3. Control and Contain the Spill <br /> (a) Immediately shut off any related pumps, if possible, stop the spill at the source. <br /> (b) For relatively small spills, apply absorbent to the surface of the oil and reapply until <br /> I � <br /> I there is enough to absorb all the liquid, <br /> h� <br /> t <br /> (c) For larger spills, construct dikes or deploy booms around the spill to prevent the <br /> discharge from flowing off site or into waterways using spill absorbent. I <br /> (d) When possible, buckets or drums shall be used for catching oil that is still leaking or <br /> p g g � <br /> spilling from equipment, even if a secondary containment basin is present. This will I <br /> help minimize risks and cleanup costs. <br /> (e) If a secondary containment basin is present and the spill is overshooting the basin <br /> boundaries, try to deflect the oil so that it will accumulate within the basin. i <br /> :I <br /> j <br /> (f) Where applicable, prevent discharge into storm drains by sealing off with an <br /> -E <br /> impenetrable material, such as a drain mat cover, booms and/or dikes, divert spill <br /> away from drains and/or waterways. I <br /> (g) If the discharge has or is likely to reach a waterway, call for the assistance and <br /> deploy booms, sorbent booms, or underflow dams. <br /> I' <br /> j 4. Secure the Area <br /> (a) Isolate the area to prevent access. E1 <br /> (b) Limit entry to the spill area to authorized personnel wearing appropriate protective ' <br /> gear. E <br /> (c) Use plastic and/or soil over the spill area to prevent spreading or human contact. ' <br /> (d) Post warning signs. <br /> lE <br /> =i <br />
