Spill Prevention,Control,and Countermeasure Plan Love's/Speedco#944,Ripon,California Page 13 of 13 a n to a g ro u p (9)The Love's/Speedco#944 facility has one oil/water separator unit onsite which treats the effluent. The system is observed frequently enough to detect possible system upsets that could cause a discharge. The OWS unit is exempt from SPCC regulation since it is a flow through unit which does not store oil. (10) In the event an oil leak is identified at a tank seam, gasket, riveted connection, bolted connection, piping, or any other component of the container,the leak will be corrected promptly. Measures will be taken to contain and remove any released oil until repairs are completed. (11) Mobile and portable oil tanks are not in use at the facility. Drums are positioned so as to prevent oil from reaching navigable waters in the event of a spill from the container. Containment and/or diversionary structures will consist of: (i) Dikes, berms, or retaining walls sufficiently impervious to contain oil; (ii) Curbing or drip pans; (iii) Sumps and collection systems; (iv) Culverting, gutters, or other drainage systems; (v) Weirs, booms, or other barriers; (vi)Spill diversion ponds; (vii) Retention ponds;or(viii)Sorbent materials. 5.3 Facility Transfer Operations, Pumping, and Facility Process [40 CFR 112.8(d)] The oil transfer operations or pumping/facility processes at the Love's/Speedco#944 facility comply with the SPCC prevention measures and controls listed under 40 CFR§112.8(d),as summarized below. 1. The Facility does not have any buried or partially buried product lines that are in direct contact with the environment. If new buried or partially buried pipelines are constructed, cathodic protection will be installed in conformance to 40 CFR §112.8(d)(1). The facility does have underground piping inside concrete conduits that supplies new oil to the oil dispensing units. 2. No oil piping is currently out of service or has been in standby service for an extended period of time. If an oil container and associated piping is taken out of service or placed in extended standby service in the future,the terminal connection at the transfer point will be capped/blank flanged and the connection marked as to its origin. 3. Pipe supports for permanent oil piping are designed to minimize abrasion and corrosion and allow for expansion and contraction. 4. The valves, piping and/or appurtenances associated with the oil operations/processes described above are inspected on a monthly basis using the monthly SPCC Inspection Checklist provided in Appendix B. 5. All pipe supports and piping are positioned at heights and locations so that vehicles will not come into contact with the pipe runs. Oil transfer operations are only conducted in a controlled area that is isolated from other vehicles. 5.4 Facility Response Plans (40 CFR 112.20) 40 CFR §112.20 requires facilities with the potential to cause substantial harm to the environment as a result of an oil spill to develop and submit to EPA a Facility Response Plan. The Love's/Speedco#944 facility does not meet the criteria required for classification under the applicability of substantial harm criteria, per 40 CFR §112; therefore, the provisions of 40 CFR §112 relevant to a Facility Response Plan are not applicable to this plan. Appendix G contains the Certification of the Applicability of the Substantial Harm Criteria as well as the prescribed certification statement. As indicated by the responses in the Certification, the facility is not required to prepare and submit a Facility Response Plan.
