[Board] PYC DES ISSUES

[Dan Gingras]

All,

    Attached is Jerry's update on the status of the DES situation.    It
seems that it is under control although I think we need to verify all the
items to insure the club has been protected.

Let me put all minds at ease.

I have been in touch with Spruce Wheelock and Suzanne Connelly, both of
NHDES ever since the 10/23 inspection at the PYC.

All deficiencies have been addressed and corrected.

1) I requested and received a copy of our operating permit and its posted on
the wall next to the alarm panel.

2) I am attending an all day training class in Concord on 11/18 in order to
be re certified  as the A and B Operator of the PYC underground storage
tanks.

3)  The fuel fills in the parking lot had water in their overflow area.
These spill containment areas worked as they are supposed to and I have
drained and wiped them clean to the satisfaction of Mr. Wheelock.

4) Any and all water that collected in the fuel sumps have been drained by
me and our service provider, DirtWorks.  A red light on the panel turned
back to green upon cleaning of same. Dirtworks sent their invoice to me
indicating their draining of said interstitial space which I forwarded to
Spruce to show that it had been done.

5)  Our very old fuel dispenser was indicated as deficient due to "the test
connector being above the shear plane of the crash valve ". If our dispenser
was at a local gas station and was struck by a car there would be an issue.
The same doesn't seem to apply to its location on the PYC fuel dock. Dave
Drapeau of Dirtworks said this issue will be addressed in the Spring as we
are now closed. I am waiting to hear from DES tomorrow to see if this is
satisfactory. Dave believes that it is. I will advise you.

6) The Visual Monthly Inspection Reports that I fill out as the facility
operator were in my office. Spruce asked me to bring them with me to the
11/18 training.


* Dan, I won't be able to attend the board meeting as I have another
engagement. I will send you another email before then when I hear from
Spruce Wheelock tomorrow.

On an additional note, our fuel hoses and reels need to be replaced before
the 2016 season. I will research from where they can be purchased at the
lowest price. Approximate cost is $2000


To summarize, our permit to operate is up to date and on the wall. All
deficiencies have been addressed and save for one, have been corrected.

Jerry
