CASE SUMMARY <br />DIRECTOR <br />Donna Heran, REHS <br />PROGRAM COORDINATORS <br />Robert McClellon, REHS <br />Jeff Carruesco, REHS, RDI <br />Kasey Foley, REHS <br />Linda Turkatte, REHS <br />Flag City Chevron is a gasoline and diesel dispensing facility consisting of four <br />underground storage tanks (USTs) and six dispensers. <br />On July 23, 2008, Mr. Garrett Backus, Senior Registered Environmental Health <br />Specialist (REHS), San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department (EHD), <br />performed a routine UST inspection (Attachment 1) and witnessed the annual monitoring <br />system certification, spill container testing, and leak detector testing. The diesel tank <br />annular sensor failed and liquid that appeared to be diesel was found in the under <br />dispenser containment sumps (UDCs) 5/6 and 9/10. The alarm light bulb on the <br />monitoring panel was burned out and the audio alarm worked erratically. During a <br />review of the facility's paperwork, Mr. Backus found that current financial responsibility <br />document were not on file with the EHD and the Unified Program Consolidated Form <br />(UPCF) — Facility, UPCF — Tank forms, and monitoring plan were not current. Also, a <br />new designated operator was hired in January 2008 and the EHD was not notified. <br />On July 23, 2008, Mr. Backus also performed a routine hazardous waste inspection <br />(Attachment 2). Seven 55 -gallon containers were found holding various amounts of <br />hazardous waste. One of the containers had a blank "Hazardous Waste" label on it. <br />Another had a "Hazardous Waste" label with an accumulation start date of 4/07. The <br />remaining five containers were not labeled at all. During a review of the facility's <br />paperwork, Mr: Backus found that the facility did not have a valid Environmental <br />Protection Agency (EPA) Identification number to manage hazardous waste or a <br />contingency plan. <br />On July 24, 2008, permit application SR0054934 was submitted to replace the diesel <br />UST annular sensor. Mr. Backus approved the permit the following day (Attachment 3). <br />
