Environmental Health Department DATE: October 6,2004 RE: Cherokee Lane Service Station 900 S. Cherokee Lane,Lodi, CA 95240 1. SUMMARY October 5,2004 Dennis Catanyag, REHS, performed a routine underground storage tank (UST) inspection (Attachment 1) at the above referenced site. During the course of the inspection, Mr. Catanyag found a dipstick in the drop tube of the 89-PUL tank that rendered the overfill prevention system non-functional. Mr. Catanyag checked the overfill prevention systems of the other three tanks and found them to be functional. At that time, Mr. Catanyag informed the property and tank owner, Mr. Didar Randhawa, about the situation and showed him the drop tube and the dipstick within the tank. Mr. Catanyag also stated the seriousness of the offense by explaining the function of the flapper valve and how the dipstick affected the overfill prevention system. Mr. Randhawa understood the problem and made efforts to correct the problem. Mr. Catanyag told Mr. Randhawa that there is a cable attached to the dipstick so it would be a relatively easy task to remove the stick. Mr. Randhawa requested the aid of his tenant but the individual was unable to retrieve the stick. Mr. Catanyag asked if he could assist in the process and was able to successfully remove the stick. Photographs of the dipstick marked "Williams Tank Lines" were taken (Attachment 2). Mr. Randhawa was upset with the situation and stated that the delivery driver responsible for the incident should have reported it at the time of the occurrence. Mr. Randhawa stated he planned to contact Williams Tank Lines regarding the situation so that it can be prevented in the future. Mr. Catanyag asked the manager, Satwinder Singh Batth,when the facility received its last 89-PUL delivery. Mr. •Batth gave Mr. Catanyag a copy of the invoice (Attachment 3) stating that Boyett Petroleum delivered a load on October 2,2004. Mr. Catanyag also asked how many fueling companies the facility used to get deliveries. Mr. Batth said only one company provided their fuel. Boyett Petroleum was the sole source of their fuel but Williams Tank Lines and Boyett Petroleum deliver fuel to the site.
