OVERALL INSPECTION NOTES AND COMMENTS NOTES On site and met with environmental health and safety manager David Williamson of Community Fuels and Steven P. Bender (Regulatory Compliance Inspector) of Compliance First, LLC. Per David, the oil was released from a ball joint. The oil infiltrated the insulation of tanks 1316 (upstairs) and T313 (downstairs) and caused afire. The tanks are inside warehouse 809C. The warehouse has secondary containment and a cooking oil and water mixture was observed inside the warehouse floor. The fire has been stopped and the tanks are currently being cooled with water before they can be repaired. Per David, the cooking oil and water mixture will be put into the P116 tank where it will sit for 24 hours to separate. Once separated, the water will be pumped from the bottom of the tank and sent to Eastbay Mud. The cooking oil will be put back into the facilities process. Absorbent booms were observed blocking a dry ditch. There were no signs of the cooking oil and water entering the ditch. The cooking oil and water mixture was also observed outside the warehouse on the asphalt and some entered the roll-off bin outside the warehouse. Per Steven of Compliance First, they will oversee Community Fuels clean-up and continue to follow-up. Per David, he anticipates clean-up to be completed by tomorrow, Friday at the latest. David provided shipping receipts from Reno Rendering Company which confirmed that the product is used cooking oil. Per David, they have been receiving used cooking oil for the past year. Per David, no other materials were released. The person in charge is responsible for ensuring that the above mentioned facility is in compliance with all applicable sections of the California Health and Safety Code. If a reinspection is required, fees will be assessed at the current hourly rate.
