Environmental Health Department CP22 - AST Non-Qualified Inspection Report Date: October 21, 2024 Facility Address: 1002 FRONTAGE RD, RIPON Facility Name: GAS & SHOP SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I, CLASS II, or MINOR - Notice to Comply) RemarksItem # 1. Secure and control access to the oil handling, processing, and storage areas and prevent unauthorized access to starter controls and oil pumps. -Page 36 of the plan states that security is maintained during the 24/7 business hours of the facility via constant surveillance of the facility manager and subordinate personnel. Staff on site at the time of inspection stated that the facility is not manned 24/7. Access to the tanks and system components including oil pumps are not restricted when staff is not on site. 2. Secure the master flow and drain valves. -Page 32 of the plan states that the fill port at the above-ground tank containment wall shall be kept locked except when fuel transfers are taking place. The fill port was observed unlocked at the time of inspection. REGULATION GUIDANCE: Describe in your Plan how you secure and control access to the oil handling, processing and storage areas; secure master flow and drain valves; prevent unauthorized access to starter controls on oil pumps; secure out-of-service and loading/unloading connections of oil pipelines; and address the appropriateness of security lighting to both prevent acts of vandalism and assist in the discovery of oil discharges. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Ensure that the following security measures are implemented at the facility: 1. Secure and control access to the oil handling, processing, and storage areas and prevent unauthorized access to starter controls and oil pumps. 2. Secure the master flow and drain valves. Provide proof of correction to the EHD. This is a repeat violation (Class 2) Violation. Code of Fed Regulations 112.8(b)(1) 4030035 - Facility drainage adequately restrained unless conditions met. OBSERVATION: Failed to adequately use valves to restrain drainage from diked storage areas. An open break was observed in an approximately 2 inch pipe running along the interior of the north wall of the containment area that did not have a manual valve. REGULATION GUIDANCE: (1) Restrain drainage from diked storage areas by valves to prevent a discharge into the drainage system or facility effluent treatment system , except where facility systems are designed to control such discharge. You may empty diked areas by pumps or ejectors ; however, you must manually activate these pumps or ejectors and must inspect the condition of the accumulation before starting, to ensure no oil will be discharged. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately install the correct type of valves to be used for the drainage of diked areas and amend the SPCC Plan as necessary. Ensure that drainage valves remain closed to prevent discharge from diked areas, only use manually activated pumps to empty diked areas, and inspect the condition of accumulated liquids (to ensure no oil will be discharged) prior to draining. Submit proof of correction to the EHD. This is (Class 2) Violation. 42 Code of Fed Regulations 112.8(c)(2) 4030010 - Adequately sized secondary containment provided and maintained for bulk storage containers. OBSERVATION: The 20,000 gallons tanks may be permanently manifolded tanks. Four 20,000 gallon tanks were observed and appear to share common piping and only one pipe travels from the tank farm to the dispensers. The SPCC plan may need to have a discussion on whether or not the tanks meet the definition of permanently manifolded tanks and if so, how secondary containment is achieved. Note: Permanently manifolded tanks are tanks that are designed, installed, or operated in such a manner that the 48 FA0000650 PR0516198 SC001 10/21/2024 EHD Rev. 12/06/2021 CP22 - AST Non-Qualified OIRPage 9 of 16 1868 E.
