Emergency Generators <br /> Loading Procedure: All tank loading operations are supervised by the tanker truck driver and YRC <br /> personnel to ensure that hose connections are not leaking. The tanker operator will "stick" the tank to <br /> ensure sufficient volume exists to receive the delivery. <br /> Unloading Procedure: Diesel fuel is transferred from the tank to the engine to power the generators. <br /> UST Loading/Unloading Area <br /> Truck Unloading: Truck unloading procedures meet the minimum U.S. Department of Transportation <br /> (DOT)requirements during(49 CFR 173.30). Prior to making any transfers, facility personnel determine <br /> the quantity of product the tanks can receive. <br /> The following standardized procedures for loading/unloading are designed to prevent spills and releases of <br /> oil at the facility during transfers. <br /> 1. The tanker operator will check in with the Facility Coordinator, Mechanic or designee (Terminal <br /> representative). <br /> 2. The Terminal representative will accompany the tanker operator to the UST loading/unloading area <br /> and check the tank levels to ensure sufficient volume exists to receive the delivery(a tanker contains <br /> a maximum of 5,000 gallons.) <br /> 3. Prior to unloading,drains and outlets on the truck are examined for leakage. If necessary,the outlet <br /> and drain valves will be tightened, adjusted or replaced to prevent leakage. <br /> 4. The tanker operator will be instructed to follow all DOT regulations as to proper procedures for <br /> off-loading fuel. The tanker operator will be directed to attend to his equipment at all times (the <br /> terminal representative will periodically observe the operator to make sure these instructions are <br /> followed). The tanker operator will be advised as to the location of absorbent materials and to <br /> where he can find assistance in the event of a problem. <br /> 5. At the completion of the delivery, the tanker operator will notify the Terminal representative who <br /> will inspect the off-loading area to make sure the proper disconnects have been made and that all <br /> valves are properly secure. The Terminal representative will then re-inventory the tank(s) to <br /> determine the final volume. <br /> 6. Before the departure of the delivery truck, drains and outlets on the truck will be examined for <br /> leakage. If necessary,the outlet and drain valves will be tightened,adjusted or replaced to prevent <br /> leakage. <br /> The truck driver and facility personnel will respond to contain spills. <br /> UST Unloading: Fuel is transferred from the USTs through transfer lines that run overhead into the <br /> compressor room, shop and inspection/fueling area. There are shut-off valves for the overhead transfer <br /> lines from the USTs located in the maintenance shop, compressor room and inspection area. Due to 24 <br /> hour operations,any leak would immediately be apparent to terminal personnel. <br /> 17 <br />
