8.0 SPILL POTENTIAL - §112.7(b) <br /> The purpose of this section is to provide general predictions of the direction,rate of flow and total quantity <br /> of oil that could be discharged from the facility as a result of the most probable types of failure. Based on <br /> experience, the following release scenarios are believed to be the most probable causes of spills at the <br /> Terminal: <br /> • Rupture or leaks from the storage tanks <br /> • Overfilling of storage tanks <br /> • Rupture of a fill line or broken connection during filling of the storage tanks <br /> • Rupture or leaks from the piping,pumps and associated equipment <br /> • Overturning or leaks from drums <br /> • Spills that occur during the filling of tanks to piping <br /> The potential spill quantities, flow rates and spill flow direction for the above spill scenarios are provided <br /> in Table 3. <br /> Fifty-five-gallon drums and two 150-gallon steel portable storage tanks are the only portable petroleum <br /> storage containers in use at the Terminal. The following information for individual oil storage or usage <br /> areas at the Terminal is summarized in the following sections of this Plan. <br /> • Location-Figures 1 through 5 <br /> • Type of product-Table 1 <br /> • Volume-Table 1 <br /> • Materials of construction-Table 1 <br /> • Secondary containment type-Table 3 <br /> • Secondary containment capacity-Table 3 <br /> • Secondary containment drainage- Section 5.0 <br /> • Spill prevention devices- Section 5.0 <br /> • Loading procedure- Section 4.3 <br /> • Unloading procedure- Section 4.3 <br /> • Spill flow pattern-Table 3 and Section 5.0 <br /> 29 <br />
