City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council accept the work performed by JEM Industries, Inc. (JEM)
and authorize filing a Notice of Completion for the Underground Storage Tank (UST)
Replacement Project at Fire Station No. 2 (P-871).
BACKGROUND:
Fire Station No. 2 is one of four (4) fuel dispensing sites owned and operated by the City.
Over the past several years, Federal, State and regional mandates to protect underground
water sources and ensure environmental compliance for non-contamination have become
increasingly more stringent, requiring upgrades and significant modifications to current fuel
dispensing components and equipment.
Beginning in April 2004, staff from the Fire Department, Transportation Department, and
Public Works Department held ongoing review of these requirements and the UST status at
all City fuel sites. In order to most effectively support the fueling needs of the Fire
Department while recognizing the increased costs to maintain these tanks underground, it
was determined that both USTs at Fire Station No. 2 should be removed, thus, modifying
the fueling operation to one (1) above ground storage tank for diesel fuel, which will provide
fueling capability while also serving to fuel the Fire Station’s emergency backup generator.
DISCUSSION:
The project involved the removal of both the 2,000 gallon gasoline UST and the 4,000 gallon
diesel UST, and replacing them with one (1) new 2,500 gallon above ground storage tank
(AST) for diesel fuel on a newly constructed concrete pad. The new AST is smaller in
capacity than the previous UST due to low fuel usage at this site. The AST has fuel
dispensing capability and all tank monitoring systems, alarms and components to meet
State Water Board, California Air Resources Board (CARB) and South Coast Air Quality
