Spill Prevention,Control,and Countermeasure Plan Love's/Speedco#944,Ripon,California Page 12 of 13 anteagroup 5.0 SPCC REQUIREMENTS FOR ONSHORE FACILITIES [40 CFR 112.81 Subpart B, Section 112.8 outlines specific requirements that apply to petroleum and non-petroleum oils. The facility's conformance with these requirements is discussed below. 5.1 Facility Drainage [40 CFR 112.8(b)] Drainage from diked secondary containment areas [40 CFR§112.8(b)(1)-(2]: All drainage from the Facility is directed toward the floor drains, which flow into an oil/water separator which is located within the secondary containment structure. If a spill occurs within the secondary containment area, an outside contractor would be contacted to remove any accumulated oil. Facility Drainage Systems [§112.8(b)(3)-(5) and §112.12(b)(3)-(5)]: Oil products are stored exclusively at the interior of the Facility. Floor surfaces are sloped to drains which are located throughout the facility. The floor drain system directs flow to the oil/water separator. The oil/separator is located within the secondary containment structure. Measures must be taken to guard any storm water intake which is located at the exterior of the Facility. 5.2 Bulk Storage Containers [40 CFR 112.8(c)] Bulk storage containers are those containers, usually tanks, whose primary purpose is storage of oil. Containers whose purpose is to hold oil that is being used, e.g., electrical transformers, gearboxes, hydraulic unit reservoirs and machining coolant systems, are not considered bulk storage containers. The rule lists eleven specific requirements that apply to bulk storage containers. Each applicable type is discussed below. (1) All containers used to store oil within the Facility are constructed from materials compatible with the material stored in the container and the conditions of storage,such as pressure and temperature. (2) All bulk oil storage containers are located within the Facility with surrounding floor drains connecting to the oil/water separator which is located within the secondary containment structure. Tanks 1 through 5 are located within a concrete secondary containment structure which has a holding capacity of 11,420 gallons and Tanks 6 and 7 are located within the Facility with floor drains connected to the sump and oil/water separator. The sump connected to the floor drain system has a holding capacity of approximately 400 gallons and the oil/water separator temporarily holds approximately 90 gallons. (3) Oil storage areas are located indoors so accumulation of precipitation is not expected. The secondary containment structure for Tanks 1 through 5 does not have any drainage valves allowing for uncontrolled drainage. (4,5)The Facility has no underground or partially buried underground oil storage tanks. (6) Periodic integrity testing is required for the bulk storage tank at the facility. See Section 4.14 for tank testing and inspection information. (7)The Love's/Speedco#944 facility does not utilize heating coils in the bulk storage tank at the facility. (8)The facility's tank is constructed with industry practices for fail-safe engineering. Proper loading and unloading procedures are described in Appendix C and are followed to ensure that overflow does not occur. Overfill protection is achieved by employee monitoring and tank capacity gauges. The truck operator is required to stay with the truck throughout the filling process. A facility employee monitors all loading/unloading of oil products.
