The Plan states that the diesel tank is used a "Veeter-Root" system which gets an annual overfill alarm system certification; no such system is at the facility. The Plan lists varied volume amounts for the used oil totes and the volumes of their spill pallet; the totes observed on site were 220 gallons. The Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan must be amended when there is a change in the facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge, within 6 months of the change, and implemented as soon as possible, not later than 6 months following preparation of the amendment. Immediately make all necessary amendments to the SPCC Plan to accurately represent the procedures and policies currently in place at the facility. Violation #302 - Failed to review Plan once every five years and/or implement any resulting amendments. The Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan was written on February 22, 2010 and has not had a full review and evaluation. A review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan must be conducted at least once every 5 years. As a result of this review and evaluation, the SPCC Plan must be amended within 6 months of review, and recertified by a Professional Engineer if any technical amendments were made. Immediately conduct a review of the facility SPCC Plan and make any necessary amendments. Violation #619 - Failed to train personnel on discharge prevention. Oil handling personnel were not trained.

Immediately schedule and conduct a discharge prevention briefing, ensure that they are scheduled and conducted at least once a year. Violation #711 - Failed to perform scheduled tank tests and inspections by appropriately qualified personnel. No integrity testing was observed for the petroleum tanks on site. Each aboveground container shall be tested and inspected for integrity on a regular schedule and whenever repairs are made. The qualifications of personnel performing tests and inspections, frequency and type of testing and inspections that take into account container size, configuration, and design shall be determined in accordance with industry standards. Examples of these integrity tests include, but are not limited to: visual inspection, hydrostatic testing, radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, acoustic emissions testing, or other systems of non-destructive testing. Comparison records and other records of inspections and tests must be maintained on site. Immediately conduct the necessary testing and submit a copy of the test results to the EHD, or provide equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a)(2). Violation #715 - Failed to regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper operation. Liquid level sensing devices are not being regularly tested. According to the monthly tank gauge inspection form, the tank gauge was inspected from June 2011 through June 2012, and has not been tested since. Procedures and frequency of testing for these devices were not addressed in the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan.
