equipment instead of general secondary containment.The Oil Spill Contingency Plan does not include all the provisions in 40CFR 109. For Qualified Oil-filled Operational Equipment.The owner or operator of a facility with oil-filled operational equipment that meets the qualification criteria in paragraph (k)(1)of this sub-section may choose to implement for this qualified oil-filled operational equipment the alternate requirements as described in paragraph (k)(2)of this sub-section in lieu of general secondary containment required in paragraph (c)of this section. (1)Qualification Criteria-Reportable Discharge History:The owner or operator of a facility that has had no single discharge as described in§ 112.1(b)from any oil-filled operational equipment exceeding 1,000 U.S. gallons or no two discharges as described in§ 112.1(b)from any oil-filled operational equipment each exceeding 42 U.S. gallons within any twelve month period in the three years prior to the SPCC Plan certification date,or since becoming subject to this part if the facility has been in operation for less than three years(other than oil discharges as described in§ 112.1(b)that are the result of natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism); and (2)Alternative Requirements to General Secondary Containment. If secondary containment is not provided for qualified oil-filled operational equipment pursuant to paragraph (c)of this section,the owner or operator of a facility with qualified oil-filled operational equipment must: (i) Establish and document the facility procedures for inspections or a monitoring program to detect equipment failure and/or a discharge; and (ii) Unless you have submitted a response plan under§ 112.20, provide in your Plan the following: (A)An oil spill contingency plan following the provisions of part 109 of this chapter. (B)A written commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously control and remove any quantity of oil discharged that may be harmful. Immediately ensure that the Oil Spill Contingency Plan meets all the provisions of 40CFR 109 or provide general secondary containment for qualified oil-filled operational equipment. This is a Class II violation. Response: The Oil Spill Contingency Plan, located in Appendix C, has been updated to include all the provisions in 40 CFR 109.A list of emergency response equipment has been added to Table 6 of the Contingency Plan. The Oil Spill Contingency Plan is intended to address the oil-filled operational equipment in lieu of secondary containment.This is further clarified in section 6 and 16 of the SPCC plan. Violation#706—CFR 112.8(c)(2) Failed to provide and maintain adequate secondary containment. The 195 gallon emergency generator and the 140 gallon emergency generator were observed with insufficient secondary containment.The 195 gallon emergency generator and the 140 gallon emergency generator are single wall tanks.The SPCC plan states that the secondary containment is the operational oil-filled alternatives. Generators do not meet the definition of operational oil-filled equipment.All bulk storage tanks must be provided with a secondary means of containment for the entire capacity of the tank and sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. Immediately provide sufficient secondary containment for this and all other tanks at this facility. This is a repeat violation, Class II. Response: We have updated the SPCC plan to eliminate the statement that the secondary containment for the generators is the operational oil-filled alternative. The "195 gallon emergency generator" is now designated Generator C and actually has a 200 gallon fuel capacity. It will be fitted with a secondary containment capacity of approximately 261 gallons. The "140 gallon emergency generator" is now designated Generator A and actually has a 100 gallon fuel capacity. It will be fitted with a secondary containment capacity of approximately 112 gallons. The correct fuel capacities and along with the correct secondary containment volumes for both the generators have been incorporated in the SPCC plan.The construction of the secondary containments for both the generators will be completed by July 19, 2019. See Table 2.4 and 2.5 for Containment Volume Calculations in the updated SPCC plan
