Clean -up of Spills Around Mobile Equipment <br />Clean up of small spills can be addressed with sorbent materials (pads, oil dry, "kitty litter ", and /or <br />sand) by placing these materials directly into the spilled pool of oil or grease. Sorbent pads that have <br />been used to remove petroleum products, including antifreeze, greases and oils, can be disposed of <br />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 transferwill 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 />Free liquids with an oily sheen that are collected during mobile servicing in the field will be pumped or <br />gravity fed into appropriate containers. Oils mixed with water will be hauled to the oil skimmer sump <br />located at the New Truck Shop Wash Bay or shipped off site for recycle. <br />4.1.5.6 Inspections and Tank Integrity Testing for Mobile Equipment <br />Monthly visual inspections of the mobile equipment tanks will be conducted. Tanks on mobile <br />operating equipment will not be subject to the integrity testing protocols <br />4.1.5.7 Conformance with Regulations for Mobile Equipment <br />Applicable state and local guidelines are assumed to be the same as the Federal Regulations at 40 <br />CFR Part 112, and therefore, under §112.7(j) the tanks mounted on mobile equipment are in <br />compliance with applicable requirements with respect to secondary containment. <br />4.1.6 Electrical Gear (Transformers and Substations) <br />On the CC &V property are a large number of electrical substations and transformers to supply power <br />to buildings and process areas. The tank inventory table in Appendix C provides a description of the <br />electrical gear and the volume of oil in each unit. <br />4.1.6.1 Storage and Use of Petroleum Products In Electrical Gear <br />Oil is used in transformers to prevent overheating. Various sizes of transformer units require different <br />amounts of oil, as indicated in the inventory table in Appendix C. <br />4.1.6.2 Quantities of Material Stored and Secondary Containment for Electrical Gear <br />See the inventory table in Appendix C. <br />4.1.6.3 Spill Potential of Materials Contained in Electrical Gear <br />The overall spill potential for electrical transformers is low. Most of the units are new, modern <br />installations, and are mounted on concrete slabs. <br />4.1.6.4 Spill Prevention and Control for Electrical Gear <br />In the Preamble to 40 CFR Part 112 as given in the Federal Register, July 17, 2002, pages <br />47054 -5, it states: "Facilities that use oil operationally include electrical substations, facilities <br />containing electrical transformers, and certain hydraulic or manufacturing equipment. The <br />requirements for bulk storage containers may not always apply to these facilities.
