SPILL RESPONSE PLAN VALLEY PACIFIC PETROLEUM SERVICES 1512 Weiss Way Escalon, CA 95320 When a spill is detected, these steps should be followed to prevent injury and control the material from entering the storm water system. Remember Valley Pacific Petroleum Services priorities: Protection of LIFE, then the ENVIRONMENT, and finally our PROPERTY. It is Valley Pacific Petroleum Services policy to conduct its business in an environmentally responsible manner, in full compliance with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws, and to continually improve its environmental performance. However, Valley Pacific Petroleum Services personnel should NEVER endanger their lives to protect the environment or property. 1. Carefully identify the type of material leaking and/or spilled and determine the immediate safety hazard(fire, explosion, contact or vapor). 2. The clean-up of any hazardous condition that presents an imminent safety threat to the public or Facility personnel must not be attempted. Secure the scene and keep all personnel away from the spill. Contact your immediate Supervisor and the Facility Emergency Coordinator immediately if you suspect a hazardous condition exists and wait for outside assistance if you are unsure how containment should be safely implemented. Only if it can be done safely, protect storm water drains from contaminated runoff. Never attempt to control a spill if you do not have the appropriate personal protective equipment. Safety first! 3. If it is deemed safe,take immediate action to prevent further release or discharge of the substance(i.e.,protect the environment). Efforts should be made to limit the extent of the spill. This can be accomplished by using absorption pads, booms, sand or soil. Notify the Facility Emergency Coordinator immediately and keep any personnel not assisting with the cleanup away from the spill. 4.
