• Check the vehicle or equipment. Ensure that it has been properly maintained and there <br />are no POL leaks prior to operation. <br />• Stage vehicles in a central location, away from water bodies or other sensitive areas. <br />• Position equipment so that valves, piping, tanks, or other fuel-containing parts are <br />protected from damage by other vehicles or equipment. <br />• Verify that adequate secondary containment and absorbents are on site. <br />• Before starting any fuel transfer operation, inspect all hoses, connections, valves, etc. <br />Ensure that these items have been properly maintained and all connections are properly <br />tightened. <br />• Use secondary containment or absorbents under all appropriate connections, vents, or <br />any other likely source of spillage. Use as many secondary containers as necessary. <br />• During fuel transfer, maintain line of sight with equipment operator and/or all connections <br />and other potential sources of spillage. <br />• Never leave a fuel transfer unattended. <br />• Maintain secondary containment while disconnecting filling hoses. <br />• Maintain drive-in protection for all portable ASTs. <br />Should a release be detected from an AST or drum, or from overfilling, the following <br />procedures will be performed, at a minimum: <br />• Immediately notify the Elam facility manager. <br />• Take immediate measures, using properly protected personnel, to control and contain the <br />spilled material. <br />• Notify the appropriate regulatory agencies as required (i.e., CDPHE's 24-hour Emergency <br />Response Notification Number [1-877-518-5608], the Pitkin County EH/NR Department, <br />and the Aspen Fire Protection District [if potential fire danger occurs]). The State Oil <br />Inspector's office will be contacted if a release of more than 25 gallons occurs from an <br />AST. <br />• Isolate the area and keep all unnecessary personnel out of the area. <br />• Obtain an appropriate container to package the spilled material. <br />• Pump or scoop up the spilled material and any additional contaminated soil, and place it <br />in a container. <br />• Keep ignition sources and combustibles away from the spilled material. <br />• Photograph and document the spill response activities. <br />Vagneur Pit- WRPP 6 September 1, 2006
