Pala Mini Mart Re-Pipe
Jauregui & Culver, Inc. replaced the fuel piping for the Pala Mini-Mart. We phased the work so that at least one row of dispensers was operational during construction. We purged the fuel in the existing below ground piping back into the underground storage tanks (USTs) with pressurized nitrogen. The existing piping was abandoned in place after the fuel was removed.
We sawcut and removed the existing concrete and asphalt surfaces between the USTs and the dispensers as needed for the installation of the double wall fiber glass piping. We dug pipe trenches and gravel bedding materials required by the pipe manufacturer and to meet industry standards.
We performed pressure tests to all the new piping per industry standards. We purged the fuel into the new piping system and tested for proper operation, calibrated the dispensers, and replaced all dispenser fuel filters.
Fallbrook Village Aviation UST Removal
Two unknown tanks were discovered during development of this property. Jauregui & Culver removed two single-wall steel underground storage tanks approximated at 4,000 gallons each.
We furnished the San Diego Country Department of Environmental Health (DEH) and Fallbrook Fire Department UST Removal permits, including permit fees, permit application preparation, submission, and pick up. A one time California State EPA number was obtained as required for manifesting and disposal purposes. We washed the UST’s and degas as required by agency guidelines.
The UST’s and all wash stream was manifested and lawfully disposed of. Soil samples were taken and analyzed. Jauregui & Culver, Inc. will back-fill with material equal to the volume of the removed UST’s and back-fill the tank hole to subgrade.
University of San Diego Tank Removal
Jauregui & Culver, Inc. removed a 10,000 gallon underground storage tank from beneath one of the campus roadways. We furnished permits, testing, and environmental remediation. Additionally, the soil around the tank was found to be contaminated. Jauregui & Culver removed and disposed of the contaminated soil overburden in accordance to the county’s regulations.
