FROM: Samuel Kevin Wilson, Director of Community Services & Water
DATE: December 17, 2009
SUBJECT: Conditional Use Permit — Lubricating Specialties Company located at 3365
Slauson Avenue
Lubricating Specialties Company (the "Applicant") has submitted an application to amend
their existing conditional use permit that was previously approved on March 17, 1992 for the property
located at 3365 Slauson Avenue in the Industrial 1-Zone of the city, in order to operate a petroleum
related facility (the "Project"). This conditional use permit limited the Applicant to the storage,
processing and transferring of only Class III liquids and other combustible products. They now wish
to store, blend and distribute Class I, II and III liquids, as defined in the California Fire Code, in their
existing tank farm (Tank Farm `B") located at 3365 Slauson Avenue. Tank Farm B is divided in two
sections; the east section is 7,925 sq. ft., and west section is 5,575 sq. ft. the Applicant proposes to
utilize four 50,000 gallon tanks and two 14,000 gallon tanks to store the Class I and Class II liquids on
the west sections of Tank Farm B.
The environmental analysis performed for the City of Vernon's issuance of the prior
conditional use permit indicated that the oils and greases that the Applicant processed were limited to
low to moderate fire hazards with flash points of the materials above 200°. The Applicant now
proposes to distribute liquids with much lower flash points. Thus, in order to allow the storage of
these liquids, the Applicant's Conditional Use Permit must be amended. Therefore, the Applicant is
requesting an amendment to their existing conditional use permit to allow them to store Class I and
Class II liquids at the subject site.
The project is categorically exempt under Section 15301, Class 1, of the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQX ). A Notice of Exemption will be prepared and filed with the
County Clerk.
It is requested that you schedule a public hearing regarding this subject be held on January 4,
2010. Enclosed herewith is a Notice of Public Hearing. Please forward notice to the City Clerk to be
executed. My Department will ensure that the notice is published. Please do not hesitate to contact

RE: Conditional Use Permit — Lubricating Specialties Company located at
3365 Slauson Avenue
BACKGROUND
Lubricating Specialties Company (the "Applicant") has submitted an application to
amend their existing conditional use permit that was previously approved on March 17, 1992
for the property located at 3365 Slauson Avenue in the Industrial I -Zone of the city, in order
to operate a petroleum related facility (the "Project"). This conditional use permit limited the
Applicant to the storage, processing and transferring of only Class III liquids and other
combustible products. They now wish to store, blend and distribute Class I, II and III liquids,
as defined in the California Fire Code, in their existing tank farm (Tank Farm "B") located at
3365 Slauson Avenue. Tank Farm B is divided in two sections; the east section is 7,925 sq.

and two 14,000 gallon tanks to store the Class I and Class II liquids on the west sections of
Tank Farm B.
The environmental analysis performed for the City of Vernon's issuance of the prior
conditional use permit indicated that the oils and greases that the Applicant processed were
limited to low to moderate fire hazards with flash points of the materials above 200°. The
Applicant now proposes to distribute liquids with much lower flash points. Thus, in order to
allow the storage of these liquids, the Applicant's Conditional Use Permit must be amended.
Therefore, the Applicant is requesting an amendment to their existing conditional use permit
to allow them to store Class I and Class II liquids at the subject site.
1_1
DEC 2 2 2009
THE PROJECT
The Applicant is a manufacturer of lubricating oils and greases which consist of
Automotive Engine Oils, Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oils, Transmission Fluids, Gear
Lubricants, Aviation Engine Oils, Hydraulic and Turbine Oils, Industrial Oils, etc. the
Applicant receives most of its product by common carrier via tanker trucks or rail cars, which
is then loaded into one of their above -ground tanks located on their tank farms. The existing
facility has been in operation since 1989.
As previously mentioned the Applicant is seeking permission to store and distribute of
Class I and Class II liquids. The product would come in on rail tanker -cars and will be
directly off-loaded into pre -determined tanks by the Applicant trained employees. The
product, at a later time, is then pumped from the holding tanks to trucks, which is then
delivered to its scheduled destination. All of the unloading and loading will be preformed by
one of the Applicant employees. The facility's hours of operation will be from 7:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. with extended hours up to 11:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and as needed on
weekends. Personnel will be onsite 24-hours a day to ensure the site remains secure.
The Applicant intends to utilize seven tanks located in Tank Farm "B", for storage of
the following materials:
• Butyl Acetate — tank #77 (50,000 gallons — Class I B Flammable)
• Ethyl Acetate — tank #78 (50,000 gallons — Class I B Flammable)
• Glacial Acetic Acid — tank 479 (50,000 gallons— Class II Flammable)
• NPG 90 — tank #83 (40,000 gallons— Class III B Combustible)
• Propanol Alcohol — tank #84 (14,000 gallons — Class I B Flammable)
• Propanol Alcohol — tank #87 (14,000 gallons — Class I B Flammable)
• Propyl Acetate — tank #86 (50,000 gallons — Class I B Flammable)
The proposed site currently has one driveway that fronts Slauson Avenue located on
the south side of the building, which provides vehicle ingress and egress from Slauson
Avenue. The streets and highways surrounding the proposed site are adequate in width and
are improved as necessary to carry the traffic expected by this proposed operation. The
subject site is served by Slauson Avenue, an arterial roadway with a right-of-way of 90 feet.
The Applicant is also in the process of obtaining a lease from Department of Water and Power
(DWP) for the installation of a secondary fire access road that will provide access to the rear
of the property from Slauson Avenue. The fire access road will be a minimum of 27 feet in
width and will be paved with either concrete or asphalt concrete.

ZONING AND GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The Project site is located in the (I) Zone, Industrial, and is designated "industrial"
by the City of Vernon General Plan. The proposed Project would be consistent with all
applicable regulations of the City of Vernon Code upon amendment of the Conditional Use
Permit. In accordance with section 26.4.1-3 (e) of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance,
the Applicant is categorized as a "petroleum -related use and/or uses primarily engaged in
the storage of petroleum products". A petroleum storage facility is defined as an
establishment including a tank farm for keeping and storing gasoline, kerosene, distillate
fuel oils, residual fuel oils, lubricants, and other petroleum products, but not including
storage ancillary to an industrial use such as fuel on the premises or storage as part of a
hazardous waste treatment facility. A petroleum storage facility use is an allowed use in the
(I) -Zone with the approval of a conditional use permit.
The proposed Project would be consistent with the City of Vernon General Plan as
the general plan designation would remain unchanged and the amendment to the
conditional use permit would be consistent with the policies and goals of encouraging
industrial uses in the City.
PROJECT SITE
The proposed site contains an existing building of approximately 55,634 square feet on
a 4.19 acre lot and is surrounded by industrial, retail, and warehousing uses compatible with
the proposed use. The site also contains two existing tank farms, Tank Farm "A"
approximately 12,540 square feet, and Tank Farm `B" approximately 13,500 square feet in
size. The site is adequate in size, shape, and topography for the proposed use. The applicant
has not proposed any changes to the size, shape or topography of the existing site.
In addition, the proposed Project site is supported by a 58 stall surface parking lot, 3
truck parking stalls, and 6 truck loading stalls. The parking proposed will provide adequate
on -site parking and loading facilities for the proposed operation as Vernon Zoning Code
Section 26.5.1-6 requires 56 parking spaces, 3 truck parking spaces, and 6 truck loading
spaces based on the gross floor area of the building on -site. Therefore, it is anticipated that all
parking activities will be maintained on -site within the premises and adequate parking and
loading will be supplied on -site.
CONSISTENCY WITH CITY OF VERNON FIRE REGULATIONS
The proposed storage tanks and associated piping/equipment will be required to be
designed to meet all applicable codes, including Chapter 7 of the City of Vernon Code
containing the City's Fire Regulations, the 2007 California Fire Code, 2007 California
Building Code and the 2007 National Electrical Code as amended by the City of Vernon. The
-3-
tanks are constructed of low -carbon steel and will have an integral secondary wall
containment system for maximum safety.
The Fire Code as amended by the City of Vernon limits the size of tank utilized for the
storage of Class I and Class II flammable liquids to 10,000 gallons. The Applicant has
requested to utilize six tanks in excess of 10,000 gallons for Class I and Class II liquid
storage. The Applicant retained the services of a fire protection engineer to determine an
alternative means and method to permit the Applicant to store in tanks in excess of 10,000
gallons. -
Pursuant to Appendix 1 of the Fire Code Section 104.8, whenever there are practical
difficulties involved in carrying out the provisions of this Code, the City's fire code official
has the authority to grant modifications for individual cases so long as the City's fire code
official fmds that modifications are in compliance with the intent and purpose of the Code and
that the modifications do not lessen health, life, and fire safety requirements. The applicant
would have practical difficulties in meeting the 10,000 gallon tank size requirement due to the
fact that there is insufficient space within the tank farm to maintain the current volume of
liquids utilizing smaller tanks.
Based on this practical difficulty, the City's fire official finds that the tanks in excess
of 10,000 gallons can be used at the Project site. Section 3404.2.9.1 of the Fire Code sets
forth the fire protection systems for aboveground tanks. Since the tanks used to store Class I
and Class II liquids have a surface liquid area of less then 1,500 square feet no fire protection
system is required. However, the City's fire code official is imposing the fire protection
engineer's recommendation that foam fire protection be installed in accordance with NFPA
11, a secondary fire access road be provided, and the facility be required to be manned 24-
hours a day to ensure that the tanks in excess of 10,000 gallons do not lessen health, life and
fire safety requirements and that the intent and purpose of the Code is met. This is because a
flammable liquid fire is essentially two dimensional, and is dependent on the surface area of
the fuel. The dike boundaries make this surface constant, so the dike area will determine the
size of the fire regardless of the amount of liquid stored beneath the surface. Therefore if a
10,000 gallon tank or 50,000 gallon were to leak the surface area of the product would be the
same. What is affected by the depth of the liquid is the duration of the fire. A foam fire
protection .is designed to place a blanket of foam over the entire surface area extinguishing the
fire. The Applicant has advised the city that the facility will be manned 24-hours a day
allowing for the protection system to be activated immediately upon a fire being detected.
The Applicant will also be providing a secondary fire access road to the site within the
LADWP right-of-way.
Additionally, the Fire Code Section 3406.5.1.1 requires that the unloading or loading
valve of the truck or railroad tanker must be a minimum of 25-feet from a tank storing a Class
I liquid. The existing distance between the tank and the unloading valve is only 15-feet which
-4-
is permissible for Class II and III liquids as also specified in Section 3406.5.1.1. Pursuant to
Fire Code Section 104.8, a fire protection engineer performed an analysis and determined that
a 9-foot high concrete or masonry wall having a 2-hour rating would provide protection that
would not lessen health, safety and fire requirements.
Lastly, Section 3404.2.9.5.2 of the California Fire Code requires tanks be separated
from each other in accordance with the values stated in NFPA 30, Table 4.3.2.2. L The intent
of this section is to maintain access for firefighters and provide a separation between tanks to
minimize the spread of fire. NFPA 30, Table 4.3.2.2.1 requires the tanks to be spaced at 1/6
the sum of the adjacent tank diameters, but not less then three feet. NFPA was contacted for
its interpretation on this code section. They stated that the meaning of the sum of tank
diameters was any two pair of tanks which are adjacent to each other not the sum of all of the
adjacent tanks. In the applicant's case all tanks exceed a minimum distance of 3-feet, but in
most cases are less then 4-feet. The worst case scenario is where a 15-foot diameter tank is
adjacent to a 9-foot diameter tank. In this condition the separation requirement would be 4-
feet. Therefore in the worse case scenario the applicants tanks would be non compliant by 1-
foot.
Pursuant to Section 111.2.4 and Appendix Chapterl, Section 104.8 of the California
Fire Code, modification, whenever there is practical difficulties involved in carryout the
provisions of the code, the City Fire Official has the authority to grant modification so long as
the Fire Code Official fords that modifications are in compliance with the intent of the code
and that the modifications do not lessen health, life, and fire safety requirements of the code.
In this case, there are practical difficulties in conforming with the code since we are dealing
with an existing tank farm that does not meet the spacing requirements.
The subject tanks are provided with a venting mechanism to keep the tank pressure
below 2.5 psig. They are not of floating or weaken roof type, which are a much greater
hazard. The tanks storing a Class I and II liquids will be located near the edge of the diked
area allowing easier accessibility. In addition the applicant will be providing three fixed fire
foam monitors mounted 50-feet high and capable of providing protection in the diked area.
This height will allow the monitors to penetrate deep into the storage tank area assuring foam
will be spread throughout the diked area. In addition LSC will be upgrading the electrical
protection to Class 1 Division 1 in accordance with Article 500 of the California Electrical
Code, to the top of the tank to reduce potential ignition sources. With these added protections
the health, safety and fire requirements will not be lessened.
Finally, the City's Director of Community Services and Fire Marshall have reviewed
the three proposed modifications from the requirements of the Fire Code and have found that
in their opinion the modifications will not lessen health, safety and fire requirements and the
intent and purpose of the Fire Code will be met.

CEOA DETERMINATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The existing facility does not produce any potentially significant impacts from noise,
odor, dust, smoke, light or glare from the project. The introduction of Class I and Class II
liquids is not anticipated to create any additional concerns and will only be a negligible
expansion of the applicant's existing use of storing Class III liquids on the project site. In
fact, the applicant is proposing to use existing tanks on the project site, and the only change
will be the addition of Class I and II liquids in addition to the already existing Class III liquids
on the project site. Therefore, the project is categorically exempt under Section 15301, Class
1, of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because the new proposed use is
only a negligible expansion of an existing use. A Notice of Exemption will be prepared and
filed with the County Clerk.
Although the project is exempt from CEQA, an air quality analysis was performed for
the project. It was determined through the analysis that the emissions from the operation will
be below the threshold of significance as establish by the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (AQMD).
Additionally, a traffic analysis was conducted and concluded that most of the vehicular
traffic from the existing facility will continue as before which includes employee
ingress/egress, trucks that deliver/pick-up product and supplies. Approximately five new
employees and 4 to 6 more truck trips per day will be added due to the new Class I and Class
II liquid storage operation. The number of truck trips for the purpose of ingress/egress
combined with existing traffic volumes will consist of 8 to 12 entering the premises during a
typical 18-hour period. The number of personal vehicle trips will consist of 3 8 to 42
employees spread over the normal and extended hours of operation. Vehicles traveling to the
site will generally exit the I-710 and travel southbound on Atlantic Boulevard to Slauson
Avenue then west to the site. Vehicles exiting the site will utilize the same streets in the
opposite direction. Based on the slight increase in the vehicular trips generated by proposed
use the level of service of the surrounding intersections will not be significantly impacted and
are below the thresholds established by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation
Authority.
STATE OR FEDERAL CONDITIONS
All Federal, State, and local regulatory permits shall be obtained as required for the
operation.
STAFF FINDING AND CONDITIONS
The amendment to the existing conditional use permit shall be granted based on the
following findings and conditions as required by Section 26.6.3-4 of the Vernon Zoning
Code:
-6-
a. The lot for the proposed use is adequate in size, shape, and topography for
the new Class I and Class II liquid storage.
b. The addition of the Class I and Class II liquids will not adversely affect the
interest of the public or the interests of other residents and property owners in the vicinity
of the Project. This is especially true as the City's Fire Officials have found the proposed
fire protection measures will adequately protect life, health and safety. Additionally no
environmental effects from this use are anticipated.
C. The addition of Class I and Class II liquids will be compatible with other
permitted uses of surrounding and adjacent properties in the Industrial Zone of the City as
the Applicant's proposed use is allowed in this zone with a conditional use permit.
d. The lot has adequate off-street parking and loading facilities for this
proposed use, as the Project site contains 58 stall surface parking, 3 truck parking stalls,
and 6 truck loading stalls. This meets the Vernon Zoning Code Section 26.5.1-6
requirement that requires 56 parking spaces, 3 truck parking spaces, and 6 truck loading
stalls.
C. The use is consistent with Vernon Zoning Code and General Plan as the
amendment of the CUP will ensure zoning capability. Additionally, the amendment of
the CUP will be consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan of encouraging
industrial uses in the City.
f The proposed use is consistent with all applicable County, State and
Federal laws, rules and regulations as conditioned below. Additionally, the use will meet
local and State Fire Code requirements.
g. The proposed use will not adversely affect the general welfare, as
conditioned below, as a result of noise, increased traffic, interference with flow of traffic,
dust, or other undesirable characteristics. Although the Project will add a small number
of vehicle trips, no intersections will be impacted. Additionally, various conditions are
imposed to ensure the project does not cause excess noise and impede traffic flow.

FROM: Samuel Kevin Wilson Director of Community Services & Water
RE: Conditional Use Permit — Lubricating Specialties Company located at 3365
Slauson Avenue
Lubricating Specialties Company (the "Applicant") has submitted an application to amend
their existing conditional use permit that was previously approved on March 17, 1992 for the property
located at 3365 Slauson Avenue in the Industrial I -Zone of the city, in order to operate a petroleum
related facility (the "Project"). This conditional use permit limited the Applicant to the storage,
processing and transferring of only Class III liquids and other combustible products. They now wish
to store, blend and distribute Class I,1I and III liquids, as defined in the California Fire Code, in their
existing tank farm (Tank Farm "B") located at 3365 Slauson Avenue. Tank Farm B is divided in two
sections; the east section is 7,925 sq. ft., and west section is 5,575 sq. ft. the Applicant proposes to
utilize four 50,000 gallon tanks and two 14,000 gallon tanks to store the Class I and Class 11 liquids on
the west sections of Tank Farm B.
The environmental analysis performed for the City of Vernon's issuance of the prior
conditional use permit indicated that the oils and greases that the Applicant processed were
limited to low to moderate fire hazards with flash points of the materials above 200°. The
Applicant now proposes to distribute liquids with much lower flash points. Thus, in order to
allow the storage of these liquids, the Applicant's Conditional Use Permit must be amended.
Therefore, the Applicant is requesting an amendment to their existing conditional use permit to
allow them to store Class I and Class II liquids at the subject site.
After review of the application by the Community Services Department, it is
recommended that the conditional use permit be granted.
Enclosed herewith for your consideration are the following supporting documents:
1. Staff Report.
2. Request for conditional use permit and information supporting the application.
3. Notice of Public Hearing and affidavit of mailing.

Lubricating Specialties company is a lubricating oil compounder and packager. The facility at
3365 E. Slauson Ave, Vernon, CA contains a manufacturing and warehouse building, two
outside contained bulk storage tank farms, tank car and truck loading and unloading areas, and
drums storage of petroleum chemical and finished product. The present site is approximately
four and a half acres with tank farms and buildings that occupy about two acres. Approximately
98% of the site has an impervious surface. The facility has been in operation since 1989. Since
operations began, there has been one spill that has contributed significantly to storm runoff
pollution.
The site stores lubricating oils and petroleum chemicals. These items are the actual major
pollution concern of the facility. The sites' vulnerability and sources for pollution potential are
listed in the "Vulnerability Analysis" and "Spill Sources and Containment". The facility handles,
stores, uses, and distributes petroleum products in the form of motor oil additives, automatic
transmission oil, greases, and specialty products. LSC receives products by common carrier via
tanker truck and rail cars. The products are stored in several aboveground storage tanks (ASTs).
They are delivered to customers by common carrier and independent contractors.
The attached Site Plan shows the location and layout of the facility. It also shows the location of
oil containers, buildings, loading/unloading and transfer areas, and critical spill control
structures.
This facility (ISO 9001:2000 certified) is a unique and flexible plant in that there are actually
five separate unrelated manufacturing areas, where batch blending and storage of hydraulic oils,
motor oils, and grease take place. The Plant has the responsibility for: 1) additive toll processing;
2) white oil processing; 3) grease and fiber optic cable gel manufacturing; 4) military
specification lubricants; 5) marine deep draft blending. Batch blending at LSC can involve
volumes from 220 to 50,000 gallons for oils, or from 5,000 to 18,000 pounds for greases; and
requires adding individual raw materials in a prescribed orderly fashion, one ingredient at a time,
according to the product recipe. Specific procedures and processes must be followed for each
ingredient that is added, and testing may be required between steps, as well. A sample of each
batch is submitted to the quality laboratory before it's released.
The plant operates on an extended one -shift operation.
• Toll Processing: Involves to terminal, process and quality control check upon receipt and
shipment, of products for some of the major chemical and additive companies. Most
receipts are by rail with trucks outbound.
• White Oil Processing: This operation takes virgin RLOP (Chevron's Richmond Lube Oil
Plant) base oils and converts them into technical and USP (US Pharmacopeia) grade
materials. In this process also, the plant blends food -grade performance lubricants.
• Grease Manufacturing: The plant produces lithium -based products, also manufactures
fiber optic cable gel, clay -based and aluminum -based greases.
• Military Specification Lubricants: These are PAO (polyalphaolefin synthetic base oil)
based and mineral oil fluid materials that are super clean. They are used in military
equipment applications.
• Marine Deep Draft Blending: The plant blends both regular and zinc -free fluids,
including heavy marine engine oils and greases.
Different types of greases are manufactured in grease kettles on mezzanine level one, with soap
component being blended in soap kettles located in mezzanine level two and three. The finished
greases are packaged into 400, 120 and 35 pound metal containers by filling equipment located
under mezzanine one. In addition, grease filling of 14-ounce plastic and fiber tubes are filled on
the warehouse floor, to be later packaged into cardboard boxes and stored on pallets until
shipment is made. Packaged and drum raw materials required for manufacturing and blending of
white and hydraulic oils, lubricants and greases are stored in pallets in the warehouses A and B
until required and used in production process.
Projected Expanded Operations:
This expansion project is aimed to store finished product, in a toll processing service fashion for
one of our biggest customer, Eastman Chemical. LSC will place an additional set of fixed roof
tanks in existing Tank Farm B, including all required process and fire protection equipment to
store Eastman products. LSC's operators will upload the product from rail cars to specific
product storage tanks. Afterward and according Eastman's distribution schedule, LSC's
operators will download the products to truck tank (third party truck companies) in order to serve
Eastman's customers in the Los Angeles basin. These products are listed as Class 1 and 2
flammables. The attached table gives an idea about flash and boiling points, OSHA status, liquid
average and maximum height, maximum and working volume per product. In addition, the table
indicates use of steam, nitrogen (top internal tank blanketing) and vapor recovery.
There is one full-scale laboratory on site, able to test and check all products currently
manufactured or processed. This laboratory will also test Eastman products.
Logistics Department counts with two truck weight scales for incoming and outgoing shipments
of our products (no scale service is provided to third parties).
LSC employs a total of 35 workers for actual operations. Normal working hours of operations
are from 7:00am to 15:00pm, with extended hours up to 23:30pm for selected employees under
special request, from Monday to Friday. Some logistics, production and maintenance employees
could start at 4:00am, 10:00am or 14:00pm, upon production need. Extended operation on
Saturday and Sundays from 7:00am to 15:00pm, upon production and maintenance need.
Sufficient number of parking spaces is available for both LSO's employees and visitors (56
standard, plus 2 handicapped). Also, for truck loading and unloading spaces are provided onsite
for actual and projected need.

are from 7:00am to 15:00pm, with extended hours up to 23:30pm for selected employees under
special request, from Monday to Friday. Some logistics, production and maintenance employees
could occasionally start at 4:00am, 10:00am or 14:00pm, following production schedule.
Extended operation on Saturday and Sundays from 7:00am to 15:00pm, upon production and
maintenance need.
Sufficient number of parking spaces is available for both LSO's employees and visitors (56
standard, plus 2 handicapped). Also, for truck parking (2) loading and unloading (6) spaces are
available onsite for actual and projected need.
Most of the vehicular traffic at the existing operation will continue as before, which includes
employee (35) ingress/egress and trucks that will deliver and pick -UP products. During normal
operations the plant receives/ships 6 to 8 truck trips. The proposed project will add 3 to 5
employee and 4 to 6 more truck trips to the existing vehicular traffic. The number of truck trips
for the purpose of ingress/egress combined will consist of 8 to 12 entering the premises during a
typical 18-hour period, during the balance 6 hours; there is no shipment/receiving operation in
the plant. The number of personal vehicle trips will consist of 38 to 42 employees that will
ingress/egress according normal hours. Then, the balance of employees will spread over the
normal and extended hours of operation. Vehicle traveling to the site will generally exit I-710
and travel southbound on Atlantic Boulevard, then westbound on Slauson Avenue to the site.
Vehicles exiting the site will utilize the same streets in the opposite direction. Based in our actual
and additional (increment by project) number of employees, the vehicle trips and traffic
congestion generated by proposed use will not be enough to cause any significant impact. There
is ample on -site perking available for all the vehicles (actual and additional) and the main gate
will remain open during operation hours.

Estimates are based upon the following assumptions:
❑ Normal working hours of production.
❑ Truck ingress is done off-peak to avoid traffic tie-ups, and spread over normal working
hours.
❑ Auto traffic is primarily at the beginning and at the end of normal working hours.
❑ Suppliers and other LSC management visit are not included as they are spread over the
day and they are not deemed to impact normal traffic or parking.

Per your request of the letter dated August 10, 2009, the attachments will address "LSC shall perform an
analysis in accordance with AQMD Guidelines to assess operating equipment and truck -related impacts to
ensure that emissions will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutant concentrations. This analysis will
determine whether the anticipated operating equipment and truck -related emissions are under the
significant thresholds." We have referred to the documents that you shared with us from another
company in Vernon, AQMD web site, and employees of the AQMD for formulas and process for
completion of this report.
If there any questions regarding the data provided, please feel free to call me.

ENGINEERING ANALYSIS
OPERATING EQUPMENT AND TRUCK. -RELATED IMPACTS
Lubricating Specialties Company (LSC) has submitted permit application to the City of
Vernon for additional storage operation in the LSC facility located at 3365 Slauson
Avenue in the City of Vernon.
As the result of a written notification from the Department of Community Services &
Water of the City of Vernon on August 10, 2009, LSC conducted the requested
Engineering Analysis in accordance with SCAQMD Guidelines and sample analysis
provided by the City of Vernon to assess operating equipment and truck -related impacts,
ensuring the emissions are under the SCAQMD significance thresholds.
Details of the analysis are attached and the results are summarized in the table below.

As shown in the table, analyses were conducted on the following emission sources.
1. Additional Truck Traffic Emissions — potential emission estimates were
calculated based on 10 addition truck trips per day and average trip length of 25
miles per trip. Emission factors were taken from SCAQMD 2009 Scenario.
Calculation details are presented in Attachment A.
2. Tank Emissions — potential emission estimates for 5 tanks were calculated using
EPA Tanks 4.0 Software. Tanks data, storage liquids data, and calculated emission
results are summarized in Attachment B. Tank calculation details are presented in
Attachment E.
3. T ruck Loading Emissions — potential emission estimates were calculated based on
EPA AP-42, Section 5.2 equation for Truck Loadout and annual Net Throughput
gallons for the 5 tanks. Calculation details are presented in Attaclunent C.
4. Fugitive Component Emissions — potential emission estimates were calculated
based on the SOCMI Average Emission Factors published in EPA 453/R-95-017.
The Average Emission Factors were used to quantify emissions of non -monitored
components in the worst case scenario. Calculation details are presented in
Attachment D.
5. T hresholds of Significance — Values of significance Thresholds are based on
SCAQMD Operational Emission Thresholds.

Lubricating Specialties Company Spill Prevention, Control, and Countenneasure (SPCCI Plan
Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan is to describe measures implemented by
LSC to prevent oil discharges from occurring, and to prepare LSC to respond in a safe, effective and timely manner to
mitigate the Impacts of a discharge.
This Plan has been prepared to meet the requirements of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112 (40 CFR
part 112), and supercedes the earlier Plan developed to meet provisions in effect since 1974.
In addition to fulfilling requirements of 40 CFR part 112, this SPCC Plan is used as a reference for oil (Class III)
storage information and testing records, as a tool to communicate practices on preventing and responding to discharge with
employees, as a guide to facility inspections, and as a resource during emergency response. This update of the .Plan also
includes flammable products (Class I and Class II) and is used as a reference for its storage and. handling practices.
LSC management has determined that this facility does not pose a risk of substantial harm under 40 CFR part 112,
as recorded in the "Substantial Harm Determination" included in Appendix B of this Plan.
This Plan provides guidance on key actions that LSC must perform to comply with the SPCC rule:
❑ Complete monthly and annual site inspections as outlined in the Inspection, Test, and Records section of
this Plan (Section 3.7) using the inspection checklists included on Appendix C.
❑ Perform preventive maintenance of equipment, secondary containment systems, and discharge prevention
systems described in this Plan as needed to keep them in proper operating conditions.
❑ Conduct annual employee training as outlined in the Personnel, Training, and Spill Prevention Procedures
section of this Plan (Section 3.8) and document them on the log included in Appendix E.
❑ If either of the following occurs, submit the SPCC Plan to the EPA Region 9 Regional Administrator and
the California Department of Environmental Protection, along with other information as detailed in Section
5.4 of this Plan:
• The facility discharges more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the
U.S. or adjoining shorelines in a single spill event; or
• The facility discharges oil in quantity greater than 42 gallons in each of two spill events within any
12-month period.
Review the SPCC Plan at least once every 5 years and amend it to include more effective prevention and
control technology, if such technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill event and has been
proven effective in the filed at the time of the review. Plan amendments, other than administrative changes
discussed above, must be decertified by a Professional Engineer on the certification page in Section 1.2 of
this Plan.
Amend the SPCC Plan within 6 months whenever there is a change in facility design, construction,
operation, or maintenance that materially affects the facility's spill potential. The revised Plan must be
recertified by a Professional Engineer:
❑ Review the Plan on an annual basis, Update the Plan to reflect any "administrative changes" that are
applicable, such as personnel changes or revisions to a contact information, such as phone numbers.
Administrative changes must be documented in review the Plan review log of Section 1.4 of this Plan, but
do not have to certified by a Professional Engineer.

2.1.2 Location and Activities
Lubricating Specialties company is a lubricating oil compounder and packager. The facility at 3365 E. Slauson Ave, Vernon,
CA contains a manufacturing and warehouse building, two outside contained bulk storage tank farms, tank car and track
loading and unloading areas, and drums storage of petroleum chemical and finished product.
The present site is approximately four and a half acres with tank farms and buildings that occupy about two acres.
Approximately 98% of the site has an impervious surface. The facility has been in operation since 1989. There has been one
spill that has contributed significantly to storm runoff pollution.
The site stores lubricating oils and petroleum chemicals. These items are the major pollution concern of the facility. The
sites' vulnerability and sources for pollution potential are listed in the "Vulnerability Analysis and "Spill Sol;-: e, and
Containment".
The facility handles, stores, uses, and distributes petroleum products in the form of motor oil additives, automatic
transmission oil, greases, and specialty products. LSC receives products by common carrier via tanker truck and rail cars.
The products are stored in several aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). They are delivered to customers by common carrier
and independent contractors.
Hours of operations are between 5:00 AM and 4:00 PM 5 days per week. Personnel at the facility include plant manager,
staff and 34 hourly employees.
The Site Plan and Facility Diagram included in Appendix A of this Plan show the location and layout of the facility. The
Facility Diagram (Figure A-2) shows the location of oil containers, buildings, loading/unloading and transfer areas, and
critical spill control structures.

2.1.3 Oil Storage
Oil storage at the facility consists of ASTs 87 tanks. In addition, the facility stores varying stock of oil drums inside the plant
boundaries.
The capacities of oil tanks present at the site are listed below and are also indicated on the facility diagram of Figure A-2, All
containers with a capacity of 55 gallons or more are included. The capacity of the oil/water separator is not included in the
total storage capacity for the facility since it is used to treat storm water and as a means of secondary containment for areas of
the facility with potential for an oil discharge outside dikes or berms.

2.2 Evaluation of Discharge Potential
2.2.1 Distance to Navigable Waters and Adjoining Shorelines and Flow Paths
The facility is located on relatively level terrain. Drainage generally flows in the direction of South East to the general out
fall area. This out -fall area asphalt and is a locked gate. Spill trajectories are indicated on the facility diagram. Storm drains
are located along Slauson Ave. on the South side of the property. All rainfall that runs from the roofs and pad east of the
ridge line will flow in that direction.
No loading or off- loading takes place to the south of the ridge line protecting all storm drains.
All of the facility's ground surface is paved with either asphalt or concrete. There is one small area in the center of the
facility that separates parking from the facility that is ground.
2.2.2 Discharge history
'There is one recordable discharge that occurred in 2003 that involved
Polyalphaoliphin to reach the sewer system. This spill required a response team
clean up.

Lubricating Specialties Company Spill Prevention, Control. and Countermeasure MCC) Plan
PART 3: Discharge Prevention - General SPCC Provisions
The following measures are implemented to prevent oil discharges during the handling, use, or transfer of oil products at the
facility. Oil handling employees have received training in the proper implementations of these measures.
3.1 Compliance with Applicable Requirements (40 CFR 112.7(a)(2))
This facility uses an oil/water separator as part of its drainage system to contain oil discharged in certain areas of the facility.
The separator provides environmental protection equivalent to the requirements under 112.8(b)(3) to use ponds, lagoons, or
catchments basins to retain oil at the facility.in the event of an uncontrolled discharge. As described in Section 3.5 of this
Plan the operational and emergency oil storage capacity of the oil/water separator is sufficient to handle the quantity of oil
expected to be discharged in undiked areas from tank overfills or transfer operations.
All truck unloading, railcar unloading and drum storage is within bermed areas that control the flow of any material keeping
it well clear of any possible opportunity to contaminate rain water. Corrosion poses minimal risk of failure since drums are
single use and remain on site for a relatively short period of time (less than 1 year generally). The drum storage area is
inspected monthly. This is in accordance with accepted industry practice for drum storage and provides an effective means
of verifying container integrity, as noted by EPA in the preamble to the SPCC rule at 67 FR 47120.
3.2 Facility Layout Diagram (40CFR 112.7(a)(3))
Figure A-1 in Appendix A shows the general location of the facility on a U.S. Geological Survey topographic map. Figure
A-2 in Appendix A presents a layout of the facility and the location of storage tanks and drums. The diagram also shows the
location of storm water drain inlets and the direction of surface water runoff. As required under 40 CFR 112.7(a) (3), the
facility diagram indicates the location and content of ASTs and transfer stations and connecting piping.
3.3 Spill Reporting (40 CFR 112.7(a) (4))
The discharge notification form included in Appendix G will be completed upon immediate detection of a discharge and
proper to reporting a spill to the proper notification contacts.
3.4 Potential Discharge Volumes and Direction of Flow (40 CFR 112.7 (b))
Table 3-1 presents expected volume, discharge rate, general direction of flow in the event of equipment failure, and means of
secondary containment for different parts of the facility where oil is stored, used or handled.

Methods of secondary containment at this facility include a combination of structures (e.g., dikes, berms, built-in secondary
containment), drainage systems (e.g., oil/water separator), and land -based spill response (e.g., drain covers, sorbent) to
prevent oil from reaching navigable waters and adjoining shorelines:
➢ For bulk storage containers (refer to Section 4.2.2 of this Plan):
Dike. A concrete wall enclosure is provided around fixed aboveground storage tanks in the tank farm.
➢ At the loading rack and unloading area (refer to Section 3.10 of this Plan):
Rollover berm. The loading rack/unloading area is surrounded by a 4 inch rollover berm that provides
sufficient containment for the largest tank truck loading or unloading at the facility (7,000 gallons), and an
additional 2 inches of freeboard for precipitation.
➢ Sorbent material. Spill cleanup kits that include absorbent material, and other portable barriers are located inside the
transfer areas. The spill kits are located within close proximity of the oil product storage and handling areas for
rapid deployment should a spill occur. The response equipment inventory for the facility is listed in Appendix
H of this Plan. The inventory is checked monthly to ensure that used material is replenished.
➢ Oil/Water separator. The oil/water separator is designed to separate oil at the facility. The separator has a total
capacity of 800 gallons and a design flow rate of 150 gallons per minute. The separator outlet valve can be
closed in the event of a large discharge (greater than 300 gallons) to provide additional emergency containment
of up to 100,000 gallons. The maximum amount of oil potentially discharge outside of the diked or bermed
areas is estimated at roughly 5,000 gallons. A spill of this volume outside the bermed area will be primarily
contained by the out -fall system. Best Management Practices are used to minimize the amount of solids and oil
that flow into the out -fall area. Facility personnel are instructed to avoid and address small spills using sorbent
to minimize runoff of oil into the out -fall area. The oil/water separator is inspected twice annually as part of the
- 13 - Version 1.2, 03-16-2009
Lubricating Specialties Company Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan
scheduled inspection to check the level of water and measure the depth of bottom sludge and floating oils.
Floating oil is removed by a licensed waste collector when it reaches a thickness of 4 inches.
3.6 Practicability of Secondary Containment (40 CFR 112.7 (d))
LSC management has determined that secondary containment is practicable at this facility.

3.7.2 Monthly Inspection
The checklist provide in Appendix C issued for monthly inspections by LSC personnel. The monthly inspections cover the
following key elements:
o Observing the exterior of aboveground storage tanks, pipes, and other equipment for signs of deterioration,
leaks, corrosion, and thinning.
o Observing the exterior of portable containers for signs of deterioration or leaks.
o Observing tank foundations and supports for sign of instability or excessive settlement.
o Observing the tank fill and discharge pipes for signs of poor connection that could cause a discharge and
tank vent for obstructions and proper operation.
o Verify the proper functioning of overfill prevention systems.
o Checking the inventory of discharge response equipment and restocking as needed.
o Observing the effluent and measuring the quantity of accumulated oil within the oil/water separator.
All problems regarding tanks, piping, containment, or response equipment must be immediately reported to the Plant
Manager. Visible oil leaks from tank walls, piping, or other components must be repaired as soon as possible to prevent a
larger spill or a discharge to navigable waters or adjourning shorelines. Pooled oil is removed immediately upon discovery.
Written monthly inspection records are signed by the Plant Manager and maintained with this SPCC Plan for a period of 3
years.
3.7.3 Annual Inspection
Plant personnel perform a more thorough inspection of plant equipment on an annual basis. This annual inspection
complements the monthly inspection described above and is performed in June of each year using the checklist provided in
Appendix C of this Plan.
The annual inspection is preferable performed after a large storm event in order to verify the imperviousness and/or proper
functioning of drainage control systems such as the dike, rollover berm, central valves, and oil/water separator.
Written annual inspection records are signed by the Plant Manager and maintained with this Plan for a period of 3 years
3.8 Personnel, Training, and Discharge Prevention Procedures (40 CFR 112.7 (f))
The Plant Manager is the facility designee and is responsible for oil discharge prevention, control, and response preparedness
activities at this facility.
LSC management has instructed oil handling personnel in the operation and maintenance of oil pollution prevention
equipment; discharge procedure protocols, applicable pollution control laws, rules and regulations, general facility
operations, and content of this SPCC Plan. Any new facility personnel with oil handling responsibilities are provided with
this same training prior to being involved in any oil operation.
Annual discharge trainings are held by the Plant Manager or his designated representative for all facility personnel involved
in oil operations. The trainings are aimed. at ensuring continued understanding and adherence to the discharge prevention
procedures presented in the SPCC Plan. The training also highlights and describes known discharge events or failures,
malfunctioning components, and recently implemented precautionary measures and best practices. Operators and other
personnel will have the opportunity during the training to share recommendations concerning health, safety, and
environmental issues encountered during plant operations.
A simulation of an on -site discharge has been conducted, and future training exercises will be periodically held for possible
discharge responses.
Records of the training and discharge prevention training are kept on the form shown in Appendix E and maintained with this
SPCC Plan for a period of 3 years.

3.9 Security (40 CFR 112.7 (g))
The facility is surrounded by 7-feet tall steel security fencing. The single entrance gate is locked when the facility is
unattended. The gate and drive areas are under 24 hour surveillance cameras, and scanned by electronic beams that are
monitored 24 hours a day by a security company.
All drain valves for containment areas are locked in the closed position to prevent unauthorized opening.
The area is lighted for loading and drum storage.
The electrical starters for all pumps are located inside the manufacturing building. The building is locked and under motion
detection surveillance systems when the plant is not operation.
The plant securely caps or blank -flanges the loading/unloading connections of hoses and piping when not in service or when
in standby service for any extended period of time.
3.10 Tank Truck Loading/Unloading rack requirements (40 CFR 112.7 (h))
The potential for discharges during tank truck loading and unloading operations is of particular concern at this facility. LSC
management is committed to ensuring the safe transfer of material to and from storage tanks. Measures are implemented to
prevent oil discharges during tank truck loading and unloading operations.
3.10.1 Secondary Containment (40 CFR 112.7 (h) (1))
The loading and unloading areas are used by outside suppliers making deliveries to the facility and to load contract delivery
trucks.
The tank truck loading and unloading area is surrounded with a 4-inch rollover asphalt berm that provides secondary
containment in the event of a discharge during transfer operations. The secondary containment berm is designed to address
the more stringent rack containment requirements of 40 CFR 112.7 (h), which requires that the berm be sufficient to contain
the capacity of the largest compartment, plus freeboard for precipitation. The curbed area provides a catchment capacity of
9,000 gallons, which is capable of containing the largest compartment of the petroleum supplier's truck making deliveries at
the plant, and is also capable of containing the capacity of contract delivery trucks.
The area is graded to direct the flow of oil or water away from the vehicle, and the low point of the curbed area is fitted with
a gate valve that is normally kept closed and locked. The key for that lock is kept in the Compliance Manager's office. The
berm is drained by LSC personnel after verifying that the retained water is free of oil. The accumulated water is released to
the out -fall area. The drain is closed and locked following drainage.
3.10.2 Loading/Unloading Procedures (40 CFR 112.7 (h) (2) and (3))
All truckers must meet the minimum requirements and regulations for tank track loading and unloading establ shco 0 ; ai
U.S. Department of Transportation. LSC ensures that the trucker understands the site layout, knows the protocol for entering
the facility and unloading product, and has the necessary equipment to respond to a discharge from the vehicle.
The Plant Manager or his/her designee supervises oil deliveries and pick-ups of all loads, and periodically observes these
deliveries/pick-ups for existing, approved truckers.
All loading and unloading of tank trucks takes place only in designated loading rack/unloading areas.
Vehicle filling, operations are performed by plant personnel trained in proper discharge prevention procedures. The truck
driver or plant personnel remain with the vehicle at all times.

Part 5: Discharge Response
This section describes the response and cleanup procedures in the event of an oil discharge. The uncontrolled discharge of oil
to groundwater, or soil is prohibited by state and federal laws. Immediate action must be taken to control, contain, and
recover discharged product.
In general, the following steps are taken:
➢ Eliminate potential spark sources;
➢ Identify and shut down sources of the discharge to stop the flow;
➢ Contain the discharge with sorbents, berms, fences, trenches, sandbags, or other material;
➢ Contact the Plant Manager and the Compliance Manager;
➢ Contact regulatory authorities and the response organization;
➢ Collect and dispose of recovered products according to regulations.
For the purpose of establishing appropriate response procedures, this SPCC Plan classifies discharges as either "minor" or
"major", depending on the volume and characteristics of the material released.
A list of Emergency Contacts is provided in Appendix I. The list is also posted at prominent locations throughout the plant.
A list of discharge response material kept at the plant is included in Appendix H,
5.1 Response to a Minor Discharge
A "minor" discharge is defined as one that poses no significant harm or threat to human health and safety to the environment.
Minor discharges are generally those where:
➢ The quantity of product discharged is small (e.g, may involve less than 20 gallons of oil);
➢ Discharged material is easily stopped and controlled at the time of the discharge;
➢ Discharge is localized near the source;
Discharge material is not likely to reach water;
➢ Discharge material is not likely to leave the property;
➢ There is little risk of fire or explosion.
Minor discharges can usually be cleaned up by LSC personnel. The following guidelines apply:
➢ Immediately notify the Plant Manager and the Compliance Manager;
➢ Under of the direction of either, contain the discharge with discharge response materials and equipment. Place
discharge debris in properly labeled waste containers.
➢ The Plant Manager will complete the discharge notification form (Appendix G) and attach a copy to this SPCC Plan.
➢ If the discharge involves more than 20 gallons of oil, the Plant Manager will call the California Department of
Environmental Protection Incident Response Division.
5.2 Response to a Major Discharge
A. "major" discharge is defined as one that cannot be safely controlled or cleaned up by plant personnel, such as when:
➢ The discharge is large enough to spread beyond the immediate discharge area;
➢ The discharge material enters water;
➢ The discharge requires special equipment or training to cleanup;
➢ The discharged material poses a hazard to human health or safety;
➢ The discharged material leaves the property; or
➢ There is a danger of fire or explosion.
- In the event of a major discharge, the following guidelines apply:
➢ . Immediately notify the Plant Manager and the Compliance Manager;
- 17 - Version 1.2, 03-16-2009
Lubricating Specialties Company Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan
➢ Under of the direction of either, contain the discharge with discharge response materials and equipment. Place
discharge debris in properly labeled waste containers.
➢ If the Plant Manager or Compliance Manager is not present at the plant, the senior on -site person notifies the Plant
Manager and Compliance Manager of the discharge and has authority to initiate notification and response. Certain
notifications are dependent on the circumstances and types of discharge.
➢ The Plant Manager or Compliance Manager (or senior on -site person) must call for medical assistance if workers are
injured.
➢ The Plant Manager or Compliance Manager (or senior on -site person) must notify the Fire Department and/or Police
Department.
➢ The Plant Manager or Compliance Manager (or senior on -site person) must call the spill response and cleanup

Department of Environmental protection Incident Response Division, and the National Response Center.
➢ The Plant Manager or Compliance Manager (or senior on -site person) must record the calls on the Discharge
Notification form in Appendix I and attach a copy to this SPCC Plan.
5.3 Waste Disposal
Waste resulting from a minor discharge response will be containerized in impervious bags, drums, or pails. The compliance
Manager will characterize the waste for proper disposal and ensure that it is removed from the facility by a licensed waste
hauler within two weeks.
Wastes resulting from a major discharge response will be removed and disposed of by a cleanup contractor.
5.4 Discharge Notification
➢ Any size discharge (i.e., one that creates a sheen, emulsion, or sludge) that affects or threatens to affect navigable
waters or adjourning shorelines must be reported immediately to the National Response Center (1-800-424-8802).
The Center is staffed 24 hours a day.
A summary sheet is included in Appendix I to facilitate reporting. The person reporting the discharge must provide the

Gentlemen:
Please find the following findings, 2007 California Fire Code Chapter 34 paragraph by
paragraph comments, fire flow calculations and summaries, LSC Hazardous Material
Report, proposed fire protection, and fire and water drainage drawing for your
consideration as concerns the LSC additions/expansion to the facility:
The plant is located at the above referenced address. The plant entrance is off of Slauson
Avenue, which has commercial activities, but the LSC facility is actually in an industrial
area that is to the north of Slauson Avenue that is consistent with the industrial theme in
the City of Vernon. The driveway into the facility is 20'-2" to 20'-51/2" in width. At this
entry is where a 10" underground fire water main enters the facility, it is controlled by a
PIV, and there is a 6" FDC header with 4-21/2" hose connections. The main
building/warehouse is protected by automatic sprinkler systems which come off the
facility's 10" looped underground fire water main. The facility contains blending and
storage of hydraulic oils, motor oils, and grease. The chemicals are Class IB, II, & IIIB
(See attached LSC Hazardous Material Report).

3403.1.3 Areas are not explosion proof, however, they will be made so if this project
is approved.
3403.2 See fire protection as applicable.
3403.2.1 Fire extinguishers and hose lines are provided.
3403.3 The site contains diked areas, a berm, and sloped areas. The diked areas are
in the tank farms, and the rail car parking area. The berm (2" high) is located
at the truck loading area (adjacent to and south of the B tank farm) and at the
west end of the B tank farm, where rail car and truck loading occurs. The
asphalt paved surface slopes to the dike wall and rail line area. There is no
sloping that would cause any drainage or spill to proceed out of the property
toward the railroad right of way/rail lines/links outside the NW gate. This
area can drain around the SW corner of the B tank farm dike wall to the east,
and possibly flow down the rail line into the rail car parking area to the
south. The rail car parking area has the facility's sump which is sized to
contain a spill from plant. The truck loading area south of the B tank farm
has a small drain that is inadequate, it is not at a low point, and flow
continues east to the building loading dock where a main drain is located.
This area is where trucks load and it is under a sprinklered roof/canopy that
is attached to the building. (Flows can not be allowed to proceed to this
drain and toward the building)
At the east end of the truck loading area, a grated trench drain needs to be
installed from the tank farm dike wall, across the truck loading area, to the 2"
high berm. This will prevent a spill from the south side of the B tank farm
dike wall from reaching the building. Also in this area is a fire hydrant that
needs a berm installed around it to preclude a spill or pool from engulfing it.
An additional grated trench drain needs to be installed from the SW corner of
the B tank farm out to the 2" high berm. This will prevent a spill from the
west side of the B tank farm from migrating into and involving the south side
area of the B tank farm.
The B tank farm itself has a 4' high dike wall inside and around it in the
areas that communicate to the facility. There are actually 2 dike areas in the.
B tank farm, but the common dike wall inside has openings in it that allow
flow from the west portion to travel through the openings, through the east
portion, to the tank farm's only drain. The openings in the wall need to be
cemented closed. This will stop any involvement of the east tank farm area
from a problem in the west tank farm area. A new drain needs to be installed
in the west tank farm area.
All areas inside the tank farm should be for temporary occupancy only. All
meter/blend/control stations should be located outside of the dike areas,
including all desks, clothes storage lockers, mix stations, etc.
Page 3
All blockages to drains and impediments to drainage are to be removed. All
electrical inside diked and berm areas is to be explosion proof. Fire protection
is be added as part of the expansion project. Another point of access into the
facility needs to be provided, and this is underway via the electrical
transmission lines right of way on the west side of the facility.

All references to AFFF are for alcohol resistant foam (AR-AFFF)
Water summaries for the above listed areas 1 through 7 are as follows:
1) 374 gpm x 1.15 = 430 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 930 gpm.
Using a 500 gpm nozzle + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 1,000 gpm requirement.
2) 300 gpm x 1.15 = 345 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 845 gpm requirement.
3) 630.28 gpm x 1.15 = 724.82 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance=1,224.82 gpm.
Using 2 — 500 gpm nozzles = 1,000 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 1,500 gpm
requirement.
4) 991.28 gpm x 1.15 = 1,139,97 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 1,639.97 gpm.
Using 3 — 500 gpm nozzles =1,500 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 2,000 gpm
requirement.
5) 531.25 gpm x 1.15 = 610.94 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 1,110.94 gpm.
Using 2 — 500 gpm nozzles = 1,000 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 1,500 gpm
requirement.
6) 306.68 gpm x 1.15 = 352.68 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 852.68 gpm.
Using a 500 gpm nozzle + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 1,000 gpm requirement.
7) 1,004.19 gpm x 1.15 = 1,154.82 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 1,654.82 gpm.
Using 3- 500 gpm nozzles = 1,500 gpm + 500 gpm for hose allowance = 2,000 gpm
requirement.
The largest requirement for water is 2,000 gpm and 125 psi at the monitor nozzles. The
city supply does not have the total pressure required for this project (see graphs attached).
Approximately 149 psi is needed due to the 50' elevated monitors that will be stationed
around the B tank farm. The water main to the property and inside the facility is 10"
which lends itself to the use of either a 2,000 gpm booster pump or a 2,500 gpm booster
pump. LSC has indicated that they would like to use a 2,500 electric booster pump rated
at 80 psi for the site.
Page 15
PROPOSED FIRE PROTECTION AND ASSOCIATED WORK
There will be 7 — 500 gpm monitors for the project. 3 monitors will be 50' free standing
for use in the B tank farm. All monitors will have a tote of foam positioned and
connected to each monitor, except for the 2 monitors along the rail car parking area
which shall have 2 totes each. The totes will have 3x3 AR-AFFF foam. The monitor
locations are shown on the attached drawings. The monitors also have the ability to be
water only. The monitors will be fed by a 2,500 gpm @ 80 psi electric pump with by-
pass. The existing underground main system will be added to in order to supply the new
monitors. A new entrance to the facility will be provided on the west side of the property
for Fire Department Use. The common dike wall in the B tank farm will be made whole,
and new drains and a supplementary drainage system will be installed.

Dear Mr. Wilson:
In accordance with Section 111.2.4 and Appendix Chapter 1, Section 104.9, of the 2007
California Fire Code, we are requesting an alternate means and method of fire protection
for the proposed addition to the Lubricating Specialties Company (LSC) facility in
Vernon, CA.

REQUEST:
To allow bulk transfer tank car unloading at a distance less than 25 feet (ft) from above
ground storage tanks.
CODE SECTION REFERENCE AND THE INTENT:
The 2007 California Fire Code (CFC) Section 3406.5.1.1 requires the bulk transfer areas
of Class I liquids to be located at least 25 feet away from above ground storage tanks.
The intent of this section is that the transfer of liquids is inherently more hazardous due
to the potential for the fuel to escape enclosed transport equipment such as hoses or
nozzles and create a spill condition.
PROPOSAL:
Due to the existing site layout and space available the bulk transfer area is proposed to
be allowed within a distance of 14 ft of the new above ground storage tanks which will

AM&M Request
contain Class IB flammable liquids. The 14 ft distance is from the center of the rail car to
the outside of the closest tank containing Class IB flammable liquids. This distance
constitutes the worst condition for the tank closest to the dike wall. Other tanks
containing Class IB flammable liquids are in the proximity of this tank and range from
one foot to two feet further away from the dike wall. The distance these tanks are to the
dike wall is due to the existing site conditions. The rail car route is existing in relation to
theTank Farm B diked storage area.

To mitigate the code deficiency and provide an equivalent level of safety, the following is
proposed:
• Provide a 9 ft concrete wall, consisting of at least a 2 hour fire rating,
along the wall of the diked storage area which fronts the bulk transfer.
o Provide a fixed fire suppression system consisting of manual hose
monitors stations utilizing AR-AFF Foam in accordance with NFPA 11.
September 30, 2009
LSC Addition
Vernon, CA
JUSTIFICATION:
AM&M Request
The addition of the 9 ft high concrete wall will provide an additional barrier to radiative
heat produced by a fire to and from the bulk transfer area. This wall will also serve as an
added vapor barrier for fuels with vapor densities heavier than air.
A comparative study was conducted to look at the differences between fire exposure in
the code compliant configuration of a 25 ft separation versus the proposed configuration
of an 14 ft separation with a wall. An additional scenario was conducted to compare the
results of an 14 ft separation without the 9 ft high wall. The Fire Dynamics Simulator
(FDS) developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was
used to compare the differences in exposure (related in heat flux kW/m2) to the bulk
transfer area from a fire in the diked area of Tank Farm B. This test scenario was
selected since a fire resulting after a tank rupture in the diked area would be more
hazardous than a fire originating in the bulk transfer area. The results of the study are
shown in Figure 1. (Please see attached Exhibit A for additional information on the
analysis).

The graphed data is represented as follows:

LSC 9 = the tank car is located 5 feet 2 inches from the edge of the diked wall (14 feet to
the above ground tanks when the distance from the center of the rail car is taken into
account). The wall on the side of the bulk transfer area is increased to 9 ft.
LSC 9nw = the tank car is located 5 feet 2 inches from the edge of the diked wall and no

Figure 4- Comparison of Exposures
The results show that the tank car located at 5 feet 2 inches with no additional wall
height is the worst scenario. When the tank car is located 5 feet 2 inches from the wall
with the additional wall height (proposed condition) the exposure the tank car is subject
to is equivalent to the same exposure condition where the tank car is located 25 ft away
with no additional wall height (code compliant condition).
These results help substantiate the claim that an equivalent level of safety will be
provided by the features being proposed.
In addition to the 9 ft high concrete wall, fixed fire protection will be added to protect
Tank Farm B and the bulk transfer area in the -event of a fire. The benefits of the fixed
fire protection by means of foam water monitors are:
September 30, 2009
LSC Addition
Vernon, CA
AM&M Request
• They provide the capability to wet exposed surfaces to decrease the radiative
heat surfaces in the area receive from an exposure fire.
• They provide on -site extinguishing capabilities for suppression of a spill fire by
forming a foam blanket over the fuel surface and extinguishing the flame.
• They provide a means of early intervention, in the event of a fire, by preventing
spread of the fire until emergency crews can arrive.
Lastly, NFPA 30 2008 Edition is The Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code
produced by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and is written by
consensus of a committee of national fire experts. Section 28.4.1 is the equivalent
section to 3406.5.1.1 of the 2007 CFC pertaining to the bulk transfer of liquids. This
section also limits a distance of 25 feet for the bulk transfer process from above ground
storage tanks. However, section 28.4.2 states:
"These distances shall be permitted to be reduced if there is suitable protection
from exposures."
Appendix section A.28.4.2 goes on to say:
"Use of fixed fire protection systems, dikes, fire -rated barriers, or a combination
of any of these can provide suitable protection from exposures."
This stance by NFPA 30 helps to demonstrate that there is body of consensus that are
of the same opinion that the distance can be reduced when mitigating features are
provided. The LSC Facility will be provided with fixed fire protection systems, dikes and
fire -rated barriers to provide an equivalent level of protection as intended by the 25 ft
separation requirement.
September 30, 2009
LSC Addition AM&M Request
Vernon, CA
REQUEST:
To allow tanks with a capacity of 50,000 gallons containing Class IB liquids to be present
at the facility.
CODE SECTION REFERENCE AND THE INTENT:
Section 3404.2.9.5.1 of the CFC essentially states that the size limitation of tanks be
determined by the jurisdiction in which they are located. The intent of this is to base the
amount allowed to be stored on what the jurisdiction has determined they are capable of
protecting based on their resources available.
The City of Vernon has amended section 3404.2.9.5.1 to limit the size of tanks
containing Class I liquids to 10,000 gallons.
Proposal:
It is proposed to allow the addition of 5 tanks with individual capacities of 50,000 gallons
and containing Class IB liquids and the addition of 2 tanks with individual capacities of
14,000 gallons and containing Class IB liquids (see Exhibit B showing tank locations and
capacities).
The added tanks will be located in an existing diked area, Tank Farm B, at the facility
which currently has a 4 ft high dike on three sides and an 8 ft high dike on one side. The
size of the diked area is 6,418 ft2. The area of tanks (minus the largest) is 2,711 ft2 giving
a net area of 3,707 ft2.
If a 50,000 gallon tank were to completely spill its contents within the diked area the
resulting height of the liquid level within the dike would be 1.8 ft high.
A 14,000 gallon spill would equal 0.50 ft high.
A 10,000 gallon spill would equal 0.36 ft high.
For the 50,000 gallon tank, the remaining capacity in the diked area would be 8,144 ft' or
60,921 gallons. At 631 gpm from the fixed fire protection system (refer to the May 11,
2009 letter from Greco Fire Protection), the system could operate for 96 minutes before
reaching capacity. This is without taking into consideration the drainage that will be
provided for this diked area so the time for this diked area to reach capacity will be even
greater.
Because there will be tanks not in compliance with the size limitations set out by the City
of Vernon, the proposal to mitigate the non -compliant tank size is to provide a fixed fire
protection system consisting of water monitor nozzles discharging foam solution in
accordance with NFPA 11 for Tank Farm B.
Justification:
In areas provided with diked barriers for secondary containment, the size of the fire is
not affected by additional fuel present after a spill. A flammable liquid fire is essentially 2
dimensional and is dependent on the surface area of the fuel. The dike boundaries make
this surface area constant so the dike area will, for the most part, experience the same
September 30, 2009
LSC Addition
Vernon, CA
AM&M Request
fire size (flame height, radiated heat; etc.) regardless of the amount of liquid beneath the
surface.
What is affected by the additional fuel is the duration in which the fire has the potential to
burn and the time that it will take for the liquid to drain from the diked area.
To mitigate this amended code deficiency and provide equivalency to the intent, a fixed
fire protection system consisting of water monitor nozzles discharging foam solution in
accordance with NFPA 11 will be provided for Tank Farm B.
Section 3404.2.9.1.1 requires a foam fire protection system when required by the fire
code official due to the amount of tanks and their proximity to each other. The foam fire
protection system for Tank Farm B will be provided regardless of whether of this is
required by the fire code official or not.
An additional mitigation is that the facility will begin to be manned 24 hours a day. This
will greatly decrease detection time should a fire incident occur at the facility.
It should also be noted that a City of Vernon Fire Department is located approximately
0.6 miles from the facility.
The presence of the fixed fire suppression system will allow onsite personnel the
capability to begin attacking a fire immediately The addition of personnel on site, 24
hours a day, will ensure that there is no lapse in the ability to provide early intervention
into a potential fire incident. This will allow greater time for the fire department to
respond, plan and mobilize before beginning their fire suppression efforts. Should a
delay in the beginning of their operations be necessary for any reason, the fixed fire
suppression system will mitigate and provide equivalency to the increased volume of
liquid at the facility by providing early intervention by onsite personnel.

letter. If you have any questions or comments regarding the information that has been

Exhibit A
The comparative study conducted in the letter was conducted using the Fire Dynamics
Simulator (FDS) developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST). FDS is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire -driven fluid flow.The
software solves numerically a form of the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low -
speed, thermally -driven flow with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires.
The intent of this analysis is to show a comparison of exposures based on the calculated
data when subjected to the same exposure fire. The three scenarios looked at are as
follows:
LSC25nw = the tank car is located 25 ft from the edge of the diked area and no
additional height is provided for the wall.
LSC 9 = the tank car is located 9 ft from the edge of the diked wall (11 feet to the above
ground tanks when 3 ft separation from wall is taken into account). The wall on the side
of the bulk transfer area is increased to 9 ft.
LSC 9nw = the tank car is located 9 ft from the edge of the diked wall and no additional
height is provided for the wall.
All three scenarios were conducted under the same conditions with only the distance of
the tank car and the addition or deletion of the added wall changed in each. Below
shows the LSC 9 scenario and will show the similarities between the models.
Model Information:
Cell size = 2ft x 2ft
Number of cells = 388,800
Default surface characteristic = concrete
Tank car surface characteristic = steel
Fuel characteristic = Heptane,
Time Duration = 60..Seconds
A boundary recording condition was selected for Heat Flux. In addition to this, a
thermocouple (TC) point measurement was also included for recording heat flux. The
graph provided in the letter is representative of this point source.

***NOTE***
The following slice file lines (SLCF) instruct FDS to record various gas phase
quantities on the
planes specified by PBX, PBY, or PBZ, which correspond to the planes X=PBX, y=PBY,
and
z=PBZ, respectively. The command QUANTITY='...' on each line tells FDS which
specific
value to record for that plane. Slice files may be viewed in Smokeview by selecting
Load/Unload >Slice file.
