ELM ST. LOD1, CA 95240 <br /> 209.333.6739 <br /> bdoell@lodi.gov <br /> J� <br /> O- Z <br /> From: Cesar Ruvalcaba [EH] [mailto:cruvalcaba@sjcehd.com] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2019 4:33 PM <br /> To: Brad Doell <br /> Cc: Lydia Baker [EH] <br /> Subject: Aboveground Storage Tank with possible fire code violations <br /> Chief Doell, <br /> After one of our routine Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA) inspections and review of the Spill Prevention, <br /> Control, &Countermeasure (SPCC) plan ,the facility at 930 E. Victor Rd in Lodi, was found to have five 12,000 gallon <br /> aboveground storage tanks (AST) containing diesel,that at one point were underground storage tanks (UST). Per the <br /> engineer who certified the SPCC plan the tanks have placards that identify them as USTs. Per the SPCC plan,the USTs are <br /> to be replaced with approved ASTs by January 2020.The facility stated that they are working on getting this completed <br /> within the next 3 to 4 months. <br /> In doing some research, California State Fire Marshal Information Bulletin 14-005 was found, which prohibits USTs being <br /> used as ASTs. The bulletin references Section 5704.2.7, of the California Fire Code. We would like to make you aware of <br /> these potential fire code violations since our department does not have the authority to enforce these regulations. <br /> The tanks are owned and operated by Valley Pacific Petroleum.The facility is a cardlock gas station and is unmanned for <br /> the majority of the day. <br /> If, needed,you can contact Ed Ward, Risk and Regulatory Manager with Valley Pacific <br /> His office number is (209)461-3626, cell phone is (209) 479-9697 and his email is ed.ward@vpps.net <br /> If there are any questions,feel free to contact me at (209) 953-6213 or cruvalcaba@sicehd.com <br />
