PMER how 10. Inspections, Tests, and Records - §112.7(e) This inspection program is intended to provide a mechanism to prevent and detect system malfunctions, equipment deterioration, and operator errors prior to a release occurring. The inspection program is designed to provide an early warning of the potential for such events in order that corrective and preventive actions may be taken in a timely manner. The inspection program is implemented by qualified and trained individuals assigned the responsibility to detect any unsafe conditions at the Facility and prevent adverse consequences. The designated individuals have the training and authority to: • Implement the required inspections • Perform necessary evaluations and hazard assessments • Recommend appropriate corrective or remedial actions 10.1 Visual Non-Documented Observations The Facility operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Therefore, employees are at the Facility on a regular basis. While on Site, Facility personnel observe the condition of the tanks, piping, valves, pumps, other oil storage equipment, ground surface and secondary containment areas for drips, corrosion, and fatigue, which could indicate the potential for leaks. This is completed on an ongoing basis. All signs of leakage or potential leakage are reported to the Environmental Specialist or his designee immediately. The results of these inspections are not recorded unless an issue is observed. Items identified during the visual observations that require corrective action are reported to the Environmental Specialist or his designee, who will ensure that corrective measures are implemented and completed. 10.2 Monthly and Annual Documented Inspections Formal monthly and Annual SPCC Inspection of oil product storage, equipment, and transfer areas are conducted to identify and correct problems before spills occur and to meet the SPCC regulations. Conditions which could cause the eventual leaking of oils are reported to the Environmental Specialist or his designee. The Environmental Specialist or another designated individual will perform the inspection. After completion, the inspector and Environmental Specialist will sign the inspection form (example forms are provided in Appendix D). Completed inspection forms are kept on file at the Owens-Brockway District Office for a minimum of three (3)years. Items identified during the inspections that require corrective action are reported to the Environmental Specialist or his designee who will ensure that corrective measures are implemented and completed before spills, releases, or potential failure could occur.
