B akersfield,CA_~ 9_3308 KS FABRICATION AND MACHINE, 6000 DISTRICT BLVD., BAKERSFIELD, KERN COUNTY We recently received a referral from a City of Bakersfield Certified Unified Program Agency inspector regarding an aboveground petroleum storage tank at the KS Fabrication and Machine facility. A 27 June 2000. telephone conversation with Mr. Mark Horton and a member of our 'staff confirmed the presence of at least one 1,000-gallon aboveground diesel tank. Major Provisions of the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (Health andSafety Code, §25270), a state law effective 1 January 1990, require the owner or operator of an aboveground petroleum tank facility with a single tank capacity greater than 660 gallons or with a cumulative storage capacity greater than 1,320 gallons to do the following: 1. File a storage statement and submit an appropriate fee on or before 1 July 1990 and on or before 1 July every two years thereafter. 2. - Prepare and implement a Spill Prevention Control. and Countermeasure .(SP_CC) plan, except farms, nurseries, logging sites, or construction sites. 3. Establish a monitoring program for the tank(s) if the appropriate Regional Water Quality Control Board, upon inspection, has determined that discharge from the aboveground tank facility will affect waters of the state or sensitive ecosystems. A storage statement form and information about the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act are enclosed. BY 31 July 2000, please submit documentation to our Fresno Branch Office that you have submitted your storage statement and fee to the State Water Resources Control Board in Sacramento. By 29 September 2000, please submit a copy of the SPCC plan that will be maintained and implemented at your facility. The SPCC plan needs to be prepared in accordance with Part 112 of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations. California Environmental Protection Agency Recycled Paper Mr. Kevin Small - 2 - 27 June 2000 Guidance for the preparation of a SPCC plan, as developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is enclosed to assist you.
