Presto, Carol [EHD] <br /> From: DPaul McWhorter <spccorp@hotmail.com> <br /> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2021 12:13 PM <br /> To: Gary delCarlo; Presto, Carol [EHD] <br /> Subject: SPCC plan/Title 22 proposal <br /> CAUTION:This email is originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the <br /> sender and know the content is safe. <br /> Gary/Carol: <br /> Good/Bad news: I have concluded there was a mis-communication between the client and SPC Corp which <br /> was probably our fault as follows (I probably should have rescheduled yesterday's onsite inspection until the <br /> pad was completed----as a result, I am proposing an "interim" SPCC plan/Title 22 Assessment: <br /> 1. Good news: Virtually every tank (both stationary and nurse-tank units) was tested using periodic <br /> integrity tank protocols and PASSED without exception. In addition, SPC Corp provided a third <br /> complimentary test to Haley---testing the steel-wall thickness for each unit at no add'I charge (I believe <br /> this legitimizes our evaluation beyond the floor-level requirement). However, three of the 2000 gal <br /> ASTs (AvGas, Gasoline, Diesel) have not been installed on their pad due to problems with the spec-Engr <br /> and the Construction Company who will eventually prepare/pour the pad in 2022. When the pad is <br /> complete, I will retest these three ASTs to insure that the movement of the tanks has not structurally <br /> damaged any of them (we/SPC Corp will not charge Haley for yesterday's test of three ASTs although <br /> we will document their pass-results in the interim spcc plan.......when we re-test them in the future, <br /> upon completion of the pad, we will charge Haley a discounted fee and include these tank-test certs in <br /> the final SPCC plan) ---this complies with both the Fire Code and Environmental requirements. <br /> 2. Good news: Based upon debriefing with Gary yesterday, I am going to waive the Title 22 Site <br /> Assessment fee ($1650) because although we/SPC Corp will issue a PE wet-stamped/certified Title 22 <br /> for separate documentation as well as include it in the spcc plan, the onsite gallonage does NOT meet <br /> required thresholds and will be found as ---as a result, I am not comfortable in charging Mr. <br /> delCarlo for this transaction. Moreover, Mr. delCarlo has still agreed to anchor the container as we are <br /> in a seismic zone---I believe these good-faith efforts deserve consideration. <br /> 3. Bad news: The chemical/spraying and fertilizer poly tanks were inspected and will be referenced in <br /> the spcc plan. No fee will be charged for this reference documentation. In addition, currently these <br /> units are empty and are only in use seasonally with crops. <br /> 4. Bad news: Petroleum nurse tanks were also empty and are only in use seasonally as in item #3--- <br /> therefore, we will include tank-testing certs with each nurse tank. Question: normally the Fire Code <br /> requires these types of tanks to be signed as "out of service......I believe this is misleading and since <br /> they are restricted to seasonal use AND Mr. delCarlo has them emptied on a daily basis as a safety- <br /> measure, SPC Corp will NOT charge Haley for documenting these as well. <br /> 5. Good/Bad news: I am proposing SPC Corp submit a "provisional" spcc plan to both Haley and San <br /> Joaquin-CuPA until the onsite construction of the pad is completed. Upon completion of the pad and <br /> installation of the 3 ASTs to their permanent location, SPC Corp will conduct the periodic integrity tests <br /> for the three ASTs (AvGas, gasoline, diesel) and a discounted-fee will be charged. The Title 22 Site <br /> Assessment will be processed, PE wet-stamped and certified as soon as Mr. delCarlo has anchored the <br /> system and provided us photographic proof of this measure. By having an "interim/provision" spcc <br /> plan (although not PE wet-stamped/certified), we will have some plan in place on the chance of any <br /> 1 <br />
