4. Introduction This Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan for the Northern California Youth Correctional Center (NCYCC) has been prepared in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) regulations on petroleum pollution prevention, 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 112 (40 CFR 112). The purpose of the SPCC Plan is to establish procedures, methods, and equipment necessary to prevent discharge of harmful quantities of oil into the navigable waters of the United States. The regulation at 40 CFR Part 112 requires facilities to prepare an SPCC Plan if they have a total aboveground petroleum storage capacity of greater than 1,320 gallons (including containers of 55 gallons or greater), or have underground petroleum storage capacity greater than 42,000 gallons, and have the potential to discharge harmful quantities of oil to navigable waters of the United States. NCYCC has no undergrounds oil storage tanks/containers. For aboveground containers of petroleum/oil with a capacity of 55 gallons or greater, the combined volume of aboveground storage capacity at NCYCC is approximately 17,000 gallons. As defined in 40 CFR Part 112, "Oil" means oil of any kind or in any form including, but not limited to: fats, oils, or greases of animal, fish or marine mammal origin; vegetable oils, including oils from seeds, nuts, fruits, or kernels; and other oils and greases, including petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, synthetic oils, mineral oils, oil refuse, or oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoils. Oil storage at NCYCC consists of fuel (diesel and gasoline) and vehicle maintenance fluid (e.g., motor oil, automatic transmission fluid) This SPCC Plan and any amendments are effective upon certification by a Professional Engineer and signed approval by NCYCC Administration. 4.1 Amendment of Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan NCYCC shall amend the SPCC Plan in accordance with 40 CFR 112.5 whenever there is a change in facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects the facility's potential for the discharge of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shore lines. NCYCC shall complete a review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan at least every five years from the date of this Plan to ensure all the requirements within this Plan are achieved. As a result of this review and evaluation, the SPCC Plan shall be amended within six months of the review to include more effective prevention and control technology if the technology has been field-proven at the time of the review and will significantly reduce the likelihood of a discharge. Any amendments will be implemented as soon as possible, but not later than six months following preparation of any amendment. The SPCC "Designated Person" is the Hazardous Materials Specialist and she/he shall be responsible for all reviews and updates made to this Plan. The Plan will be reviewed and updated when necessary under the following circumstances: • Five-year review • Subsequent to the commission or decommission of any aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) • Subsequent to the replacement, reconstruction, or movement of ASTs 17
