During The Facility Tour, The Inspector Inquired As To The Content Of The Four 12,000 Gallon Tanks Because The Tanks Had The Osha Diamonds On Them But Only One Was Labeled "Used Oil", The Other Three Were Not Labeled. The Facility Representative Indicated That The Tanks Actually Contained Non-Spent Off-Spec Fuel From Flushing A Stationary Pipeline That Carries Both Diesel And Jet Fuel At Different Times. This Is An Operation That Is Exclusive To This Cbi Facility.
Record Review
The Inspector Recognized That When The Facility Changed Their Recordkeeping Procedures They No Longer Where Noting Whether Security Features, Emergency Response Equipment, And Decontamination Equipment Were Fully Functionally And Fully Stocked. Although This Was Not A Requirement At This Particular Facility, The Inspector Suggested That It Was Certainly Something That Should Be Addressed On A Regular Basis. All Of The Facility'S Other Records Were Found To Be In Order: The Contingency Plan, Training Records, Manifests, And The Facility'S Acceptance And Delivery Logs Met All Requirements And Were Well Organized
