Summary

During the May 10, 2018 inspection of the Albany facility, the piping leak sensor in the tanktop sump of the facility's 1,000-gallon motor oil UST was lying on its side. This violation was corrected. During the February 28, 2018 inspection of the Bellmawr facility, the Respondent provided the latest 3-year CP test, conducted in May 2015, of the sacrificial anodes protecting the Bellmawr facility's two 10,000-gallon fuel USTs, which included no remote readings and no diagram of testing locations as required by the Respondent's April 23, 2018 response to EPA's March 12, 2018 issuance of its inspection report, Steel Tank Institute (STI). In the Respondent's response, a diagram showing the field testing locations obtained from their vendor who conducted the May 2015 CP survey, was attached. However, the remote locations in the diagram are parallel to the line of the tanks, not perpendicular, as required by STI to assess the cathodic protection afforded to the bottom of the tanks. In addition, the vendor provided no remote readings.
