3. The UDC 9/10 and main 30 UDC sensor failed to activate an audible and visual <br /> alarm when tested to ensure continuous monitoring of the tank system. All <br /> monitoring equipment shall be maintained to activate an audible and visual alarm or <br /> stop the flow of product at the dispenser when it detects a leak. The Veeder Root <br /> 794380-322 sensor was replaced and retested during the inspection. Obtain a <br /> permit from the EHD for this work within one business day. If a permit is not <br /> obtained within one business day, a "Failure to Obtain a Permit" penalty will apply. <br /> Note: When Veeder Root 322 sensors fail, we discourage the use of the polymer <br /> strip sensor discriminating option due to concern about the impact that repeated <br /> prolonged exposure to hydrocarbons to the sensor will affect its ability to detect, <br /> alarm, and recover from an alarm. If installed, ensure that it is programmed not to <br /> discriminate between fuel and liquid. <br /> As mentioned in the UST Program Inspection, the sensors that failed during testing <br /> were replaced and retested immediately. A permit was obtained by Jones Covey <br /> within one business day(enclosed). Per your note, Jones Covey has submitted an <br /> application to the EHD to replace all of the 322 discriminating sensors at this location <br /> with 208 non-discriminating sump sensors that will be programmed for positive <br /> shutdown. This work will be completed as soon as possible. <br /> 4. The tank#2 diesel line leak detector failed to detect a leak when tested. All line leak <br /> detectors shall be capable of detecting a 3-gallon per hour leak at 10 psi. <br /> Immediately have a properly licensed, trained, and certified contractor repair or <br /> replace the failed leak detector (LG 113-x listed, if applicable) and obtain a permit <br /> within one business day from the EHD. If the failed leak detector can't be replace <br /> immediately, there is a possibility that the UST system may be red tagged to prevent <br /> fuel inputs. <br /> The leak detector that failed was a type that is not common in CA. In the permit <br /> application submitted to the EHD, Jones Covey requested permission to replace the <br /> existing FE Petro mechanical leak detector with a Vaporless LD 3000. This was <br /> installed and tested on May 25, 2011, following notification to the EHD. Please see <br /> the enclosed job ticket and test report. <br /> 5. The designated operator failed to document and failed to document that an alarm <br /> was responded to appropriately. The missing alarms include: L45 transition sump 1 <br /> high liquid alarm on 8-2-10. During the monthly inspection, the designated operator <br /> shall review the alarm history for the previous month, check that each alarm was <br /> documented and responded to appropriately, and attach a copy of the alarm history <br /> with documentation taken in response to any alarms to the monthly report. Ensure <br /> that designated operators performing monthly inspections at this facility are including <br /> all of the required information on the reports. <br /> The L45 transition sump 1 high liquid alarm was noted by the designated operator <br /> during the monthly inspection on August 17, 2010, in Items 5 and 5a. Per the <br /> instructions on the Monthly Visual Inspection Checklist, the designated operator <br /> performed a visual inspection of this sump and noted that it was free of water, debris <br /> and hazardous substances, as well as verifying that the sensor was in the proper <br />
