Page 5 of 7 9. METHOD FOR OVERFILL/SPILL PROTECTION AND CLEAN-UP: (continued) 2) The small amount of petroleum product remaining in the hose shall be slowly drained into the tank. Since the ball float valve is 2" to 3" below the top of the tank, there remains a 100 + gallon capacity within the tank at the moment when the ball float closes off delivery. The bleed hole in the ball float valve allows the remain- ing petroleum product in the hose to completely drain through the fill pipe into the tank. 3) The hose shall be disconnected from the fill pipe only when it has fully drained. In the event that spillage occurs upon hose disconnection, the remaining small amount of petroleum product will be caught in a 20 gallon capacity leakproof spill container (Perkins Welding Works, 14" dia. x 3611). Maximum capacity of a 4" diameter by 20' - 0" long delivery hose is 13 gallons. c. Waste Oil Tank: 1) Station is equipped with waste oil buckets which hold a maximum capacity of three (3) gallons (about 3 to 4 cars worth of waste oil). 2) Prior to dumping any waste oil, operator is to gauge the tank to assure holding capacity is greater than that which will be put into the tank. v� 3) Waste oil is poured directly through fill/pump out pipe, using a funnel. Should any waste oil spill during this operation, it will be caught in a 5 gallon capacity over- fill container. This container is equipped with a drain r line to dump overfill box contents into fill pipe. ` d. Clean-up/Records: 1) Small spills (less than 1 gallon and only requiring 15 minutes to clean up) will be cleaned up using absorbent materials. 2) Larger spills will be reported to the terminal by the station operator or by delivery truck driver upon return to the terminal. The terminal supervisor will notify a local Petroleum Maintenance Contractor who is equipped with a N.F.P.A. approved type hand pump, vacuum and transport container.
