Facility Information The Libbey-Owens-Ford Co. (LOF) manufacturing facility is situated in the City of Lathrop and fronts Louise Avenue, a major east/west route through the City of Lathrop. In 1986, a 5,000 gallon underground storage tank was installed on the north side of the facility adjacent to the cap and cut area (see Figure 1) The tank holds gasoline which is used in forklifts. Underground Tank Monitoring Equipment Monitoring of the underground tank is accomplished by the use of a Veeder-Root TLS -250 tank level sensor system. The monitoring system allows for on -demand inventory reporting as well as the ability to detect leaks via leak detection reports and leak alarm. Information is supplied via a digital readout and/or a print-out. The monitoring equipment is wall mounted and located in the quality control office, approximately 200 feet south of the underground tank (see Figure 1). Monitoring Procedure To monitor the tank, LOP personnel check the Veeder-Root TLS -250 daily, Monday - Friday. The equipment is checked to determine if it is operating correctly. The monitoring equipment allows for manual override to check hardware and software. At the end of the inspection, the results are entered into a log maintained adjacent to the equipment. At the end of the month when tank inventory is taken, the log is collected and placed with the inventory paperwork. Monitoring and maintenance of the monitoring equipment is the responsibility of the electricians assigned to the maintenance department. Assigning these tasks to the maintenance department allows for immediate response to any problems associated with the monitoring equipment including the repair of the equipment. The supplier of the monitoring equipment is also available to assist in trouble shooting any problems. Preventive maintenance of the monitoring equipment will in accordance to the manufacturer's instructions.
