The list is also posted at <br /> prominent locations throughout the Facility. A list of discharge response material kept at <br /> the Facility is included in Appendix E. <br /> 5.1. RESPONSE TO A MINOR DISCHARGE <br /> A "minor" discharge is defined as one that poses no significant harm (or threat) to <br /> human health and safety or to the environment. <br /> 5.1.1. Minor Discharge Description <br /> Minor discharges are generally those where: <br /> • The quantity of product discharged is small (e.g., may involve less than 42 <br /> gallons of oil). <br /> • Discharged material is easily stopped and controlled at the time of the discharge. <br /> • Discharge is localized near the source. <br /> • Discharged material is not likely to reach water. <br /> • There is little risk to human health or safety. <br /> • There is little risk of fire or explosion. <br />
