Fraze Bakersfield, CA 93309 Fire Chief Gary Hutton NOTICE OF VIOLATION Senior Deputy Chief AND SCHDULE FOR COMPLIANCE Administration Re: Failure to Perform Statistical Inventory Reconciliation (SIR) 326 -3650 Manual Tank Gauging at Whitewater Car Wash. 5201 Stockdale Hwy Deputy Chief Dean Clason Operations/Training Dear Mr. Sisal: 326 -3652 During your annual fuel monitor certification performed by Redwine Testing Deputy Chief Kirk Blair Services on Wednesday, January 3, 2007, the following violations were noted: Fire Safety/Prevention Services 1. No in -tank probes. Currently, your Gilbarco fuel326 -3653 monitor device is not doing Automatic Tank Gauging ATG). Point -in -fact, you have no probes in any of PREVENTION SERVICES your tanks to do ATG. Code allows for Statistical Inventory Reconciliation (SIR) under the followingRalphHuey, Director conditions: 900 Truxtun, Suite 210 Bakersfield, CA 93301 a. SIR shall be conducted at least once per VOICE (661) 326 -3979 month in accordance with Section 2646.1 FAX (661) 852 -2171 (Title 23 California Code of Regulations, Division 3, Chapter 16 Underground Tank Regulations) and shall be capable of detecting a release of 0.2 gallons per hour. In addition, a tank integrity test shall be conducted once every two years in accordance with Section 2643.1. SIR analyzes inventory, delivery, and dispensing data collected over a period of time to determine whether or not a tank system is leaking. b. Each operating day, the product level is measured using a gauge stick or other tank level monitor. You also keep complete records of all withdrawals from the UST and all deliveries to the UST. After data have been collected for the period of time required by the SIR vendor, you provide the data to the SIR vendor. l Mr. Julio Sical, Whitewater Car Wash, 7991 White Lane, Bakersfield, CA 93309 January 4, 2007 Page 2 C. The SIR vendor uses sophisticated computer software to conduct a statistical analysis of the data to determine whether or not your UST system may be leaking. The SIR vendor provides you with a test report of the analysis. To be allowable as monthly monitoring, a SIR method must be able to detect a leak of at least as small as 0.2 gallons per hour and meet the federal regulatory requirements regarding probabilities of detection and a false alarm data must be submitted at least monthly. e. The vendor, as is mentioned, is a third party firm that specializes in sophisticated computer software to conduct SIR. It is not the responsibility of your fuel supplier. 2. All three direct bury spill buckets failed. They must be repaired/ replaced immediately. 3. You have a secondary vent line in the 91 turbine sump that is cracked. The crack runs at least 12 inches and appears to go through the penetration fitting outside of the turbine sump. This also must be replaced immediately. 4. When the turbine sumps were opened, two of them (#87 and #91) had free standing water in them approximately six inches. Both sensor probes were totally submerged and were not in alarm which indicates that the sensors are not functioning. Since no alarm was indicated at the panel, these also must be replaced immediately. 5. You have three exit signs where the bulbs are burned out and must be replaced. Please have this corrected within 30 days (February 3, 2007). It is the recommendation of this office that you install an ATG system in lieu of SIR reporting. Your Gilbarco system is capable of adding an ATG system to its software. This would avoid SIR requirement. It is also recommended that your Designated Operator (who should have noticed that much water in your turbine sumps as it appears that water has been accumulating for some time) should have caught this with a minor visual inspection. Also, it is recommended that your documentation (log book) for your Designated Operator be kept next to your Gilbarco monitor device. This will insure that when an Inspector asks for it, it can be readily available. Your book was apparently lost (could not be found during my inspection). However, Redwine Testing Services (I was told) brought out a replacement copy. Mr. Julio Sical, Whitewater Car Wash, 7991 White Lane, Bakersfield, CA 93309 January 4, 2007 Page 3 Lastly, documentation, all contractors who perform fuel monitoring certifications are required by law to affix a tag/sticker for every component that is tested and certified. During my inspection, no stickers were affixed to any of your UST components. In the future, please look to see that any repair work or certifications that are done have a tag or sticker affixed. Items 1 through 4 need immediate attention. Failure to comply may result in revocation of your Permit to Operate. Item 5 must be corrected within 30 days, February 3, 2007. Should you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 661 — 326 -3190.
