Cecchini Trucking Company Inc. SPCC Plan April 2020 Page 29 of 63 4.4 Material Compatibility All tanks and containers that store petroleum (oil) products are constructed of steel and meet industry standards for adequately storing their intended liquid contents. 5.0 Transfer Operations 5.1 Tank Filling Procedures The filling of the 12,000 -gallon diesel tank is performed by an outside service provider. The filling procedure consists of the following: The delivery person determines how much product is in the receiving tank by utilizing the monitoring device mounted on top of the tank, in conjunction with the assistance from Cecchini Trucking management. Together they can determine how much product is in the 12,000 -gallon tank prior delivery of the additional product. The amount of fuel in the receiving tank is compared to the amount of fuel to be delivered (shown on the shipping manifest) to ensure there is enough tank capacity for the receipt. The delivery person positions the tanker truck alongside the fueling port which is located adjacent to the diesel tank and ensures the truck is properly grounded before making a connection to the diesel tank. Chocks are used to prevent movement of the tanker truck during the offloading process. The delivery person connects the transfer hose to the truck and to the 12,000 -gallon tank. A spill pan (11 gal.) is placed under the nozzle or the connection to the fuel delivery truck to catch the most likely spill during the delivery (minimal). The transfer hose is connected to the tanker truck and to the fueling port inside the fueling compartment. Before transferring fuel, the delivery person confirms that a spill kit is readily available. During the fuel transfer, the entire process is constantly and visually monitored. Personnel who perform fueling are trained on emergency shut off switches and procedures. The emergency shutoff switch is located adjacent to the block wall located on the east side of the property line, near the north side of the large diesel tank. 5.2 Vehicle Fueling Procedure Vehicles and equipment are fueled in the following manner: • The vehicle or equipment is parked near the dispenser at fueling area. • The driver confirms the presence of a spill kit.
