SPILL RESPONSE PLAN CITY OF RIPON—FUELING STATION 240 Doak Boulevard Ripon, California 95366 When a spill is detected, these steps should be followed to prevent injury and control the material from entering the storm water system. Remember City of Ripon priorities: Protection of LIFE, then the ENVIRONMENT, and finally our PROPERTY. It is City of Ripon policy to conduct its business in an environmentally responsible manner, in full compliance with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws, and to continually improve its environmental performance. However, City of Ripon personnel should NEVER endanger their lives to protect the environment or property. 1. Carefully identify and determine the immediate safety hazard(fire,explosion,contact or vapor)of the material leaking and/or spilled. Contact your immediate Supervisor and the Facility Response Coordinator immediately if you suspect a hazardous condition exists and wait for outside assistance if you are unsure how containment should be safely implemented. 2. If it is deemed safe,take immediate action to prevent further release or discharge of the substance (i.e., protect the environment). Only if it can be done safely, protect storm water drains from contaminated runoff. Efforts should be made to limit the extent of the spill. This can be accomplished by using absorption pads, booms, sand or soil. Never attempt to control a spill if you do not have the appropriate personal protective equipment. Safety first! 3. Secure the scene and keep any personnel not assisting with the cleanup away from the spill. The clean-up of any hazardous condition that presents an imminent safety threat to the public or Facility personnel must not be attempted. 4. Notify the Facility Response Coordinator. Hazardous materials spills that cannot be handled safely by Facility personnel should be immediately referred to the Facility Response Coordinator. 5. The Facility Response Coordinator or their designee will complete the "Spill Reporting Form" and using the "Emergency Response Agency Notification Form" notify local, State, and Federal agencies of the oil/release/discharge, once the hazardous conditions have been mitigated. 6. The "Spill Reporting Form" and the "Emergency Response Agency Notification Form" should be routed internally to the Facility Response Coordinator for review and submittal to external agencies.
