discharges as described in §112.1(b)or failures, malfunctioning components, and any recently developed precautionary measures. (g) Security(excluding oil production facilities). Describe in your Plan how you secure and control access to the oil handling, processing and storage areas; secure master flow and drain valves; prevent unauthorized access to starter controls on oil pumps; secure out-of-service and loading/unloading connections of oil pipelines; and address the appropriateness of security lighting to both prevent acts of vandalism and assist in the discovery of oil discharges. (h)Facility tank car and tank truck loading/unloading rack(excluding offshore facilities). (1)Where loading/unloading rack drainage does not flow into a catchment basin or treatment facility designed to handle discharges, use a quick drainage system for tank car or tank truck loading/unloading racks. You must design any containment system to hold at least the maximum capacity of any single compartment of a tank car or tank truck loaded or unloaded at the facility. (2) Provide an interlocked warning light or physical barrier system,warning signs, wheel chocks or vehicle brake interlock system in the area adjacent to a loading/unloading rack,to prevent vehicles from departing before complete disconnection of flexible or fixed oil transfer lines. (3) Prior to filling and departure of any tank car or tank truck, closely inspect for discharges the lowermost drain and all outlets of such vehicles, and if necessary, ensure that they are tightened, adjusted, or replaced to prevent liquid discharge while in transit. (i) If a field-constructed aboveground container undergoes a repair, alteration, reconstruction, or a change in service that might affect the risk of a discharge or failure due to brittle fracture or other catastrophe, or has discharged oil or failed due to brittle fracture failure or other catastrophe, evaluate the container for risk of discharge or failure due to brittle fracture or other catastrophe, and as necessary,take appropriate action. (j) In addition to the minimal prevention standards listed under this section, include in your Plan a complete discussion of conformance with the applicable requirements and other effective discharge prevention and containment procedures listed in this part or any applicable more stringent State rules, regulations, and guidelines. (k) Qualified Oil-filled Operational Equipment. The owner or operator of a facility with oil-filled operational equipment that meets the qualification criteria in paragraph (k)(1)of this sub-section may choose to implement for this qualified oil- filled operational equipment the alternate requirements as described in paragraph (k)(2)of this sub-section in lieu of general secondary containment required in paragraph (c)of this section. (1) Qualification Criteria—Reportable Discharge History:The owner or operator of a facility that has had no single discharge as described in §112.1(b)from any oil-filled operational equipment exceeding 1,000 U.S.gallons or no two discharges as described in §112.1(b)from any oil-filled operational equipment each exceeding 42 U.S. gallons within any twelve month period in the three years prior to the SPCC Plan certification date, or since becoming subject to this part if the facility has been in operation for less than three years(other than oil discharges as described in§112.1(b) that are the result of natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism); and (2)Alternative Requirements to General Secondary Containment. If secondary containment is not provided for qualified oil-filled operational equipment pursuant to paragraph (c)of this section,the owner or operator of a facility with qualified oil-filled operational equipment must: (i) Establish and document the facility procedures for inspections or a monitoring program to detect equipment failure and/or a discharge; and (ii)Unless you have submitted a response plan under§112.20, provide in your Plan the following: (A)An oil spill contingency plan following the provisions of part 109 of this chapter. (B)A written commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously control and remove any quantity of oil discharged that may be harmful.
