HomeMy WebLinkAboutADEC Aboveground Storage Tank Operator Handbook 3rd Addition 10-2016-A1 Third Edition October 2016 Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Aboveground Storage Tank Operator Handbook 2 Oil spills are ugly, costly and can damage our health and the environment. Thousands of gallons of oil products are spilled every year from above ground tank facilities in Alaska. The majority of the spills are caused by operator error, poor operational practices, and inadequate or no periodic maintenance and inspections of tanks and piping. In order to reduce the number and size of spills at these facilities, operators should be trained in facility operations and maintenance, safety, spill prevention, spill response, reporting and clean up. This handbook is designed for Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) operators and should be used as a guidebook as well as a reference manual. In this handbook you will find: • Facilities = Tank Farms • Checklists for easy reference to inspect AST facilities, transfer fuel and prepare for and respond to spills. • Step by step procedures for maintaining and inspecting AST facilities, preventing oil spills, taking safety precautions, and preparing for and responding to oil spills • An explanation of government requirements relating to AST facilities • References and contacts for further information on AST facilities Introduction and Table of Contents 3 Section One - Facility Operations and Maintenance Page Aboveground Storage Tank Facilities……............................................. 8 Aboveground Storage Tanks…………………………………………... 10 Facility Piping…………………………………………………………. 12 Secondary Containment……………………………………………….. 13 Ancillary Equipment…………………………………………………... 15 Spill Prevention………………………………………………………... 16 Causes of Oil Spills at AST Facilities…………………………………. 17 Prevention Measures…………………………………………………... 19 AST Facility Maintenance…………………………………………….. 20 AST Facility Inspections………………………………………………. 23 Transfer Procedures……………………………………………………. 32 Inventory Control………………………………………………………. 38 Section Two – Safety Fire and Explosions…………………………………………………….. 43 General Facility Safety…………………………………………………. 43 Personal Safety…………………………………………………………. 44 First Aid………………………………………………………………… 45 Introduction and Table of Contents 4 Section 3 - Spill Preparedness Facility Analysis and Inspection…………………………………….. 49 Spill Response Equipment and Materials………………………. …... 51 Spill Response Equipment Checklist………………………………… 52 Operator Preparedness Training……………………………………… 54 Spill Response Plans…………………………………………………. 55 Community Spill Response Program……….……………………..…. 56 Example of a Response Container Inventory………………………… 57 Section Four - Spill Response and Reporting Detecting Oil Spills………………………………………………….. 61 Where Spills are Likely to Happen………………………………….. 62 Spill Response……………………………………………………….. 63 Spill Reporting………………………………………………………. 69 Spill Response Checklist……………………………………………. 70 Section Five - Government Requirements State and Federal Regulatory Overview…………………………….. 73 Environmental Protection Agency…………………………………... 75 United States Coast Guard…………………………………………... 79 Alaska Department of Public Safety Fire Marshall…………………. 81 Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation………………... 82 Introduction and Table of Contents 5 Appendix A - Industry Standards Industry Standards General Information………………………… A-2 Addresses for Industry Standards………………………………… A-3 Industry Standards for Facility Piping…………………………… A-5 Industry Standards for Tank Design and Construction…………...

Facilities will have a means to receive and dispense fuel including marine header systems, tank truck loading areas and vehicle fuel dispensing systems. These facilities are used to store fuel that will be dispensed on site, delivered to outside customers or transferred to another location such as day tanks at electric generating facilities. This manual is directed toward AST facilities that are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) but not necessarily by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). The EPA regulates any facility that has a storage capacity of 1,320 gallons or more. ADEC regulates facilities that have a total capacity of 210,000 gallons of crude oil or 420,000 gallons of non-crude petroleum products. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 9 Typical facility lay out and components. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 10 Aboveground Storage Tanks • Aboveground Storage Tanks come in many different sizes and shapes • Most ASTs have cylindrical sides (or shells) and flat tops and bottoms. Tanks will either be set vertically (or on end) or horizontally (on its side). • Most ASTs are constructed of steel. Older tanks will sometimes have rivets or bolted seams. Newer tanks have welded seams. Some small tanks will be made from fiberglass reinforced plastic. • Fuel storage tanks must be vented so fumes can escape during deliveries and for air to enter the tanks while dispensing fuels. Proper venting reduces the potential for ruptures and collapse. • ASTs should have cathodic protection such as sacrificial anodes if the tank bottom is in contact with the soil. Cathodic protection reduces corrosion. • To reduce the chances of external corrosion, tanks should be placed on a pad, foundation or supports instead of directly on the ground. • Tanks should be painted with a light colored corrosion inhibitor paint and kept rust free • Tanks should be labeled as to contents, size, last internal inspection, safe gauge height and year built • Tanks must have overfill protection, such as direct vision gauges, high level liquid alarms, flow restrictions or high level liquid shut off devices • See Appendix A for additional technical information SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 11 Aboveground Storage Tanks – common features SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 12 AST Facility Piping Piping is used to transfer fuel from the delivery source, such as barges or trucks to the ASTs at the facility (transfer or fill piping), between tanks and dispensing pump (manifold piping) and from facility tanks to other associated tanks and other sources (distribution piping). Following is some basic information regarding facility piping: • Pipes should be constructed of steel and the joints welded. • Pipes are required to be inspected and maintained according to a recognized industrial standard. • Pipes are buried or above ground. Above ground piping should be adequately supported off the ground and protected from damage by moving trucks and snowmobiles as well as falling snow and ice from the tanks. Underground pipe should be wrapped or coated to prevent corrosion. • Valves control the flow of oil between tanks and other tanks, delivery barges and other sources. The most common types of valves are ball valves and gate valves. • Using a single common transfer piping for different products is a common practice. • The U.S. Coast Guard requires transfer piping and flexible hosing to be hydro- statically tested annually and marked with the date of the test. Water should be used for this test at 1.5 times the allowable pressure. Since this is not always practical, product or air is often used. If product or air is used, the owner/operator must request in writing permission to do so from the U. S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port. • Appendix A contains additional technical information SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 13 Secondary Containment The purpose of secondary containment is to prevent petroleum products from flowing onto the lands or into the water should there be a spill at an AST facility. Spill containment measures, including secondary containment, are required by the Environmental Protection agency (EPA) at AST facilities as well as in areas of fuel transfer from tank trucks. Secondary containment: • Must be large, high and strong enough to hold the entire contents of the largest tank plus 10% for local precipitation. • Must be constructed or lined with material that will hold petroleum products and prevent them from seeping into the ground. • The liner should be covered with sand or gravel to prevent ripping and to provide protection from the weather. • Double wall and self-diked above ground tanks are not required to be located within a secondary containment area provided they have a high level liquid alarm and a flow restrictor or automatic shut off device. • References for additional technical information can be found in Appendix A Self-Diked ASTs SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATONS AND MAINTENANCE 14 Secondary Containment Care should be taken to insure any penetrations of the secondary containment wall because of pipes or any other reasons are sealed to prevent a path for petroleum products to outside the secondary containment area. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 15 Ancillary Equipment Aside from major components of an aboveground storage tank facility, additional items and equipment are required. Following is a list of ancillary equipment; • Fencing: AST facilities must have fences and gates that can be locked. The purpose of the fence is to keep unauthorized people and animals out to prevent damage and vandalism. • Lighting: AST facilities must have sufficient lighting to prevent vandalism and to detect spills at night • Facility Signs: “No Smoking” and “No Open Flames” signs must be posted around the facility so they can be seen from every side of the tank farm. “Danger”, “Warning”, or “Authorized Personnel Only” signs must be posted to warn unauthorized individuals from entering the facility. • Tank Signs: Tanks more than 100 gallons of capacity are required to bear a label and placard identifying the contents of the tank. “Danger – Flammable Liquids” should also be posted on the tank shell. • Fire Extinguishers: Fire extinguishers of the correct type for the product stored in the facility and in sufficient numbers and locations are required within the facility SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 16 Spill Prevention There are many reasons for preventing oil from leaking or spilling onto the ground or into the waters of the state. Some basic reasons for preventing oil spills are: • Reduces potential for health problems • Reduces risks to the environment and contamination of drinking water • Saves money from lost product, fines and clean-up costs • Saves reputations Every drop of oil spilled has an adverse impact on the environment and costs money. The following table illustrates the monetary impact of even a small leak. OIL LOSS BY DRIPS AND DROPS 1 drop=11/64 inch diameter 1.8 tons per cubic yard of soil RATE GAL./YEAR Cost @ $4.00/gal CONTAMINATED SOIL CONTAMINATED SOIL 1 Drop/10 Seconds 40 $160.00 150 Tons 270 yd3 1 Drop/5 Seconds 80 $320.00 300 Tons 540 yd3 1 Drop/Second 410 $1640.00 1,500 Tons 2,700 yd3 3 Drops/Second 1,200 $4,800.00 4,500 Tons 8,100 yd3 Stream that breaks into drops 8,600 $34,400.00 32,000 Tons 57,600 yd3 SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 17 Causes of Oil Spills at AST Facilities Spills and leaks happen at Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) facilities for several reasons. Some of these reasons are: Operator Error • Tanks overfilled • Valves left open • Poor transfer procedures • Potential problems not recognized • Poor maintenance practices Poorly Designed or Improperly Installed Facilities • Inadequate security – Vehicular traffic, children or vandals accessing the restricted area • Facility located in flood zone or avalanche zone or another area where natural disasters are likely to effect the facility • Falling snow and ice from tanks impact the piping Storage Tank Problems • Tank design and construction • Inadequate foundation or tanks sitting directly on the ground • Tank bottom and seams rusted, shell pitted, weeping or leaking • Improper venting • Inadequate inspection and maintenance program SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 18 Causes of Oil spills at AST Facilities (continued) Facility Piping Problems • Piping installed without considering the traffic area. • Pipes have threaded joints instead of welded joints. • Inadequate pipe supports – sagging pipe is prone to cracking, especially at threaded joints. • Valves are not in good working order or are corroded. • Pipe is lying directly on the ground – easily damaged. • Pipe is lying directly on acidic soil which increases corrosion. • Flex piping • Pipes are not hydrostatically tested annually Secondary Containment Problems • No dikes or secondary containment around the tank farm • Inadequate secondary containment – should be able to hold the contents of the largest tank plus at least 10% to account for local precipitation. • Containment is unable to hold the spilled product. • There are holes or low areas in the dikes • Water is pooled within the secondary containment area • There are holes and rips in the liner SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 19 Prevention Measures Spill Prevention Measures- Oil spills at AST facilities can be prevented. Following are some basic prevention measures: • Note: “There is no such thing as a leak too small to fix” • Train employees annually in correct operating procedures, transfer procedures and spill prevention, preparedness and response • Absolutely no alcohol or drugs at the facility • Adopt a product inventory program and reconcile product and inventory data on a regular basis • Establish and adhere to regular maintenance schedules • Conduct routine standardized inspections, record inspection findings and take follow-up corrective actions • Plan and design facility to recognized industry standards (Appendix A) • Take pride and responsibility for your AST facility SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 20 AST Facility Maintenance Routine inspections and maintenance are the two most important factors in preventing oil spills and leaks at AST facilities. Inspections are covered on Pages 23-31. General AST facility maintenance: should include the following: • Good housekeeping: It is essential that the entire AST facility be kept clean and free of unnecessary items. An AST facility is designed to store petroleum products so only items that are directly related to the operation of the facility should be stored there. • Safety: Fire extinguishers must be the correct type for the product stored. Extinguishers must be kept pressurized and should be shaken once a month to insure proper operations. All other safety equipment must be in good working order. • Security: AST facilities must be secured when unattended. Any holes in the fence, missing or inoperable locks on gates or burned out light bulbs should be repaired or replaced as soon as the deficiency is found. Aboveground storage tanks: Keep ASTs maintained and in good condition. • Above ground storage tanks must be maintained and inspected to a nationally recognized industrial standard. • Follow manufacturer instructions and/or industrial standards for maintaining vents, overfill devices, gauges, corrosion protection, water drains and other items associated with the tanks. • Keep tanks painted in a light color to minimize fuel expansion and to reduce corrosion and tank disintegration. • Repair tanks as soon as a problem is discovered. • Make sure signs on tanks are visible and legible. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 21 AST Facility Maintenance (continued) • Facility piping must be maintained and inspected to a nationally recognized industrial standard. • Follow manufacturer’s instructions and/or industrial standards for maintaining valves and corrosion protection devices. • Change filters on a regular basis using set procedures. • Hydrostatically test transfer piping annually. Use water and hold it at 1.5 times the normal operating pressure. If using water is not feasible, approval from the U.S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port is required to use air or product for the test. • Rewrap or repaint pipes when the coating, wrapping or paint is wearing through or chipping. • Repair or replace valves and/or pipes as soon as possible after a problem is discovered. • Replace threaded pipe with welded pipe whenever possible. • Protect piping from traffic. Secondary containment: Keep the secondary containment area clear of debris, unnecessary items, snow, ice and standing water. • Remove snow taking care not to tear the liner. If shoveling the entire area is not feasible, keep the area around the tanks and piping clear. • Remove water, if a sheen is visible, put water through an oil water separator, or other treatment, not directly into the environment. • Remove vegetation, keep weeds, willows and other trees out of the secondary containment area; roots will damage the liner. • If tears or rips in the liners are discovered, repair them as soon as possible. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 22 AST Facility Maintenance (continued) Spill preparedness and response: Keep response equipment accessible and in good working order. • If emergency pumps and/or skimmers are kept at the site, start them up at least once a month. Ensure the fittings of the proper type and sizes are readily available • Response equipment and material must be dedicated for a response and kept readily available, easy to get at and in good condition. Recordkeeping: Records of all activities pertaining to the facility should be kept on location. These include but are not limited to: • Copies of inspections o Operator inspections o Government inspections o AST inspection reports • Maintenance records o Any major work done at the facility or on the tanks o Annual hydrostatic test results o As-built facility plans • Operator training reports • Reports of oil spills at the facility o Where the spill occurred o When the spill occurred o Amount spilled o Clean up and disposal records • Fuel inventory records • Government required records to include: o Spill Prevention and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans (EPA) o Facility Response Plans (EPA, USCG) o Letter of Intent to Operate (USCG) o Operation Manual (USCG) o Declaration of Inspection (USCG) o Spill Notification Placard (ADEC) SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 23 AST Facility Inspections An aboveground storage tank facility inspection is one of the best means of preventing oil spills and leaks from occurring and minimizes the size of a spill or leak should one occur. Inspections should be conducted on a regular basis in a standardized way. At manned facilities, informal inspections should be done on a daily basis (noting overall facility condition) when the operator walks through to open and close the facility. A more formal and thorough inspection should be completed monthly. Inspectors: Inspectors must be knowledgeable of facility components, operations, spill prevention, preparedness and response, and government regulations. How to conduct inspections: When conducting the more formal and thorough inspection, the inspector should use the following protocol: • Use a checklist to make sure all important areas are covered. An AST Facility Inspection Form, which may be copied for your use is included on pages 29-31. This form may be revised to meet the needs of the individual AST facility. • Complete the inspection form, writing down findings and conditions and be sure to initial, date and sign the form where indicated. o Follow up on findings o Fix deficiencies o Report significant problems to higher management The inspection: The following is a detailed description of what to look for in routine, monthly AST facility inspections: • Housekeeping: Is the facility clean and clear of unnecessary items? It is important to keep facilities clean and free of unnecessary items because clutter would hinder clean up in the event of a leak or spill; large items such as drums, lumber and other objects can break pipes, dent tanks and provide homes for unwanted animals. Poor housekeeping is a sign of negligence and shows a lack of concern for the facility. • Safety: Is all the safety equipment in place and all safety precautions followed? Safety at AST facilities is of utmost importance and can save lives, prevent injuries and protect property and the environment. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 24 AST Facility Inspections (continued) o Fire extinguishers: There should be an adequate number of fire extinguishers in logical, appropriate locations. Fire extinguishers must be the proper type for the product stored. Extinguishers should be maintained in top notch condition, meaning they should be pressurized and workable. Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OHSA) requires extinguishers to be inspected monthly for charge. OSHA also requires all facility operators to be trained on their use. Prominent signs showing the locations of the extinguishers should be posted. o No Smoking signs: “No Smoking” or “No Smoking Permitted” signs should be posted in strategic locations within the facility. o Danger and Warning signs: Individuals entering the facility should be warned of potential dangers. Signs restricting entry to authorized persons should be posted in visible locations. Other signs such as “Danger Flammable Liquids” should also be posted. • Security: AST facility owners and operators should employ security measures to prevent vandals, unwanted individuals and animals from entering the tank farm. Aside from damage unwanted individuals may cause, there are liability issues to consider. o Fencing: Is there a fence around the facility? The fence must be intact and the gates must be locked when unattended. o Lighting: Does the facility have a lighting system? Lighting is important so workers can see their way around the facility and to keep intruders out. Lights should provide adequate illumination and be in good working order. • Aboveground Storage Tanks: Aboveground storage tanks are the most important component of an AST facility. They should be maintained in good working condition. This applies to all tanks, including “day tanks” as well as major storage tanks. o Soundness: Are there any visible leaks or drips from the tanks? Are there stains on the ground around the base of the tank? Checks seams and welds and around the bottom to shell seams. All leaks must be stopped and repairs made. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 25 AST Facility Inspections (continued) o Corrosion protection: Are there any signs of rust? Again, look around the tank welds, shell seams and the bottom to shells seams. If using sacrificial metals, make sure there is sufficient metal left. If using impressed current, make sure the proper amount of electricity is flowing. o Tank signs: Each tank should be labeled with the name of the product stored (diesel, gasoline, etc.) and the storage capacity in gallons. There should also be a sign showing it is a flammable or combustible product. o Vents: Check to make sure the vents are clear and there is no debris, snow or ice plugging them. o Paint: Paint protects the tank from exposure to the elements and reduces corrosion. Check for peeling, blistering or chipping. o Foundation: Is the foundation in good condition? If beams are used, are they cracked or rotten. It the foundation even? Are there signs the foundation is washing out or damaged in other ways? o Gauges and overfill devices: Check to make sure gauges are working and test overfill alarms and shut-off devices. • Piping and hoses: Many leaks in tank farms come from piping. It is very important to maintain piping in good working order. o Soundness: Are there any drips, leaks or visible stains around the pipes or hoses? Look around and under valves, filters and connections. o Corrosion protection: Are there signs of rust on the piping? Look around the valves, connections and fittings. If using sacrificial metals make sure there is sufficient metal and if using impressed current, make sure the proper amount of electricity is flowing. o Support: Are pipe supports adequate and in good condition? Check for sagging and cracking pipes due to insufficient support and rusting or rotting pipe supports. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 26 AST Facility Inspections (continued) o Nozzles: Are there any signs of rust or leaks from the nozzles? Can they be turned off completely to stop the flow of product? o Valves: Are there any signs of leaks from the valves? Can the valves be turned completely on and off to stop product flow? Are the valves protected from falling ice and snow, vehicle and foot traffic? o Pipes: Are pipes protected from falling ice and snow and from vehicular and foot traffic? o Coating, wrapping and paint: If the pipes are coated, wrapped or painted, check for wear, tears and chipping. • Secondary containment: The purpose of secondary containment is to hold any product should there be a spill. It is important that this area be of sufficient size and have the ability to hold spilled oil. o Size: Is the secondary containment area large enough to hold the shell capacity of the largest tank plus at least 10% for local precipitation? o Clear of water, snow, ice and vegetation: Is the secondary containment clear of standing water, ice and snow? If water or ice is in the containment area, there could be run over if a tank failed. Snow could hide leaked or spilled product and vegetation could damage liner material and hamper clean up. o Liner soundness: Is the secondary containment area lined with a synthetic liner? Is the liner in good condition or are there any rips, tears or non- essential holes in it? If the liner is not sound, it will not hold spilled product. (Note: if the liner is holding rainwater, it is probably in good condition and needs to be drained.) • Spill prevention and response: It is important to be prepared should a spill occur. Quick response can reduce the amount of oil spill thus reducing health and environmental damage and saving money. o Response plan: Does the facility have a response plan and is it located at the facility? Each facility must have plans to deal with emergencies and all the facility operators and workers should be familiar with them. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 27 AST Facility Inspections (continued) o Response equipment: Is the response equipment located at the site and is it in good working order? Do operators know how to use it? A minimum amount of oil spill response equipment should be located in specific areas of the facility and operators should know where it is located and how to use it. • Government requirements: Various state and federal agencies have requirements pertaining to AST facilities. Owners and operators should be familiar with regulations that apply to their facilities. o The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC): Requires that a discharge notification placard be displayed in conspicuous locations. These placards include ADEC phone numbers and where to report spills. The placards are available printed from DEC on request or via download from their website: http://dec.alaska.gov/ When inspecting the facility make sure the signs are posted. o The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Requires AST facilities to have a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC). Some facilities will also need a Facility Response Plan (FRP). Both plans must contain specific information. In the case of the SPCC, the document is certified by a registered professional engineer and must be signed by facility management indicating acceptance and implementation. When inspecting the facility, check to see if a current copy of the required plan is located there. o The United States Coast Guard (USCG): Requires facilities that receive fuel from barges or tankers to submit a Letter of Intent to Operate and have an Operations Manual and Facility Response Plan. When conducting the facility inspection, check for current copies of these documents. The USCG also requires safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, “Smoking Prohibited” signs, and response equipment and material to be located at the facility. • Other: During the inspection, list any other abnormalities or deficiencies noticed. Save the inspection reports and correct any problems as soon as possible. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 28 AST Facility Inspections (continued) Tank inspections: Aside from routine facility inspections, it is a good practice to inspect ASTs on a regular basis. ASTs must be maintained and inspected to a recognized national standard. There are two primary inspection standards depending on the tank. For horizontal tanks that were built in a shop and then transported to the facility, the Steel Tank Institute Standard SP-001 is the primary standard to use. For conventional vertical tanks built on site, the American Petroleum Institute Standard, API 653, may be the best choice. These standards are designed for certified inspectors to follow for comprehensive AST periodic internal and external inspections. Each standard has set inspection intervals based on the size, configuration of the tank and the prior inspection results. These intervals should be followed. More frequent or additional inspections should be considered if there is evidence of a leak, changes in the tank are evident or any other reason why the operator believes an internal inspection is needed. Facility operators are not expected to conduct such rigorous inspections. Many problems or potential problems can be identified with the simple AST inspection outlined in the inspection checklist on page 29-31. However with training and certification for “HAZWOPER” and “confined space entry”, operators can conduct cursory internal inspections. For these inspections, tanks should be emptied and cleaned and the inside examined for holes and corrosion. Only trained and experienced persons should conduct internal inspections. Under no circumstances should anyone else enter the tank.

Spill often occur during transfers, especially if procedures are either not clear or not being followed. Although some transfer procedures are unique to each facility, there are some general procedures that should be followed. 1. Before beginning a transfer: a. Check the fuel level of the receiving tank to determine how much product it can take. It is important to determine a Safe Gauge Height (SGH), that is, how much fuel the tank can safely hold allowing for expansion due to temperature variations. A rule of thumb the SGH should not be over 90% in the summer and not over 95% in the winter. In order to determine the SGH one must know the tank’s storage, or shell, capacity and how to properly gauge the tank. These topics are discussed in the inventory control section. b. Walk the pipeline or hose to check for visible leaks, cracks, or damage to the pipe or hose. Put drip pans under hose connections and under any drips or leaks along the transfer system. c. Check valve position at the manifold and at the tank. Make sure valves that should be closed are closed and valves that should be open are open. It is important to make sure valves are in the proper position so that product will only go to the targeted tank. d. Have a pre-transfer meeting with the barge operators and facility operators. The USCG requires this meeting and for the parties to go over and sign a Declaration of Inspection (DOI). Procedures that will be used during the transfer are included in the DOI. An example DOI is included in this section (Page 35-36). e. Determine how much fuel is above the receiving pipe inside the tank. If there is less than a foot of fuel above the receiving pipe, transfer fuel at a reduced rate until at least one foot of fuel is covering the pipe. This will reduce the potential for explosions caused by static electricity that may be generated when fuel is pumped into the tank at a high rate. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 33 Transfer Procedures (continued) 2. During the transfer: a. Begin the transfer at a reduced rate until you are sure the product is going into the correct tanks and that are no major problems or leaks. b. DO NOT WALK AWAY DURING A TRANSFER. Make sure an operator is at the site during the entire transfer. Several spills have occurred at AST facilities because the operator did not follow this rule. Since transfers occur at various rates depending on equipment, operators must be patient. c. At all times keep communications open between the barge operators and the facility operators. Use intrinsically safe hand held radios for communications. d. Check tank levels at regular intervals. Increase the frequency of the check as the tank fills. e. Reduce the transfer rates when nearing the SGH to avoid overfilling the tank. f. Notify the barge tanker man when the transfer procedure is almost complete. That way the barge pumps can be shut down before the shore facilities are. If tank valves are closed first, high pressure in the lines may cause a “hydraulic hammer” to occur which could cause a spill to happen. 3. When the transfer is complete: a. Close the correct valves at the manifold and tank. b. Conduct a post-transfer meeting between the barge and the facility operators and sign off on the DOI. c. Dip tanks: Wait 6-24 hours then dip the tanks and check for water levels at the bottom of the tanks. The reason for waiting to dip the tanks is so the fuel will have a chance to settle down and any water will settle to the bottom of the tanks. The reading will be more accurate. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 34 Transfer Procedure Checklist BEFORE THE TRANSFER BEGINS  Determine the Safe Gauge Height (SGH) and check product level in receiving tanks.  Walk pipeline checking for damage or drips and leaks.  Put drip pans under hose connections.  Check valve positions.  Meet with the barge operator and go over the DOI.  Insure communication methods between shore and the barge are functional. DURING TRANSFER  Begin transfer at a reduced rate.  Remain at site during the entire transfer and walk the transfer line.  Keep communications between operators on the barge and at the facility, use a hand held intrinsically safe radio or similar device.  Periodically check the product level in the tank.  Let the barge operator know when the transfer is almost complete.  Turn off barge pumps before closing tanks valves. AFTER TRANSFER  Make sure the valves are closed.  Meet with the barge operator and sign off on the DOI.  Wait 6-24 hours then dip tanks and check for water at the bottom of the tanks. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 35 Declaration of Inspection Form Declaration of Inspection Form Date: Time: Location: RECEIVING UNIT DELIVERING UNIT Federal regulations require the following inspections and activities to be executed by the person in charge (PIC) of a fuel transfer. Deliverer Receiver 1. RED WARNING SIGNS AND SIGNALS must be displayed and visible from all points around the vessel. At night, when transferring at anchor a red light will not be displayed. 2. FIRES, FLAMES, SMOKING AND MATCHES, if permitted, must be managed so vapors do not reach cargo. Smoking areas must be designated, inspected and safe. 3.

This includes:  Dip the receiving tank or tanker truck before beginning the transfer.  Check all fittings and hose connections, putting drip pans or absorbent pads at hose connections.  Use grounding cable when appropriate.  Begin the transfer at a reduced rate.  Stay at the site during the entire transfer.  Measure the receiving tank when the transfer is complete. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 38 Inventory Control Safe Gauge Height – Safe Gauge Height (SGH), once the tank’s total storage (shell) capacity has been determined, the SGH should be determined and stenciled on the tank, usually near the gauging port and the side of the tank. • In summer the SGH is usually 90% of the tanks total storage capacity. This allows room for expansion due to heat and space for fuel that is blown through the lines when clearing them. • In winter the SGH is usually 95% of the tanks total storage capacity to allow fuel that is blown through the lines when clearing them as well as room for expansion. • Tanks should NOT be filled over the SGH. Tank Gauging – Gauging product levels in the tank is critical for keeping accurate material inventory. • Each tank should be equipped with a roof mounted gauge hatch which should be vapor tight. • Manual gauge readings are taken with a tape and plumb bob. o Use dark tapes to measure clear liquids such as diesel and light colored tapes to measure heavy fuels and crude oil. o Before taking measurements, check the tape for cracks and make sure the printing is legible o Be sure to ground the tape before dropping the bob into the tank and drop the bob slowly. o Always dip the tank until you get the same reading twice. o When dipping the tank, check the water level at the bottom of the tank. SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 39 Inventory Control (continued) Inventory control is important to make sure you are not losing any fuel from leaks in the system, to make sure you are getting the fuel you are purchasing and to make sure your customers are getting the fuel they purchase. Inventory figures that do not reconcile indicate a problem somewhere in the system. In large facilities inventory data is recorded daily and reconciled monthly. In smaller facilities this isn’t always practical but inventory data should be recorded and reconciled on a very regular basis. Always check tank levels before filling a tank to prevent overfill. In order to monitor product inventory, you must know the storage capacity of your tanks and how many gallons per inch the tank can hold. When a tank is purchased from a manufacturer, you will be told the storage capacity. However, often the storage capacity of older tanks is not known and must be calculated. Following are the formulas for determining the storage capacity of cylindrical storage tanks and an example of determining the capacity using the formulas shown. Calculating volume and storage capacities r = radius (ft) ׀----r-------׀ D = diameter (ft) ׀------------D-----------׀ H = Height (ft) ____ C = Circumference (ft) A = Area or base (ft2) V = Volume (ft3) H ft = feet C ft2 = square feet ft3 = cubic feet pi (π) = 3.14 ____ r = C/2π A = π x r2 V = H x A Tank Capacity = Tank volume x 7.48 gallons/per ft3 (Conversion factor: 7.48 gallons/ft3) SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 40 Inventory Control Calculation Example Example: You have an AST and want to determine the storage capacity as well as how many gallons of fuel per inch the tank can hold. First you measure the circumference (C) and the Height (H) and find that: C = 42ft and H = 12ft Next determine the radius (r): C/2π or 42 ft/(2x3.14) = 6.69 ft Find the base area (A): A=πr2 or 3.14 x (6.69ft) = 140.5 ft2 Next find the tank volume (V): V=A x H or 140.5 ft2 x 12ft = 1686 ft3 Convert cubic feet to gallons: V x gal/ft3 or 1686 ft3 x 7.48 gal/ft3= 12611.28 gal Find the gallons per foot: Capacity/H or 12611.28/12ft = 1050.94 gal/ft Find the gallons per inch: Gallons/ft or 1050.94 gal/ft = 87.58 gal/in 12 in/ft 12 in/ft Diameter = 13.37 ft Radius = 6.68 ft c Height = 12 ft Circumference = 42 ft Capacity = 12611.28 gallons Area of base = 140.5 ft2 SECTION 1-FACILITY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE 41 SECTION TWO SAFETY 42 Section Two Table of Contents Page Fire and Explosions…………………………………………………………. 44 General Facility Safety……………………………………………………… 44 Personal Safety……………………………………………………………… 45 First Aid……………………………………………………………………... 46 SECTION 2-SAFETY 43 AST facilities have several potential hazards. Operators should know what safety measures to take to avoid accidents and injuries from these hazards. Examples of hazards and safety measures follow. 1. Fire and Explosions – petroleum products are flammable and some are explosives. Extra care should be taken when transferring products due to potential vapors. a. Fire Protection o Design and build facilities with safety in mind and in compliance with applicable fire and building codes. Facility plans should be reviewed and approved by the State Fire Marshall. o Make sure fire extinguishers are the proper type and located in strategic places. Keep them in good working order and inspect them monthly for charge and pressure. Document the inspection. o No Smoking in AST facilities. Post signs stating this rule throughout the facility in conspicuous places. o No Open Flames or potential spark sources at AST facilities. o Do not store nonessential items and material such as empty gas cans, jerry jugs, rags and other items that can start or spread a fire. b. Hazard Communication Safety Data Sheets o Hazard Communication Safety Data Sheets (SDS) (formally known as Material Safety Data Sheets (or MSDS) are kept on site for each product stored at the facility. Employees should know their locations and the hazards of each product. (See Appendix B) 2. General Facility Safety a. Clearly spell out operating and safety procedures. b. Maintain open communications within the facility and with local emergency services. c. Maintain safety equipment in good working order o Tank overfill devices and warning devices. SECTION 2-SAFETY 44 o Emergency shutoff switches and their locations clearly marked. o Shutoff valves and their locations clearly marked d. Keep all unauthorized people out of the facility unless escorted by facility employees 3. Personal Safety o Wear safety toed shoes. o Wear eye protection when appropriate. o Wear hearing protection when appropriate. o Wear gloves when working in cold temperatures or when handling materials or objects that may cause injury. o Keep walkways and stairs free of ice and debris to avoid trips and falls. o Do NOT enter storage tanks unless you have had the proper training. o Do not drink alcohol when on duty SECTION 2 - SAFETY 45 4. First Aid – quick response to accidents can save lives and prevent serious injuries. It is a good idea for AST facility operators to have basic first aid training. a. First aid training should include basic emergency response and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). o Facility personnel should know the location of first aid kits and be familiar with their contents b. Some basic first aid response for fuel incidents include: o Vapor inhalation – move to fresh air immediately o Skin contact with fuel – remove effected clothing and wash skin with clean water o Eye contact with fuel – flush with clean water and seek medical help o Ingestion of fuel – do NOT induce vomiting, seek immediate medical help o SDSs for gasoline and diesel are in Appendix B SECTION 2 - SAFETY 46 SECTION 2 - SAFETY 47 SECTION THREE SPILL PREPAREDNESS 48 Section Three Table of Contents Facility Analysis and Inspection……………………………………………. 50 Spill Response Equipment and Materials…………………………………... 52 Spill Response Equipment Checklist……………………………………….. 53 Spill Response Materials Checklist…………………………………………. 54 Operator Preparedness Training…………………………………………….. 55 Spill Response Plans………………………………………………………… 56 Community Spill Response Program…..…………………………………… 57 Example Response Container Inventory…………………………………….. 58 SECTION 3 – SPILL PREPAREDNESS 49 Facility Analysis and Inspection Review your facility to identify areas and activities most likely to have a spill. Consider: • Amount and type of product stored. • Normal patterns of fuel usage such as distribution, transfers, etc. • Direction spilled oil would flow. • Sensitive areas to protect in the case of a spill. Make a detailed labeled diagram identifying high risk locations and areas where activities such as fuel transfer and distribution occur. Also mark areas most susceptible to damage. The diagram should include but is not limited to: • All tanks to include bulk and day tanks • Piping including valves and headers • Secondary containment area • All buildings, fences, lights and location of fire extinguishers • Dispensing areas • Environmentally sensitive areas • Emergency shut-off switches • Spill flow paths SECTION 3 – SPILL PREPAREDNESS 50 gate light Gate Gasoline transfer line Diesel transfer line line Dike wall Liner 6 ft fence w/barbed wire Fire extinguishers Creek SECTION 3 – SPILL PREPAREDNESS Unleaded gasoline 10,000 gal Unleaded gasoline 10,000 gal Gasoline 4,500 gal ------------ Diesel 4,500 gal Diesel 8000 Barrel Pump house 200 yards to marine headers Diesel 8000 Barrel Diesel 7,000 Barrel Diesel 7,000 Barrel Diesel 15,000 Barrels Diesel 14,000 Barrels 51 Spill Response Equipment and Materials Your facility review will help you to prepare for spills. The size, location, type of spill, and whether a spill is to land or water will determine the response equipment you should have on hand as well as the spill response training necessary to respond to spills at the facility. The following are examples of materials to have on hand and measures to take to reduce the impact in the event a spill occurs. Spill response materials and equipment should be placed in secure but readily accessible locations near potential spill areas. Spill type Preparedness materials and measures Spills to land sorbent pads, sorbent boom, picks, shovels, heavy-duty large trash bags Spills to water skirted boom, boats, anchors and rope, skimmers, sorbent boom Spills during fuel transfer catchment basins, booms and sorbent pads Spills from leaks in the system sorbent pads, drip pans, catchment basins, repair and patch materials Spill Response Equipment and Materials Checklist • Below are lists of basic equipment and materials that should be kept on hand and readily available to respond to spills. • These lists are basic and should be modified for each individual facility All employees should know the location of all spill response equipment and materials and know how to use the equipment and materials in the case of a spill.

It is recommended that facilities develop written training plans for each of their operators. Areas of spill preparedness training include: • Operations: Operators must be qualified and competent for conducting normal routine operations. • Inspections: Operators must be familiar with the facility and its operations. This will enable him/her to conduct regular inspections and be able to recognize problems. • Maintenance: Operators must be qualified to perform regular preventive maintenance. When necessary, a specialist should be called in. • Spill preparedness: Operators must be trained in procedures for storage, maintenance, inspection and periodic testing of oil spill response equipment and materials. • Spill Response: Operators must be trained in deployment of spill response equipment and materials, safety, first aid, spill reporting, and response actions. They should participate in, at a minimum, annual drills. • Hazardous Material Handling (HAZMAT): Operators must be trained in safety, be aware of potential hazards and proper fuel handling procedures. • First Aid/Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): Operators should have basic first aid training with emphasis on identifying and responding to health emergencies due to fuel exposure. It is a good idea for operators to know CPR. SECTION 3 – SPILL PREPAREDNESS 55 Spill Response Plans Facility spill response plans should be working documents. Operators and responders should be familiar with their location and contents. These plans should: • List who, along with telephone numbers, to notify of a spill or call for help. • Describe the actions to be taken in the event of a spill. • Deployment strategies for spill response equipment and materials. • Discuss the protection of critical and sensitive areas. • Describe the recovery of spilled product. • Describe the proper management of recovered product and contaminated soil and other materials such as sorbents. • Discuss safety considerations. See Appendix D for an example of a Spill Response Plan. SECTION 3 – SPILL PREPAREDNESS 56 Community Spill Response Program The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) provides immediate response capability in many villages and communities in Alaska. This service is available because of partnership agreements with local communities, spill response cooperatives and response action contractors. The intent of the agreements is to give local communities and villages the ability for immediate spill response. This is necessary to immediately contain and control releases to reduce the impact on public health and the environment as other responders or resources are traveling to the site. These agreements include stationing response packages in specified areas and providing training to local responders in equipment use. Each response package is under the control of the State On-Scene Coordinator for the area in which it is located. Packages include spill response material and equipment for the types of hazards that exist in the area. An example of a spill response container inventory is included at the end of this section. In the event of a spill, the situation will be assessed and the response managed by ADEC area staff or by personnel responsible under a “Local Response Agreement.” More information concerning the Community Spill Response Program can be found here: http://dec.alaska.gov/spar/ppr/local_resp.htm For more information contact: Steve Russell Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation 43335 Kalifornsky Beach Rd Soldotna, AK 99669 (907) 262-3401 steve.russell@alaska.gov SECTION 3 – SPILL PREPAREDNESS 57 Response Container Inventory Example – KAKE SECTION 3 – SPILL PREPAREDNESS QTY UNIT DESCRIPTION USED DATE QTY SECURITY/LIGHTING 1 ea American padlock, heavy duty w/ 2 keys CONTAINMENT 900 ft 8" X 12" Harbor boom, yellow, 100' lengths, marked ADEC 2 ea Tow bridles with floats, marked ADEC 10 ea 22 lb.

The following are some tips to help determine if you have spills or leaks at your facility: • Visible spilled product on the ground • Sheen on water • There is a smell of fuel in the air • The inventory does not reconcile • Dead or oiled fish, birds or small mammals • Dead vegetation around the facility • There is a smell or taste in the drinking water • Sounds such as spraying liquids, a high pitch release from a pressure vessel, etc. • Staining on the outside of tanks or pipes, especially at seams or joints SECTION 4 – SPILL RESPONSE, REPORTING 62 Where Spills Are Likely to Happen: Spills can happen anywhere but most often from tops of tanks during overfills, at bottom of tanks due to corrosion, and from any connection to the tank from pipes. Pipes can leak from any connection or valve. Dispensing areas and fuel transfer points require additional attention due to the risk of operator error. SECTION 4 – SPILL RESPONSE, REPORTING 63 Spill Response When you determine that you have a spill at your facility, immediate action must be taken. This section is a description of recommended steps to take and whom to notify. At the end of this section there is a “Spill Response Checklist” which is an abbreviated version of this section. The checklist may be copied, modified for your facility and used as you see fit. Note: The procedures outlined should be considered recommendations. Every spill is different and your response should be guided by your capabilities and equipment limitations. Initial Defense Actions 1. Survey Incident – from a safe distance. Using senses of sight, hearing and smell, take note of: • Source of release (tank, pipe, valve, drum, etc.) • Product spilled, look at labels and markings (gasoline, diesel, etc.) • Occupied buildings that may be threatened • Public areas and environmentally sensitive areas that may be threatened 2. Safety first – human lives and safety are the most important. • Call for help. Let others know where you are, what you are doing and what they can do to help. This may save your life as well as reduce the impact from the spill. Call: o Facility owner or Manager o Local Fire Department o Local Responders o Local Law Enforcement o Local Medical Personnel SECTION 4 – SPILL RESPONSE, REPORTING 64 Spill Response (continued) 3. Analyze the incident • Collect hazard information on product spilled (refer to SDS sheets) • Predict the likely behavior of the spilled product (flow direction, etc.) as well as what may have happened to the source container • Estimate the extent of the spill and the potential for harm to humans and the environment 4. Protect the public • Keep non-emergency and unauthorized personnel away from the facility and the spill area • Evacuate areas downwind and stay upwind of the spill – fumes can cause safety and health problems • Control the scene and ribbon off the spill area to keep the public away from the spill • Know when to stay away (explosive hazard, etc.) • Have public service announcements made to ask others to avoid the facility and spill area 5. Plan a response • Identify response objectives based on the analysis • Determine initial responder and equipment needs • If needed, contact ADEC for access to additional response equipment located in “Local Response Containers.” • Conduct a safety briefing with all responders SECTION 4 – SPILL RESPONSE, REPORTING 65 Spill Response (continued) 6. Protect yourself with appropriate personal protective gear o Hardhat o Rubber and/or safety toed boots o Respirator o Disposable suit or rain gear o Eye protection o Neoprene gloves • Watch out for symptoms of heat and cold stress • Establish personnel decontamination station prior to entry 7. Verify spill source – determine and verify where the spill is coming from • Tanks o Check vents for evidence of spill product from overfill or heat expansion o Look at tank shell seams for rupture, leaking welds, missing bolts or rivets, or any other damage or flaws o Check the shell to bottom seam for corrosion, leaking welds or other damage o Check tell-tale pipes or other leak detection devices o Check man-way covers and other tank penetrations for leaks • Piping o Check to see if any pipes are cracked or broken o See if the valves are in the correct position – open or closed SECTION 4 – SPILL RESPONSE, REPORTING 66 Spill Response (continued) o Look for broken or leaky joints o Check connections with the tank Other sources – Look around to see if the spilled oil could be coming from another source such as a vehicle parked on the premises, or drums stored near or in the facility. Planned Response Actions – Use the “BUDDY SYSTEM” 8. CONTROL the spill: • Stop transferring fuel immediately if the spill occurs during a transfer • Know the location of all emergency shut off equipment, both electrical and mechanical • Close the valves upstream of the leak to stop the flow of product • Place buckets or basins under a leak from a pipe or valve • Apply a temporary patch over a leaky pipe or tank • If a spill is from a damaged tank, transfer fuel to another tank 9. CONTAIN the spill as soon as possible – the quicker the spill is contained, the less potential for danger to humans and less impact to the environment • Use spill response tool kits – shovels, absorbents, etc. • Follow deployment strategies outlined in the Spill Response Plan • For winter spills o Pile snow to form a dike around the spilled product o Dig ditches in ice and line with plastic to contain the spill SECTION 4 – SPILL RESPONSE AND REPORTING 67 • For summer spills o Use dirt and mud to form a dike around the spilled product o Dig a ditch and line with plastic to divert product way from streams or other bodies of water and to collect fuel • Pay particular attention to sensitive areas o Drinking water sources o Residential areas o Commercial areas o Fish and wildlife habitat o Culturally sensitive areas 9. Recover and CLEAN up spilled product Recover: Recover captured product before it hits the water by pumping to or picking it up with skimmers, vac-trucks or absorbent materials. Put the recovered product into tanks, drums or bladders. Clean: Clean contaminated equipment, tanks, pipes or other objects in a way that controls run off from the cleaning operation Remove: Removed contaminated grasses, brush and other debris and place in large trash bags for proper disposal SECTION 4 – SPILL RESPONSE AND REPORTING 68 Spill Response (continued) SECTION 4 – SPILL RESPONSE, REPORTING 69 Spill Reporting 9. Notify Owners and Authorities – When a spill is noticed, call the following individuals and agencies immediately (Fill in the correct numbers below): • Facility Owner or manager • The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation o During normal business hours: o Outside normal business hours: • The National Response Center (EPA and USCG) Make sure signs with appropriate contact numbers are visibly posted in the facility. Also make sure notification signs are visible so others can see them in the event of a spill when the facility is closed. Notifications signs are available from ADEC free of charge.

Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Requirements: The SPCC regulation specifies several major oil spill control requirements • Secondary Containment: diking or other structural containment or their equivalent must be provided. It must be large enough to hold the contents of the largest tank plus allowance for precipitation (usually 10% of the largest tank). Diked areas must be sufficiently impermeable to contain spilled oil. • Tank Installations: must be fail-safe engineered to prevent spills. Tanks must have at least one of the following: o High level liquid level alarms, audio or visual o High level liquid cutoff device o Direct audible or code signal communication between gauger and pump station o Fast response system for determining fuel level, this would be a computerized system or direct visual gauges • Tank Material and Construction must be compatible with stored product and local conditions such as temperature. SECTION 5 – GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS 76 Environmental Protection Agency (continued) • Fencing, locks and lighting - Oil storage facilities must be fenced and the gate locked or guarded when the facility is unattended. Facility type and location must be considered when selecting and installing lighting. It should prevent vandalism and help detect spills at night. • Operations and maintenance - Aboveground tanks, foundations, and supports must have periodic integrity tests, using methods such as hydrostatic testing, visual inspection or non-destructive shell thickness testing. Records of test results must be kept so they may be compared and variances identified. • Piping requirements - Buried piping must have a protective coating or wrapping and must be cathodically protected. All aboveground valves and piping must be examined regularly and assessments made. Underground piping that becomes exposed must be inspected. • Training requirements - AST facility owners and operators are responsible for training oil handling personnel in operations and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges, discharge procedures, protocol and Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plans. • Facility owners and operators are liable for civil penalties for SPCC violations B. SPCC Plan Requirements: AST facilities are required to prepare SPCC Plans. These ae procedural and contingency plans that play an important safety role for facility owners and operators. In case of a spill, it is necessary to have a well thought out and systematic response and cleanup plan that can be implemented immediately. • SPCC plans must be written and implemented before beginning operations • Plans must be kept at the facility if it is in operation at least four hours a day and must be available for EPA inspection • Plans must be prepared in accordance with good engineering practice and certified by a registered professional engineer SECTION 5 – GOVERNMENT REQUIRMENTS 77 Environmental Protection Agency (continued) • Plans must be reviewed and updated every five years • Plans must discuss spill prevention, staff training, inspections, security, spill reporting, equipment and operations. • SPCC plans must describe training, equipment testing, and periodic unannounced drills. They must also describe facility personnel response actions to be carried out under the plan to ensure facility safety and to mitigate or prevent a discharge or the substantial threat of a discharge. • Plans must provide for appropriate containment, drainage control structures or equipment at the facility to prevent discharged oil from reaching navigable waterways. A copy of the checklist that the EPA uses when reviewing SPCC plans is included in Appendix C of this handbook. C. Facility Response Plan: In addition to a SPCC plan, certain facilities need to prepare a Facility Response Plan (FRP). Applicability: Facility Response Plans must be prepared by owners or operators of non-transportation related facilities that, because of their location, could reasonably cause “substantial” harm to the environment by discharging oil into or on navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. EPA considers a facility to pose a potential for causing substantial harm if it transfers oil over water to or from vessels and has a total storage capacity greater than or equal to 42,000 gallons. EPA has the authority to require a facility to prepare or revise a Facility Response Plan at their discretion.

Use personal protective equipment. SAFETY DATA SHEET Diesel Low Sulfur (LSD) and Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Page 4 of 11 B-5 Environmental precautions : Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill, if safe to do so. Protect bodies of water by diking, absorbents, or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless system is designed and permitted to handle such material. The use of fire fighting foam may be useful in certain situations to reduce vapors. The proper use of water spray may effectively disperse product vapors or the liquid itself, preventing contact with ignition sources or areas/equipment that require protection. Discharge into the environment must be avoided. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities. Methods for cleaning up : Take up with sand or oil absorbing materials. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a waste container for reclamation or disposal - caution, flammable vapors may accumulate in closed containers. Response and clean-up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment (see Section 8). SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling : Keep away from fire, sparks and heated surfaces. No smoking near areas where material is stored or handled. The product should only be stored and handled in areas with intrinsically safe electrical classification. : Hydrocarbon liquids including this product can act as a non-conductive flammable liquid (or static accumulators), and may form ignitable vapor-air mixtures in storage tanks or other containers. Precautions to prevent static-initated fire or explosion during transfer, storage or handling, include but are not limited to these examples: (1) Ground and bond containers during product transfers. Grounding and bonding may not be adequate protection to prevent ignition or explosion of hydrocarbon liquids and vapors that are static accumulators. (2) Special slow load procedures for "switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that can exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil or diesel) is loaded into tanks previously containing low flash point products (such gasoline or naphtha). (3) Storage tank level floats must be effectively bonded. For more information on precautions to prevent static-initated fire or explosion, see NFPA 77, Recommended Practice on Static Electricity (2007), and API Recommended Practice 2003, Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents (2008). Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities : Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved containers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty or partially full product containers or vessels may contain explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or expose containers to sources of ignition. Store in a well-ventilated area. The storage area should comply with NFPA 30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code". The cleaning of tanks previously containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice (RP) 2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks In Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service" and API RP 2015 "Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks". : Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a potential splash exposure.

General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water. Precautionary Measures: This product presents an extreme fire hazard. Liquid very quickly evaporates, even at low temperatures, and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive violence. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Never siphon gasoline by mouth. Do not store in open or unlabeled containers. READ AND OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS ON PRODUCT LABEL. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not get in eyes. Do not taste or swallow. Do not breathe vapor or fumes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep out of the reach of children. Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating an electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly. General Storage Information: DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks, flames, or hot surfaces . USE AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep container closed when not in use.

SECTION 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION CHEVRON and TEXACO REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINES SDS : 2655 Revision Number: 50 Revision Date: MARCH 10, 2016 Page 9 of 16 Reproductive Toxicity: The hazard evaluation is based on data for components or a similar material. Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Single Exposure: The hazard evaluation is based on data for components or a similar material. Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Repeated Exposure: The hazard evaluation is based on data for components or a similar material. ADDITIONAL TOXICOLOGY INFORMATION: This product contains naphthalene. GENERAL TOXICITY: Exposure to naphthalene has been reported to cause methemoglobinemia and/or hemolytic anemia, especially in humans deficient in the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Laboratory animals given repeated oral doses of naphthalene have developed cataracts. REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY AND BIRTH DEFECTS: Naphthalene did not cause birth defects when administered orally to rabbits, rats, and mice during pregnancy, but slightly reduced litter size in mice at dose levels that were lethal to the pregnant females. Naphthalene has been reported to cross the human placenta. GENETIC TOXICITY: Naphthalene caused chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges in Chinese hamster ovary cells, but was not a mutagen in several other in-vitro tests.CARCINOGENICITY: In a study conducted by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), mice exposed to 10 or 30 ppm of naphthalene by inhalation daily for two years had chronic inflammation of the nose and lungs and increased incidences of metaplasia in those tissues. The incidence of benign lung tumors (alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas) was significantly increased in the high-dose female group but not in the male groups. In another two-year inhalation study conducted by NTP, exposure of rats to 10, 30, and 60 ppm naphthalene caused increases in the incidences of a variety of nonneoplastic lesions in the nose. Increases in nasal tumors were seen in both sexes, including olfactory neuroblastomas in females at 60 ppm and adenomas of the respiratory epithelium in males at all exposure levels. The relevance of these effects to humans has not been established. No carcinogenic effect was reported in a 2-year feeding study in rats receiving naphthalene at 41 mg/kg/day. This product contains cyclohexane. Cyclohexane primarily affects the central nervous systems of laboratory animals and humans. Acute or prolonged inhalation of cyclohexane at levels below the recommended exposure limits does not result in toxic effects while acute exposures to levels above these recommended limits can cause reversible central nervous system depression. Prolonged exposures of laboratory animals to high levels (up to low thousands of parts per million) have also caused reversible effects which included hyperactivity, diminished response to stimuli, and adaptive liver changes while very high levels (high thousands of parts per million) were fatal. No developmental effects were seen in rats or rabbits following exposures of up to 7000 ppm cyclohexane. No reproductive effects occurred in rats, although postnatal pup growth was reduced at 7000 ppm in a similar manner as observed in the parental animals. Cyclohexane has not been shown to be mutagenic in several in vitro and in vivo assays and has not produced tumors in several dermal application long-term bioassays. Based on these results and the lack of any mutagenic or genotoxic metabolites, cyclohexane is not expected to be mutagenic or genotoxic. Following dermal exposure, cyclohexane is rapidly absorbed, metabolized,and excreted. This product contains butane. An atmospheric concentration of 100,000 ppm (10%) butane is not noticeably irritating to the eyes, nose or respiratory tract, but will produce slight dizziness in a few minutes of exposure. No chronic systemic effect has been reported from occupational exposure. CHEVRON and TEXACO REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINES SDS : 2655 Revision Number: 50 Revision Date: MARCH 10, 2016 Page 10 of 16 This product contains benzene. GENETIC TOXICITY/CANCER: Repeated or prolonged breathing of benzene vapor has been associated with the development of chromosomal damage in experimental animals and various blood diseases in humans ranging from aplastic anemia to leukemia (a form of cancer). All of these diseases can be fatal. In some individuals, benzene exposure can sensitize cardiac tissue to epinephrine which may precipitate fatal ventricular fibrillation. REPRODUCTIVE/DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: No birth defects have been shown to occur in pregnant laboratory animals exposed to doses not toxic to the mother. However, some evidence of fetal toxicity such as delayed physical development has been seen at such levels. The available information on the effects of benzene on human pregnancies is inadequate but it has been established that benzene can cross the human placenta. OCCUPATIONAL: The OSHA Benzene Standard (29 CFR 1910.1028) contains detailed requirements for training, exposure monitoring, respiratory protection and medical surveillance triggered by the exposure level. Refer to the OSHA Standard before using this product. This product contains n-hexane. TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY: Prolonged or repeated ingestion, skin contact or breathing of vapors of n-hexane has been shown to cause peripheral neuropathy. Recovery ranges from no recovery to complete recovery depending upon the severity of the nerve damage. Exposure to 1000 ppm n-hexane for 18 hr/day for 61 days has been shown to cause testicular damage in rats. However, when rats were exposed to higher concentrations for shorter daily periods (10,000 ppm for 6 h/day, 5 days/wk for 13 weeks), no testicular lesions were seen. CARCINOGENICITY: Chronic exposure to commercial hexane (52% n-hexane) at a concentration of 9000ppm was not carcinogenic to rats or to male mice, but did result in an increased incidence of liver tumors in female mice. No carcinogenic effects were observed in female mice exposed to 900 or 3000 ppm hexane or in male mice. The relevance for humans of these hexane-induced mouse liver tumors is questionable. GENETIC TOXICITY: n-Hexane caused chromosome aberrations in bone marrow of rats, but was negative in the AMES and mouse lymphoma tests. This product contains ethanol (ethyl alcohol). Chronic ingestion of ethanol can damage the liver, nervous system and heart. Chronic heavy consumption of alcoholic beverages has been associated with an increased risk of cancer. Ingestion of ethanol during pregnancy can cause human birth defects such as fetal alcohol syndrome. Gasolines are highly volatile and can produce significant concentrations of vapor at ambient temperatures. Gasoline vapor is heavier than air and at high concentrations may accumulate in confined spaces to present both safety and health hazards. When vapor exposures are low, or short duration and infrequent, such as during refueling and tanker loading/unloading, neither total hydrocarbon nor components such as benzene are likely to result in any adverse health effects. In situations such as accidents or spills where exposure to gasoline vapor is potentially high, attention should be paid to potential toxic effects of specific components. Information about specific components in gasoline can be found in Sections 2/3, 8 and 15 of this MSDS. More detailed information on the health hazards of specific gasoline components can be obtained calling the Chevron Emergency Information Center (see Section 1 for phone numbers). Pathological misuse of solvents and gasoline, involving repeated and prolonged exposure to high concentrations of vapor is a significant exposure on which there are many reports in the medical literature. As with other solvents, persistent abuse involving repeated and prolonged exposures to high concentrations of vapor has been reported to result in central nervous system damage and eventually, death. In a study in which ten human volunteers were exposed for 30 minutes to approximately 200, 500 or 1000 ppm concentrations of gasoline vapor, irritation of the eyes was the only significant effect CHEVRON and TEXACO REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINES SDS : 2655 Revision Number: 50 Revision Date: MARCH 10, 2016 Page 11 of 16 observed, based on both subjective and objective assessments. Lifetime inhalation of wholly vaporized unleaded gasoline at 2056 ppm has caused increased liver tumors in female mice and kidney cancer in male rats. In their 1988 review of carcinogenic risk from gasoline, The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) noted that, because published epidemiology studies did not include any exposure data, only occupations where gasoline exposure may have occurred were reviewed. These included gasoline service station attendants and automobile mechanics. IARC also noted that there was no opportunity to separate effects of combustion products from those of gasoline itself. Although IARC allocated gasoline a final overall classification of Group 2B, i.e. possibly carcinogenic to humans, this was based on limited evidence in experimental animals plus supporting evidence including the presence in gasoline of benzene. The actual evidence for carcinogenicity in humans was considered inadequate. MUTAGENICITY: Gasoline was not mutagenic, with or without activation, in the Ames assay (Salmonella typhimurium), Saccharamyces cerevisesae, or mouse lymphoma assays. In addition, point mutations were not induced in human lymphocytes. Gasoline was not mutagenic when tested in the mouse dominant lethal assay. Administration of gasoline to rats did not cause chomosomal aberrations in their bone marrow cells. EPIDEMIOLOGY: To explore the health effects of workers potentially exposed to gasoline vapors in the marketing and distribution sectors of the petroleum industry, the American Petroleum Institute sponsored a cohort mortality study (Publication 4555), a nested case-control study (Publication 4551), and an exposure assessment study (Publication 4552). Histories of exposure to gasoline were reconstructed for cohort of more than 18,000 employees from four companies for the time period between 1946 and 1985. The results of the cohort mortality study indicated that there was no increased mortality from either kidney cancer or leukemia among marketing and marine distribution employees who were exposed to gasoline in the petroleum industry, when compared to the general population. More importantly, based on internal comparisons, there was no association between mortality from kidney cancer or leukemia and various indices of gasoline exposure. In particular, neither duration of employment, duration of exposure, age at first exposure, year of first exposure, job category, cumulative exposure, frequency of peak exposure, nor average intensity of exposure had any effect on kidney cancer or leukemia mortality. The results of the nested case-control study confirmed the findings of the original cohort study. That is, exposure to gasoline at the levels experienced by this cohort of distribution workers is not a significant risk factor for leukemia (all cell types), acute myeloid leukemia, kidney cancer or multiple myeloma. This product contains ethylbenzene. BIRTH DEFECTS AND REPRODUCTION: Ethylbenzene is not expected to cause birth defects or other developmental effects based on well-conducted studies in rabbits and rats sponsored by NIOSH. Other studies in rats and mice which reported urinary tract malformations have many deficiencies and have limited usefulness in evaluating human risk. Reproductive effects are not expected based on a NIOSH study of fertility, and lack of effects observed for sperm counts and motility, estrous cycle and pathology of reproductive organs following repeated exposures. HEARING: Statistically significant losses in outer hair cells (OHCs) were observed in rats exposed to >=200 ppm ethylbenzene, 6 hours/day, 6 days/week for 13 weeks, after an 8-week recovery period. Following longer exposure, inner hair cells losses were also observed in rats exposed to >= 600 ppm ethylbenzene, but only occasionally in rats exposed to 400 ppm. The Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level in rats (LOAEL) was 200 ppm for losses of OHCs. Guinea pigs exposed to ethylbenzene at 2,500 ppm, 6 hours/day for 5 days did not show auditory deficits or losses in OHCs. The concentration of ethylbenzene used in the JP-8 study was approximately 10 ppm. GENETIC TOXICITY: Ethylbenzene tested negative in the bacterial mutation test, Chinese Hamster CHEVRON and TEXACO REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINES SDS : 2655 Revision Number: 50 Revision Date: MARCH 10, 2016 Page 12 of 16 Ovary (CHO) cell in vitro assay, sister chromatid exchange assay and an unscheduled DNA synthesis assay. Conflicting results have been reported for the mouse lymphoma cell assay. Increased micronuclei were reported in an in vitro Syrian hamster embryo cell assay; however, two in vivo micronuclei studies in mice were negative. In Syrian hamster embryo cells in vitro, cell transformation was observed at 7 days of incubation but not at 24 hours. Based on these results, ethylbenzene is not expected to be mutagenic or clastogenic. CARCINOGENICITY: In studies conducted by the National Toxicology Program, rats and mice were exposed to ethylbenzene at 25, 250 and 750 ppm for six hours per day, five days per week for 103 weeks. In rats exposed to 750 ppm, the incidence of kidney tubule hyperplasia and tumors was increased. Testicular tumors develop spontaneously in nearly all rats if allowed to complete their natural life span; in this study, the development of these tumors appeared to be enhanced in male rats exposed to 750 ppm. In mice, the incidences of lung tumors in males and liver tumors in females exposed to 750 ppm were increased as compared to control mice but were within the range of incidences observed historically in control mice. Other liver effects were observed in male mice exposed to 250 and 750 ppm. The incidences of hyperplasia were increased in the pituitary gland in female mice at 250 and 750 ppm and in the thyroid in male and female mice at 750 ppm. This product contains toluene. GENERAL TOXICITY: The primary effects of exposure to toluene in animals and humans are on the central nervous system. Solvent abusers, who typically inhale high concentrations (thousands of ppm) for brief periods of time, in addition to experiencing respiratory tract irritation, often suffer permanent central nervous system effects that include tremors, staggered gait, impaired speech, hearing and vision loss, and changes in brain tissue. Death in some solvent abusers has been attributed to cardiac arrhythmias, which appear to be have been triggered by epinephrine acting on solvent sensitized cardiac tissue. Although liver and kidney effects have been seen in some solvent abusers, results of animal testing with toluene do not support these as primary target organs. HEARING: Humans who were occupationally exposed to concentrations of toluene as low as 100 ppm for long periods of time have experienced hearing deficits. Hearing loss, as demonstrated using behavioral and electrophysiological testing as well as by observation of structural damage to cochlear hair cells, occurred in experimental animals exposed to toluene. It also appears that toluene exposure and noise may interact to produce hearing deficits. COLOR VISION: In a single study of workers exposed to toluene at levels under 50 ppm, small decreases in the ability to discriminate colors in the blue-yellow range have been reported for female workers. This effect, which should be investigated further, is very subtle and would not likely have been noticed by the people tested. REPRODUCTIVE/DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Toluene may also cause mental and/or growth retardation in the children of female solvent abusers who directly inhale toluene (usually at thousands of ppm) when they are pregnant. Toluene caused growth retardation in rats and rabbits when administered at doses that were toxic to the mothers. In rats, concentrations of up to 5000 ppm did not cause birth defects. No effects were observed in the offspring at doses that did not intoxicate the pregnant animals. The exposure level at which no effects were seen (No Observed Effect Level, NOEL) is 750 ppm in the rat and 500 ppm in the rabbit. This product contains xylene. ACUTE TOXICITY: The primary effects of exposure to xylene in animals and humans are on the central nervous system. In addition,in some individuals, xylene exposure can sensitize cardiac tissue to epinephrine which may precipitate fatal ventricular fibrillation. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Xylene has been reported to cause developmental toxicity in rats and mice exposed by inhalation during pregnancy. The effects noted consisted of delayed development and minor skeletal variations. In addition, when pregnant mice were exposed by ingestion to a level that CHEVRON and TEXACO REGULAR UNLEADED GASOLINES SDS : 2655 Revision Number: 50 Revision Date: MARCH 10, 2016 Page 13 of 16 killed nearly one-third of the test group, lethality (resorptions) and malformations (primarily cleft palate) occurred. Since xylene can cross the placenta, it may be appropriate to prevent exposure during pregnancy. GENETIC TOXICITY/CARCINOGENICITY: Xylene was not genotoxic in several mutagenicity testing assays including the Ames test. In a cancer study sponsored by the National Toxicology Program (NTP),technical grade xylene gave no evidence of carcinogenicity in rats or mice dosed daily for two years. HEARING: Mixed xylenes have been shown to cause measurable hearing loss in rats exposed to 800 ppm in the air for 14 hours per day for six weeks. Exposure to 1450 ppm xylene for 8 hours caused hearing loss while exposure to 1700 ppm for 4 hours did not. Although no information is available for lower concentrations, other chemicals that cause hearing loss in rats at relatively high concentrations do not cause hearing loss in rats at low concentrations. Worker exposure to xylenes at the permissible exposure limit (100 ppm, time-weighted average) is not expected to cause hearing loss. ECOTOXICITY This material is expected to be toxic to aquatic organisms and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. 48 hour(s) LC50: 3.0 mg/l (Daphnia magna) 96 hour(s) LC50: 1.8 mg/l (Mysidopsis bahia) 96 hour(s) LC50: 8.3 mg/l (Cyprinodon variegatus) 96 hour(s) LC50: 2.7 mg/l (Oncorhynchus mykiss) MOBILITY No data available. PERSISTENCE AND DEGRADABILITY This material is expected to be readily biodegradable. Following spillage, the more volatile components of gasoline will be rapidly lost, with concurrent dissolution of these and other constituents into the water. Factors such as local environmental conditions (temperature, wind, mixing or wave action, soil type, etc), photo-oxidation, biodegradation and adsorption onto suspended sediments, can contribute to the weathering of spilled gasoline. The aqueous solubility of non-oxygenated unleaded gasoline, based on analysis of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene+xylenes and naphthalene, is reported to be 112 mg/l. Solubility data on individual gasoline constituents also available. POTENTIAL TO BIOACCUMULATE Bioconcentration Factor: No data available.

SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -1- INTRODUCTION Purpose The purpose of this Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan is to describe measures implemented by Unified Oil to prevent oil discharges from occurring, and to prepare Unified Oil 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 storage information and testing records, as a tool to communicate practices on preventing and responding to discharges with employees, as a guide to facility inspections, and as a resource during emergency response. Unified Oil 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 Unified Oil must perform to comply with the SPCC rule: Complete monthly and annual site inspections as outlined in the Inspection, Tests, and Records section of this Plan (Section 3.7) using the inspection checklists included in 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 1 Regional Administrator (RA) and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP), 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. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -2- Review the SPCC Plan at least once every five (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 field at the time of the review. Plan amendments, other than administrative changes discussed above, must be recertified by a Professional Engineer on the certification page in Section 1.2 of this Plan. Amend the SPCC Plan within six (6) months whenever where 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 (PE). 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 contact information, such as phone numbers. Administrative changes must be documented in the Plan review log of Section 1.4 of this Plan, but do not have to be certified by a PE. Unified Oil Company, Ltd.

SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -8- Part 2: General Facility Information Name: Unified Oil Company Address: 123 A Street Stonefield, MA 02000 (781) 555-5556 Type: Bulk storage distribution facility Date of Initial Operations: May 20, 1989 Owner/Operator: Blake and Daughters, Inc. 20 Fairview Road Stonefield, MA 02000 Primary contact: Susan Blake, Facility Manager Work: (781) 555-5550 Cell (24 hours): (781) 555-5559 2.1 Facility Description (40 CFR 112.7(a)(3)) 2.1.1 Location and Activities Unified Oil distributes a variety of petroleum products to primarily commercial customers. The facility handles, stores, uses, and distributes petroleum products in the form of gasoline, diesel, No. 2 fuel oil, No. 6 fuel oil, and motor oil. Unified Oil receives products by common carrier via tanker truck. The products are stored in several aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) and in one underground storage tank (UST). They are delivered to customers by Unified Oil trucks or by independent contractors. The facility refuels its own two delivery trucks from an underground diesel tank connected to a fueling pump. Hours of operation are between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, 6 days per week. Personnel at the facility include a facility manager, a plant operator, two truck drivers, an office administrator, and three operations and maintenance personnel. 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. Unified Oil is located in a primarily commercial area at 123 A Street in Stonefield, Massachusetts. The site is comprised of approximately 2 acres of land and is bordered to the east by A Street, to the west by Silver Creek, and to the north by ABC Plating Co. The site includes an office building, a maintenance shop, a tanker truck loading rack and unloading area, and product storage and handling areas. Petroleum products are stored within the main bulk storage area, underground, and inside the maintenance building. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -9- 2.1.2 Oil Storage Oil storage at the facility consists of seven tanks: four fixed ASTs, one portable tank, and two metallic USTs. In addition, the facility stores a varying stock of oil drums inside the maintenance building. The capacities of oil containers present at the site are listed below and are also indicated on the facility diagram in Figure A-2. All containers with 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. Unified Oil owns two 2,000-gallon transport trucks that are used to deliver product to customers. One of the two trucks is periodically parked overnight while full; the capacity of this truck is therefore counted in the total storage capacity for this facility. Table 2-1: Oil Containers ID Storage capacity Content Description Fixed Storage 1 20,000 gallons Diesel Aboveground vertical tank 2 20,000 gallons Unleaded regular gasoline Aboveground horizontal tank elevated on built-in saddles 3 20,000 gallons Unleaded premium gasoline Aboveground horizontal tank elevated on built-in saddles 6 1,000 gallons No. 2 fuel oil Underground horizontal tank 7 10,000 gallons No. 6 fuel oil Field-constructed aboveground vertical tank 1,100 gallons Motor oil 55-gallon storage drums (variable stock; up to 20 drums on site at any time) Portable storage 4 500 gallons Gasoline Double-walled aboveground horizontal tank Vehicles 2,000 gallons Fuel oil Delivery truck* * Note: Unified Oil owns two delivery trucks. Both trucks are used in transportation- related activities outside the confines of the facility and generally return to the facility empty for parking overnight. One of the two delivery trucks is periodically parked while full. This truck is therefore counted in the storage capacity for this facility. The other truck is dedicated to scheduled deliveries and returns to the facility empty (except for minor residual). If the tanker truck returns to the facility with more than residual product, this product will be returned to inventory via the unloading station. If the facility decides to use this tanker for overnight storage, then this Plan must be modified to include the capacity of the truck and ensure compliance with other rule requirements, including Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -10- secondary containment. Total Oil Storage: 74,600 gallons Other containers: (1) 1,500-gallon oil/water separator Note: The oil/water separator is used treat facility drainage (i.e., wastewater) prior to discharge into Silver Creek under state and federal wastewater discharge permits. Discharge from the facility includes storm water collected from the paved areas outside the loading rack/unloading area containment berm and bulk storage containment dike. No external oil tanks are associated with the oil/water separator. This equipment is used to meet certain secondary containment requirements under 40 CFR part 112, as described later in this Plan. Thus, the capacity of the oil/water separator is not counted towards the facility total storage capacity. (1) 5,000-gallon underground horizontal tank (Diesel) – Tank #5 Note: This underground storage tank is subject to, and meets, all the technical requirements of Massachusetts Underground Storage Tank Program at 527 CMR 9, as approved under 40 CFR part 281, and is therefore not counted in the storage capacity for this facility (exempted under 40 CFR 112.1(d)(4). Its location is indicated on the Facility Diagram in Appendix A. Note that the other underground storage tank (Tank #6) which contains No. 2 fuel oil for heating consumption on the premises of the facility is not subject to certain technical requirements under 40 CFR part 280 or a program approved under part 281, in particular corrosion protection, and is therefore included in the storage capacity for this facility (and is SPCC-regulated), as described above. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -11- 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 Silver Creek, which runs immediately along the southwest side of the site. Silver Creek flows north to the Blackpool River approximately 1.5 miles from the facility. Spill trajectories are indicated on the facility diagram. Storm drains are located along A Street at the northeast end of the site. They discharge to Silver Creek. Approximately three-quarters of the facility’s ground surface area is paved with asphalt. The remainder consists of compacted gravel, grass, and low-lying vegetation. 2.2.2 Discharge History Table 2-1 summarizes the facility’s discharge history. Table 2-2: Oil Discharge History Description of Discharge Corrective Actions Taken Plan for Preventing Recurrence On 3/23/2003, a leaking valve on a delivery truck discharged 50 gallons of diesel oil onto the ground during a rain event, allowing approximately 10 gallons to enter Silver Creek. A boom was placed into Silver Creek immediately upon discovery. Approximately 35 gallons of oil were recovered from Silver creek and the facility ground. An oil/water separator was installed and the facility drainage was designed to flow into the separator. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -12- 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 implementation 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 (i.e., overfills, and the loading/unloading area associated with Tank #4). Because Tank #4 does not meet the specifications provided in EPA’s memorandum concerning its policy on double-walled tanks, general containment must be provided to address overfills. The separator provides environmental protection equivalent to the requirements under 112.8(b)(3) to use ponds, lagoons, or catchment 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. Non-destructive integrity evaluation is not performed on Tank #4 (500-gallon portable storage tank) or the 55-gallon storage drums. Tank #4 has a double-wall construction and is elevated off the ground. The tank is inspected regularly and following a regular schedule in accordance with the Steel Tank Institute (STI) SP-001 tank inspection standard as described in this Plan. Any leakage from the primary container would be detected through monitoring of the interstitial space performed on a monthly basis. Any leakage from the secondary shell would be detected visually during scheduled visual inspections by facility personnel. Storage drums are elevated on spill pallets and have all sides visible, and any leak would be readily detected by facility personnel before they can cause a discharge to navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. Corrosion poses minimal risk of failure since drums are single-use and remain on site for a relatively short period of time (less than one year). 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 (40 CFR 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, USTs, and transfer stations and connecting piping. 3.3 Spill Reporting (40 CFR 112.7(a)(4)) The discharge notification form included in Appendix I will be completed upon immediate detection of a discharge and prior to reporting a spill to the proper notification contacts. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -13- 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. Table 3-1: Potential Discharge Volumes and Direction of Flow Potential Event Maximum volume released (gallons) Maximum discharge rate Direction of Flow Secondary Containment Bulk Storage Area (Aboveground Storage Tanks #1, 2, 3, or 7) Failure of aboveground tank (collapse or puncture below product level) 20,000 Gradual to instantaneous SW to Silver Creek Concrete dike Tank overfill 1 to 120 60 gal/min SW to Silver Creek Concrete dike Pipe failure 20,000 240 gal/min SW to Silver Creek Concrete dike Leaking pipe or valve packing 600 1 gal/min SW to Silver Creek Concrete dike Leaking heating coil (Tank #7) 10,000 1 gal/min SW to Silver Creek Concrete dike Loading Rack/Unloading Area Tank truck leak or failure inside the rollover berm 1 to 2,000 Gradual to instantaneous SW to Silver Creek Rollover berm, on to oil/water separator Tank truck leak or failure outside the rollover berm 1 to 2,000 Gradual to instantaneous SW to Silver Creek Rollover berm, on to oil/water separator Hose leak during truck loading 1 to 300 60 gal/min SW to Silver Creek Rollover berm Fuel Dispensing Areas Tank #4 and diesel dispenser hose/ connections leak 1 to 150 30 gal/minute SW to Silver Creek.

SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -14- 3.5 Containment and Diversionary Structures (40 CFR 112.7(c)) Methods of secondary containment at this facility include a combination of structures (e.g., dike, berm, built-in secondary containment), drainage systems (e.g., oil/water separator), and land- based spill response (e.g., drain covers, sorbents) 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 dike enclosure is provided around fixed aboveground storage tanks, as described in Section 4.2.2 of this Plan. < Double-wall tank construction. Tank #6 (UST), and the 500-gallon portable storage tank (Tank #4) both have double-wall design with a secondary shell designed to contain 110 percent of the inner shell capacity. The portable tank is generally located near the entrance to the maintenance building; however, it may be used elsewhere on site. It is used to refuel various small pieces of equipment (each less than 55- gallon capacity) such as trucks and compressors, that may be deployed at different areas on the site. < Spill pallets. Each spill pallet has a capacity of 75 gallons, which can effectively contain the volume of any single 55-gallon drum. Drums are also stored inside the maintenance building and are not exposed to precipitation. The floor of the maintenance building and lower 24 inches of the outside walls are constructed of poured concrete that would restrict the flow of oil outside the building. The floor has two floor drains; the drain closest to the drum storage area is located 18 feet away. Floor drains flow into the oil/water separator, which is capable of containing any oil discharged from a 55-gallon drum. < 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 compartment of the tank truck loading or unloading at the facility (2,000 gallons), and an additional 4 inches of freeboard for precipitation. < In transfer areas and other parts of the facility where a discharge could occur: < Drip pans. Fill ports for all ASTs are equipped with drip pans to contain small leaks from the piping/hose connections. < Sorbent material. Spill cleanup kits that include absorbent material, booms, and other portable barriers are located inside the maintenance building near the drummed oil storage area and in an outside shed located near the loading rack/unloading area, as shown on the Facility Diagram in Appendix A. The spill kits are located within close proximity of Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -15- < the oil product storage and handling areas for rapid deployment should a spill occur. Sorbent material, booms, and other portable barriers are stored in the shed next to the loading rack/unloading area to allow for quick deployment in the event of a discharge during loading/unloading activities or any other accidental discharge outside the dike or loading rack/unloading area, such as from tank vehicles entering/leaving the facility or spills associated with the fuel dispenser. The response equipment inventory for the facility is listed in Appendix J of this Plan. The inventory is checked monthly to ensure that used material is replenished. < Drainage system. The facility surface drainage is engineered to direct oil that may be discharged outside of engineered containment structures such as dikes or berms into the oil/water separator. < Oil/water separator. The oil/water separator is designed to separate and retain oil at the facility. The oil/water separator has a total capacity for oil/water mixture of 1,500 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 1,200 gallons. The maximum amount of oil potentially discharged outside the diked or bermed areas is estimated at roughly 2,000 gallons (from the complete failure of an on-site tanker truck). A spill of this volume outside the diked or bermed areas will be primarily contained by deploying sorbent material and other portable spill barriers upon discovery of the spill, and additional oil containment capacity will be provided by the oil/water separator. The operating oil storage capacity is 300 gallons. Best Management Practices are used to minimize the amount of solids and oil that flow into the oil/water separator. Facility personnel are instructed to avoid and address small spills using sorbents to minimize runoff of oil into the oil/water separator. The oil/water separator is inspected monthly as part of the scheduled inspection to check the level of water within the separator and measure the depth of bottom sludges and floating oils. Floating oil is removed by a licensed waste collector when it reaches a thickness of 2 inches. 3.6 Practicability of Secondary Containment (40 CFR 112.7(d)) Unified Oil management has determined that secondary containment is practicable at this facility. 3.7 Inspections, Tests, and Records (40 CFR 112.7(e)) As required by the SPCC rule, Unified Oil performs the inspections, tests, and evaluations listed in the following table. Table 3-2 summarizes the various types of inspections and tests performed at the facility. The inspections and tests are described later in this section, and in the respective sections that describe different parts of the facility (e.g., Section 4.2.6 for bulk storage containers).

This daily visual inspection involves: (1) looking for tank/piping damage or leakage, stained or discolored soils, or excessive accumulation of water in diked and bermed areas; (2) observing the effluent from the oil/water separator; and (3) verifying that the dike drain valve is securely closed. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -17- 3.7.2 Monthly Inspection The checklist provided in Appendix C is used for monthly inspections by Unified Oil personnel. The monthly inspections cover the following key elements: Observing the exterior of aboveground storage tanks, pipes, and other equipment for signs of deterioration, leaks, corrosion, and thinning. Observing the exterior of portable containers for signs of deterioration or leaks. Observing tank foundations and supports for signs of instability or excessive settlement. 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. Verifying the proper functioning of overfill prevention systems. Checking the inventory of discharge response equipment and restocking as needed. 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 immediately be reported to the Facility 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 adjoining shorelines. Pooled oil is removed immediately upon discovery. Written monthly inspection records are signed by the Facility Manager and maintained with this SPCC Plan for a period of three years. 3.7.3 Annual Inspection Facility personnel perform a more thorough inspection of facility 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 preferably 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, control valves, and the oil/water separator. Written annual inspection records are signed by the Facility Manager and maintained with this SPCC Plan for a period of three years. 3.7.4 Periodic Integrity Testing In addition to the above monthly and annual inspections by facility personnel, Tanks #1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 are periodically evaluated by an outside certified tank inspector following the Steel Tank Institute (STI) Standard for the Inspection of Aboveground Storage Tanks, SP-001, 2005 version, as described in Section 4.2.6 of this Plan. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -18- 3.8 Personnel, Training, and Discharge Prevention Procedures (40 CFR 112.7(f)) The Facility Manager is the facility designee and is responsible for oil discharge prevention, control, and response preparedness activities at this facility. Unified Oil management has instructed oil-handling facility 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 the 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 prevention briefings are held by the Facility Manager for all facility personnel involved in oil operations. The briefings are aimed at ensuring continued understanding and adherence to the discharge prevention procedures presented in the SPCC Plan. The briefings also highlight and describe known discharge events or failures, malfunctioning components, and recently implemented precautionary measures and best practices. Facility operators and other personnel will have the opportunity during the briefings to share recommendations concerning health, safety, and environmental issues encountered during facility operations. A simulation of an on-site vehicular discharge has been conducted, and future training exercises will be periodically held to prepare for possible discharge responses. Records of the briefings and discharge prevention training are kept on the form shown in Appendix E and maintained with this SPCC Plan for a period of three years. 3.9 Security (40 CFR 112.7(g)) The facility is surrounded by 8-ft tall steel security fencing. The fence encircles the entire footprint of the facility. The single entrance gate is locked when the facility is unattended. All drain valves for containment areas are locked in the closed position to prevent unauthorized opening. Water draw valves on the 20,000-gallon storage tanks are maintained in the closed position to prevent unauthorized opening via locks. Keys for all locked valves are kept in the front office. Two area lights illuminate the loading/unloading and storage areas. Additional motion-activated lights are placed in other areas of the facility. The lights are placed to allow for the discovery of discharges and to deter acts of vandalism. The electrical starter controls for the oil pumps, including the fuel dispenser, are located in a closet inside the maintenance shop. The closet is locked when the pumps are not in use. The maintenance shop is locked when the facility is unattended. The facility securely caps or blank-flanges the loading/unloading connections of facility piping when not in service or when in standby service for an extended period of time, or when piping is Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -19- emptied of liquid content either by draining or by inert gas pressure. 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. Unified Oil management is committed to ensuring the safe transfer of material to and from storage tanks. The following 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 facility has both a loading rack (for loading moderate capacity oil delivery tanker trucks) and an unloading area (where product is unloaded from large capacity tanker truck to the facility bulk storage tanks). The loading rack and unloading area are co-located and are used by outside suppliers making deliveries to the facility and to load Unified Oil delivery trucks. The tank truck loading rack/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 2,500 gallons, which is capable of containing the largest compartment of the petroleum suppliers truck making deliveries at this facility (maximum 2,000 gallons), and is also capable of containing the capacity of Unified Oil’s delivery trucks, which each have a total capacity of 2,000 gallons. To minimize direct exposure to rain, and facilitate the cleanup of small spills that may occur during loading/unloading operations, the area is partially covered by a roof. 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 main office. The berm is drained by Unified personnel after verifying that the retained water is free of oil. The accumulated water is released to the oil/water separator. The drain valve is closed and locked following drainage. Although delivery trucks are usually empty while at the site for extended periods of time, Unified Oil periodically parks one of its two delivery trucks while full overnight. If a delivery truck is parked overnight or for an extended period of time while it still contains fuel, it is parked inside the loading rack/unloading area containment berm. As discussed above, the berm provides sufficient containment capacity for the truck volume, plus sufficient freeboard for 4 inches of precipitation. 3.10.2 Loading/Unloading Procedures (40 CFR 112.7(h)(2) and (3)) All suppliers must meet the minimum requirements and regulations for tank truck Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -20- loading/unloading established by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Unified Oil ensures that the vendor 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 or fuel delivery hose. The Facility Manager or his/her designee supervises oil deliveries for all new suppliers, and periodically observes deliveries for existing, approved suppliers. All loading and unloading of tank vehicles takes place only in the designated loading rack/unloading area. Vehicle filling operations are performed by facility personnel trained in proper discharge prevention procedures. The truck driver or facility personnel remain with the vehicle at all times while fuel is being transferred. Transfer operations are performed according to the minimum procedures outlined in Table 3-3. This table is also posted next to the loading/unloading point. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -21- Table 3-3: Fuel Transfer Procedures Stage Tasks Prior to loading/ unloading Visually check all hoses for leaks and wet spots. Verify that sufficient volume (ullage) is available in the storage tank or truck. Lock in the closed position all drainage valves of the secondary containment structure. Secure the tank vehicle with wheel chocks and interlocks. Ensure that the vehicle’s parking brakes are set. Verify proper alignment of valves and proper functioning of the pumping system. If filling a tank truck, inspect the lowermost drain and all outlets. Establish adequate bonding/grounding prior to connecting to the fuel transfer point. Turn off cell phone. During loading/ unloading Driver must stay with the vehicle at all times during loading/unloading activities. Periodically inspect all systems, hoses and connections. When loading, keep internal and external valves on the receiving tank open along with the pressure relief valves. When making a connection, shut off the vehicle engine. When transferring Class 3 materials, shut off the vehicle engine unless it is used to operate a pump. Maintain communication with the pumping and receiving stations. Monitor the liquid level in the receiving tank to prevent overflow. Monitor flow meters to determine rate of flow. When topping off the tank, reduce flow rate to prevent overflow. After loading/ unloading Make sure the transfer operation is completed. Close all tank and loading valves before disconnecting. Securely close all vehicle internal, external, and dome cover valves before disconnecting. Secure all hatches. Disconnect grounding/bonding wires. Make sure the hoses are drained to remove the remaining oil before moving them away from the connection. Use a drip pan. Cap the end of the hose and other connecting devices before moving them to prevent uncontrolled leakage. Remove wheel chocks and interlocks. Inspect the lowermost drain and all outlets on tank truck prior to departure. If necessary, tighten, adjust, or replace caps, valves, or other equipment to prevent oil leaking while in transit. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -22- 3.11 Brittle Fracture Evaluation (40 CFR 112.7(i)) The only field-constructed tank at the facility is Tank #7. All other tanks were shop-built. The shell thickness of Tank #7 is less than one-half inch. As discussed in the American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 653 Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction (API-653), brittle fracture is not a concern for tanks that have a shell thickness of less than one- half inch. This is the extent of the brittle fracture evaluation for this tank. Nonetheless, in the event that Tank #7 undergoes a repair, alteration, reconstruction, or change in service that might affect the risk of a discharge or failure, the container will be evaluated for risk of discharge or failure, following API-653 or an equivalent approach, and corrective action will be taken as necessary. 3.12 Conformance with State and Local Applicable Requirements (40 CFR 112.7(j)) All bulk storage tanks at this facility are registered with the state and local authorities (Stonefield Fire Department) and have current certificates of registration and special use permits required by the local fire code. Both USTs at the facility (Tanks #5 and 6) meet all requirements of Massachusetts UST regulation, including cathodic protection, double-wall construction, and monitoring systems, although Tank #6 is not subject to these requirements. Treated storm water runoff is discharged to Silver Creek as permitted under NPDES permit #MA0001990. The maximum allowable daily oil/grease concentration is 15 mg/L. Grab samples are taken each quarter, following the monitoring requirements specified in the NPDES permit. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -23- PART 4: Discharge Prevention – SPCC Provisions for Onshore Facilities (Excluding Production Facilities) 4.1 Facility Drainage (40 CFR 112.8(b)) Drainage from the concrete dike surrounding tanks 1, 2, and 3 is restrained by a manually- operated gate valve to prevent a discharge from entering the facility drainage system. The gate valve is normally sealed closed, except when draining the secondary containment structure. The content of the secondary containment dike is inspected by facility personnel prior to draining to ensure that only oil-free water is allowed to enter the facility storm water drainage system. The bypass valve is opened and resealed under direct personnel supervision. Drainage events are recorded in the log included in Appendix D to this SPCC Plan. Any potential discharge from ASTs will be restrained by secondary containment structures. Discharges occurring during loading/unloading operations will be restrained by the rollover berm. The facility includes a drainage system and an oil/water separator, which are used to as containment for spill sources outside the main berm areas (fuel dispensing, overfills of 500- gallon AST (Tank#4), and transfers associated with the heating oil tank). The facility is equipped with an oil/water separator engineered to retain oil at the facility. This separator provides environmental protection equivalent to ponds, lagoons, or catchments basins required under 40 CFR 112.8(b)(3) and (4), as allowed in 40 CFR 112.7(a)(2). Discharges outside the containment areas, such as those occurring in the fuel dispensing area or while unloading heating oil, will flow by gravity into the drainage collection area and into the oil/water separator where oil will be retained until it can be pumped out. 4.2 Bulk Storage Containers (40 CFR 112.8(c)) Table 4-1 summarizes the construction, volume, and content of bulk storage containers at Unified Oil facility.

SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -25- All oil tanks used at this facility are constructed of steel, in accordance with industry specifications as described above. The design and construction of all bulk storage containers are compatible with the characteristics of the oil product they contain, and with temperature and pressure conditions. Piping between fixed aboveground bulk storage tanks is made of steel and placed aboveground on appropriate supports designed to minimize erosion and stress. 4.2.2 Secondary Containment (40 CFR 112.8(c)(2)) A dike is provided around Tanks #1, 2, 3, and 7. Tanks #1, 2, and 3 each have a 20,000-gallon capacity. Tank #7 has a 10,000-gallon capacity. The dike has a total containment capacity of 27,316 gallons to allow sufficient volume for the largest tank and freeboard for precipitation. The freeboard is sufficient to contain a 4-inch rainfall corresponding to a 25-year, 24-hour storm event for this region of Massachusetts, as documented in Appendix F of this Plan. The floor and walls of the containment dike are constructed of poured concrete reinforced with steel. The concrete dike was built under the supervision of a structural engineer and in conformance with his specifications to be impervious to oil for a period of 72 hours. The facility is unattended for a maximum of 40 hours (Saturday evening through Monday morning) and therefore any spill into the diked area would be detected before it could escape the diked area. The surface of the concrete floor, the inside and outside of the walls, and the interface of the floor and walls, are visually inspected during the monthly facility inspection to detect any crack, signs of heaving or settlement, or other structural damage that could affect the ability of the dike to contain oil. Any damage is promptly corrected to prevent migration of oil into the ground, or out of the dike. The 500-gallon portable AST tank is of double-wall construction and provides intrinsic secondary containment for 110 percent of the tank capacity. Since the secondary containment is not open to precipitation, this volume is sufficient to fully contain the product in the event of a leak from the primary container. The interstitial space between the primary and secondary containers is inspected on a monthly basis to detect any leak of product from the primary container. The container, however, is not equipped to prevent overfills as required by EPA policy in its memorandum on double-walled tanks. Therefore, general containment is required for potential tank overfills. This containment is accomplished through the facility drainage system and the oil/water separator, which provide environmentally equivalent protection as described in Section 3.1 of this Plan. Both USTs are of double-wall construction and provide intrinsic secondary containment for 110 percent of the tank capacity. The interstitial space between the primary and secondary containers is inspected on a monthly basis to detect any leak of product from the primary container. The 55-gallon drums are placed on spill pallets inside the maintenance shop. Each spill pallet provides 75 gallons of containment capacity, which is more than the required 55 gallons for any single drum since the drums are not exposed to precipitation. The floor of the maintenance shop is impervious and sloped to direct any discharge occurring in the building away from doorways and towards the drainage system that leads to the facility oil/water separator. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -26- 4.2.3 Drainage of Diked Areas (40 CFR 112.8(c)(3)) The concrete dikes are drained under direct supervision of facility personnel. The accumulated water is observed for signs of oil prior to draining. The gate valves are normally kept in a closed position and locked except when draining the dike. Dike drainage events are recorded on the form included in Appendix D of this Plan; records are maintained at the facility for at least three years. 4.2.4 Corrosion Protection (40 CFR 112.8(c)(4)) Both metallic underground storage tanks, including Tank #6, which is subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 112, are coated and cathodically protected to prevent corrosion and leakage into the ground. Pressure testing is performed on both buried storage tanks every two years following the requirements of 40 CFR part 280. The cathodic protection system is tested annually to verify its efficacy. Cathodic protection is provided for both tanks in accordance with 40 CFR part 280 and meets the requirements of 40 CFR part 112. Records of pressure tests are kept for at least three years. 4.2.5 Partially Buried and Bunkered Storage Tanks (40 CFR 112.8(c)(5)) This section is not applicable since there are no partially buried or bunkered storage tanks at this facility. 4.2.6 Inspections and Tests (40 CFR 112.8(c)(6)) Visual inspections of ASTs by facility personnel are performed according to the procedure described in this SPCC Plan. Leaks from tank seams, gaskets, rivets, and bolts are promptly corrected. Records of inspections and tests are signed by the inspector and kept at the facility for at least three years. The scope and schedule of certified inspections and tests performed on the facility’s ASTs are specified in STI Standard SP-001. The external inspection includes ultrasonic testing of the shell, as specified in the standard, or if recommended by the certified tank inspector to assess the integrity of the tank for continued oil storage. Records of certified tank inspections are kept at the facility for at least three years. Shell test comparison records are retained for the life of the tanks. Table 4-2 summarizes inspections and tests performed on bulk storage containers (“EE” indicates that an environmentally equivalent measure is implemented in place of the inspection/test, as discussed in Section 3.1 of this Plan).

The exhaust lines are monitored for signs of leakage as part of the monthly inspection of the facility. 4.2.8 Overfill Prevention Systems (40 CFR 112.8(c)(8)) All tanks are equipped with a direct-reading level gauge. Additionally, all four fixed ASTs (Tanks #1, 2, 3, and 7) are equipped with high level alarms set at 90 percent of the rated capacity. Tank #4 does not have an overfill prevention system. General secondary containment is provided in the event of overfills, as described in this Plan. Storage drums are not refilled, and therefore overfill prevention systems do not apply. Tanks #5 and 6 are equipped with liquid level gauges and overfill protection systems. Liquid level sensing devices are tested on a monthly basis during the monthly inspection of the facility, Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -28- following manufacturer recommendations. Venting capacity is suitable for the fill and withdrawal rates. Facility personnel are present throughout the filling operations to monitor the product level in the tanks. 4.2.9 Effluent Treatment Facilities (40 CFR 112.8(c)(9)) The facility’s storm water effluent discharged into Silver Creek is observed and records maintained according to the frequency required by NPDES permit MA0000157 (at least once per month) to detect possible upsets in the oil/water separator that could lead to a discharge. 4.2.10 Visible Discharges (40 CFR 112.8(c)(10)) Visible discharges from any container or appurtenance – including seams, gaskets, piping, pumps, valves, rivets, and bolts – are quickly corrected upon discovery. Oil is promptly removed from the diked area and disposed of according to the waste disposal method described in Part 5 of this Plan. 4.2.11 Mobile and Portable Containers (40 CFR 112.8(c)(11)) Tank #4 is of double-wall design, which provides for adequate secondary containment in the event of leaks in the primary container shell. The interstitial space is monitored monthly for signs of leakage. Small portable oil storage containers, such as 55-gallon drums, are stored inside the maintenance shop where secondary containment is provided by spill pallets and the floor is sloped to drain away from the floor drains and door. Any discharged material is quickly contained and cleaned up using sorbent pads and appropriate cleaning products. Unified Oil delivery trucks generally return to the facility empty or product is returned to inventory. Whenever they remain at the facility while full for an extended period of time (such as when parking overnight with an emergency load of product), they are positioned in the loading rack/unloading area, which provides 2,500 gallons of secondary containment capacity (i.e., sufficient for the capacity of the delivery truck (2,000 gallons) and additional freeboard for 4 inches of precipitation). 4.3 Transfer Operations, Pumping, and In-Plant Processes (40 CFR 112.8(d)) Transfer operations at this facility include: < The transfer of oil from the underground fuel oil storage tank to the furnace located in the basement of the office building. The oil is pumped from the oil storage tank by means of buried steel fuel lines and a suction pump system. < The filling of facility delivery trucks using the gasoline dispenser. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -29- < The transfer of oil into or from tanker trucks at the loading rack/unloading area. All buried piping at this facility is cathodically protected against corrosion and is provided with a protective wrapping and coating. When a section of buried line is exposed, it is carefully examined for deterioration. If corrosion damage is found, additional examination and corrective action must be taken as deemed appropriate considering the magnitude of the damage. Additionally, Unified Oil conducts integrity and leak testing of buried piping at the time of installation, modification, construction, relocation, or replacement. Records of all tests are kept at the facility for at least three years. Lines that are not in service or are on standby for an extended period of time are capped or blank-flanged and marked as to their origin. All pipe supports are designed to minimize abrasion and corrosion and to allow for expansion and contraction. Pipe supports are visually inspected during the monthly inspection of the facility. All aboveground piping and valves are examined monthly to assess their condition. Inspection includes aboveground valves, piping, appurtenances, expansion joints, valve glands and bodies, catch pans, pipeline supports, locking of valves, and metal surfaces. Observations are noted on the monthly inspection checklist provided in this Plan. Warning signs are posted at appropriate locations throughout the facility to prevent vehicles from damaging aboveground piping and appurtenances. Most of the aboveground piping is located within areas that are not accessible to vehicular traffic (e.g., inside diked area). Brightly painted bollards are placed where needed to prevent vehicular collisions with equipment. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -30- 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, surface water, or soil is prohibited by state and possibly 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; < If possible and safe to do so, identify and shut down source of the discharge to stop the flow; < Contain the discharge with sorbents, berms, fences, trenches, sandbags, or other material; < Contact the Facility Manager or his/her alternate; < Contact regulatory authorities and the response organization; and < Collect and dispose of recovered products according to regulation. 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 H. The list is also posted at prominent locations throughout the facility. A list of discharge response material kept at the facility is included in Appendix J. 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 or to the environment. Minor discharges are generally those where: < The quantity of product discharged is small (e.g., may involve less than 10 gallons of oil); < Discharged material is easily stopped and controlled at the time of the discharge; < Discharge is localized near the source; < Discharged material is not likely to reach water; < There is little risk to human health or safety; and < There is little risk of fire or explosion. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -31- Minor discharges can usually be cleaned up by Unified Oil personnel. The following guidelines apply: < Immediately notify the Facility Manager. < Under the direction of the Facility Manager, contain the discharge with discharge response materials and equipment. Place discharge debris in properly labeled waste containers. < The Facility Manager will complete the discharge notification form (Appendix I) and attach a copy to this SPCC Plan. < If the discharge involves more than 10 gallons of oil, the Facility Manager will call the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Incident Response Division (617-556-1133). 5.2 Response to a Major Discharge A “major” discharge is defined as one that cannot be safely controlled or cleaned up by facility personnel, such as when: < The discharge is large enough to spread beyond the immediate discharge area; < The discharged material enters water; < The discharge requires special equipment or training to clean up; < The discharged material poses a hazard to human health or safety; or < There is a danger of fire or explosion. In the event of a major discharge, the following guidelines apply: < All workers must immediately evacuate the discharge site via the designated exit routes and move to the designated staging areas at a safe distance from the discharge. Exit routes are included on the facility diagram and posted in the maintenance building, in the office building, and on the outside wall of the outside shed that contains the spill response equipment. < If the Facility Manager is not present at the facility, the senior on-site person notifies the Facility Manager of the discharge and has authority to initiate notification and response. Certain notifications are dependent on the circumstances and type of discharge. For example, if oil reaches a sanitary sewer, the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) should be notified immediately. A discharge that threatens Silver Creek may require immediate notification to downstream users such as the town drinking water plant, which has an intake located on Silver Creek. < The Facility Manager (or senior on-site person) must call for medical assistance if workers are injured. < The Facility Manager (or senior on-site person) must notify the Fire Department or Police Department. < The Facility Manager (or senior on-site person) must call the spill response and cleanup contractors listed in the Emergency Contacts list in Appendix H. Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -32- < The Facility Manager (or senior on-site person) must immediately contact the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Incident Response Division (617-556-1133) and the National Response Center (888-424-8802). < The Facility Manager (or senior on-site person) must record the call on the Discharge Notification form in Appendix I and attach a copy to this SPCC Plan. < The Facility Manager (or senior on-site person) coordinates cleanup and obtains assistance from a cleanup contractor or other response organization as necessary. If the Facility Manager is not available at the time of the discharge, then the next highest person in seniority assumes responsibility for coordinating response activities. 5.3 Waste Disposal Wastes resulting from a minor discharge response will be containerized in impervious bags, drums, or buckets. The facility 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 adjoining 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 following information: Name, location, organization, and telephone number Name and address of the party responsible for the incident Date and time of the incident Location of the incident Source and cause of the release or discharge Types of material(s) released or discharged Quantity of materials released or discharged Danger or threat posed by the release or discharge Number and types of injuries (if any) Media affected or threatened by the discharge (i.e., water, land, air) Weather conditions at the incident location Any other information that may help emergency personnel respond to the incident Contact information for reporting a discharge to the appropriate authorities is listed in Appendix H and is also posted in prominent locations throughout the facility (e.g., in the office building, in the maintenance building, and at the loading rack/unloading area). Unified Oil Company, Ltd. SAMPLE Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Version 1.0, 11/28/2005 -33- In addition to the above reporting, 40 CFR 112.4 requires that information be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional Administrator and the appropriate state agency in charge of oil pollution control activities (see contact information in Appendix H) whenever the facility discharges (as defined in 40 CFR 112.1(b)) more than 1,000 gallons of oil in a single event, or discharges (as defined in 40 CFR 112.1(b)) more than 42 gallons of oil in each of two discharge incidents within a 12-month period. The following information must be submitted to the EPA Regional Administrator and to MADEP within 60 days: < Name of the facility; < Name of the owner/operator; < Location of the facility; < Maximum storage or handling capacity and normal daily throughput; < Corrective action and countermeasures taken, including a description of equipment repairs and replacements; < Description of facility, including maps, flow diagrams, and topographical maps; < Cause of the discharge(s) to navigable waters and adjoining shorelines, including a failure analysis of the system and subsystem in which the failure occurred; < Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize possibility of recurrence; and < Other pertinent information requested by the Regional Administrator. A standard report for submitting the information to the EPA Regional Administrator and to MADEP is included in Appendix K of this Plan. 5.5 Cleanup Contractors and Equipment Suppliers Contact information for specialized spill response and cleanup contractors are provided in Appendix H. These contractors have the necessary equipment to respond to a discharge of oil that affects Silver Creek or adjoining shorelines, including floating booms and oil skimmers.

Date Diked Area Presence of Time Time Signature 06/05/2003 Area 1 No oil 08:00 10:00 Susan Blake 07/15/2003 Area 1 No oil 08:20 10:30 Susan Blake APPENDIX E Record of Annual Discharge Prevention Briefings and Training Briefings will be scheduled and conducted by the facility owner or operator for operating personnel at regular intervals to ensure adequate understanding of this SPCC Plan. The briefings will also highlight and describe known discharge events or failures, malfunctioning components, and recently implemented precautionary measures and best practices. Personnel will also be instructed in operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent the discharge of oil, and in applicable pollution laws, rules, and regulations. Facility operators and other personnel will have an opportunity during the briefings to share recommendations concerning health, safety, and environmental issues encountered during facility operations. Date Subjects Covered Employees in Attendance Instructor(s) APPENDIX F Calculation of Secondary Containment Capacity The maximum 24-hour rainfall recorded in the last 25 years at this location is 3.75 inches. Bulk Storage Dike Capacity of Tanks within the Diked Area: Tank 1 = 20,000 gallons (saddle-mounted tank, no significant displacement) Tank 2 = 20,000 gallons (saddle-mounted tank, no significant displacement) Tank 3 = 20,000 gallons (need to account for tank displacement) Tank 7 = 10,000 gallons (on legs, no significant displacement) Dike Dimensions: Dike footprint = 50 feet x 60 feet Dike height = 15 inches = 1.25 feet Dike volume = 50' x 60' x 1.25' = 3750 ft3 x 7.48 gal/ft3 = 28,050 gallons Displacement Volume of Tank 3: Tank diameter = 10 feet 3.1415 * (10 ft)2 / 4 * 1.25' = 98 ft3 x 7.48 gal/ft3 = 734 gallons Available Freeboard for Precipitation: 28,050 gallons - (20,000 gallons + 734 gallons) = 7,316 gallons 7,316 gallons / 7.48 gallons/ft3 / (50 ft x 60 ft) = 0.33 ft = 4 inches The dike therefore provides sufficient storage capacity for the largest bulk storage container within the diked area, tank displacement, and precipitation. The containment capacity is equivalent to 137% of the capacity of the largest container ((28,050 gallons - 734 gallons)/20,000 gallons). Loading Rack/Unloading Area Rollover Berm Capacity of Largest Tank Truck Compartment: 2,000 gallons Berm Dimensions: Berm footprint = 28 feet x 45 feet (50% of the berm surface area is covered by the roof) Berm height = 4.5 inches = 0.375 feet Berm volume = 28 ft x 45 ft x 0.375 ft = 473 ft3 x 7.48 gal/ft3 = 3,534 gallons Available Freeboard for Precipitation: Since 50% of the surface area of the berm is covered by a roof, the volume of precipitation that enters the berm is reduced. Minimum freeboard required = 28 ft x 45 ft x 0.5 x 3.75/12 = 197 ft3 = 1,472 gallons Actual freeboard = 3,534 gallons - 2,000 gallons = 1,534 gallons The berm therefore provides sufficient storage capacity to contain both the largest compartment of tank trucks loading/unloading at the facility, and the volume of precipitation that enters the berm.

Description of facility (attach maps, flow diagrams, and topographical maps): Unified Oil distributes a variety of petroleum products to primarily commercial customers. The facility handles, stores, uses, and distributes petroleum products in the form of gasoline, diesel, No. 2 fuel oil, No. 6 fuel oil, and motor oil. Unified Oil receives products by common carrier via tanker truck. The products are stored in five aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) and in one underground storage tank (UST). They are delivered to customers by Unified Oil trucks or by independent contractors. The facility refuels its own two delivery trucks from an underground diesel tank connected to a fueling pump. Unified Oil is located in a primarily commercial area at 123 A Street in Stonefield, Massachusetts. The site is comprised of approximately 2 acres of land and is bordered to the East by A Street, to the West by Silver Creek, and to the North by ABC Plating Co. Site improvements include an office building, a maintenance shop, a tanker truck loading rack and unloading area, and product storage and handling areas. Petroleum products are stored in the bulk storage area, the maintenance building, and the office building. Agency Notification Standard Report (cont’d) Cause of the discharge(s), including a failure analysis of the system and subsystems in which the failure occurred: Corrective actions and countermeasures taken, including a description of equipment repairs and replacements: Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize possibility of recurrence: Other pertinent information: U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY SPCC FIELD INSPECTION AND PLAN REVIEW CHECKLIST ONSHORE FACILITIES (EXCLUDING OIL DRILLING, PRODUCTION AND WORKOVER) Overview of the Checklist This checklist is designed to assist EPA inspectors in conducting a thorough and nationally consistent inspection of a facility’s compliance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule at 40 CFR part 112. It is a required tool to help federal inspectors (or their contractors) record observations for the site inspection and review of the SPCC Plan. While the checklist is meant to be comprehensive, the inspector should always refer to the SPCC rule in its entirety, the SPCC Regional Inspector Guidance Document, and other relevant guidance for evaluating compliance. This checklist must be completed in order for an inspection to count toward an agency measure (i.e., OEM inspection measures or GPRA). The completed checklist and supporting documentation (i.e. photo logs or additional notes) serve as the inspection report. This checklist addresses requirements for onshore facilities including Tier II Qualified Facilities (excluding facilities involved in oil drilling, production and workover activities) that meet the eligibility criteria set forth in §112.3(g)(2). Separate standalone checklists address requirements for: Onshore oil drilling, production, and workover facilities including Tier II Qualified Facilities as defined in §112.3(g)(2); Offshore drilling, production and workover facilities; and Tier I Qualified Facilities (for facilities that meet the eligibility criteria defined in §112.3(g)(1)) Qualified facilities must meet the rule requirements in §112.6 and other applicable sections specified in §112.6, except for deviations that provide environmental equivalence and secondary containment impracticability determinations as allowed under §112.6. The checklist is organized according to the SPCC rule. Each item in the checklist identifies the relevant section and paragraph in 40 CFR part 112 where that requirement is stated. • Sections 112.1 through 112.5 specify the applicability of the rule and requirements for the preparation, implementation, and amendment of SPCC Plans. For these sections, the checklist includes data fields to be completed, as well as several questions with “yes,” “no” or “NA” answers. • Section 112.6 includes requirements for qualified facilities. These provisions are addressed in Attachment D. • Section 112.7 includes general requirements that apply to all facilities (unless otherwise excluded). • Sections 112.8 and 112.12 specify requirements for spill prevention, control, and countermeasures for onshore facilities (excluding production facilities). The inspector needs to evaluate whether the requirement is addressed adequately or inadequately in the SPCC Plan and whether it is implemented adequately in the field (either by field observation or record review). For the SPCC Plan and implementation in the field, if a requirement is addressed adequately, mark the “Yes” box in the appropriate column. If a requirement is not addressed adequately, mark the “No” box. If a requirement does not apply to the particular facility or the question asked is not appropriate for the facility, mark as “NA”. Discrepancies or descriptions of inspector interpretation of “No” vs. “NA” may be documented in the comments box subsequent to each section. If a provision of the rule applies only to the SPCC Plan, the “Field” column is shaded. Space is provided throughout the checklist to record comments. Additional space is available as Attachment E at the end of the checklist. Comments should remain factual and support the evaluation of compliance. Attachments • Attachment A is for recording information about containers and other locations at the facility that require secondar y containment. • Attachment B is a checklist for documentation of the tests and inspections the facility operator is required to keep with the SPCC Plan. • Attachment C is a checklist for oil spill contingency plans following 40 CFR 109. Unless a facility has submitted a Facility Response Plan (FRP) under 40 CFR 112.20, a contingency plan following 40 CFR 109 is required if a facility determines that secondary containment is impracticable as provided in 40 CFR 112.7(d). The same requirement for an oil spill contingency plan applies to the owner or operator of a facility with qualified oil-filled operational equipment that chooses to implement alternative requirements instead of general secondary containment requirements as provided in 40 CFR 112.7(k). • Attachment D is a checklist for Tier II Qualified Facilities. • Attachment E is for recording additional comments or notes. • Attachment F is for recording information about photos.

They are susceptible to fire and explosion, they can cause chemical burns upon contact with the skin, and prolonged breathing of the product can be dangerous. e. THE INSTRUCTIIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING OF THE CARGO. Instructions are the same for the handling of petroleum products. Keep sparks, open flames, open lights, and other sources of ignition away from the area of handling. Handlers should wear gloves and other protective clothing. Handlers should avoid breathing petroleum vapors directly. APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN Operations Manual Completion Guidelines f. PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED IF THE CARGO SPILLS, LEAKS, OR IF A PERSON IS EXPOSED TO THE CARGO Should a leak or spill occur during the transfer or any petroleum product, stop pumping immediately. Close all valves, stop the leak if possible, contain the escaping fuel, commence clean- up activity and restore things to normal before resuming transfer. If a person is exposed to a petroleum cargo, they should try to avoid breathing the vapors and immediately wash any areas of their body that came in contact with the cargo. g. A LIST OF FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES AND EXTINGUISHING AGENTS EFFECTIVE WITH FIRES INVOLVING THE CARGO. For all fires, sound alarm and immediately eliminate all sources which may feed the fire. Stop all fueling operations and have barge move away from pier if possible. Close all valves and secure electrical breakers. List types and locations of fire extinguishers in the area. Examples of effective agents to use on fires would be dry-chemical fire extinguisher, a high velocity water fog or sand. 6. THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF PERSONS ON DUTY DURING THE TRANSFER OPERATION AND THEIR DUTIES. REASON: Provides person-in-charge with a set of written standards as to the number of personnel required, and their detailed duties. If each person understands and completes his duties, all transfers should be conducted without accident. REQUIREMENT: The COTP requires that a minimum of two persons be on duty during all transfers. One person should be in the area of the pipe headers and the other should be gauging the tanks. EXAMPLE: The Sawbuck Logging Co. will have two facility personnel on duty during all transfer operations. (1) One shall be stationed at the fill-line terminus to: (a) maintain visual contact with the barge tankerman and the storage facility, (b) Monitor the fill connections, and (c) Operate the fill line valves as instructed by the barge operator and the person at the storage facility. (2) The second facility person shall be stationed at the storage facility area to: (a) Monitor the liquid level in the storage tanks, and (b) Operate necessary valves at the storage facility. All dut y personnel shall be in direct communication. 7. THE NAMES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS OF QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFIED UNDER SEC. 154.1026 OF THIS PART AND THE TITLE AND/OR POSITION, AND TELEPHONE NUMBER OF THE COAST GUARD, STATE, LOCAK, AND OTHER PERSONNEL OR AGENCIES, WHO MAY BE CALLED BY EMPLOYEES OF THE FACILITY IN AN EMERGENCY. REASON: Provides a quick reference guide to all points of contact in an emergency. APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN REQUIREMENT AND EXAMPLE: List here the names and numbers of the facility and its main operators, the Coast Guard Marine Safety Office in Anchorage, the local fire and police departments, the local harbormaster and any other departments you feel could be of assistance in the event an emergency occurs. Below is a listing of the main numbers required by the Captain of the Port. COAST GUARD NATIONAL RESPONSE CENTER (pollution) (800) 424-8802 COAST GUARD MARINE SAFETY OFFICE ANCHORAGE (907) 428-4200 ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION (907) 451-2121 ADEC (weekends and after hours) (800) 478-9300 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) (907) 271-5083 FACILITY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL (907) XXX-XXXX MAIN NUMBER OF YOUR FACILILTY (907) XXX-XXXX NUMBER OF YOUR FACILILTY OPERATOR (907) XXX-XXXX YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT (907) XXX-XXXX YOUR LOCAL HARBORMASTER OF FISH AND GAME OFFICER (907) XXX-XXXX 8. THE DUTIES OF THE WATCHMAN, AS REQUIRED BY 33 CFR 155.810 AND 46 CFR 35.05- 15 FOR UNMANNED VESSELS MOORED AT THE FACILITY REASON: Provides procedures for the safety of unmanned barges. All fuel barges are a potential fire of pollution hazard, and their safety must be assured. REQUIREMENT: Duties of a watchman for unmanned vessels moored at your facility can be found in the titles of the Code of Federal Regulations mentioned above. EXAMPLE: There are no unmanned vessels moored at Sawbuck Logging Co. Fuel Transfer Facility. The barge that fuels this facility moors at the barge ramp, discharges its cargo, and departs. 9. A DESCRIPTION OF EACH COMMUNICATION SYSTEM REQUIRED: REASON: All personnel involved in the transfer operation must maintain good, safe communications. All involved personnel must be quickly alerted if a spill or hazardous condition develops. REQUIREMENT: Some type of communication is required between the tankerman on the vessel and the person-in-charge on the facility side of the transfer. Although in extremely small operations, where there is only a short distance between the two persons-in-charge, voice communication could be allowed, but alone is generally not acceptable. When electric means, such as two-way hand held radios are used, federal regulations require that they be intrinsically safe. It is also recommended that the person gauging the storage tanks be provided a means of communication. EXAMPLE: At the Sawbuck Logging Co. facility, during all transfers, two-way hand held VHF radios are used by the barge tankerman, the duty person at the fuel line APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN headers and the duty person at the fuel storage area. All radios are intrinsically wage and meet the Class 1, Division 1, Group C standards. All persons are in direct communications at all times. 10. LOCATION AND FACILITIES OF EACH PERSONNEL SHELTER, IF ANY: REASON: Provides all transfer personnel with a description of the shelter and describes all facilities located with the structure I n the event of an emergency of bad weather. REQUIREMENT: If there is some sort of shoreside shelter adjacent to the transfer area, perhaps housing a telephone, coffee pot, raingear, first aid equipment, etc. state its location. The regulations do not require a personnel shelter. However, if you have no shelter, so state. EXAMPLE: Sawbuck Logging Co. has one small personnel shelter located at the end of the fuel pier. This shelter contains a telephone, first aid supplies, sorbent pads, toilet facilities and a copy of the facility operation manual. 11. A DESCRIPTION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE OF DRIP AND DISCHARGE COLLECTION AND VESSEL SLOP RECEPTION FACILITIES, IF ANY: REASON: Ensures that the facility meets requirements for the collection of oil from discharges at the marine header and provides instruction to transfer personnel on their correct use. Containment that is too small or improperly used is a major source of many oil spills. REQUIREMENT: List the types and locations of discharge containment equipment used by your facility at the fuel transfer site. Containment capacity must be 84 gallons if it serves one or more hoses of 6-inch inside diameter or smaller. Containment must be 126 gallons if it serves one of more hoses with an inside diameter of more than six inches but less then 12 inches. The facility may use portable drip pans of not less than 21 gallons capacity each if permanent oil containment collection is not feasible. If there is a slop reception tank at your fuel facility, describe it. EXAMPLE: The Sawbuck Logging Co. has one tank overflow monitoring device for each fuel tank at the facility. The electronic monitoring device will sound an alarm when the level of fuel reaches the level at which the tank is full. 12. GIVE A DESCRIPTION AND THE LOCATION OF ERACH EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN SYSTEM: REASON: All personnel must know the location and operation of all emergency shutdown systems. Should an emergency occur, it would be too late. Detailed actions must be known beforehand. APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN Operations Manual Completion Guidelines REQUIREMENT: In the event of a fire, spill or other emergency occurs, fuel transfer should be shut down in accordance with 33 C.F.R. 154.550. In most cases, an emergency shutdown will be done by the personnel involved with the transfer. Describe the duties of each person laid out in your emergency shutdown plan. The facility when transferring to a vessel must be able to stop the flow of oil in 60 seconds or less on any facility which started operations on or before November 1, 1980; and 30 seconds or less on any facility which started operations after November 1, 1980. EXAMPLE: At the Sawbuck Logging Co. facility, two-way VHF radios are used by all persons involved in a fuel transfer. Should an emergency occur, the barge’s crew would be instructed to shutdown immediately. The hose watch would close the valves at the pipe headers. The storage tank watch would close the valves at the base of each tank. All valves would then be closed to contain the product in the pipeline. 13. GIVE THE QUANTITY, TYPE, LOCATION, AND INSTRUCTIONS OF MONITORING DEVICES IF REQUIRED BY 33 CFR 154.525: REQUIREMENT: The COTP may require the facility to install monitoring devices if the installation of monitoring devices at the facility would significantly limit the size of a discharge. If there are no Coast Guard requirements, there still could be an EPA or ADEC requirement for monitoring devices. 14. GIVE THE QUANTITY, TYPES, LOCATIONS, INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND THE LIMITS FOR GAINING ACCESS TO THE CONTAINMENT EQUIPMENT: REASON: If a spill does occur, transfer personnel must know this information to quickly contain the spill. This also provides the Coast Guard with valuable information in planning a response to a spill. REQUIREMENT: Each facility must have ready access to enough oil containment materials and equipment to contain any oil discharged on the water from operations at that facility. For the purpose of this section, “access” may be direct ownership, joint ownership, cooperative venture, or contractual agreement. The COTP Western Alaska requires that the facility be able to deploy containment material and equipment within 30 minutes. If the facility has a response plan then you may reference those sections rather than listing the equipment. EXAMPLE: The Sawbuck Logging Co. keeps three 100’ sections of deployable boom on the fuel pier during each oil transfer, therefore it may be deployed within a matter of minutes should a spill occur. In addition, four 50-pound bales of sorbent pads are located in the personnel shelter on the fuel pier. Should this material become exhausted, or more is needed in a timely manner, we can call upon George’s Barge Company, APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN Mullet’s Marine Supply, or the local Harbormaster for backup equipment. Material can be obtained from all three within an hour. 15. LIST THE QUANTITIES, TYPES, LOCATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF ALL FIRE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT: REASON: If a fire should occur, this information is essential for a rapid, effective response. This also allows the Coast Guard to determine if an adequate number of fire-fighting appliances are on hand. REQUIREMENT: Give the number and types of fire extinguishers available at the transfer site and be certain your personnel are instructed in the use of each. Make their locations known, such as on your facility plan or blueprint. EXAMPLE: Sawbuck Logging Co. keeps a 20 pound dry chemical hand-held fire extinguisher at the fuel line terminals located on the fuel pier. Another 20-pound dry chemical hand- held fire extinguisher is carried to the fuel storage area prior to each transfer. In addition, two 10-pound hand help chemical extinguishers are kept in the personnel shelter, located on the fuel storage pier. The location of each extinguisher is clearly marked. The actual location, plus a symbol for a fire extinguisher, is noted on your facility diagram. All personnel involved in the transfers have been trained in the use of this equipment. Instructions for the use of our extinguishers are all the same: 1) HOLD UPRIGHT, PULL RING PIN. 2) STAND BACK 8-10 FEET, AIM AT BASE OF FIRE. 3) SQUEEZE LEVER AND SWEEP FROM SIDE TO SIDE. 16. THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WORKINIG PRESSURE FOR EACCH LOADING ARM, TRANSFER PIPE SYSTEM, AND THE HOSE ASSEMBLY REQUIRED TO BE TESTED BY SEC. 156.170 OF THIS CHAPTER, INCLUDING THE MAXIMUM RELEIF VALVE SETTING (OR MAXIMUM SYSTEM PRESSURE WHEN RELIEF VALVES ARE NOT PROVIDED)} FOR EACH TRANSFER SYSTEM: REASON: This section is nee4ded to prevent over-pressuring the system, popping relief valves or rupturing hoses or piping. A rupture of a transfer hose usually results in a large spill. REQUIREMENT: List the maximum allowable working pressure for your transfer system. Also list the maximum system pressure if your transfer system does not include a relief valve. EXAMPLE: The transfer systems at the Sawbuck Logging Co. facility have no relief valve installed. However, all lines and hoses are hydrostatically tested each year at a pressure of 225 PSI. All lines are physically labeled as having a maximum allowable working pressure of 150 PSI. APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN 17. PROCEDURES FOR: i. OPERATING EACH LOADING ARM INCLUDING THE LIMITATIONS OF EACH LOADING ARM; REASON: It is imperative that both the facility personnel and the barge tankerman are familiar with the loading arms and do not try to exceed their limits. REQUIREMENT: Most small transfer facilities do not have loading arms. If that is the case with your facility, so state. EXAMPLE: There are no loading arms at the Sawbuck Logging Co. facility. ii. TRANSFERRIING OIL: REASON: By requiring standard written transfer procedures, the chances of an oil spill caused by negligence or unfamiliarity are greatly reduced. This also allows the COTP to review your procedures and determine if they are adequate. REQUIREMENT: List the procedures required by your facility and the Coast Guard n conjunction with all fuel transfers. Begin with the procedures conducted prior to the transfer. This will include the transfer conference between the barge or vessel tankerman and the shoreside facility personnel. Once a Declaration of Inspection has been signed, all personnel should be aware of their duties. Describe each person’s duties at the beginning of the transfer and their duties throughout the transfer. These procedures must be in compliance with 33 CFR 156. EXAMPLE: Prior to each transfer at the Sawbuck Logging Co. facility all shoreside personnel involved meet with the tankerman of the barge. We establish the fact that one man will be stationed at the shoreside fuel line terminals and another will be stationed at the fuel storage site. All personnel are to be in continuous communications via two- way hand-held radios. A Declaration of Inspection is signed, and we report to our individual stations. The tankerman announces what fuel and into what line he will first begin pumping. When oil reaches the shoreside fuel line terminus, and valves are adjusted, the man at the storage tanks is alerted. When fuel continues up the line, the man at the storage tanks adjusts his valves to permit proper flow into the tanks. Personnel are constantly on the alert for fuel line ruptures or hose coupling leaks during this early period. When everything appears to be running normally, pumping pressure may be slightly increased, not to 3xceed the maximum allowable working pressure, and see how the hoses and piping are going to behave, we walk the line every 10-15 minutes to check for leaks or chafing. APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN Operations Manual Completion Guidelines iii. COMPLETION OF PUMPING: REASON: By requiring standard written procedures to be followed at the completion of each transfer, the chance of a spill due to negligence or unfamiliarity is greatly reduced. By reviewing your procedures, the COTP can determine if they are adequate. REQUIREMENT: State the procedures agreed upon between your shoreside personnel and the barge tankerman for completing a transfer and unhooking all equipment without causing damage, EXAMPLE: At the termination of a fuel transfer at Sawbuck Logging Co., a designated person-in- charge will personally monitor any topping-off procedures. The Barge quits pumping fuel and its valves are closed first to help eliminate the possibility of building excessive pressure in the shoreside lines and causing a rupture. Once the shoreside valves are closed, the fueling lines are carefully disconnected at the header and walked towards the storage tank, emptying all fuel remaining in the hose into the storage tank. All valves are then rechecked for proper closure. The transfer line is then capped on each end and properly stored for the next transfer. iv. EMERGENCIES REASON: To ensure personnel involved in the transfer are versed in emergency procedures and valuable time and resources are not waster during an emergency when quick action is required. REQUIREMENT: List agencies to be contacted in the event an emergency arises. List the emergency shut-down procedures to be flowed by all personnel involved. Ensure all personnel are very familiar with the procedures. EXAMPLE: At the Sawbuck Logging Co. facility, a list of all agencies to be contacted in an emergency are posted in the front office. All personnel involved with transfers must have previously read, understood and initialed an outline of our established emergency procedures. In the event of a product spill, fire, etc., procedures require personnel to secure pumping immediately, close tank and line valves and make an immediate report to the appropriate local, federal and company personnel. Our emergency procedures are discussed with the barge tankerman prior to the signing of the Declaration of Inspection. The Coast Guard NRC will be contacted at 1-800-424-8802 18. PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING AND THE INITIAL CONTAINMENT OF OIL DISCHARGES: REASON: To ensure an appropriate established policy has been set and is familiar to all personnel involved in transfer operations should a discharge occur. APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN Operations Manual Completion Guidelines REQUIREMENT: List procedures to be followed at your facility in the event of an accidental discharge. Determine the source of the spill if not obvious, determine best response methods for containment and clean-up of various types of spills. List all agencies which must be notified in the event of a discharge. A facility person-in-charge must immediately notify the National Response Center as soon as they have knowledge of any discharge of oil from the facility. EXAMPLE: Oil discharge detection at the Sawbuck Logging Co. facility is usually by direct observation. There are no electronic or mechanical monitoring systems. The storage tanks and associated fuel lines are visually inspected twice weekly. Once a spill has been detected, immediate action will be taken to determine the exact source of the spill and confirm its magnitude. It is essential that these first steps be taken to ensure accurate spill reporting and to avoid overreaction. If the spill can easily be stopped at the source, and the discharge can be quickly contained or picked up, this important initial response would follow containment and clean-up. All reports would be to the Sawbuck front office, who would record pertinent data. The front office would in turn notify the appropriate agencies. 19. A BRIEF SUMMARY OF APPLICIABNLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL OIL POLLUTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS: REASON: To ensure all personnel involved with oil transfers are familiar with the laws of all agencies that pertain to them. This also insures the COTP that the facility has this information on record. REQUIRMENT AND EXAMPLE: List the following text as written or as given by USCG, EPA, and ADEC: FEDERAL LAW: Requires the immediate reporting of all spills of oil and hazardous substances. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 made it unlawful to discharge oil “into or upon the navigable waters of the United states, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon waters of contiguous zone.” [33 USC 1321 (b)(3)]. Immediate reporting of such discharges is required by both the USCG and EPA. The responsibility is established in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan, 40 CFR 15410.36(b)(1) and (2). Spills on inland waters are the responsibility of the EPA, while the Coast Guard has jurisdiction for coastal waters, ports and harbors. ALASKA LAW: 18 AAC 75.300, requires that the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) be notified of any discharge of oil or hazardous substances onto the water, and any sudden or cumulative discharge of oil in excess of 55 gallons solely to land “as soon as the person (in charge of the facility) has knowledge” of the incident. Spills soley to land in excess of 10 gallons, but less than 55 gallons, are to be reported within 48 hours. Spills in excess of 55 gallons to and “impermeable containment area” are to be reported within 48 hours. Direct verbal contact must be APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN made with ADEC. ADEC will contact all other state agencies requiring notifications. ADEC regulations contained in 18 AAC 75.307(c) stipulate that a written report must be submitted within fifteen days of completion of cleanup for any spill in excess of 10 gallons and is to include: (1) Date and time of discharge. (2) Location of the discharge. (3) The name of the facility. (4) The name, mailing address, and telephone number of (A) the person or persons causing or responsible for the discharge; and (B) the owner and operator of the facility (5) Type(s) and amount(s) of hazardous substance(s) discharged. (6) Causes of the discharge. (7) Environmental damage caused by the discharge. (8) Cleanup actions undertaken. (9) Estimated amount of: (A) hazardous substance cleaned up: and (B) hazardous waste generated; (10) Date, location and method of disposal of hazardous substance and contaminated cleanup materials. (11) Actions being taken to prevent recurrence of the discharge. (12) Other information ADEC requires to assess is cause and impact of spill. In addition, 18 AAC 75.307 indicated that ADEC may require interim reports during cleanup. A notification format can be obtained from ADEC. 20. PROCEDURES FOR SHIELDING PORTABLE LIGHTING AUTHORIZED BY THE COTP UNDER 33 CFR 154.570(c). REASON: Lighting must be located or shielded so as not to mislead or otherwise interfere with navigation on the adjacent waterways. REQUIREMENT: List how portable lighting will be shielded. EXAMPLE: No portable lighting is used at the Sawbuck Logging Co. facility. Should darkness occur during our hours of operation, 8:00a.m. to 5:00p.m., illumination will be provided by the fuel barge. 21. A DESCRIPTION OF THE TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIO PROGRAM FOR THE DESIGNATED PERSONS-IN-CHARGE AT YOUR FACILITY: REASON: To ensure your persons-in-charge have undergone training for their position of responsibility. REQUIRMENT: Persons designated by the facility as persons-in-charge must have had at least 48 hours of experience in oil transfer operations at a fuel facility and have had enough experience at the particular facility for which they are being APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & RESPONSE PLAN designated. However, at new facilities, the COTP may authorize alternative experience requirements. In this case, the facility operator must ensure his designees are familiar with the hazards of each product to be transferred, the facility operating procedures as described in the operations manual, each facility oil transfer control system, all local discharge reporting procedures and the facilities contingency plan for discharge reporting and containment. Describe the qualifications of your facility’s persons-in-charge. EXAMPLE: All persons-in-charge at the Sawbuck Logging Co. Fuel Facility have had no less than 48 hours of experience in transfer operations at a facility to which this standard applies. All have had enough experience at this facility to enable the facility operator to determine that his experience is adequate. All are aware of the hazards of the cargoes involved, the procedures for transfer as described in our operations manual, and procedures for discharge reporting and containment. 22. STATEMENT EXPLAINING THAT EACH HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSFER HOSE IS MARKED WITH EITHER THE NAME OF EACH PRODUCT WITH MAY BE TRANSFERRED THROUGH THE HOSE OR WITH LETTERS, NUMBERS OR OTHER SYMBOLS REPRESENTING ALL SUCH PRODUCTS IN THE LOCATION IN THE OPERATIONS MANUAL WHERE A CHART OR LIST OF THE SYMBOLS USED AND THE LIST OF THE COMPATABLE PRODUCTS WHICH MAY BE TRANBSFERRED THROUGH THE HOSE AND CAN BE FOUND FOR CONSULTATION BEFORE EACH TRANSFER. REASON: To prevent incompatible products from being transferred through the same hose. REQUIREMENT: For may small or remote facilities, the barge company supplies the hoses for transfer. If you have your own hoses, state what products your hoses are marked for. EXAMPLE: At Sawbuck Logging Co. fuel facility, we maintain two transfer hoses marked as follows: UNL for Unleaded Gasoline, and Diesel for #1 and #2 Diesel APPENDIX D - OPERATIONS MANUAL & REPSONSE PLAN USCG RESPONSE PLAN CHECKLIST Facility: Date Reviewed: Reviewed By: Yes No Cite Requirement Comment 154.1035(a) Introduction, table of contents and cross index (a)(1) Facility name, address, telephone and FAX numbers, mailing address if different then street address (a)(2) Facility’s geographic location (a)(3) 24 hour procedures for contacting facilities owner or operator (a)(4) Table of Contents (a)(5) Cross reference.
