Sorry I did not get this out sooner but I was off on <br /> Friday. <br /> Thanks <br /> James <br /> Forwarded message <br /> From: French, David (DPS) <david.french@state.mn.us> <br /> Date: Thu, May 17, 2012 at 11:19 AM <br /> Subject: RE: Marina Fueling <br /> To: James Van Eyll <jvaneyll@longlakemn.gov> <br /> Chief, <br /> I apologize for the delay in getting back to you on this. I was busy completing a plan review for a project late last week <br /> and have been in and out of the office the last two days. <br /> Anyways in regards to the items you submitted for this proposal there were a few items I noted that I think should be <br /> modified or better explained due to the scope of what they are doing. I've described each of these items below. <br /> 1.) The first item on page 2 of the permit restrictions document discusses the requirement that the tank truck have a <br /> fuel limit switch that limits a single fueling operation to 500 gallons before the switch needs to be reset. I presume that <br /> this requirement was derived from MSFC Section 3406.5.4.5 as it matches the language exactly. Given the nature of this <br /> operation I believe it would be reasonable to have the limit lowered from 500 gallons to an amount that would be more <br /> likely found with the type of boats that will be fueled.This will require more resets by the operators but will limit the <br /> amount of fuel spilled in the event some type of incident occurs near the point or transfer or elsewhere in the process. <br /> 2.) On page 5 of the spill containment plan,the total capacity of the tank vehicle is listed at 2100 gallons.On the next <br /> page, it lists the capacity for a complete failure or partial failure of the tank at 600 gallons. In looking over the photos it <br /> appears that the largest partitioned portion in the tank is 600 gallons but I disagree that this would represent the <br /> quantity lost in a complete or partial tank failure (it could be anywhere from 0 to 2100 gallons).This should be revised <br /> and may require them to ensure they have adequate capacity of spill containment equipment on hand. <br /> 1 <br />
