The most important activity to prevent spills at the New Truck Shop is operator care in the transfer of <br />fluids, using common sense and diligence in making sure connections are secure, drip pans are in <br />place, and containers are positioned to receive fluids properly. <br />Bulk storage of petroleum products is primarily inside the New Truck Shop building in the Oil Room. <br />The New Truck Shop Oil Room is a secondary containment in itself, with a concrete floor and footings <br />that extend up at least one foot from the floor in order to provide 43,000 gallons of containment <br />capacity. Spills from tanks in the Oil Room, whether from tank rupture, overfilling, or pump / piping <br />leaks, will be contained inside the containment structure. The containment structure is more than <br />adequate to hold 110% of the volume of the largest tank (12,000 gallons; see Table 4 above). <br />Mounted on the wall of the New Truck Shop Oil Room is an electronic display panel that monitors the <br />volume of materials in the various tanks. <br />There is a thirteen - connection fill manifold located outside the building on the north side of the New <br />Truck Shop. The 13 off- loading connections on this manifold are directly linked to the tanks in the <br />New Truck Shop Oil Room. All fill lines are fitted with back -flow check valves located near the <br />outside - terminus of the fill lines. The off- loading area is built on a concrete containment pad that <br />slopes inward to the building and there is a sump beneath the pad that will collect spills. Collected <br />fluids in the sump can be pumped to the used oil storage tank. No overfill warning devices are <br />installed. <br />The majority of the used oil is burned in oil -fired boilers that provide heat to the New Truck Shop. Off - <br />site disposal of used oil occurs on very irregular basis when there is a surplus of used oil. Prior to <br />these transfers of used oil, tank reading will be obtained from the storage tank to estimate the volume <br />of used oil remaining in the tank. Any transfers of used oil from the storage tank to a transporter's <br />truck will be continually attended by the transporter to monitor for leaks and /or spillage. A spill of <br />antifreeze will be managed separately from used oil and will be placed in a container labeled "used <br />antifreeze." <br />4.1.2.5 Spill Countermeasures (Clean -up Procedures) at the New Truck Shop <br />Section 3.2 provides the general spill response procedures for use at the New Truck Shop. The <br />following narrative provides additional detail on spill clean up. <br />Small Spills Outside of Containment Structures <br />Spills from totes, drums, or pails can be contained entirely within the New Truck Shop building and <br />relatively easily removed from the concrete floor. Material spilled within the building will be recovered <br />with a sorbent material (sorbent pads, pillows, oil dry, bentonite or "kitty litter "). Sorbent pads that <br />have been used to remove petroleum products, including fuels, antifreeze, and oils, can be disposed <br />of as a conventional solid waste and can be placed into the commercial solid waste containers <br />(dumpsters) at various locations around the property, provided no solvents or other potentially <br />hazardous wastes have been added. Sorbent materials that have been saturated with oil but are not <br />dripping can be disposed as conventional solid waste. <br />Leaks or spills of petroleum products during transport or during product transfer will create an oil stain <br />on the ground surface. CC &V's clean -up policy is as follows: If the majority ( >50 %) of the area <br />consisting of 9 square feet (3 feet by 3 feet) is affected (stained), then the affected area will be <br />removed (i.e., the soil and oil mixture) and placed in the blast hole stemming material pile or as <br />directed by the Environmental Resources Department. <br />Large Spills Outside of Containment Structures <br />Available earth- moving equipment will be used to excavate a trench and sump system to retain the <br />spill in the immediate vicinity of the spill. Fluids should be recovered into barrels or tanks quickly to <br />minimize seepage. Straw bales may be used to absorb the remaining fluid. Sorbent soils or <br />commercial sorbents may also be used to absorb the fluid. <br />Spill Response Plan August 17, 2010 <br />EMS: AGANA/CCV Doc. # E -006 <br />G: \EMS \Plans\Emergency Response Plans\SRP Plan \SRP Plan.doc Revision 05 <br />Printed Copies are Uncontrolled <br />17 <br />
