Site Name, County, Operating Stockton, California, USA Date of Construction: 1938 Site Ref. No.: 31 <br />Company: <br />Total Site Area (m2), <br />Freehold/leasehold/other: <br />United Storage <br />8,900 <br />Freehold <br /> <br />Total Tanks Present & 32 <br />Storage Volume (m3): 27,871 I113 <br /> <br />Page 9 of 10 <br /> <br />ISSUES FINDINGS IMPLICATION / CORRECTIVE <br />ACTION <br />Environmental Nuisances According to site management, no complaints have been made regarding noise or <br />odour from the site. <br />None <br />Limited Compliance Overview The site holds a discharge consent for discharges to the POTW. Site operations <br />appear to be in order. <br />None <br />PREVIOUS AUDITS / INVESTIGATIONS <br />Details of relevant findings of last <br />corporate SHE Audit <br />Report not presented for review. None <br />Date and relevant findings of last <br />corporate engineering inspection <br />Terminal Inspection Report, GR Reeves, 23rd January 2002 <br />Spill trays are located along the rail siding such that all spillage's are collected and <br />controlled — the area is maintained in good order. Two boiler-houses are located at the site <br />— the older building housing a redundant boiler, which is due for removal. Arrangements <br />are in hand to establish if the building or the boiler contains asbestos such that removal <br />may be progressed in keeping with statutory requirements. The steam header from the <br />redundant boiler remains pressurised under steaming conditions — arrangements are in <br />hand for disconnection. A leaking steam pipe adjacent to the boiler hotwell requires <br />attention. Mains water supply for process purposes is suitably protected as required by the <br />water authority. Site drainage is via a gravity interceptor that is routed into the municipal <br />sewer. A total of over 30 tanks and vessels provide for the storage and batch-mixing <br />operation. No formal records of inspections or tank repairs are maintained. Spill <br />containment is provided for only in the batch blending product area of the site, which <br />includes acid storage. Any major spillage of product from the operation will almost <br />certainly have a negative impact on the adjacent areas. Most of the site therefore drains to <br />the municipal sewer through the main interceptor, which provides for a 3-chamber <br />separator complete with isolation valve. A heavy spillage of oil in the bund area should be <br />cleared. A single 16" NB MS dockline serves the facility — this is routed below ground for <br />most of the route beyond the terminal. At the berth a section is , suspended below the <br />warehouse. Inspection of the dockline below the berth and a formalised system of record <br />keeping are recommended to establish and monitor the condition of the pipeline at the <br />supports. A section of wrapping approx. 20' in length has been damaged at the berth <br />immediately before the warehouse — this damage may have occurred during the <br />installation of an adjacent pipeline. The dockline is extended to serve the adjacent <br />Westway installation. The above ground section of pipeline should be prepared and <br />None <br />UCAEAS "LIERINC 916703113.doc
