The following is an itemized list of aboveground petroleum storage act violations that have not been addressed for NORCAL TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION as of July 09, 2019. Open violations from May 09, 2019 inspection Violation #103 - Failed to file HMBP or annual facility tank statement. The last business plan was submitted to CERS on 11/13/2015. A tank facility statement or business plan has not been submitted within the last year. A tank facility statement identifying the name and address of the tank facility, a contact person for the tank facility, the total storage capacity of the tank facility, and the location, size, age, and contents of each storage tank that exceeds 10,000 gallons in capacity and that holds a substance containing at least 5 percent of petroleum shall be submitted annually. Submittal of a business plan satisfies the requirement to submit a tank facility statement. Immediately submit a tank facility statement or business plan. Violation#712 - Failed to test or inspect each container for integrity based on industry standards. An industry standard was not designated in the SPCC plan. 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 record keeping requirements of this paragraph. Ensure that an industry standard is selected, discussed in the SPCC plan and followed. Submit a copy of the amended plan to the EHD. 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. Violation #718 -Failed to locate properly or provide sufficient secondary containment for mobile/portable containers. Two 55 gallon drums of motor oil were observed with insufficient secondary containment. One blue metal and one red metal drum of motor oil were observed on the north wall of the shop without secondary containment. Portable oil storage containers must be positioned or located to prevent a discharge and shall be furnished with a secondary means of containment sufficient to contain the capacity of the largest single container with sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. Immediately provide sufficient secondary containment for this and all other portable containers at this facility, or provide equivalence as allowed by CFR 112.7(a)(2). On page 8 of the SPCC plan the plan states that there will be oil drums on site. On page 9 of the SPCC Plan on the facility map one oil drum is indicated. On page 31 of the SPCC plan it says that the facility"has no mobile or portable containers within their oil product system". Two 55 gallon drums of motor oil were observed during the inspection. For mobile or portable containers, either provide the type of oil and storage capacity for each container or provide an estimate of the potential number of mobile or portable containers, the types of oil, and anticipated storage capacities. Ensure that the SPCC plan accurately reflects portable and mobile containers. Submit a copy of the amended plan to the EHD for review. Violation #720 -Failed to provide corrosion protection for buried piping. -The facility map on page 9 of the SPCC plan indicates buried piping from the 12,000 gallon diesel tank to the fuel island. Page 30 of the SPCC plan states that"there is no underground piping on site for the oil products". Buried piping that is installed or replaced after August 16, 2002, shall be provided with a protective wrapping and coating and cathodically protected. Immediately provide all buried piping installed on or after August 16, 2002, a protective wrapping and coating and cathodic protection and ensure that the SPCC plan accurately discusses the buried piping in the SPCC plan. Submit a copy of the amended SPCC plan to the EHD. Page 1 of 2
