3.0 DISCHARGE PREVENTION-CONTROLS AND STRUCTURES This section defines the controls and structures in place to prevent dischargesfrom occurring during the storage and handling of oil at the facility. 3.1 CONTAINMENT AND DIVERSIONARY STRUCTURES (40 CFR 112.7[c]) Wilbur-Ellis has implemented appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment to prevent discharged oil from reaching navigable waters at each facility, including: • Dikes, berms or retaining walls sufficiently impervious to contain spilled oil; • Curbing or drip pans; • Sumps and collection systems; • Culverting, gutters or other drainage systems; • Weirs, booms or other barriers; • Spill diversion ponds; • Retention ponds; and/or • Sorbent materials. Appendix A includes a listing of secondary containment, diversionary structures and/or equipment to prevent the discharged oil from reaching navigable waters for each facility. 3.2 SECURITY MEASURES (40 CFR 112.7[g]) Appendix A summarizes site-specific security measures for each facility. 3.3 ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANKS (40 CFR 112.8[c]) All storage tanks are designed, fabricated, and installed to conform to industry standards. All container shells and bottoms are constructed according to American Petroleum Institute, American Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM International), and Underwriters Laboratory specifications. The tanks are compatible with the fluids stored, adequate in size, and are equipped with internal pressure and vacuum protection vents. Secondary containment procedures and Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) are described in the Wilbur-Ellis Tank Farm Program, available on WEconnect. 3.4 SECONDARY CONTAINMENT (40 CFR 112.8 [c][2]) Appendix A includes a description and photographs of secondary containment structures for each aboveground storage tank. All secondary containment structures have sufficient capacity to hold the volume of the largest container,vessel, or tanks plus sufficient freeboard,for precipitation,to contain an additional 10 percent of the largest volume. 3.5 CONTAINER STORAGE AREAS& MOBILE/PORTABLE CONTAINERS (40 CFR 112.8[c][11]) Secondary containment procedures and BMPs for portable storage containers are described in the Wilbur-Ellis Warehouse Procedure, available on WEconnect. 3.6 PRACTICABILITY OF SECONDARY CONTAINMENT (40 CFR 112.7[d]) Facility management has determined that secondary containment is practicable for all SPCC-regulated storage tanks, process equipment, oil transfer areas, and oil handling areas. A summary of secondary containment structures is provided in Appendix A. Therefore, additional spill contingency plans are not required. 11 June 07,2019
