What is Regunred by thms Regulation? (Continued) <br /> • Secondary containment must be provided for oil and fuel containers 55 gallons or larger <br /> in capacity. Examples of secondary containment include: <br /> - Single-walled tanks <br /> - Drum spill pallets with at least a 60-gallon capacity <br /> - Containment dikes surrounding the tank, drum or tote - must be sized to hold 110% <br /> of the largest container within the area. (EXAMPLE: Secondary containment for three <br /> tanks stored outdoors, having a capacity of 200, 150, and 500 gallons respectively, <br /> would need a containment capacity of 550 gallons because the largest container is <br /> 500 gallons with 10% added for storm water capacity.) <br /> • Spill kits are to be located at each fuel and oil storage area. <br /> - Spill kits can be purchased from a variety of vendors' <br /> - Spill kits can also be made using a larger container (garbage can or drum <br /> overpack) that is filled half-way with absorbent, the remaining space filled with <br /> booms, pillows and pads and labeled "SPILL KIT." <br /> - Ensure that these spill kits are kept full at all times. <br /> - Only use the kit during a spill. Using the spill kit for minor leaks will deplete the kit <br /> for when you may actually need to use it. <br /> • Monthly inspections need to occur using the form included in your Plan. <br /> - Check to ensure that all hoses and dispensers are properly working. <br /> - Ensure that the fuel/oil storage containers are in good condition. <br /> • Annual training needs to occur. (Purpose of this training) <br /> How to Prevent and Pre-laarefor g Soill <br /> • Identify oil storage containers and related activities that could cause a spill. Some <br /> examples include: <br /> - Tanks and other containers (totes, drums, etc.) for oils and fuel <br /> - Transferring of product to container <br /> - Location of container with respect to traffic (collision protection may be needed) <br /> - Condition of container <br /> - Pneumatic oil dispensing units <br /> • Discuss procedures that your Branch can take to reduce spills <br /> - For example, a designated Facility employee must be present for the filling of above <br /> ground storage tanks. <br /> - Monthly inspection findings need to be taken care of immediately. If someone <br /> identifies a malfunctioning dispenser or a leak from a tank at any time, notify the <br /> Facility Manager immediately so that it can be fixed. <br /> e.g. New Pig (httpalwww.newplg.com or 800-468-4647) No endorsement is implied. <br /> 2 of 3 <br />
