(3) Countermeasures for discharge discovery, response and cleanup §§(a)(3)(iv) In the event of a spill or leak, the following procedures will be followed. Response Procedures The person discovering the spill will immediately report it to the Batch Plant Operator. If the spill occurs during a loading or unloading operation, the employee discovering the spill will attempt to isolate the leak if appropriate and if it is safe to do so. The first employee arriving at the spill site will shut down all operations and all ignition sources. The Batch Plant Operator will assess the nature and extent of the release and the potential threat to human health and the environment. The Batch Plant Operator will take immediate action to control the spill and to contain it within the site property. Use onsite bulk sand to construct sand berms to prevent flow into the roadside drainage ditch or southeastern perimeter ditch, and wherever liquid threatens to leave the site. The Batch Plant Operator will notify the site environmental Coordinator, KRC General Manager, and the KRC Environmental Manager if the release cannot be contained immediately or there is a potential threat to human health and the environment. The KRC General Manager, after consultation with the Batch Plant Operator and the KRC Environmental Manager, will determine whether a spill cleanup contractor is needed to assist with control and cleanup of the spill and will contact environmental regulatory agencies if appropriate. The Batch Plant Operator will prepare an "INCIDENT REPORT", see Appendix C.
