SLUDGE/SEPTAGE FACILITY - FUEL STORAGE SYSTEM <br />�I <br />The Board reviewed memo from Utility Services Director Terry <br />Pinto dated August 21, 1992: <br />DATE: <br />AUGUST 21, 1992 <br />TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO <br />DIRECTOR OF UTIL SERVICES <br />STAFFED AND <br />PREPARED BY: H. D. "DUKE" OSTER, P. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: SLUDGE/SEPTAGE FACILITY <br />FUEL STORAGE SYSTEM <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The fuel storage system for emergency power at the Sludge/Septage <br />Facility is an above -ground system. During the design phase, Camp <br />Dresser & McKee Inc. (CDM) contacted Mr. Charles Vogt, III at the <br />HRS/Indian River County Public Health Unit for direction as to what <br />above -ground fuel storage system would best meet local and state <br />regulations. <br />In May of 1991, CDM sent a copy of the fuel storage system design to <br />Mr. Vogt for his review and comment. Mr. Vogt responded with a <br />letter containing five comments, which were incorporated into the <br />design. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />At a meeting with HRS on August 13, 1992, we were informed that the <br />regulations had changed in April of 1992, and the fuel storage <br />system as designed would require that rainwater collected in the <br />containment sump would need to be monitored for compliance with <br />state and federal regulations prior to discharge. This is in <br />accordance with Florida Department of Environmental Regulation <br />17-762 of the Florida Administrative Code for Above -ground Storage <br />Tank Systems. An enclosed fuel storage system would eliminate the <br />need for monitoring. A containment system for this project would <br />cost approximately $6,000.00 for the containment structure delivered <br />to the site at the Gifford Wastewater Treatment Plant and installed <br />on the slab provided by our prime contractor, Poole & Kent. The <br />contractor needs to be informed which fuel containment structure he <br />should construct as soon as possible to avoid delays and associated <br />costs (see attached letter from CDM). <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Because of the cost of sampling following every rainfall, as well as <br />potential changes in state or federal stormwater discharge <br />regulations in the future, the staff of the Department of Utility <br />Services recommends that the contractor be directed to construct the <br />enclosed fuel containment system at an estimated cost of $6,000.00. <br />51 <br />BOOK 87 PAGE 456 <br />-1199, <br />J <br />
