2. BPO generates a similar water/hydrocarbon hazardous waste from the <br /> aboveground tank "bottoms". Generation of this waste occurs when water <br /> intrudes on the aboveground tanks from sources such as rain, and the <br /> water must be removed and disposed of. Approximately once a year, <br /> roughly one inch is drawn off from each tank bottom. This waste is <br /> collected via gravity flow to a 6,000 gallon underground tank and is also <br /> hauled to Gibson. The tank is emptied as soon as the waste is collected. <br /> The amount of waste generated from this point source in 1992 was .95 <br /> tons. <br /> 3. Another potential source of hazardous waste, although none to date has <br /> been manifested, are the absorbent pads and booms used for spill clean up <br /> at the loading rack. <br /> VII. VIOLATIONS: <br /> #1 A Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) notification was not <br /> accompanying manifest numbers 90900658, 90900659, and 90900693. <br /> #2 A LDR notification and certification were not accompanying manifest <br /> numbers 90900694 and 90900701. <br /> VIII. OBSERVATIONS: <br /> Mr. Trevena and I arrived at BPO at 10:45 a.m. Upon arriving, we met Mr. <br /> Delbert Gilmore and Mr. Paul Krebsbach. Mr. Trevena and I briefly explained <br /> the nature of our inspection, and Mr. Krebsbach gave consent to perform the <br /> inspection. <br /> Before beginning the physical inspection of the facility, we reviewed the general <br /> operations of the site. Mr. Krebsbach indicated that the wastestreams have not <br /> changed since the last inspection. He further indicated that BPO has still not <br /> generated any waste absorbent for 1992 or so far in 1993. BPO does not <br /> perform any treatment of hazardous waste onsite. Currently, all hazardous <br /> waste generated at the site consists of a water/fuel mixture. <br /> We began the physical observation of the facility accompanied by Mr. Krebsbach. <br /> BPO has three active underground storage tanks (UST) at this facility, and Mr. <br /> Trevena and I inspected them for compliance with the California UST <br /> Regulations. Mr. Krebsbach explained to us that although the vapor "knock out" <br /> tank is designed to collect water and fuel condensate from the pipeline, BPO has <br /> a pipeline to the Shell facility just west of BPO and shares their vapor recovery <br /> unit. If any liquid is captured in this UST, the terminal operator would manually <br /> engage the pump to transfer the liquid to the transmix tank. This procedure <br /> would occur at the most once per year. <br /> We next observed the UST used to accumulate the hazardous waste generated <br /> from the aboveground tank bottoms. In addition, we observed the loading rack <br /> 3 <br />
