All secondary containment systems shall be sloped so that all releases will flow to a collection sump located at the low point of the underground piping. Three diesel product lines within the piping sumps did not allow releases to flow to a collection sump. CCR 2637(a) — Secondary containment testing. Secondary containment systems installed on or after January 1, 2001 shall be tested upon installation, 6 months after installation, and every 36 months thereafter. Secondary containment systems installed prior to January 1, 2001 shall be tested by January 1,2003 and every 36 months thereafter. Secondary containment testing was past due. The Lodi facility should have been tested by March 22, 2005. Testing did not occur until May 25 and 26, 2005. The Ripon facility had the test performed on March 8 and 9, 2005. However, there were five failures that have not been repaired as of August 16,2005. HSC 25291(e) — Water in secondary containment. 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.
