PURPOSE AND USE OF THIS PLAN

The facility is required to comply with the Oil Pollution Prevention regulations described within Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations [40 CFR Part 112] since the aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity at the facility is over 1,320 gallons, and since the facility’s location could reasonably be expected to discharge oil into a waterway or associated conveyance (i.e. storm drain).

The regulations apply to oil of any kind or in any form (including but not limited to gasoline, diesel, fuel oil, motor oil, synthetic oil, mineral oil, gear oil, hydraulic oil, used oil, transmission fluid, engine fluids, metalworking fluids, compressor lubricants, turbine lubricants, asphalt cement, asphalt emulsions, asphalt cutbacks, grease, animal fats, and vegetable oils).

A discharge includes, but is not limited to, any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping of oil.

The regulations require that the facility prepare and maintain a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan to minimize the potential for a discharge and to minimize the hazards to human health and the environment from an unplanned discharge.

The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment – Division of Oil and Public Safety’s Storage Tank Regulations [7 CCR 1101-14] have no additional requirements in specific regards to the contents of a facility’s SPCC Plan.

The facility’s conformance with the Federal and State SPCC requirements are generally satisfied if the measures presented in this plan are followed.

1.0 DISCHARGE

PREVENTION

This section provides an overview of prevention measures that shall be followed to minimize the potential for a discharge of oil. The table in Section 4.0 summarizes the oil containing tanks, containers, and equipment that are located at this facility. Figures showing the locations of the oil containing items are presented in Appendix A. Detailed descriptions of the oil containing items are presented in Appendix G. 1.1 FACILITY’S DISCHARGE HISTORY

Knowledge of the facility’s historical oil discharge events can aid in the prevention of a future discharge. No discharges of oil into a waterway have occurred at this facility since operated by the City of Colorado Springs. However, the following are noteworthy events:

▼ In 2005, an approximately 107 gallon diesel fuel spill occurred at the vehicle fueling area within the maintenance building. The spill was caused when a bus drove away with the fuel dispensing hose attached. Under normal conditions, the break-away valve on the hose would have been activated and the fuel flow stopped; however, the valve had previously been broken, and had not been replaced. There was no break-away valve on the hose at the time of the incident. This fueling area has a floor drain that captures spills and conveys them to an oil / water separator (Stormceptor STC 900) located west of the building, which provides a means of secondary containment. This oil / water separator’s effluent drains into the sanitary sewer system. The diesel fuel was reportedly contained entirely within the oil / water separator, where it was removed by a contracted recycler. To reduce the potential for reoccurrence, a spare break-away valve was to be maintained on-site.

▼ In 2004 and 2006, subsurface diesel fuel releases associated with the two on-site underground storage tanks (USTs) located adjacent to the northern exterior wall of the maintenance facility were discovered during tank modification activities. The releases were both associated with damaged / leaking spill containment buckets on each tank. Activities were performed to remove the adversely affected soil and proper repairs were made to the system. To reduce the potential for reoccurrence, it is important that the tanks be regularly inspected and that needed repairs be promptly performed. 1.2 NEARBY SURFACE WATER AND FACILITY DRAINAGE FEATURES

Knowledge of the site and vicinity’s drainage characteristics in relation to nearby waterways is important in the event of a discharge in order to promptly implement the necessary control measures. The predominant surface water features in the vicinity of the site are the Fountain Mutual Irrigation Canal and Fountain Creek, which are located ~1,500 and ~3,600 feet south of the site, respectively. The local ground surface topography generally slopes southerly, toward these waterways. The facility’s ground surface run-off generally flows over pavements to 13 on-site storm drains.

With regards to 1145 Transit Drive, the area between the bus canopy and vehicle maintenance building (where the two USTs are located) and from the area west of the vehicle maintenance building, surface

(7)

run-off flows into storm drains that first go through an oil / sand interceptor (Stormceptor STC 2400) before entering the storm sewer system. Surface run-off beneath the bus canopy, and from inside the vehicle maintenance building, flows to drains that first go through an oil / sand interceptor (Stormceptor STC 900) before entering the sanitary sewer.

With regards to 1165 Transit Drive, the fueling AST’s product transfer containment area is comprised of a sloped concrete basin with central inlet that is piped to an underground oil / water separator (Highland Tank), which then discharges to the storm sewer system. The separator contains an oil / water interface float switch. When the switch is activated, an audible / visual alarm will sound, and an electronic butterfly valve installed on the outlet of the separator will close. The system will then back-up and fill the containment area. Inside the building, the vehicle wash bay’s floor drain flows to an oil / sand interceptor located west of the building, which discharges to the sanitary sewer. The other building floor drains reportedly flow to an oil / sand interceptor located south of the building, which discharges to the sanitary sewer.

If an uncontained discharge entered the facility’s storm sewer system, it would discharge to the ground surface ~1,000 feet south of the site, then travel as surface flow for ~200 feet, then re-enter a section of storm sewer that discharges to the Fountain Mutual Irrigation Canal.

The Fountain Mutual Irrigation Canal contains a diversion. If open, the diversion may route the discharge easterly along the canal to the Big Johnson Reservoir, which is located south of Colorado Springs Airport. If the diversion is closed, the discharge would continue southerly to Fountain Creek.

The anticipated off-site routes of a discharge to the Fountain Mutual Irrigation Canal and Fountain Creek are presented in Figure A-1. These routes are critical for reporting and response activities in the event that a discharge enters an on-site storm drain [40 CFR 109.5(b)(2)]. Fountain Creek is considered the highest priority water-way to be protected in the event of a discharge [40 CFR 109.5(d)(5)].

The predicted flows of discharges from each of the on-site oil containing items are discussed on the data sheets within Appendix G.

1.3 BULK STORAGE CONTAINERS

Bulk storage container means any container used to store oil of any kind, with the exception of containers smaller than 55 gallons, underground storage tanks in compliance with State tank regulations, motive power containers, mobile refuelers, and oil-filled electrical / operating / manufacturing equipment. The facility’s requirements for bulk storage containers are presented below:

▼ Shall be constructed of materials that are compatible with the fluid stored and the conditions of storage. [40 CFR 112.8(c)(1)]

▼ Shall have “sized” secondary containment (See Section 1.4.2). [40 CFR 112.8(c)(2)]

▼ Shall be protected from corrosion if completely buried, partially buried, or bunkered. [40 CFR 112.8(c)(4)&(5)]

▼ Shall be tested or inspected for integrity on a regular schedule, and whenever material repairs are made. [40 CFR 112.8(c)(6)]

(8)

▼ Shall be equipped with at least one of the following overfill prevention devices. [40 CFR 112.8(c)(8)]

 High liquid level alarm with an audible or visual signal at a constantly attended operation,

 High liquid level pump cutoff device set to stop flow at a predetermined container level,

 Direct audible or code signal communication between the gauger and pumping station, or

 A direct vision gauge that is monitored by the person filling the container.

▼ Gauges and level controls shall be tested regularly to assure their operation. [40 CFR 112.8(c)(8)]

▼ Field-constructed containers that undergo a repair, alteration, reconstruction, or a change-in-service that might affect the risk of a discharge due to brittle fracture or other catastrophe shall be further evaluated before the container is placed back into service. [40 CFR 112.7(i)]

1.4 SECONDARY CONTAINMENT

Oil containing items must be provided with a means of secondary containment and / or diversionary structure to prevent a discharge into a waterway or associated conveyance (i.e. storm drain). The structure must be “sufficiently impervious to contain oil”.

The containment requirements are divided into “General” and “Sized”, as discussed in the following two subsections. The containment measures for each applicable on-site item are discussed within the item data sheets presented in Appendix G. Containment volume calculations are presented in Appendix F. 1.4.1 “General” Containment

“General” containment requirements apply to all parts of a facility where oil is stored, including:

▼ Electrical / Operational / Manufacturing Equipment

▼ Mobile Refuelers / Tank Trucks

▼ Product Piping

▼ Product Transfer and Dispensing Areas (includes those associated with SPCC exempt underground storage tanks)

The containment for the above listed items shall be constructed so that a discharge from the primary containment will not escape the secondary containment before cleanup occurs. In determining the containment method, design and capacity, the most likely quantity of oil that would be discharged from the typical failure mode shall be used. The containment may be either active or passive in design.

Active containment measures are those that require deployment or other specific action by the operator. These measures may be deployed either before an activity involving the handling of oil starts, or in reaction to a discharge, so long as the active measure is designed to prevent an oil discharge from reaching a waterway. Required active containment measures and other special procedures are noted in the item’s data sheet within Appendix G. Passive measures are permanent installations and do not require deployment or action by the owner or operator.

(9)

At a minimum, one of the following prevention systems or its equivalent shall be used: dikes, berms, curbing, or retaining walls; drip pans, sumps, or collection systems; culverting, gutters, or other drainage systems; weirs, booms, or other barriers; spill diversion or retention ponds; or sorbent materials.

Facility drainage systems from undiked areas with a potential for a discharge (such as where piping is located outside containment walls or where tank truck discharges may occur outside the loading area) shall flow into ponds, lagoons, or catchment basins designed to retain oil or return it to the facility. Catchment basins shall not be located in areas subject to periodic flooding. [40 CFR 112.8(b)(3)]

1.4.2 “Sized” Containment

“Sized” containment requirements apply to specific parts of a facility where oil is stored, including:

▼ Bulk Storage Containers (includes 55-gallon drums and mobile / portable containers)

▼ Loading / Unloading Racks (i.e., a fixed structure, such as a platform / gangway, necessary for loading or unloading a tank truck or tank car)

The secondary containment for Bulk Storage Containers shall be constructed to hold the entire capacity of the largest single compartment / container and sufficient freeboard to contain a 25-year, 24-hour storm event (3.40 inches / City of Colorado Springs - Updated Storm Intensity Curves - January 7, 2003). Similarly, for indoor storage, the International Fire Code (IFC - 2009) requires that secondary containment for containers exceeding 55 gallons be designed to contain a spill from the largest container plus the design flow volume from the fire-extinguishing system over the containment area for a period of 20 minutes. Some indoor containment installations, particularly if they were constructed prior to the adoption of recent fire codes, may not meet the 20 minute fire suppression requirement. If the equipment or containment area is modified in the future, the SPCC Plan Coordinator should ensure that the volume of the containment meets the code requirements in effect at the time the modifications are made.

1.4.3 Drainage Procedures for Secondary Containment

Storm water must be drained from secondary containment structures if it accumulates to levels where the containment’s required storage capacity may not be available if an oil discharge were to occur. Drainage from the secondary containment is only acceptable using manual methods and must be performed in accordance with the procedures described on the Secondary Containment Drainage Form provided in Appendix B. The form shall be completed and retained in the facility’s SPCC Plan Master File. [40 CFR 112.8(b)(1)&(2) and (c)(3)(iv)]

If a release of oil is observed or suspected, no discharge of storm water from the containment is allowed. Notify the SPCC Plan Coordinator listed on the cover page of this document. The SPCC Plan Coordinator shall have the source of the release evaluated / repaired, and contact Colorado Springs Utilities – Environment, Health, & Safety – Regulatory Services Section for guidance on reporting and proper water disposal.

(10)

A facility with oil-filled operational equipment (i.e. transformers, circuit breakers, electrical switches, hydraulic systems, lubricating systems) that has had no single discharge exceeding 1,000 gallons of oil into a waterway, or no two discharges each exceeding 42 gallons within any twelve month period in the three years prior to the SPCC Plan certification date, may choose to implement for this “qualified” oil-filled operational equipment the following alternate requirements in lieu of “general” secondary containment. [40 CFR 112.7(k)(1)&(2)]

▼ Prepare an oil spill contingency plan in general accordance with 40 CFR Part 109,

▼ Provide a written commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously control and remove any quantity of oil discharged that may be harmful, and

▼ Establish and document procedures for inspections / monitoring to detect a discharge.

This SPCC Plan incorporates oil spill contingency planning into its content and includes a written commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously control and remove any harmful quantity of discharged oil.

If applicable to on-site items, “qualified” oil-filled operational equipment utilizing these alternate requirements in lieu of general secondary containment are noted in the item’s data sheet within Appendix G; and their associated procedures for inspections / monitoring are presented in Section 4.0.

1.4.5 When Secondary Containment is Not Practicable

Although engineered passive containment systems or active secondary containment approaches are preferable, they may not always be practicable or may be contrary to safety factors. If containment methods are “impracticable”, the owner or operator is not exempt from the secondary containment requirements, but may instead: [40 CFR 112.7(d)]

▼ Prepare an oil spill contingency plan in general accordance with 40 CFR Part 109,

▼ Provide a written commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously control and remove any quantity of oil discharged that may be harmful,

▼ Clearly explain the reason for the impracticable determination in the SPCC Plan, and

▼ Conduct periodic integrity testing of bulk storage containers and periodic integrity testing and leak testing of the valves / piping.

As previously indicated, this SPCC Plan incorporates oil spill contingency planning into its content and includes a written commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously control and remove any harmful quantity of discharged oil.

If applicable to an on-site item, a discussion of why secondary containment is not practicable is presented in the item’s data sheet within Appendix G; and the associated procedures for integrity / leak testing are presented in Section 4.0.

(11)

1.5 PRODUCT PIPING

In order to minimize the potential for a discharge associated with oil transfer systems the following measures shall be taken:

▼ If a section of buried line is exposed for any reason, it shall be carefully inspected for deterioration and additional examination / corrective action must be undertaken as indicated by the magnitude of the damage. [40 CFR 112.8(d)(1)]

▼ New buried piping and replaced sections shall have a protective wrapping / coating and be cathodically protected, or otherwise satisfy the corrosion protection requirements for underground piping in the State tank regulations. [40 CFR 112.8(d)(1)]

▼ When piping is not in service or in standby service for an extended time, the terminal connection shall be securely capped or blank-flanged and marked as to its origin. [40 CFR 112.8(d)(2)]

▼ Pipe supports shall be properly designed to minimize abrasion / corrosion and allow for expansion / contraction. [40 CFR 112.8(d)(3)]

▼ Regularly inspect all aboveground valves, piping, and appurtenances (See Section 4.0). [40 CFR 112.8(d)(4)]

▼ Conduct integrity and leak testing of buried piping at the time of installation, modification, construction, relocation, or replacement. [40 CFR 112.8(d)(4)]

▼ Post warning signs cautioning vehicles of aboveground piping or hosing. [40 CFR 112.8(d)(5)] 1.6 TRUCK LOADING AND UNLOADING PROCEDURES

In order to minimize the potential for a discharge during product transfers and to be prepared in the event of a discharge, the procedures in the following subsections shall be adhered to. The facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator shall ensure that the procedures are readily available to personnel involved in product transfer operations and / or posted in transfer areas.

The facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator shall also ensure that signs are posted in transfer areas that remind drivers not to pull away before detaching transfer hoses / lines. [40 CFR 112.7(h)(2)]

1.6.1 Product Transfer Coordinator’s Responsibilities

▼ Schedule all product transfer activities during daylight hours and when a facility representative will be present that is knowledgeable of the transfer procedures.

▼ Coordinate a date / time with the bulk transporter, provide them the contact information of the facility representative who will be present on-site, and inform them on their responsibilities (i.e. fax the bulk transporter Section 1.6.2).

(12)

1.6.2 Bulk Transporter’s Minimum Responsibilities

▼ Observe and obey all posted warning signs. [40 CFR 112.8(d)(5)]

▼ Notify the designated on-site facility representative immediately upon arriving at the facility.

▼ The bulk transporter shall ask the facility representative to accompany him / her to the appropriate container where the product transfer is to be made; and for instruction on the item-specific spill prevention procedures / containment measures and on the location of the facility’s spill supplies.

▼ Turn off the vehicle’s engine, apply the vehicle’s parking brake, and take precautions to prevent motion of the vehicle during the product transfer (e.g., utilize wheel chocks when parked on an incline). [49 CFR 177.834(e), 49 CFR 177.837(a), and 40 CFR 112.7(h)(2)]

▼ With the facility representative, observe the automatic tank gauge (if applicable / installed) to assess the quantity of product remaining in the container and its available capacity (i.e. Ullage - the amount that a container lacks of being full), and then stick the container to ensure that there is sufficient volume for the amount of product to be transferred. The inches of product measured should then be converted to gallons using the appropriate gauge chart for the container. Discrepancies between the automatic tank gauge reading and physical measurement must be resolved prior to beginning the transfer activities. Typically, the container should not be filled to greater than 90% of its capacity. [7 CCR 1101-14 S2-3-1 & S3-4-2(a)(2)]

▼ Keep fire away during the product transfer activities. Persons in the vicinity are forbidden to smoke, light matches, or carry any flame or lighted cigar, pipe, or cigarette. [49 CFR 177.834(c)&(d)]

▼ Adequately ground and bond the storage and transport containers prior to and during the transfer. [49 CFR 177.837(b)&(c)]

▼ Properly engage the transfer line at each end and place drip pans beneath the connections. Check the vehicle’s valves / inlets / outlets, the storage container, and the transfer line for indications of concern or leakage, and resolve any potential issues observed prior to beginning the transfer activities. [40 CFR 112.7(h)(3)]

▼ Attend (within 25 feet) the product transfer throughout the entire process. The attendant must have an unobstructed view of the transport container and transfer line connections to the maximum extent practicable, and check for associated leaks throughout the process. Properly and securely shut off all valves prior to disengaging the transfer line. [49 CFR 177.834(i)(1)(2)&(3) and 7 CCR 1101-14 S2-3-1 & S3-4-2(a)(2)]

▼ In the event of a spill, immediately shut down the transfer system and contact the facility representative. If the spill presents an immediate risk to human health or the environment, also call 911.

▼ Notify the facility representative upon completion of the transfer activities. Inform the representative of any spills or other potential issues observed. Before leaving the site, appropriately check / secure all vehicle valves to prevent a discharge during transport. [40 CFR 112.7(h)(3)]

(13)

1.6.3 On-Site Facility Representative’s Responsibilities

▼ No outdoor product transfers may be made during heavy precipitation events.

▼ Accompany the bulk transporter to the appropriate container where the product transfer is to be made and instruct him / her on:

 The bulk transporter’s responsibilities presented in the previous section,

 The item specific spill prevention procedures / containment measures, and

 The location(s) of the facility’s spill supplies.

▼ Verify that the transport vehicle is appropriately parked within the designated secondarily contained area, if applicable. In the absence of a secondarily contained area, verify that the required “active” containment measures are employed (See the oil containing item’s data sheet within Appendix G).

▼ With the bulk transporter, observe the automatic tank gauge (if applicable / installed) to assess the quantity of product remaining in the container and its available capacity (i.e. Ullage - the amount that a container lacks of being full), and then stick the container to ensure that there is sufficient volume for the amount of product to be transferred. The inches of product measured should then be converted to gallons using the appropriate gauge chart for the container. Note both readings on the bill-of-lading / delivery ticket and on the Aboveground Storage Tank - Ullage Log if the container is a State registered aboveground storage tank (the form is provided in Appendix B). Discrepancies between the automatic tank gauge reading and physical measurement must be resolved prior to beginning the transfer activities. Typically, the container should not be filled to greater than 90% of its capacity. [7 CCR 1101-14 S2-3-1 & S3-4-2(a)(2)]

▼ If present, verify that the container’s spill containment bucket is clean and free of water, fuel, or dirt. If the spill containment bucket is not clean, then the contents shall be removed and properly disposed. Never drain water or debris back into the container.

▼ Once the preceding steps are followed, the facility representative may then unlock the container for the bulk transporter, and return to his or her normal work duties while the transfer is performed.

▼ Upon completion of the transfer activities, inspect the area for spills and verify all related valves / piping have been adequately secured, capped, and re-locked. Spills shall be immediately cleaned.

▼ The bill-of-lading / delivery ticket shall be signed by the facility representative and sent to the product transfer coordinator via interoffice mail.

1.7 SECURITY

To prevent discharges that could result from unauthorized access to the oil containing items listed in the table within Section 4, the facility must [40 CFR 112.7(g)]:

▼ Secure and control access to the oil handling, processing, and storage areas;

(14)

▼ Prevent unauthorized access to starter controls on oil pumps;

▼ Secure out-of-service and loading / unloading connections of oil pipelines; and

▼ Have appropriate security lighting to both prevent acts of vandalism and assist in the discovery of oil discharges.

The facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator is responsible for ensuring compliance with the above measures; which includes preparing a written description of the security measures and operating procedures, posting instruction signage, and/or performing any necessary infrastructure modifications. The written document should describe how the above listed security measures are met and must be maintained within the facility’s SPCC Plan Master File. The document must be readily avaliable for review, if requested. The facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator shall periodically review the facility’s security measures and compliance procedures.

If any of the above security measures are deemed to be non-attainable, then the facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator must state in the written document the reasons for non-conformance and provide a description of the environmentally equivalent alternative measures. Contact Colorado Springs Utilities – Environment, Health, & Safety – Technical Services Section with any questions concerning this, or for assistance.

1.8 PROTECTION FROM VEHICLE IMPACT AND LIGHTNING

The facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator shall ensure that oil containing items with the potential to be involved in a collision are evaluated for physical protection and for adequate warning signs (including signs identifying truck clearances), and that high risk oil containing items are evaluated and adequately protected from lightning.

1.9 OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND HOUSEKEEPING

The potential for a discharge of oil can be reduced through proper operation of equipment, preventive maintenance activities, and practicing good housekeeping procedures.

▼ Equipment should be operated by trained personnel and in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

▼ Preventive maintenance shall be performed on oil containing items to ensure they are in good working condition.

▼ Materials should be stored in an orderly manner and a clean work environment shall be maintained.

▼ Do not rely on an oil / sand / water interceptor or separator, if present at the facility, to handle small spills. Clean up spills when and where they occur.

Regular inspections and testing of oil containing items are the foundation to a successful preventive maintenance program (see Section 4.0).

(15)

1.10 ANNUAL TRAINING

3.0 DISCHARGE

RESPONSE

In the event of a discharge, it is important that the released material be safely and promptly cleaned up, and that the cause is corrected. [40 CFR 112.8(c)(10)]

3.1 DISCHARGE RESPONSE STEPS

1) Safety - During discharge response efforts, personnel safety / human health are of greatest importance. Do not take unnecessary risks, and beware of vapor and fire hazards. Only respond to the level to which you have received proper training and feel comfortable doing in a safe manner. For an “incidental” discharge (that which can be safely

absorbed, neutralized, or otherwise controlled at the time of release by employees in the release area), facility personnel who are qualified through training and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment for which they are physically approved can handle the release.

The individual providing oversight and direction during the handling of an “incidental” discharge by on-site personnel shall be the facility’s SPCC Coordinator or the on-duty supervisor [40 CFR 109.5(a)&(d)(2)]; who shall ensure that the personnel have the appropriate cleanup procedure training, personal protective equipment (PPE) training, and are physically approved for the PPE selected.

2) Evacuate - Remove yourself from potential harm, warn other employees, and evacuate persons in

the vicinity of the discharge area. Control the perimeter of the discharge area. Keep all persons upwind of the discharge.

3) Notify - In case of an Emergency, such as a fire, explosion, injury, larger-than-incidental discharge, a

discharge that cannot be safely managed / controlled, a discharge that has reached a waterway, or other event that presents an immediate risk to human health or the environment; Immediately Call 911. Report the discharge as soon as possible to the facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator listed on the cover page of this plan and contact the appropriate people / companies listed in Section 2.0.

4) Identify - Identify the spilled substance and source; if possible to do so safely. For reference, the table in Section 4.0 summarizes the oil containing items located at this facility. Detailed descriptions of the oil containing items are presented in Appendix G. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS / SDS) for chemical hazard information and to aid in the selection of appropriate personal protective equipment (See Section 3.4 for the MSDS / SDSfile location).

(21)

5) Shut Off The Source - Immediately shut off the source of the discharge; if possible to do so safely

(e.g. plug the leak, close the valve, turn off power to pumps, upright the container, drain the container to below the level of the leak).

6) Eliminate Flame - Extinguish any source of spark or flame in the area; if you have been appropriately trained. Remember that flammables like gasoline and solvents can be very volatile. If feasible, electrical panels controlling the affected area should be shut off to eliminate sources of ignition. Remove all surrounding items that could be reactive with materials in the discharge.

7) Protect Drains – Use absorbent materials, booms, dirt, or other spill response equipment (See Section 3.3) to prevent the discharged material from reaching floor drains or storm water inlets. Protecting a drain or inlet could be the most valuable activity you perform.

8) Contain and Absorb - Trained personnel shall pursue ways for immediate containment of the discharged material; if possible to do so safely. Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (See Section 3.2). If a flammable material is involved, remove all ignition sources, and use non-sparking equipment and static resistant clothing.

Use the available spill response equipment (See Section 3.3). If the discharge is of a magnitude where it cannot be contained by the existing manpower, materials, and equipment on-site (i.e. more than an “incidental” release), the Fire Department (911) shall be notified and requested to respond to the scene with their Hazardous Materials Unit. [40 CFR 109.5(b)(4), (c)(1),(c)(3) & (d)(4)]

For larger volume discharges or those that have already reached a waterway, storm drain inlet, or a wetland, contact the Oil Spill Response Organization (OSRO) (see table in Section 2.2). They have the equipment, supplies, and manpower to deploy booms and other devices across creeks, reservoirs, lakes, and other waterways. [40 CFR 109.5(b)(4), (c)(1), (c)(3) & (d)(4)]

From a contingency-planning standpoint, the facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator shall establish a pre-planned location for discharge response operations with access to a reliable communications system. [40 CFR 109.5(d)(3)]

9) Clean-Up and Disposal - Once all the discharged material has been contained and absorbed, contact Colorado Springs Utilities - Environment, Health, & Safety – Regulatory Services Section for assistance with developing a clean-up plan, sampling, and disposal / recycling of non-reusable materials, as needed.

10) Restore Surroundings - The facility’s SPCC Coordinator shall ensure that all safety, personal protective, and spill response equipment / supplies are replaced and ready for future use.

11) Repair and Test - The equipment that failed must be disposed or inspected / repaired / tested prior

to being returned to operation.

12) Evaluate – Determine the reason(s) for the discharge and make improvements in order that a reoccurrence may be avoided.

13) Reporting – The facility’s SPCC Coordinator must complete the Discharge Report Form provided in Appendix B. The completed form shall be maintained with this plan and be

(22)

copied to Colorado Springs Utilities - Environment, Health, & Safety – Regulatory Services Section, who will be responsible for reporting to all government agencies.

3.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used to isolate individuals from chemical hazards. Employees who are qualified through training to safely respond to an “incidental” discharge shall wear appropriate PPE for which they are physically approved. On-site locations where PPE can be found are shown on Figure A-2 within Appendix A.

Selection of the appropriate PPE shall be based on the type / quantity / hazards of the material discharged, potential routes of exposure (e.g. dermal, respiratory, ingestion), potential duration of exposure, and weather conditions. The following are examples of common PPE:

▼ Foot Protection should be an industrial shoe or boot with non-skid, non-spark producing soles. Overboots should meet the same criteria and should be chemical resistant.

▼ Eye Protection should prevent splashes into the eyes. This should be a goggle type device as opposed to simple safety glasses.

▼ Hand Protection should be gloves resistant to the material discharged. A longer gauntlet type glove will provide greater protection than simple hand gloves.

▼ Head Protection should be an approved hard hat, if a risk of head injuries exists. The hard hat should not interfere with the type of eye protection used.

▼ Ear Protection is required in noisy areas. These areas may be posted or a product of machinery and equipment in use at the time.

▼ Respiratory Protection should be used if there is a potential for vapor inhalation above permissible exposure limits. All employees must pass a fit test and medical clearance before using a respirator.

▼ Protective Apparel (Clothing / Coveralls / Tyvek® Garments) should be used that is resistant to the material discharged, appropriate to the weather conditions, and static resistant. Fuels with low flash points are especially susceptible to electrostatic discharge created by synthetic materials. Given the nature of the discharge, electrostatic discharge bonding devices may be appropriate.

The facility’s SPCC Coordinator shall ensure that the appropriate types and quantities of PPE are readily available and strategically located on-site, and shall periodically perform an inventory check to ensure that used or missing materials are re-stocked. [40 CFR 109.5(c)(1)] 3.3 SPILL RESPONSE EQUIPMENT

Spill Response Equipment is used to contain and minimize the extent of discharges until clean-up activities can be performed. On-site locations where Spill Response Equipment can be found are shown on Figure A-2 within Appendix A.

(23)

Selection of the appropriate Spill Response Equipment shall be based on the type and quantity of the material discharged, and on the physical conditions of the discharge area. The following are examples of common Spill Response Equipment:

▼ Universal Sorbentsare designed to absorb any liquid. They will absorb aggressive liquids such as acids and bases as well as non-aggressive liquids and solvents, such as cleaners, water-based fluids, gasoline, and alcohols.

▼ Petroleum “Oil-Only” Sorbents are designed for absorption of oil and/or petroleum based liquids. These sorbents are hydrophobic, which means they will not absorb water or water based liquids. These can be deployed on water surfaces.

▼ Loose Sorbents are composed of sorbent media that is not contained in any type of pillow or mesh. Loose sorbents are typically used on small spills.

▼ Booms, Mini-Booms, or Socks are cylindrical shaped and vary in length and width. These can be used to contain spills or placed around machinery / equipment to contain leaks. Some booms are made to be used to contain spills on water, and can be connected together and deployed onto the water as a large spill barrier.

▼ Pillows are rectangular in shape. They are typically used to clean up medium sized spills. Place pillows under drip pans to eliminate overflow problems, or use as a precaution for a possible spill when transferring liquids.

▼ Pads and Rollsare flat sheets. Pads can be used to line shelves, catch leaks under machinery and clean up spills. Rolls can be cut to specific lengths for larger applications.

▼ Drain Covers and Plugs are designed to prevent discharges from entering drains and inlets.

▼ Non-Sparking Shovels, Brooms, and Empty Drums for material handling and storage. The facility’s SPCC Coordinator shall ensure that the appropriate types and quantities of Spill Response Equipment are readily available and strategically located on-site, and shall periodically perform an inventory check to ensure that used or missing materials are re-stocked. [40 CFR 109.5(c)(1)]

3.4 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS / SDS)

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS / SDS) are a primary source of chemical information in the workplace and provide information on: Health and Physical Hazards, Safety Precautions, Personal Protective Equipment, Emergency Response, Spill Clean Up, Symptoms of Exposure, and Disposal Recommendations.

Employees should be familiar with the MSDS / SDS for each chemical they work with. If a discharge occurs, the material’s MSDS / SDS can be an important source for information. The facility’s MSDS / SDS are located at theemployee’s“Right to Know” stationin the hallway at the service entrance on the south side of the Maintenance Building.

(24)

4.0 OIL STORAGE CONTAINERS, INSPECTIONS, & TESTING

The SPCC regulations require that each oil storage container be tested or inspected for integrity on a regular schedule and whenever material repairs are made [40 CFR 112.8(c)(6)]. The table on the following page summarizes the SPCC regulated storage containers that are located at this facility and their required inspection and testing frequency. Detailed information for each of the regulated containers is presented in Appendix G.

The table also includes a summary of the facility’s non-oil liquid chemical containers that are 55-gallons in capacity (see Section 5.0) and of the facility’s underground storage tanks (USTs) subject to the requirements of the State’s Storage Tank Regulations (see Section 6.0). Please note that these containers are exempt from the SPCC regulations and are listed for general informational purposes only to aid in spill response.

Figures showing the locations of the storage containers are presented in Appendix A.

▼ REQUIRED INSPECTIONS

The facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator should ensure that the inspections indicated in the following table are completed and documented using the form(s) specified. The forms are provided in Appendix B. The personnel performing the inspections shall be knowledgeable of the storage facility operations, the type of container and its associated components, and characteristics of the liquid stored.

▼ REQUIRED TESTING

The facility’s SPCC Plan Coordinator should ensure that the testing indicated in the following table is completed and documented. Assistance should be obtained from Colorado Springs Utilities – Environment, Health, & Safety - Technical Services Section, who will provide recommendations on the appropriate type of testing and companies capable of performing the activities.

As required by the SPCC regulations, the appropriate qualifications for personnel performing inspections / tests, the frequency of inspections / tests, and the type of inspections / tests are based on industry standards (primarily the Steel Tank Institute’s - Standard for the Inspection of Aboveground Storage Tanks - 4th Edition (STI SP001)) and take into account container size / configuration / design.

The Storage Container - Inspection Form, which is used for the inspection of the SPCC regulated storage containers, is a compilation of the Division of Oil and Public Safety’s AST Monthly and Annual Visual Inspection Checklists (2011), STI SP001 Monthly Inspection Checklist, STI SP001 Portable Container Monthly Inspection Checklist, and STI SP001 Annual Inspection Checklist.

The inspections and testing outlined in the following table should provide an appropriate and effective means of assessing the condition of the containers and their suitability for continued service.

5.0 NON-OIL SUBSTANCE / CHEMICAL CONTAINERS

Non-oil chemical containers are exempt from the SPCC regulations. The stored chemicals, however, can still potentially be toxic and/or dangerous to human health or the environment.

The facility’s non-oil liquid chemical containers that are 55-gallons in capacity are summarized in the table within Section 4.0. These liquid containers are listed for general informational purposes only to aid in spill response. The 55-gallon capacity was selected for inclusion in the table since the quantity was deemed to have a potential to migrate a fair distance away from the storage container, if discharged. Figures showing the locations of the containers are presented in Appendix A.

The following is general guidance for the facility’s non-oil chemical containers.

▼ STORAGE AND CONTAINMENT

The Facility Manager and/or SPCC Coordinator should ensure that the facility’s non-oil chemical containers are safely stored and adequately contained. General guidance can be obtained from the Discharge Prevention measures presented in Section 1.0 of this plan, City of Colorado Springs - Safety Policies / Procedures Manual, and from the product’s MSDS / SDS (see Section 3.4). Regulatory requirements for storage and containment of non-oil chemical containers generally fall under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Environmental Protection Agency, and local fire code. For further assistance, contact Colorado Springs Utilities - Environment, Health, & Safety - Regulatory Services Section and/or City of Colorado Springs - Safety Services.

▼ DISCHARGE NOTIFICATION AND RESPONSE

The notification and response procedures presented in Sections 2.0 and 3.0 of this plan are generally appropriate for most non-oil chemical containers with liquid or dry product. Releases of gaseous or extremely hazardous chemicals can require additional precautions. If you lack knowledge regarding a product discharge or are unclear about the potential risks, immediately remove yourself from potential harm, and obtain assistance (See Section 2.0).

▼ REPORTABLE QUANTITY

If a non-oil chemical in either liquid, dry, or gaseous form is discharged, the release may need to be reported to the appropriate regulatory agencies. A substance’s Reportable Quantity can be complex due to overlapping regulations (i.e., CERCLA / EPCRA / RCRA); therefore, if any discharge occurs, assistance should be requested from Colorado Springs Utilities - Environment, Health, & Safety - Regulatory Services Section.

▼ INSPECTIONS AND TESTING

The Facility Manager and/or SPCC Coordinator should ensure that the non-oil chemical containers are inspected and/or tested on a periodic basis to assess the condition of the containers and their suitability for continued service.

It is important that all chemicals in either liquid, dry, or gaseous form be stored, handled, and used in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.

(28)

6.0 UNDERGROUND

STORAGE TANKS

This section summarizes the facility’s requirements pertaining to underground storage tanks (USTs) that are subject to the State’s Storage Tank Regulations [7 CCR 1101-14], which are generally exempt from the SPCC regulations.

This section does not apply to USTs containing oil that are not subject to the requirements of the State’s Storage Tank Regulations, which must meet the standard SPCC requirements presented throughout Section 1.0.

The facility’s USTs are listed in the table within Section 4.0. Figures showing the locations of the USTs are presented in Appendix A. Detailed information for each UST, including the transfer and dispensing area containment requirements, is presented in Appendix G.

The facility’s SPCC Coordinator should ensure that the training, inspections, and other items described in the following subsections are adhered to and documented, as necessary. Contact Colorado Springs Utilities - Environment, Health, & Safety – Technical Services Section with any questions.

6.1 UST PRODUCT TRANSFER AND DISPENSING AREAS

USTs subject to the requirements of the State’s Storage Tank Regulations are exempt from the SPCC requirements; however, the product transfer and dispensing areas associated with these USTs are still affected by the SPCC requirements:

▼ UST product transfer and dispensing areas must meet the “general” containment requirements presented in Section 1.4.1.

▼ If a transfer to or from a UST occurs across a loading / unloading rack (i.e., a fixed structure, such as a platform / gangway, necessary for loading or unloading a tank truck or tank car) then the area must meet the “sized” containment requirements presented in Section 1.4.2.

6.2 UST OPERATOR TRAINING

UST operator training is required by the State’s Storage Tank Regulations. The regulations have requirements for three classes of operators, which are identified as Class A, Class B, and Class C. Separate individuals may be designated for each class of operator or an individual may be designated to more than one of the classes:

▼ CLASS A / B UST OPERATOR TRAINING

In general, a Class A operator has primary responsibility to operate and maintain the UST system and a Class B operator implements day-to-day aspects of operating, maintaining, and recordkeeping. Class A / B operator training certifications must be obtained through the International Code Council or from a Division of Oil and Public Safety approved training entity. Colorado Springs Utilities - Environment, Health, & Safety - Technical Services Section can assist with training coordination, if desired.
