DATE: APRIL 07, 2009 BACKGROUND: At the City's Corporate Yard, fuel depot underground storage tanks (UST) were installed in 1989. There were a total of five (5) tanks onsite with the following capacities: 12,000 gallons gasoline, 8,000 gallons diesel, 550 gallons oil, 550 gallons hydraulic, and 550 gallons used oil. In conjunction with new regulatory requirements established by the State Water Resources Control Board the City was notified that the Corporate Yard USTs are within 1000 feet of a fresh water drinking well and are subject to annual Enhanced Leak Detection Inspection.

The above ground storage tanks have the capacity to hold 8000 gallons of gasoline and 4000 gallons of diesel; installation of these tanks were completed in October 2008.
