11.0 INSPECTIONS, TESTS, AND RECORDS — §112.7(e) The facility uses a preventive maintenance program to conduct routine facility inspections, prevent and detect system malfunctions, equipment deterioration, and operator errors. Appropriate inspections are part of the preventive maintenance program that is used at the Terminal. The following regular inspections are conducted to identify and correct problems before spills occur: • Containment,tanks,piping,pumps,valves and other storage and handling equipment are observed daily by facility personnel. • Secondary containment,tanks,piping,pumps,valves and other oil storage and handling equipment are inspected. These inspections are documented. Documents are maintained in the Equipment Service Center Manager files. • The secondary containment areas that collect rainwater are inspected after rainfall events to determine if accumulated liquids are contaminated or can be released. These inspections are documented. Documents are maintained at the main office by the Distribution Center Manager or their designee. • When buried piping is exposed,it is visually inspected for signs of corrosion. Formal SPCC Inspections Routine Visual Observations Each day the Equipment Service Center Manager or their designee visually observes: • Exposed pumps,pipes,valves and dispensing nozzles for leaks • Fuel storage area lighting for non-functioning lamps • Aboveground tank containment area for accumulated fuel or water • That all underground tank fill caps are locked Deficiencies or comments are documented in the Daily Inspection Log. Monthly Inspections Regular monthly inspections of oil storage and usage areas are conducted and documented to identify and correct problems before spills occur. Conditions that could cause the eventual leaking of oil are reported to the Equipment Service Center Manager. The following observations are made during these inspections: 1) Fueling controls for improperly functioning indicators and controls. Refer to the operational procedures for details. 2) Inspect all lines,tanks,valves and controls for leaks and wear. 3) All oil/water separators for the need to remove oil or sand/gravel (employ a licensed waste oil processor for removal of waste). Ensure the water level is returned to the level of the exit pipe after servicing. 4) Waste oil tanks for the need to empty. 5) Tank leak detection panels. Perform monthly test. 6) Fuel pump automatic shutdown system. The Equipment Service Center Manager or their designee will perform the inspection. After completing an inspection, the inspector will sign the inspection form. Storage and usage areas to be examined during monthly inspections are listed on the Monthly Inspection Form in Appendix B.
