01 GLASS S LIFE 6.8.2 California State Notification Requirements and Reportable Quantities There are several levels of reporting requirements, both oral and written, which may be triggered by an oil spill event(See Appendix C for Oil Spill Response Immediate Actions [Table 3], Spill Response Notification Procedures [Table 4], and Emergency Contacts [Table 5]). If a release of oil in any way causes harm or threatens to cause harm to public health and safety, the environment, or property, immediate notification must be made to the Cal OES Warning Center. If the release of oil is on land and is not discharged or threatening to discharge into State Waters; and (a) does not cause harm or threaten to cause harm to the public health and safety, the environment, or property; and (b) is under 42 gallons, then no notification to the Cal OES Warning Center is required. Notifications are to be made by qualified Owens-Brockway personnel or their designee, and only after the emergency responses related to the release have been implemented. This restriction is necessary to prevent misinformation and to assure the notifications are properly conducted. These reporting requirements involve both internal (within the Facility) and external notification. Oral and written reporting and notification requirements are as follows: 6.8.3 Internal Reporting Requirements 6.8.3.1 Oral ■ Employee discovering the spill notifies the Environmental Specialist. The Environmental Specialist will dispatch personnel to contain the spill in accordance with the Oil Spill Contingency Plan (Appendix C). 6.8.4 External Reporting Requirements 6.8.4.1 Oral When the threshold criteria are exceeded, the Owens-Brockway Environmental Specialist or his/her designee will notify the NRC. • Subsequent to federal reporting, the Environmental Specialist, or his/her designee, will notify the Cal OES Warning Center Oil and Gas Field Operations , California Department of Environmental Quality(DEQ), and the Local Emergency Planning Commission (LEPC), as required when threshold reporting criteria are exceeded. External reports will be initially by telephone and follow up in writing as required. 6.8.4.2 Written In the event the Facility has a discharge of more than 1,000 U.S. gallons of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines in a single event, or two discharges or more of 42 gallons or more in a 12 month period of time, Owens-Brockway environmental personnel will submit the following information within 60 days of the spill event to the EPA Regional Administrator, and within 30 days to the Cal OES Warning Center.
