0 IV- ., Tank Filling Operations Oil spills and leaks during tank filling operations should be cleaned up as soon as possible using the same procedures discussed In Paragraph IV. Care should be taken to contain spilled oil as much as possible to minimize the clean-up activities. Water should not be used to wash away spilled oil. Oil building up behind the wall of oil absorbent materials, pooling in the street or pooling over the synthetic membrane should be absorbed using the oil absor- bent sheets as soon as possible. If storm water is present it should be carefully inspected. Any Oil floating on the surface should be carefully removed using the oil absorbent sheets. If possible, storm water should not be allowed to enter the storm drain if it contains any spilled oil. If an oil spill has occurred, the temporary oil containment devices should be carefully inspected to make sure that no oil will be released when they are removed. If a very large spill occurs or if spilled oil enters the storm drain, a specialized oil or hazardous material cleanup firm should be retained immediately. This firm should be given as much infor- mation on the oil spill as possible when it is contacted. The firm should be able to provide special oil clean-up equipment and sup- plies and a highly trained oil clean-up crew within hours of being notified. The firm would be responsible for recovering oil from the sidewalk, the street, storm sewers and the San Joaquin River, as necessary. The following firms provide cleanup services. I.
