DURING AN OCTOBER 2011 COMPLIANCE INSPECTION AT THE FACILITY, THE EPA INSPECTOR FOUND THAT THE FACILITY HAD TWO USTS, ONE HOLDING 6,000 GALLONS OF DIESEL FUEL AND THE OTHER HOLDING 2,000 OF GASOLINE. DURING THE INSPECTION, THE INSPECTOR DETERMINED THAT THE FACILITY DID NOT HAVE RELEASE DETECTION TEST RECORDS FOR THE TWO USTS.
