GENERAL FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The Inland Bridgeport Fuel Terminal facility (the Inland Fuel Terminal or "Facility") located in Bridgeport, Connecticut (CT) serves as an oil distribution terminal for the loading and unloading of #2 fuel oil, diesel, and kerosene for retail delivery. The Inland Fuel Terminal is bordered to the southeast by the Eastern Branch of Cedar Creek, to the northwest by Harbor Street, and to the north by Santa Fleet Services Gas Station. The office and the storage/maintenance portions of the facility are separated by Admiral Street. The facility is comprised of an office building, a vehicle garage building, a parking lot for fuel transfer vehicles, and seven above-ground storage tanks (ASTs). The Facility receives products via company tanker trucks, where material is unloaded into the bulk storage tanks, or via barges. Barges access the facility through Cedar Creek in the north portion of Black Rock Harbor in Long Island Sound. The barge loading dock can accommodate one vessel at a time at a maximum capacity of 35,000 barrels (approx. 1,500,000 gallons).
According to Facility representatives, Santa Energy started business in 1940 and the Inland Fuel Terminal site in Bridgeport has been operating since 1959. The Facility employs approximately 180 full-time employees, including a Facility Terminal Manager, truck drivers, office personnel, and various operations and maintenance personnel. The Facility operates 6 days a week for 9 hours per day from May to October, and seven days a week for 11 hours per day from November to April. There are two unions represented by employees at the Facility for truck drivers (Operating Engineers Local 478) and service members (Pipefitters 777).
The Facility is located in a primarily commercial and industrial area of Bridgeport, CT. There are residential areas to the east of the facility within 1,000 feet and Seaside Park is approximately 1,500 feet to the Southeast. The Connecticut Turnpike (I-95) runs east-west directly to the north of the facility. The Facility property is partially enclosed by fencing on the north, east, and south sides of the building, while the fence on the west side abuts the maintenance storage house and vehicle maintenance building. According to Facility personnel, there are multiple security cameras located around the Facility exterior and entry is limited to the Facility with keys fobs.
According to the Facility's RMP submitted on June 24, 2020, the Facility stores 108,915 pounds (lbs.) of Propane onsite.

PHYSICAL INSPECTION
The EPA inspection team conducted a walk around of the following areas at the Inland Fuel Terminal:
1. Propane and Methanol Transfer Station 2. 30,000 Gallon Propane Tank Area 3. Maintenance House 4. Vehicle Shop 5. Petroleum Barge Transfer Dock and Dock House 6. Petroleum Tank Farm
3
7. Petroleum Vehicle Loading Rack Site
Inspector Wallace took a total of 92 digital photographs during the one-day inspection to provide reference documentation of conditions observed. The photographs are referenced throughout the document.
Propane and Methanol Transfer Station The EPA inspection team toured the Propane and Methanol Transfer Station on the north side of the facility. On the same lot as the Santa Fleet Services Gas Station, the inspection team observed a small methanol tank and transfer equipment as well as a vehicle transfer pump for propane that connects directly to the 30,000-gallon propane tank. The EPA inspectors identified the following areas of concern based on the tour of the area:
A lot across Cedar Creek was owned by the facility and used for storage of empty tanks and equipment (see Photograph P1120064). The Inspection Team did not tour this area owned by the Facility.
The windsock at the north end of the property was less than three meters above the neighboring tank (see Photograph P1120063). Windsocks were not visible from all egress locations on-site.
The methanol tank at the transfer station was not double-walled and lacked proper secondary containment. Additionally, this tank was not anchored to the ground (see Photographs P1120066 and P1120063).
The methanol tank had flexible piping which could rupture if snow packing is pushed past the bollards and impacts the tank piping.
The propane fill station did not contain proper bonding and grounding connections (see Photographs P1120067 and P1120069).
Bollards are placed too close to the propane tank enabling vehicles to be parked within 10 feet of the tank (see Photograph P1120065).
Valve connections on the propane and methanol transfer stations were not locked out to prevent tampering (see Photograph P1120065).
The propane vapor lines did not contain a check valve (see Photograph P1120065).
30,000-Gallon Propane Tank Area The EPA inspection team entered the fenced area around the 30,000-gallon Propane Tank from the northeast gate. Within this area was the tank and associated piping and equipment, two Bobtail loading systems, and smaller propane and other chemical tank storage containers. EPA inspectors identified the following areas of concern based on the tour of the area:
Egress to the gate on the northeast corner of the fenced area is impeded by piping. Additionally, the gate lacked proper panic hardware (see Photograph P1120070).
Smaller propane and other chemical tanks were being improperly stored within the fenced area of the 30,000-gallon Propane tank (see Photographs P1120061, P1120073, P1120074, and P1120075)
Propane tanks stored within the fenced area were not properly labeled with the name of the stored chemical for immediate recognition of potential hazards (see Photographs P1120059 and P1120061).
4
No fire protection system or deluge cooling system was present covering the propane tanks or transfer areas.
Cages of chemicals within the fenced area were not properly labeled with contents and quantity (e.g., empty/full). Additionally, cages were not properly secured to the ground (see Photograph P1120073).
Piping within the fenced area was not properly labeled (see Photograph P1120071). An oil drum and a methanol drum stored within the fenced area were not within secondary
containment and were not provided proper grounding (see Photographs P1120073, P1120074, and P1120075). The propane exchange station on the south side of the fenced area did not contain proper quantity signage (see Photograph P1120076). Egress gates in the fenced area should be verified to be a minimum of 36 inches wide. Additionally, the egress gate to the southwest was not equipped with panic hardware. NFPA diamonds were not affixed to the entrance gates of the fenced area. Nitrogen tanks being stored at the foot of the 30,000-gallon propane tank were not provided appropriate separation distance from propane storage (see Photograph P1120079). Nitrogen tanks stored within the fenced area were not affixed with proper labeling (see Photograph P1120079). The saddle holding the 30,000-gallon propane tank, areas underneath the tank, and areas around the truck filling station were being used improperly for storage of parts (see Photographs P1120079, P1120080, and P1120085). The two buttons on the control panel required to perform an emergency shutoff for the 30,000gallon propane tank were not properly labeled (see Photograph P1120079 and P1120082). The bottom side of the tank between the tank and the saddle was not properly painted and exhibited signs of accelerated rusting (see Photograph P1120083). The Bobtail Loading stations were not equipped with adequate bonding (see Photographs P1120085 and P1120086). It appears that bolts and zip ties were not loosened or removed during painting of piping and there is evidence of accelerated rusting under the wood/rubber spacer (see Photographs P1120089 and P1120090). Maintenance House The Inspection Team toured the outside of the Maintenance House before entering the garage portion of the House. Equipment and chemicals were stored in front of the Maintenance House. EPA inspectors identified the following areas of concern based on the tour of the area:
A methanol intermediate bulk container (IBC) tote and 55-gallon drums were being stored outside of the Maintenance House both of which were not in secondary containment or provided with adequate bump protection to prevent impact from vehicles (see Photographs P1120091 and P1120097).
Other drums and chemicals were stored outside of the maintenance house that were not in secondary containment or provided with adequate bump protection to prevent impact from vehicles, including an unsecured propane tank (see Photographs P1120092 and P1120096).
A propane tank was identified to be attached to the maintenance house, and other chemicals and materials, including an oxygen tank were being stored in close proximity to the tank (see
5
Photographs P1120093 and P1120094). A secured 1-hour fire wall storage area was not provided for the oxygen tank. Improper storage of universal waste (batteries) was observed near the maintenance house and propane storage area (see Photograph P1120093). A propane tank cage was stored against the Maintenance House which does not allow for proper separation distance from the building. In addition, the propane tank cage was not affixed with appropriate quantity signage (see Photographs P1120095 and P1120096). The door to the Maintenance House does not provide adequate egress as the door opens inward and is not equipped with panic hardware (see Photographs P1120095 and P1120096). Chemical drums were stored in front of the maintenance house without proper secondary containment (see Photographs P1120096 and P1120097). Gas cans, propane tanks, and equipment with gasoline were improperly stored inside the maintenance storage shed (see Photographs P1120098, P1120099, and P1120102). Items were stored on the staircase in the maintenance storage shed, which could impede egress (see Photograph P1120098). Specifically, storage of wood in this area could create a fire hazard (see photograph P1120100).
Vehicle Shop The inspection team toured outside the roll up door to the southeast of the vehicle shop before entering. The inspection team observed an operator actively transferring propane between two vehicles. Directly to the left of the roll up door was a 10,000-gallon diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank within a shed. The vehicle shop is used to service and maintain the Santa Energy Vehicle Fleet. It contained automotive maintenance tooling, equipment such as vehicle lifts, and chemicals such as oils and cleaning chemicals. EPA inspectors identified the following areas of concern based on the tour of the area:
A liquid transfer operation between two trucks was being conducted outside of the vehicle maintenance garage on a non-impervious surface (see Photographs P1120104, P1120105, P1120106 and P1120107).
Drums were stored outside of the vehicle maintenance garage that were not in secondary containment and were not properly labeled (see Photographs 54 and 55).
A 10,000-gallon DEF tank was stored in a room next to the vehicle maintenance garage. The 10,000-gallon DEF tank was not affixed with proper labeling, including an NFPA diamond (see Photograph 56).
Hoses were stored in the DEF tank room but were not labeled with proper status of hose per the Facility's hose inspection program (see Photograph 56).
Secondary containment under a drum near the rear entrance of the vehicle maintenance garage appears to be leaking an oily fluid and was observed to contain unknown standing liquid (see Photographs 59 and 60).
Storage areas within the vehicle maintenance garage are cluttered and pose a trip hazard (see Photographs 61, 62, and 63).
Petroleum Barge Transfer Dock and Dock House The inspection team toured the Barge Transfer Dock and Dock House. Barges load and unload cargo using the transfer equipment that is controlled from the Dock House. This area is between Cedar Creek
6
and the Tank Farm. EPA inspectors identified the following areas of concern based on the tour of the area:
An out of service tank near the barge unloading area was not properly labeled on all access sides (see Photographs P1120122 and P1120128).
Piping on the barge unloading dock was not properly labeled (see s P1120123 and P1120124).
Petroleum Tank Farm From the barge transfer area, the inspection team crossed the concrete containment on fixed platforms to enter the Tank Farm. There are two areas of the Tank Farm separated by a concrete containment wall. The eastern area of the Tank Farm contains 6 tanks: Tank 1 (263,000-gallon #2 fuel oil), Tank 2 (empty 15,000-gallon), Tank 3 (185,000-gallon #2 fuel oil), Tank 4 (186,700-gallon #2 fuel oil), Tank 5 (326,700-gallon #2 fuel oil), and Tank 7 (70,000-gallon kerosene). In the west containment area, there is Tank 6 (956,000-gallon #2 fuel oil). EPA inspectors identified the following areas of concern based on the tour of the area:
The large tanks were not labeled with appropriate NFPA diamonds on all sides of approach to the tank farm (see Photographs P1120126, and P1120146).
Piping within the tank farm is not properly labeled (see Photographs P1120131, P1120132, P1120133, P1120134, and P1120135).
Petroleum Vehicle Loading Rack Site The inspection team toured the Vehicle loading area, where there is a covered loading rack, an office and storage shed, the containment boom compressor and storage area, additional tank storage, and a parking lot next to the Harbor Street exit. EPA inspectors identified the following areas of concern based on the tour of the area:
Propane tanks were stored near the tanker loading area that did not contain proper full/empty signage (see Photograph P1120139).
The air compressor for the boom did not provide proper signage for diesel fuel (see Photographs P1120139 and P1120140).
There were no indications of recent inspection and testing of the hose connecting the air compressor to the boom (see Photograph P1120141).
Drums were stored in the tanker loading area that were not on secondary containment (see Photographs P1120139 and P1120142).
Oil additive was stored on a tray on top of a grey storage box. Site representatives noted that this box stored life jackets and other safety equipment (see Photographs P1120143 and P1120144).
OUT-BRIEF/CLOSING CONFERENCE
Inspector Wallace scheduled and concluded the inspection with a virtual out-brief Microsoft Teams meeting with facility representatives on March 16, 2023 and discussed the preliminary areas of concern identified during the inspection.
The following areas of concern were identified during the out brief and sent to the Facility via e-mail on March 16:
7
A lot across Cedar Creek was owned by the facility and used for storage of empty tanks and equipment. It was questioned if proper signage was in place to indicate empty tanks as well as directing visitors to the main site/office (see photograph P1120064).
The windsock at the north end of the property was less than three meters above the neighboring tank. Windsocks were not visible from all egress locations on-site (see photograph P1120063).
Smaller propane and other chemical tanks were being improperly stored within the fenced area of the 30,000-gallon Propane tank (see photographs P1120061, P1120073, P1120074, and P1120075).
Though the propane storage tanks had proper NFPA diamonds and CAS number identification, tanks should be labeled with the name of the stored chemical for immediate recognition of potential hazards (see photographs P1120059 and P1120061).
No fire protection system or deluge cooling system was present covering the propane tanks or transfer areas.
A methanol tank was identified in the vicinity of the propane storage and fill station area that was not double walled and lacked proper secondary containment. Additionally, the tank was not anchored to the ground (see photographs P1120066 and 1120068).
The methanol tank had flexible piping which could rupture if snow packing were pushed beyond the bollards and impacted the tank piping.
The propane fill station did not contain proper bonding and grounding connections (see photographs P1120067 and P1120069).
The bollards do not protect against cars parking within 10 feet of propane tank (see photograph P1120065).
