COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS (40 CFR 112.7(a)(2)) As described in Section 3.5 of this Plan, the operational and emergency oil storage capacity of the containment areas are sufficient to handle the quantity of oil expected to be discharged in AST areas from tank overfills or transfer operations. Non-destructive integrity evaluation is not performed on ASTs. Facility management has deemed that routine AST inspections are sufficient for identifying potential spills. ASTs are inspected regularly and following a regular schedule in accordance with the Steel Tank Institute (STI) SP-001 tank inspection standard as described in this Plan. Any leakage from ASTs would be detected through monitoring of the containment spaces performed on a monthly basis. Any leakage would be detected visually during scheduled visual inspections by Facility personnel. Storage drums are elevated on spill pallets; all sides are visible for immediate leak detection by Facility personnel. Corrosion poses minimal risk of failure since drums are single-use and remain on site for a relatively short period of time (less than one year). The drum storage area is inspected daily. This is in accordance with accepted industry practice for drum storage and provides an effective means of verifying container integrity, as noted by EPA in the preamble to the SPCC rule at 67 FR 47120. 3.2. FACILITY LAYOUT DIAGRAM (40 CFR 112.7(a)(3)) Figure 1 shows the general location of the Facility on a U.S. Geological Survey topographic map. Figure 2 presents a layout of the Facility and the location of storage tanks and drums. The diagram also shows the direction of surface water runoff. As required under 40 CFR 112.7(a)(3), the Facility diagram indicates the location and content of ASTs, transfer stations and connecting piping. 3.3. SPILL REPORTING (40 CFR 112.7(a)(4)) The discharge notification form included in Appendix D is completed upon immediate detection of a discharge and prior to reporting a spill to the proper notification contacts after evaluation by Facility Management and as applicable to limits described in Section 1.4.4. 3.4. POTENTIAL DISCHARGE VOLUMES AND DIRECTION OF FLOW (40 CFR 112.7(b)) Table 5 presents expected volume, discharge rate, general direction of flow in the event of equipment failure, and means of secondary containment for different parts of the Facility where oil is stored, used, or handled.
