Scripps Memorial Hospital Tank Installation
Watch as our team flawlessly installs this UST at Scripps Memorial Hospital.
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.
SDG&E Phase II
Jauregui & Culver, Inc. installed fuel pumps and piping for back up generator system.
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.

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.
