3.   Do they have the proper dam around them?   ALL of the tanks are within the facility building and within a containment dike that is of sufficient storage capacity to contain any release.
4.   Is all storage to be inside the structure?   As noted above, all of the tanks are within the facility building. 
5.   What are the tanks outside used for, have they been emptied and cleaned?   The exterior tanks are not in use, have been cleaned, and there valves have been locked or welded shut.

10. Can you provide a brief summary of the operation and who is in charge?   The operation would include the delivery of virgin products to the facility during normal business hours.  Cyn's "day trucks" would be filled from the tanks and leave to make routine deliveries.  The trucks would be parked at the facility at the end of the day as is currently done. 
11. Has the previous operation completely ceased working out of the building and ere the tanks cleaned?   Cyn purchased the property from Bean's Grease.  The Bean's Grease operation (manufacturing of biodiesel fuel) ceased with Cyn's purchase.  Following its purchase, Cyn emptied and cleaned all exterior and interior tanks (all tanks are currently empty).  Since Cyn's purchase, the facility has been used primarily for office space and vehicle parking.   
12. Have you contacted Eric Rowe the Fire Chief and discussed any of the materials that you plan on handling with him?   Cyn has not contacted the Fire Chief but will.  Cyn will provide additional information following that conversation.
