Summary

Zenith Energy Cleveland Terminal (Zenith) owns and operates a bulk petroleum storage terminal in Cleveland, Ohjo. Though there are a number of storage tanks at the site, Zenith owns thiree internal floating roof gasoline storage tanks (Tanks 120, 121, and 122) that are subject to the New Source Performance Standards for Storage Vessels for Petroleum Liquids for wnich Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification Commenced after July 23, 1984 (NSPS Subpart Kb). .Among other requirements, NSPS Subpart Kb requires owners and operators of storage vessels with petroleum liquids with an internal floating roof that were constructed, reconstructed, or modified after July 23, 1984 to form a continuous seal between the roof and the wall of the tank. During an on-site inspection on August 29, 2018, EPA discovered excess emissions escaping from the three storage tanks with the most from Tank 120. Further inspection by Zenith revealed that Tank 120 had a missing seal around a portion of the intemal floating roof in violation of NSPS Subpart Kb requirements. This CAFO assesses a penalty of $20,000 based on cooperation and Zenith's agreement to improve their floating roof checklist.
