This Hazardous Materials Business Plan is designed to satisfy the requirements of Section 6.95 of the State Health and Safety Code(codified sections of AB 2185 and AB 2187 and SARA Title III Federal Law.) The plan is also intended for employee guidance in minimizing potential and actual hazards which could affect our employees,the public,or the environment during fire,explosion,or any unplanned sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous materials to the air,soil,surface,or ground water. The plan is also designed to set procedures for reporting releases or threatened releases of hazardous materials which may pose a potential hazard to our employees,the public,or the environment. In the event a substantial change is made in the normal business operation,the local regulatory agency will be notified within 30 days of that change. The Hazardous Materials Inventory Form will be resubmitted on an annual basis. A complete Hazardous Materials Business Plan will be resubmitted every two years. Description of Operation The operation of Beacon Station#3698 located at 153 East 1 Ith Street Tracy.CA 95376 is primarily to serve the general public through retail sale of petroleum products,miscellaneous consumer packaged products,and various food items. The petroleum products(i.e.gasoline,diesel)are stored in underground storage tanks which conform with local, state,and federal laws or regulations. Underground piping and dispensing equipment is also installed and maintained in conformance with local,state,and federal laws or regulations. Control of inventory is maintained through the use of an inventory reconciliation program which allows the facility manager to accurately monitor control the inventory. Product reorders are based on the reconciled inventory and maximum tank capacity. Delivery of the product is achieved within the conformity of local,state,and federal laws or regulations. Prior to unloading product,delivery drivers are required to gauge the tank and record this information on the delivery ticket. Upon completion of unloading,the tank is again gauged and the information recorded. Reporting Notification and Scene Management In the event of a hazardous materials release or potential release, it is the employee's responsibility to insure the safety of other employees and the general public. The employee will first notify,over the public address system or by voice,all other employees and the general public of the emergency. The employee will then notify emergency response personnel by dialing 9-1-1. It is the employee's responsibility to secure the immediate area to prevent any unnecessary exposure of the public or employees. When the immediate area has been secured,the employee will notify the facility manager,or if necessary,the area manager. The facility manager or area manager will notify other administrative agencies,as necessary,of the release. (See page 2 call list and attached Emergency Response Evacuation Plan.) Prevention and Mitigation The facility has been constructed and is maintained within local,state,and federal laws or regulations. Prevention of a release is achieved through inventory reconciliation,annual tank testing,maintenance of facility equipment,and employee training. In the event of a release,employees have been instructed to respond quickly so the extent of the release can be minimized. Employees have been instructed to immediately stop the release(i.e.tum off the power, HMBP3698
