S b N J 0 A Q U I N Environmental Health Department COUNTY Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act Inspection Report Facility Name: Facility Address: Date: Granite Construction Company-French Camp 1 10500 S Harlan Rd, French Camp April 25, 2019 SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I,CLASS II,or MINOR-Notice to Comply) Item# Remarks 712 CFR 112.8(c)(6)Failed to test or inspect each container for integrity based on industry standards. Page 13 of the SPCC plan states"All tanks within Area C are empty with hoses removed, and locked out.Area C has been unmanned since March 2017. Therefore, daily/weekly inspections of this area are no longer performed.As a best practice,this area is inspected at least twice per year by the Environmental Department and recorded in Intelex." This inspection schedule deviates from the SP001 standard that was selected by the professional engineer in the SPPC plan. Test or inspect each aboveground container for integrity on a regular schedule and whenever you make material repairs.You must determine, in accordance with industry standards,the appropriate qualifications for personnel performing tests and inspections,the frequency and type of testing and inspections,which take into account container size, configuration, and design (such as containers that are: shop-built,field-erected, skid-mounted, elevated, equipped with a liner, double-walled, or partially buried). 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.You must keep comparison records and you must also inspect the container's supports and foundations. In addition, you must frequently inspect the outside of the container for signs of deterioration, discharges, or accumulation of oil inside diked areas. Records of inspections and tests kept under usual and customary business practices satisfy the recordkeeping requirements of this paragraph. Ensure that the industry standard mentioned in the SPCC plan is followed. Note: If an owner or operator deviates from applicable industry standards to develop an integrity testing program, then a PE must certify an environmentally equivalent alternative in the SPCC Plan.The Plan must provide the reason for the deviation, describe the alternative approach, and explain how it achieves environmental protection equivalent to the applicable industry standard. This is a Class II violation. 714 CFR 112.8(c)(8)(kiv) Failed to provide each container with a high level monitoring device. AST 6 was observed with a broken liquid level gauge. At least one of the following devices must be installed in each container: -High liquid level alarm with audible or visual signal -High liquid level pump cutoff device set to stop flow at a predetermined content level -Direct audible or code signal communication between the container gauger and the pumping station -Fast response system, such as digital computer,telepulse, or direct vision gauge. If a direct vision gauge is being used for determining the liquid level of each tank, a person must be present to monitor gauges and the overall filling of the tanks. Immediately install an approved liquid level sensing device in accordance with CFR 112.8 and implement necessary procedures to ensure that the devices are fully functional and in use at all times during tank filling operations, or provide equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a)(2). This is a Class II violation. FA0005245 PR0516151 SCO01 04/25/2019 EHD 28-01 Rev.09/27/2018 Page 6 of 8 Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act OIR 1868 E.
