of the inspection. Facility records provided are included in Attachment A. Photographs of UST system components are in Attachment B.
Tank Leak Detection Tank leak detection is conducted by a Gilbarco EMC monitoring system that conducts static tests of the UST. The EPA inspector was able to print out a history from the monitoring system. Most months had passing tests. Based on discussion with the Facility representatives, it seemed likely that the missing months were due to low fuel. The ATG system passed an annual inspection on May 14, 2025.
Piping Leak Detection Piping is European safe suction design; therefore, no release detection is required.
Cathodic Protection The UST is constructed of a cathodically-protected steel. EPA records indicated a passing cathodic protection test was performed on June 17, 2021. The Facility provided a passing test dated November 8, 2023.
Periodic Testing/Inspection of Spill and Overfill Prevention Equipment The spill bucket was replaced and passed testing on July 15, 2024. The overfill prevention device (flapper valve) was inspected/tested and passed on May 9, 2024.
Periodic O&M Walkthrough Inspections A record of the monthly walkthrough inspection was only provided for the previous month. An annual walkthrough was performed by a contracted qualified service provider on May 14, 2025.
Operator Training Certificates for the Class A and B operator were present during the inspection. The Facility representatives indicated that the Class A/B operator is also the Class C operator at this Facility.
Financial Responsibility Records for private insurance coverage for the UST were provided.
Physical Observations The EPA inspectors viewed the spill bucket, fill port and dispenser. The ATG console was operational and the overfill alarm sounded near the tank field.
Conclusion At the end of the inspection, Ms. Person filled out an Onsite Deficiency Identification Form (see Attachment C), which represents the EPA staff's initial compliance recommendations at the time of the inspection. Ms. Person provided the onsite deficiency form to the operator and retained the carbon copy for recordkeeping. Prior to departing the Facility, Ms. Person stated that a full inspection report would be forthcoming, which includes the inspection checklist (see Attachment D). On July 22, 2025,
