Section 61-6B-6 - Inspection, Maintenance and Record Keeping Requirements

6.1. The operator of the storage facility shall inspect the facility frequently enough to minimize the risk of discharge but not less than once a week during operational periods and not less than once a month during non-operational periods. The operator shall make a written record of the inspection made on the day of that inspection. All written records shall be maintained as follows:

6.1.1. a weekly record of the condition of valves for storage containers for fluid fertilizers when the containers are used for storage;

6.1.2. a weekly record of the condition of loading and unloading pads and catch basins during operational periods, or at least monthly during periods of non-use;

6.1.3. a monthly record of the fluid fertilizer levels in each storage container when in use and a comparison of the measured level versus the calculated level based on shipments in and out of the container;

6.1.4. a monthly record of the condition of primary containers and elephant rings;

6.1.5. a semi-annual inventory reconciliation, showing the amount of fluid bulk fertilizer and dry bulk fertilizer from each storage container which is lost or unaccounted for at the end of each semi-annual period; and

6.1.6. other inspection records pertaining to the condition of storage containers, appurtenances, operational area containment, and secondary containment facilities.

6.2. The operator shall take immediate action when inspections determine non-compliance with these rules, or that a greater than minimal risk of a discharge exists. The operator shall create and maintain a written record of any maintenance the same day the maintenance is performed.

6.3. The operator of a storage facility shall maintain the records required by this rule for a minimum of five (5) years at each storage facility or at the nearest local office administering the storage facility. All records required by this rule shall be produced to the commissioner within twenty-four (24) hours of any request.
