Aboveground Piping and Valves All aboveground piping and valves are examined monthly to assess their condition. Inspection includes aboveground valves, piping, appurtenances, expansion joints, valve glands and bodies, catch pans, pipeline supports, locking of valves, and metal surfaces. Waste oil is filled into a tote from drain pans by employees and monitored. Observations are noted on the monthly inspection checklist provided in this Plan. 5.3.5. Warning Signs Warning signs are posted at the AST and at appropriate locations throughout the Facility to prevent vehicles or equipment from damaging aboveground tanks, piping and appurtenances. 6.0. FACILITY DISCHARGE RESPONSE This section describes the response and cleanup procedures in the event of an unauthorized oil discharge. The uncontrolled discharge of oil to groundwater, surface water, or soil is prohibited by state and federal laws and regulations. Immediate action must be taken to control, contain, and recover discharged product. For the purpose of establishing appropriate response procedures, this Plan classifies discharges as either "minor" or "major," depending on the volume and characteristics of the material released. A list of Emergency Contacts is provided in Appendix I. A list of discharge response material kept at the Facility is included in Appendix E. 6.1. MINOR DISCHARGE RESPONSE A "minor" discharge is defined as one that poses no significant harm (or threat) to human health and safety or to the environment. 6.1.1. Minor Discharge Description Minor discharges are generally those where: • The quantity of product discharged is small (e.g., may involve less than 42 gallons of oil). • Discharged material is easily stopped and controlled at the time of the discharge.
