On December 10, 2012, Mr. Cacapit sent a follow up letter to the September 4, 2012,
<br /> and September 28, 2012, UST inspections (Attachment 56).
<br /> On December 19, 2012, Mr. Cacapit called Ms. Amiri and Mr. Singh, and left each a
<br /> message asking them to call back regarding the two September inspections.
<br /> On December 21, 2012, Mr. Cacapit sent a Notice of Significant Violation to the facility
<br /> and property owner (Attachment 57).
<br /> On January 1, 2013, a secondary containment testing notification was submitted by fax
<br /> (Attachment 58). Testing was scheduled on January 4, 2013, at 9:00 AM.
<br /> On January 3, 2013, Mr. Cacapit returned a voicemail from Mr. Randy Johnson of
<br /> Johnson Tank Testing and Maintenance, who asked if his testing notification was
<br /> received. Mr. Cacapit told him yes, and confirmed that testing was scheduled for
<br /> January 4, 2013, at 9:00 AM.
<br /> On January 4, 2013, Mr. Ray von Flue, Lead Senior REHS, EHD, and Ms. Elena Manzo,
<br /> Environmental Health Specialist Trainee, EHD, were onsite to witness the secondary
<br /> containment testing at 9:00 AM. Mr. von Flue parked on the east side of the facility
<br /> facing west, so he could see the entire facility including the tank pad. No one arrived on
<br /> site to perform testing by 10:00 AM, so Mr. von Flue and Ms. Manzo left the site without
<br /> contacting the tank tester or tank operator.
<br /> On January 10, 2013, a monitoring system test report for testing performed on
<br /> September 28, 2012, was submitted, two months late (Attachment 59). The report
<br /> indicated that the only failure was the 87-octane spill container, which contradicts the
<br /> failures noted in the inspection report (87-octane leak detector, 91-octane spill container,
<br /> and diesel tank annular sensor).
<br /> On January 12, 2013, Mr. Cacapit called and spoke to the manager, Mr. Harnek Singh,
<br /> and expressed the need for the facility to correct the outstanding violations. Mr. Cacapit
<br /> then called Mr. Sam Singh and left a voicemail expressing the same. Then Mr. Cacapit
<br /> called Ms. Amiri, but she hung up on him.
<br /> On February 20, 2013, Mr. Cacapit red tagged both 87-octane tanks for failing to repair
<br /> or replace the failed 87-octane leak detector (Attachment 60). While on site, Mr. Cacapit
<br /> asked the manager, Mr. Harnek Singh, about the secondary containment testing. Mr.
<br /> Singh stated that Mr. Johnson was on site at 9:00 AM on January 4, 2013, to perform
<br /> the testing. Mr. Singh provided a copy of the secondary containment test report to Mr.
<br /> Cacapit (Attachment 61). According to the test report, the first test started at 9:05 AM
<br /> after a five minute wait, and the conclusion of last test was at 2:30 PM. A total of four
<br /> different tests were allegedly started between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM.
<br /> On February 21, 2013, a permit application, SR0066648, was submitted to retest the 87-
<br /> octane leak detector, 87-octane spill container, 91-octane spill container, diesel UST
<br /> annular sensor, and 87-octane siphon UST annular sensor, and to make repairs if
<br /> necessary. Mr. Cacapit approved the permit the following day (Attachment 62).
