In the event facility personnel are not able to handle the response and cleanup work for a spill, contractors are readily available to assist. The contacts and phone numbers for these contractors are contained in Appendix E. As discussed in Section 4.5, further countermeasures for discharge discovery, response and cleanup exist at the facility. These include regular equipment inspections,facility lighting,supervised product transfers,secure product transfer control equipment, and the disengagement of product transfer controls when the facility is vacant of employees. 4.8 Methods of Disposal of Recovered Material [40 CFR 112.7(a)(3)(v)] Discharged oil that is recovered through cleanup with absorbent material or secondary containment will be collected and properly disposed of according to applicable local and federal guidelines.

Recycling is the priority option. 4.9 Contacts List and Phone Numbers [40 CFR 112.7(a)(3)(vi)] Contacts and phone numbers for authorities and emergency personnel are required by §112.7(a)(3)(vi).
