4 Federal Reserve Bank of New York CEI Report 2024
1. INTRODUCTION
The Region 2 office of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inspected this facility for a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) under Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) because of the statutory requirement to inspect underground storage tanks (USTs) every three years. EPA records indicate that the facility had not been inspected since October 2015 and thus, was due for another inspection. No violations or compliance issues were found at the October 2015 CEI.
Ron Lockwood and I arrived at the facility for an unannounced inspection at 10:28 am on July 23, 2024. We presented our EPA credentials to a security guard at the front gate who introduced us to John Anton, the lead watchman of the facility and a Class A/B operator. Upon entering the facility and going through a security check, we met with Bobbi Weigel, Project Manager with the contracting group "Real Estate" that manages the facility. Ron and I presented our EPA credentials to Mr. Anton and Ms. Weigel, and offered in- and out-briefings, as well as the opportunity to claim confidential business information.
A pre-inspection facility review of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) data-miner indicated that this facility had three 25,000-gallon No.3 medium diesel USTs. The USTs were installed in phases starting in October 2022 and are all double-walled fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP). An automatic tank gauge (ATG) was used for leak detection for the tanks. An overfill alarm was present and audible to delivery personnel during fuel delivery from a remote fuel point. A 5-gallon spill bucket was present as a spill prevention method in the secondary fill ports located at the tanks. The system used a pressurized system to transport diesel fuel from the USTs to the interior pump room. It was unclear whether this piping was newly installed with the new USTs in 2022 or was reused from the prior system. The pump room was to be monitored electronically for leaks, though it was listed as "pending install" as of February 2024. The pumps then transport the fuel to the 4th floor of the building where the generators were located.
Piping was an aboveground/underground combination and was made from fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). Piping was double walled with an automatic line leak detector and electronic interstitial monitoring. There was no dispenser for the system as it was used for emergency power generation.
2. FACILITY TOUR
FILL PORTS, SUMPS, AND OVERFILL ALARM SYSTEM
Ron and I were first led to the remote fill ports, which are located outside the facility in the southeast corner of the property facing Orchard Street (Photo #1). Mr. Anton informed us these were installed in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy due to the flooding in the area inhibiting emergency generator refilling capabilities. The remote fill ports are located within a metal
5 Federal Reserve Bank of New York CEI Report 2024
security box for security purposes. To the right of the fill ports is a secure metal box containing a terminal to check the fuel level statuses of the USTs (Photos #2 and 3). Directly across from the remote fuel ports, located on the wall of the facility, was a high-level alarm for the remote fuel ports (Photo #4). The high-level alarm was tested and was clearly audible from the fueling locations.
We then looked at the UST sumps for the three tanks, located around 250 feet northeast from the remote fill ports (Photo #5). The tanks, installed in phases starting around October 2022, are all fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), double-walled, and have electronic interstitial monitoring. Each tank has a max capacity of 25,000 gallons of medium No.3 diesel fuel. Each tank had a piping sump, a turbine sump, a manway sump, a sensor sump, and a fill port.
Tank 1 Tank 1, located furthest to the North, had a piping sump clear of any debris or water even after the day's heavy rainfall (Photo #6). The liquid sensor for the sump was located within a reasonable distance from the bottom to be able to detect leaks early (Photo #7). The pipes in these piping sumps are used for the tanks' connections to one another, as they were observed to be manifolded. The "Manway" sump, located directly next to it, was also dry and free from debris with its liquid sensor in an adequate position (Photo #8). The secondary fill port for tank 1 was next, and a flapper valve could be visually seen through the port with no significant debris or liquid present in the spill bucket (Photos #9 and 10). Next to this was a sensor sump with no observed concerns (Photo #11). Upon opening the turbine sump (Photo #12) there was a pungent smell of diesel vapors that was not present in the prior sumps, or the sumps looked at after. Mr. Anton explained these turbine sumps contained a diesel fuel filtration system. Besides the diesel vapor smell, the sump was observed in adequate condition, with no debris or water inside and the water sensor being properly positioned.
Tank 2 Tank 2, located around four feet to the right of tank 1, was observed to be in adequate order. The tank 2 piping sump was clear of any debris or water, and its liquid sensor was properly positioned (Photo #13 and 14). The "Manway" sump was also dry, free from debris, and had its liquid sensor in its proper position (Photo #15). The secondary fill port had the presence of some liquid in the spill bucket (Photo #16), but there was a rainfall event earlier in the day. The sensor sump next to the fill port had no observed concerns (Photo #17). The turbine sump for tank 2 was observed to be in adequate condition and lacked the strong smell of diesel tank 1's turbine sump had upon opening (Photo #18).
Tank 3 Tank 3 was located another three feet to the right of tank 2 and was not observed to have any concerns. Tank 3's piping sump was water and debris free while its liquid sensor was in the proper orientation and positioning (Photo #19 and 20). The manway sump was dry and free of debris as well, with its liquid sensor in an adequate position (Photo #21). Like tank 2, the secondary fill port for tank 3 had the presence of some liquid in its spill bucket. However, unlike tank 2, this liquid was observed to have a visible oily film on the surface (Photos #22 and 23).
6 Federal Reserve Bank of New York CEI Report 2024
The sensor sump for tank 3 was also observed to be in adequate condition (Photo #24). Tank 3's turbine sump had no water or debris observed and had no smell of diesel present as observed in tank 1's turbine sump (Photo #25).
PUMP AND AUTOMATIC TANK GAUGE (ATG) ROOM
Underground pipes from the three USTs are directed to this room, where they transition into exposed above ground pipes and converge with the pumps and there is a concrete basin to collect any leaks (Photo #26 and 27). Records indicate that electronic leak monitoring is planned for this room, but not installed as of February 2024. The ATG was observed to be a Veeder-Root TLS-450 Plus and was located perpendicular to the pumps on the wall (Photo #28). The ATG showed no error message and indicated that all systems were normal (Photo #29). Unclear whether interstitial monitoring was in use for piping.
3. RECORD REVIEW
At the time of the inspection, monthly walkthrough records were available for the months of December 23', January 24', February 24', March 24', and May 24' (Photo #30). The months of July 23', August 23', September 23', October 23', November 23', April 24', June 24', and July 24' were not present and the walkthrough records for these months that were transmitted on 8/03/2024 were not adequate. According to Mr. Anton, walkthrough inspections were doubled up in the month of May (one on 5/1/2024 and one on 5/23/2024) due to work being done on the tanks when contractors came to do inspections at the end of April. Monthly walkthrough inspections from Dec 23' through May 24' looked at overfill devices, pipe containment devices, release detection monitoring, spill buckets, and sump containment devices (Photos #30-34) but lacked detail into what specifically they were checking for. A record for an annual walkthrough inspection that was conducted on February 27th, 2024, was made available and no concerns were noted (Photo #35) but no annual walkthrough records were made available for the years of 2022 and 2023. Monthly walkthrough documents were provided via email on 8/03/2024 for the months of July 23', August 23', September 23', October 23', November 23', April 24', June 24', and July 24' but did not meet minimum requirements for walkthrough inspections. The inspection documents seemingly did not cover all topics required by statute.
For operator training, Mr. Anton and Ms. Weigel explained that the 24/7 operation of the facility necessitated training all operators as A/B operators. A list of all UST operators was present at the time of inspection (Photo #36) but it used internal language that made it unclear whether operators were trained and what level operator they were. This was brought up at our closing meeting, and, on 7/29/2024, Mr. Anton sent confirmation that a new list was made and posted in the Fire Command, Fuel Oil Pump Room, and the remote fill cabinet (Photo #37). Dated operator training certificates were made available for all the operators shown in the facility's A/B operator list (Photo #36).
NJ DEP Underground Storage Tank Systems Registration Certificate was approved on January 24th, 2024, and expires on December 31st, 2024 (Photo #38). For the facility's annual release

detection testing, an ATG test was conducted on March 4th, 2024, and found all three USTs in compliance (Photo #39). Line tightness tests were conducted for pipes connected to Tank 1 on 2/7/2023, Tank 2 partly on 2/7/2023 and partly on 3/29/2023, and Tank 3 partly on 2/7/2023 and partly on 4/7/2023, with all showing passing results. No records for pipe or tank interstitial monitoring were provided. Tank tightness testing was conducted for Tank 1 on 2/7/2023 and for Tanks 2 and 3 on 2/8/2023, with all tanks passing the tests. Hydrostatic testing of all three tanks' piping sumps, manway sumps, containment sumps, and fill buckets was conducted on a staggered schedule from 2/27/23 until 4/11/2023. Overfill protection testing of the overfill alarm was conducted on February 27th, 2024, and showed no concerns (Photo #40). All three tanks and their piping are FRP, so no corrosion protection is necessary.
4. REGULATORY CONCERNS
Based on observations made during the inspection and/or a review of records related to the inspection, the following regulatory concerns were identified under RCRA-I:
REGULATORY, STATUTORY OR PERMIT REFERENCE
FIELD OBSERVATION
In accordance with 40 CFR 280.41(b)(2)(i), underground piping that routinely contains petroleum under pressure installed or replaced after April 11, 2016, must be monitored for releases at least every 30 days in accordance with 280.43(g) (i.e., interstitial monitoring).
In accordance with 40 CFR 280.45(b), the results of any release detection sampling, testing, or monitoring must be maintained for at least one year (unless another time frame approved by implementing agency). Pursuant to 280.36 (a), to properly operate and maintain UST Systems, beginning October 13, 2018, owners or operators must conduct a walkthrough inspection that at a minimum, checks the following equipment as specified below: Spill Prevention Equipment: Every 30 days (unless deliveries at
intervals > 30 days then prior to each delivery) visually check for damage; remove liquid or debris; check for and remove obstructions in the fill pipe; check the fill cap to make sure it is securely on the fill pipe.
Release detection equipment: Every 30 days check to make sure the equipment is operating with no alarms or other unusual operating conditions present; and ensure records of release detection testing are reviewed and current.
Containment Sumps: Annually visually check for damage, leaks to the containment area, or releases to the environment; removes liquid (in contained sumps) or debris and, for double walled sumps with interstitial monitoring, check for a leak in the interstitial area.
No documentation was submitted that clearly stated what type of release detection is being used for the piping and the facility did not provide 30-day interstitial monitoring records for the underground piping. The facility did not provide 30-day interstitial monitoring records for the three tanks.
Monthly walkthrough records for the months of July 23', August 23', September 23', October 23', November 23', April 24', June 24', and July 24' were missing at time of inspection.
Walkthrough documents provided on 8/03/2024 for months of July 23', August 23', September 23', October 23', November 23', April 24', June 24', and July 24' do not meet minimum requirements for walkthrough inspections. Inspection documents did not cover all topics required.
Monthly walkthrough records provided for months of December 23', January 24', February 24', March 24', April 24', May 24', and June 24' consisted only of inspection logs and lacked minimum information on what
8 Federal Reserve Bank of New York CEI Report 2024
REGULATORY, STATUTORY OR PERMIT REFERENCE
FIELD OBSERVATION
In accordance with 40 CFR 280.36 (b), owners and operators must maintain records of the 30-day operation and maintenance walkthrough inspections for spill prevention and release detection equipment for one year. Records must include a list of each area checked, whether each area checked was acceptable or needed action taken, a description of actions taken to correct an issue, and delivery records if spill prevention equipment is checked less frequently than every 30 days due to infrequent deliveries.
was checked and what a "passing" grade meant.
5. SCREENING CONCERNS
No non-UST concerns were identified based on a screening for environmental, safety and health aspects via the U.S. EPA Region 2 Inspector's Multi-Media Checklist (see, Appendix E).
6. REQUESTED INFORMATION
Below are the documents and other relevant information that the EPA is requesting to complete this compliance evaluation. Once received, the information will be reviewed.
Records of the annual testing of the electronic and mechanical components of the release detection method for the Federal Reserve Bank's USTs for 2022 and 2023.
When the UST systems were built in 2022, was all new piping installed or was any of the existing piping re-used?
7. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSISTANCE
To increase the Federal community's understanding and compliance with applicable environmental requirements, EPA, along with other Federal agencies, sponsor Fed Center, the Federal government's home for comprehensive environmental stewardship and compliance assistance information for Federal facility managers and their agencies. Fed Center can be accessed via the worldwide web at https://www.fedcenter.gov/.

*Diesel particulate matter index is from the EPA's Air Toxics Data Update, which is the Agency's ongoing, comprehensive evaluation of air toxics in the United States. This effort aims to prioritize air toxics, emission sources, and locations of interest for further study. It is important to remember that the air toxics data presented here provide broad estimates of health risks over geographic areas of the country, not definitive risks to specific individuals or locations. More information on the Air Toxics Data Update can be found at: https://www.epa.gov/haps/air-toxics-data-update.
