CCR 2636(f)(1) — Continuous monitoring system for UST. All secondary containment, including under-dispenser containment, and under-dispenser spill control or containment systems, shall be equipped with 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. Twelve sensors were found to be raised in the under dispenser containment. The level of the raised sensors ranged from three inches to approximately three feet. HSC 25299(f)(2) — Disabling leak detection devices. Any person who intentionally disables or tampers with an automatic leak detection system in a manner that would prevent the automatic leak detection system from detecting a leak or alerting the owner or operator of the leak, shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not less than five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year, or by both the fine and imprisonment. Leak detection devices were not located at the lowest possible point to detect the leak at the earliest possible opportunities. Twelve sensors were raised in containment with liquid up to four inches including one sensor raised approximately three feet above the under dispenser containment. CCR 2712(b) — Maintenance and monitoring records. Written monitoring and maintenance records shall be maintained on-site or off-site at a readily available location, if approved by the local agency, for at least 3 years, 6 '/z years for cathodic protection maintenance records and 5 years for written performance claims pertaining to release detection systems, and calibration and maintenance records for such systems. Documentation regarding the cause of alarms and any the corrective action taken were not available for review. CCR 2636(f)(4) — Annual line tightness test. Monitoring shall be conducted on all underground pressurized piping with secondary containment at least annually at a pressure designated by the equipment manufacturer, provided that the method is capable of detecting a minimum release equivalent to 0.1 gallon per hour defined at 150 percent of the normal operating pressure of the product piping system at the test pressure with at least a 95 percent probability of detection and not more than a 5 percent probability of false alarm. Line tightness test was not performed. CCR 2638(a)—Annual certification of monitoring equipment. All monitoring equipment used to satisfy the requirement of this article shall be installed, calibrated, operated and maintained in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, and certified every 12 months for operability, proper operating condition, and proper calibration. There was no monitoring certification performed in 2003 or 2005. It has been scheduled for May 26, 2005. CCR 2662 — Requirements for upgrading UST. Before upgrading an underground storage tank system, the owner or operator shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the local agency that the conditions and requirements specified in subsection 2660(k)will be met.
