3.0 SPILL COUNTERMEASURES CC &V recognizes that engineering, structural, and management controls are not always going to prevent the occurrence of spills. Therefore, the following narrative describes how a spill will be cleaned up (general countermeasures). For a detailed descriptions of spill response procedures see Section 5 of this SRP /SPCC. 3.1 Responsibilities of Response Coordinator and CC &V Team Members Timm Comer will act as the Environmental Response Coordinator for CC &V under the auspices of this Environmental Response Plan. As Environmental Response Coordinator, Timm Comer's responsibilities will include: (1) implementing this plan in the event a spill occurs, (2) coordinating the clean -up activities, (3) filling out the appropriate forms to document the spill, (4) ensuring compliance with all provisions of this plan, and (5) providing the required training for employees in the procedures defined in this plan. It is the responsibility of each CC &V Team Member to prevent releases of fluids that might contaminate water draining from the site and to control such releases should they occur. However, in the event of a spill it is imperative that any Team Member with knowledge of a release immediately notifies his /her supervisor and then completes an Internal Spill Report form (Appendix A). Supervisors or second level responders are responsible for notifying the Environmental Resources Department when releases occur. Releases exceeding the RQ listed in Section 1.1 of this SRP /SPCC must be brought to the attention of the Environmental Resources Department immediately. 3.2 General Spill Response Guidelines Each CC &V Team Member will consider the ramifications of a spill or release whenever handling fluids or solids subject to this SRP /SPCC. Individual and joint assessment of the risk for a spill, or, in other words, "awareness and common sense," are two of the most important spill prevention and countermeasure tools. An outline of the procedures to be followed when a spill or release occurs is presented on the following page and on the document cover of this SRP and in the ERP under the SPILL RESPONSE tab. Detailed spill response guidelines and countermeasures are provided in Section 5. Each CC&V team member should think carefully when following this outline and steps will not be omitted unless they are clearly not applicable in a specific situation. Personal safety is the first consideration whenever responding to a spill or release subject to this SRP /SPCC. The spill responder will have the appropriate training and expertise in spill control before commencing a clean -up operation.
