. After many messages left on voice mails, Mr. Catanyag spoke with Ms. Clements. Ms. Clements asked what type of testing needed to be scheduled for the site. Mr. Catanyag informed Ms. Clements the site must conduct a monitoring certification,test spill containers, and perform secondary containment testing. Mr. Catanyag clarified that documentation submitted by the secondary containment testing company was dated March 22, 2W3, but was received June 12, 2002. There was an error in the test date because the test was actually conducted on March 22, 2002. Ms. Clements said she understood and will schedule the test immediately. On May 10, 2005, Mr. Catanyag called Ms. Clements and asked when the testing will occur. Ms. Clements stated the job is currently out for bid. She hopes to schedule the testing within a couple of weeks but definitely will have it completed by the end of the month. Mr. Catanyag asked Ms. Clements if she was aware that the tests were two months past due. Ms. Clements told Mr. Catanyag she was aware of the fact. On May 10, 2005, Mr. Catanyag went to the facility to get a copy of the designated operator (D.O.) inspection report. Mr. Catanyag wanted to review the D.O. report to see when the last testing was done as this information should be part of each report. Mr. Catanyag spoke with Mr. Shawn Baker, Facility Manager for Flying J. Mr. Catanyag requested a copy of the previous month's inspection reports and after searching for about twenty minutes, the facility personnel were not able to provide Mr. Catanyag a copy. Mr. Baker asked if the inspection reports were the documents submitted to Mr. Crawford on a monthly basis. Without seeing a copy of the reports,Mr. Catanyag was unable to answer the question. Mr. Catanyag informed Mr. Baker that Mr. Crawford is the only person listed as the D.O. (Attachment 8). Mr. Catanyag asked who was performing the monthly inspections and Mr. Baker replied Ms. Tompkins. When asked if Ms. Tompkins had passed the exam, Mr. Baker said she had not passed. Mr. Baker was under the impression that by having a certified designated operator, Flying J was still in compliance even if Ms. Tompkins performed the monthly inspections. Mr. Catanyag showed Mr. Baker the section in the regulations that define the designated operator and their monthly duties. At this time, Mr. Catanyag also informed Mr. Baker that certain tests were also past due and contacted Mr. Crawford, Mr. Rick Callahan and Ms. Clements. Mr. Baker assured Mr. 3
