RE: 402 South Chester, One Stop Mobil
Dear, Mr. Singh
This is to confirm that the 2 underground storage tank(s) have been granted
temporary closure by this agency for the 12 month period beginning May 10,
2016 and ending on May 10, 2017.
Temporary closure is hereby granted under the following conditions
contained in Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations:
2671. TEMPORARY CLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
(a) An owner or operator shall comply with all of the following
requirements to complete and maintain temporary closure of an
underground storage tank:
(1) All residual liquid, solids, or sludge's shall be removed and
handled in accordance with the applicable provisions of in
accordance with Chapters 6.5 and 6.7 of Division 20 of the
Health and Safety Code.
(2) If the underground storage tank contained a hazardous
substance that could produce flammable vapors at standard
temperature and pressure, it shall be inerted, as often as
necessary, to levels that will preclude an explosion or to lower
levels as required by the local agency.
(3) The underground storage tank may be filled with a non-
corrosive liquid that is not a hazardous substance. This liquid
shall be tested and the test results submitted to the local
agency prior to removal from the underground storage tank
at the end of the temporary closure report.
(4) Except for required venting, all fill and access locations and
piping shall be sealed using locking caps or concrete plugs.
(5) Power service shall be disconnected from all pumps
associated with the use of the underground storage tank
unless the power services some other equipment which is not
being closed, such as the impressed- current cathodic
protection system.
(b) The monitoring required pursuant to the permit may be modified by
the local agency during the temporary closure period. In making a
decision to modify monitoring requirements, the local agency shall
consider the need to maintain monitoring in order to detect
unauthorized releases that may have occurred during the time the
underground storage tank was used but that have not yet been
detected. In all cases, corrosion protection shall continue to be
operated.

(c) The underground storage tank shall be inspected by the owner or operator at least once
every three months to verify that the temporary closure measures are still in place. The
inspection shall include but is not limited to the following:
(1) Visual inspection of all locked caps and concrete plugs.
(2) If locking caps are used, at least one shall be removed to determine
if any liquids or other substances have been added to the
underground storage tank or if there has been a change in the
quantity or type of liquid added pursuant to subsection (a) (3) of this
section.
(d) At the end of a temporary closure period over 12 months, including any extension granted
by the local agency, the owner may reuse the underground storage tank only if the tank
meets the requirements of Article 3 for new underground storage tanks or is upgraded to
meet the requirements of Article 6.
(e) All new and existing underground storage tank systems which have been temporarily
closed must continue to comply with repair and record keeping requirements, release
reporting and investigation requirements, and release response and corrective action
requirements specified in this chapter and Chapter 6.7 of the Health and Safety Code.
Failure to comply with the requirements will immediately terminate the temporary closure status.
Upon termination of temporary closure, either through non - compliance or by expiration of the 12
month term, the tank(s) must either be integrity tested and re- permitted for operation or else
removed from the site under a valid permit for permanent closure.
If you have any questions regarding this temporary closure authorization, please call the Office of
the Environmental Services at (661)326 -3979.
Sincerely,
Howard Wines III,
Director of Fire Prevention
