STAT= OF CALIFORNIA PETE WILSON, Governor CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD— CENTRAL +_. VALLEY REGION � 3443 ROUTIER ROAD. SUITE A � SACRAMENTO, CA 95827.3098JI-1 � PHONE: (916) 361-5600 FAX. ;916) 361-5686 26 March 1992 Mr. Mike Vomund Chevron U.S.A., inc. P.O. Box 5004 San Ramon, CA 94583-0804 ABOVEGROUND TANK INSPECTION OF CHEVRON BANTA FUEL TERMINAL IN TRACY, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY This letter and enclosed memo supersede the earlier letter and memo dated 17 March 1992 and 28 February 1992, respectively. The enclosed report discusses the 29 June 1992 inspection by staff geologist Polly Lowry. As stated in the enclosed memo, deficiencies in the SPCC Plan include 1) the absence of emergency phone numbers; 2) no discussion of applicable state laws; 3) no discussion of the ground water monitoring system; 4) maintenance inspection reports neither initialed or signed by an inspector nor included in the plan; and 5) no record of employee training. These items should be included in the revised SPCC Plan which is due this year. The discharge of stormwater runoff, treated oil/water separator effluent and possible releases from any of the aboveground petroleum storage tanks to the unlined stormwater pond (lower containment area) is a threat to ground water quality because of the shallow ground water. By 21 April 1992, you are required to submit a technical report and corrective action plan to re—medy the situation. The technical report also must evaluate the use of the containment area for wastewater disposal and secondary containment and propose a correc- tive action plan if needed. A Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) and an NPDES permit application are required to obtain permits for discharges to and from the lower containment area. The necessary forms and annual fee schedule were enclosed with our 17 March 1992 letter. Please submit the completed forms, accompanied by the first annual fee, by 21 April 1992. We have tentatively classified your discharge as Category IIb, so the annual fee is $1,200. An additional RWD will be required later for any discharges of treated ground water. Monitoring of the ground water and remediation efforts should continue. We will provide comments soon on Chevron's 1990 Problem Assessment Report to provide regulatory oversight of Chevron's remediation efforts.
