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.
CarMax Oxnard
Jauregui & Culver, Inc. provided submittals and drawings of the proposed fuel system necessary for CUPA, Fire Department, and Air Quality agency permitting. We furnished and installed a complete gasoline fuel system that included one 4,000 double wall fiber glass underground storage tank, fuel dispenser, below ground fueling, vapor return and tank vent piping, under dispenser containment, vent transition containment, an enhanced vapor recovery system, and a vapor root monitoring system. This required excavation, disposal of excavated soil, gravel back-fill materials meeting manufacturer specifications, crane, and back-filling operations. The new dispenser was calibrated and brought to compliance and Enhance Leak Detection was provided.
Carmax Escondido
Jauregui & Culver, Inc. installed a complete fuel system which included permits for San Diego County Environmental Health (DEH), San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) and City of Escondido fire department. a 4,000 gallon double wall fiber glass tank, fuel dispenser, and piping for the below-ground fuel, vapor return, and tank vent. Recovery (EVR) system and a Veeder Root monitoring system were also installed. Calibration for the new dispenser, and regulatory compliance Enhance Leak Detection (ELD) testing were also provided.
Rancho Cucamonga
Jauregui & Culver, Inc. removed four underground storage tanks and installed three above ground storage tanks below the existing canopy. Fuel piping, start up, permits, and environmental remediation were also provided.
Port of Long Beach
Jauregui & Culver, Inc. installed an above ground storage tank system, above ground gasoline storage tank system, diesel dispensing system, gasoline dispensing system, and petroleum monitoring system. We provided SCAQMD and fire department permits and approvals required for fueling systems, all required testing, start up and training. Rigging and hoisting were performed as required. Updates will be added as the work continues!
7-11 Cardiff-By-The-Sea
Jauregui & Culver, Inc. removed the existing fuel tanks at 7-11 Cardiff-by-the-Sea fuel station and replaced them. We provided permits, shoring, new dispensers, and a complete re-piping of the fuel lines. Environmental remediation was also provided.

Above Ground Storage Tank Upgrades 2013
In June of 2012, the state of California put forth the latest executive order with regard to above ground fuel storage tanks and vapor recovery. By now you may have received a fine or warning from the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) if your tank is not compliant with this order. We would like to offer our services to bring your tank to compliance, and prevent any further mishaps with APCD
California Air Resources Board (CARB) has seen fit to make a change to all above ground fuel tanks that contain gasoline. We hope the following information will help you understand the requirements better and decide when you need to upgrade to the new standards. You may have received notices from San Diego APCD about this (click here to see the letter). It is our hope to simplify the regulation as much as possible and to assist you in complying with the regulation.
What are the changes?
- Each above ground gasoline fuel tank of 250 gallons or more, single walled or double walled, retail or non-retail, regardless of throughput, must have or be painted with a CARB certified epoxy type paint to comply with the latest “standing loss” requirements no later than April 1, 2013.
- Each above ground gasoline fuel tank, described above, must have a Pressure/Vacuum Vent Valve approved by CARB. There is only one, the Husky 5885 P/V Vent Valve. These P/V vent valves must be installed no later than April 1, 2013.
- Technically, the above two items fall under CARB EO 301-D.
- San Diego APCD requires that ALL tanks that fall under the above conditions be permitted through San Diego APCD.
- San Diego APCD also requires that ALL tanks that currently have APCD permits under anything other than CARB EO 301-D, be re-permitted. (This includes most all gasoline above ground tanks that are currently permitted.)
- Phase I, the vapor recovery connection between the tank and the fuel truck, must be on ALL above ground gasoline tanks (retail = 260 gallons or more, non-retail = 550 gallons or more) no later than July 1, 2014.
Bottom Line: All above ground gasoline tanks must be re-permitted, have CARB approved paint, and a Husky 5885 P/V vent valve. Phase I is due no later than July 1, 2014. San Diego APCD is out-in-force to fine any tank owner who is not in compliance. We stand ready to handle it all; from permit, to painting, to equipment, and testing. Give us a call and relieve the stress of it all!
Terms and Acronyms:
CARB (California Air Resources Board) / APCD (Air Pollution Control District) / P/V (Pressure/Vacuum) / EO (Executive Order from CARB) / Standing Loss = the action of the gasoline vapors escaping from the tank through temperature increase from the atmosphere and loss through venting. / Phase I = vapor connection between the tank and fuel truck filling the tank. / Phase II = fuel nozzle and hose(s) which transfers the fuel into the vehicle and fuel vapors back to the fuel tank.
Sam’s Club El Monte #6614
Jauregui & Culver, Inc. installed a complete fuel system at Sam’s Club #6614 Bakersfield. We excavated and installed two 20,000 gallon 87 gasoline and one 20,000 gallon split 12,000/8,000 10′ diameter Xerxes Underground Storage Tanks (UST) and deadmen.
We installed Fiberglass, APT, and steel piping to compile the fueling system, including trenching and gravel back-fill. Two 3+1 gas/diesel dispensers and four 3+0 gas dispensers were installed, including the Under Dispenser Containment (UDC) basins, dispenser hanging hardware, and dispenser valance. Brine and vacuum tubing for the Veeder Root continuous monitoring and Pressure and Flow sensors in dispenser for the In Station Diagnostics (ISD). The Healy Clean Air Separator (CAS) was installed as part of the EVR II system.
We provided required Enhanced Leak Detection (ELD) testing of the fuel system at the conclusion of the installation of the fueling system and prior to opening. All fuel lines were purged and the dispensers and calibrated, completing this project.
