Sorbent materials are provided in emergency spill equipment kits located around the Facility. These will be adequate to mitigate any possible minor spills associate with routine handling of products. Containment structures and capacities are also discussed in the Sized Bulk Storage Tank Secondary Containment section on Page 15. Transfer Areas A description of each transfer(loading/unloading) area and general containment measures for each area are included below. A properly trained Facility employee is present during the delivery of contents from the storage containers to observe the delivery or removal and ensure that procedures are properly followed. Transfer areas are indicated on Figure 2. • AST-1 through AST-4—The transfer areas for tanks AST-1 through AST-4 are conducted within the rollover containment berm located adjacent to the AST area. Transfer operations include transferring product into the tanks from fuel delivery trucks. The tanker truck is parked in and all connections are made in the rollover containment area and the rollover berm(Figure 3). o General Containment—The rollover berm is approximately 46 feet wide long, 15 feet wide, and 2 inches high. The rollover berm has a containment capacity of approximately 884 gallons. Engineered gaps are built into the berm to allow for routine stormwater surface flow. However, during transfer activities, Facility staff will close off these gaps using a sandbag to ensure the containment area will function as designed. Additionally, spill absorbent materials are staged next to the transfer area as a contingency in the event of a spill. These measures can be deployed quickly and will provide necessary containment. • Drums—Transfers in the drum area involves transfer of materials to and from the drums. o General Containment—The drums are located on a secondary containment pallet with a capacity of 66-gallons. The spill containment pallet should adequately contain any incidental spills associated with transferring materials in and out of the drums. Spill absorbent materials are staged next to the transfer area as a contingency in the event of a spill outside the pallet. These measures can be deployed quickly and will provide adequate containment for the expected spill volume (5 to 10 gallons). • Commercial Truck Diesel/DEF Dispenser Area—There are 12 dispenser islands for diesel fuel and DEF located under the canopy in the central portion of the Facility. Transfer operations in these areas are typically performed by customers and include transfer of product into the customer's vehicle. o General Containment—There is a rollover berm located on the downslope side of the dispenser area(east side). The berm will slow any spills and allow for absorbent material to be placed and prevent the spill from entering the nearest storm drain. These measures can be deployed quickly and will provide adequate containment for the expected spill volume (5 to 10 gallons). Additionally,Apex recommends that Joe's Travel Plaza purchase a rubber mat that can be used to cover the nearest storm drain in the event of a release.
