ABOVEGROUND PETROLEUM STORAGE ACT (APSA) PROGRAM GRANT APPLICATION Use of a consultant was considered, but overtime rates are significantly less than consulting rates and staff is willing and able to put in overtime hours. In addition, better customer service will be provided if each facility's normal inspector addresses the AST issues and if the AST inspection is coordinated with the facilities' routine inspections. As part of the CUPA's staffing plan and adoption of the single fee for the APSA Program, the adequacy of proposed staffing resources will include an analysis of: 1. The number and type of regulated tank facilities within the jurisdiction; 2. An estimate of the annual number of compliance and complaint inspections, considering cost of the following activities: (i) Inspections and the related travel, research, analysis of findings, and documentation; (ii) Inspection and enforcement activities including warnings, notices, meetings, hearings, legal proceedings, and documentation; (iii) Permit activities including application reviews, modifications and revisions, and facility evaluations; (iv) Training including field, meetings, seminars, workshops, courses and literature reviews; and (v) Management including day-to-day operation scheduling and supervision. Once a solid funding mechanism is available (after January 1, 2010), the CUPA will initiate the process of hiring permanent APSA Program staff, if necessary. IV. Identification of Reclulatorv Universe The Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department CUPA will use the AST Tank Facility list provided by Cal/EPA as the starting point for the identification of the regulated tank facilities in Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department.

The list will then be segregated based on the following categories: 1. Exempted tank facilities with total tank storage capacity of less than 20,000 gallons 2. Tank facilities w/ storage capacity >_1,320 and <10,000 gallons 3. Tank facilities w/ storage capacity ?10,000 and <100,000 gallons 4.
