Containers that do not contain free liquid need not be considered in this determination. Run-on into the containment system must be prevented unless the collection system has sufficient capacity, in addition to the above requirement, to contain any run-on that might enter the system. Spilled or leaked material and accumulated precipitation must be removed from the collection area in as timely a manner as is necessary to prevent overflow of the collection system. SPILL REPORTING AND DOCUMENTATION PROCESS All spills shall be reported immediately to the Safety Department regardless of whether the spill occurs on or off B&B property. Visible leaks, which result in a loss of product from drum seams, gaskets, rivets and bolts sufficiently large to cause an accidental accumulation shall be considered a leak and promptly reported. Spills smaller than 1,000 gallons will be first controlled and then remediated. A record of these spill events will be completed and filed at the B&B facility for a period of three years after the event. Significant spills (more than 1,000 gallons) are address in B&B's, "Spill Prevention and Countermeasure Plan". Spill reporting at the B&B facility will be directed [o the Safety Officer ofthe B&B facility. It will be the Safety Officer's responsibility to call the National Response Center, if necessary. If a spill impacts navigable waters of the United Stales, the National Response Center will be notified. FACTLITY INSPECTION, DOCUMENTATION AND TRAINING The B&B facility will complete inspections every three months (quarterly) to verify berm integrity. B&B supervisors, responsible for work areas where containers are stored, will inspect those areas on a regular basis looking for leaking containers, for deterioration of containers and for corrosion or other factors which might compromise the containment system. The inspector will be familiar with this plan. Any changes from this plan will be noted. Upgrades will be made where needed, and addendum to [he plan will be made, if necessary. This plan will be made available to personnel as a training tool for spill prevention. Training in the use and management of bulk containers shall be considered as a Noo-Routine Task under the HCP and special training shall be conducted in accordance with that policy. Training is required in spill prevention for all employees in accordance with B&B's HCP. SPILL PREVENTION PROVISIONS Any spill event would be considered an unusual event at the B&B facility and would be handled with appropriate care. Potential drum failures could occur due to possible seam, gasket, rivet or bolt failure, corrosion leaks, vandalism, valve failure or dispenser failure. None of these potential spill scenarios has been a significant problem, but they aze listed here to identify some of the more common problems owner operators may have to deal with.
