Storage Tank #3 Is A Horizontal Mounted, Aboveground, Single-Walled Tank That Is 15,000-Gallon In Capacity (See Photo 1). The Storage Tank Is Labeled "Used Oil" And "Speedy Oil"; And The Piping Is Labeled "Speedy Oil" (See Photo 2). The Tank Is Situated Within A Concrete Block Secondary Containment Structure. It Was Noted That The Tank Is Not Equipped With A Gauge To Visually Determine The Tank Volume.
Bermed Visqueen Is Maintained Outside The Containment Structure Where Trucks Park To Off/On-Load Used Oil (See Photo 3). What Appeared To Be Petroleum Staining Was Evident Outside The Containment Wall Directly Beneath The Fill/Drain Port For Tank #3. Similar Staining Was Also Evident On The Plywood Situated On The Visqueen. It Was Discussed That At Some Point, The Bermed Visqueen May Accumulate Rain And The Oily Water Will Need To Be Properly Managed And Disposed. It Was Also Discussed That All Trucks Should Be Properly Maintained To Prevent Oil Drips; And Any Spills Or Releases Occurring From Off/On-Loading Used Oil Outside Of The Secondary Containment Area Should Be Addressed Immediately.
It Was Observed That The Piping Associated With Tanks 1,2, And 4 Have A Designated Fill Port And Drain Port; However, Tank 3 Has One Port (See Photo 4). It Was Also Observed That The Fill/Drain Ports Associated With Tanks 1,2,4 Were Within The Secondary Containment Structure; However, The Port Associated With Tank 3 Extended Outside The Containment Structure. Directly Beneath The Ports Is A Grated Containment Tray And Metal Cover (See Photo 5). The Tray Is Situated Within The Tank Containment Structure. According To Mr. Mccaig, The Cover Is Moved When Off/On-Loading Used Oil To Collect Any Incidental Drips, Spills, Etc. In The Tray. Used Oil Is Pumped Out Of The Tray By Ues As Needed Into A 250-Gallon Closed/Labeled Storage Tote Situated Within The Tank Containment Structure.
*Subsequent To The Inspection, Eoc Provided Information That The Containment Tray Was Retro-Fitted To Contain All Drips, Etc. From All The Valves/Ports (See Photo 16).
Cracks Were Noted In The Floor And Walls Of The Storage Tank Containment Structure (See Photos 8 - 11). It Appeared That The Sealant Had Worn Off The Flo |
