5.3 COMPLIANCE APPROACH 5.3.1 APPLICABILITY This SPCC Plan is effective upon approval of the Chief Operator of this facility which is the A.L.Powell Trucking main office location at 5901 Marina Rd., Ste 1 ; Discovery Bay, CA 94505. This SPCC Plan applied to the management of all oil-containing aboveground storage tanks, drums, equipment, and other containers owned or leased by A.L.Powell Trucking that have a capacity of 55 gallons or more. Since A.L.Powell Trucking conducts the operation and maintenance of oil storage vessels, it is responsible for operations and maintenance and accountable for spill prevention for that facility per 40 CFR 112.7 (f)(2). The Chief Operator is the designated individual responsible for the general management of the oil spill prevention program on this facility. 5.4 GENERAL MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES The management of bulk oil storage tanks, oil-containing equipment, and all other petroleum containers must ensure compliance with federal and California regulatory requirements as summarized in Section 2.3 of this SPCC Plan.

If a responsible office cannot be determined for a particular oil storage tank then A.L.Powell Trucking will assume responsibility for the tank and will initiate closure actions in accordance with applicable federal and California regulations if necessary.
