PMER how 2. Regulatory Framework - §112.1 The purpose of this SPCC Plan is to describe measures implemented by Owens-Brockway to prevent oil discharges from occurring and to prepare Owens-Brockway to respond in a safe, effective, and timely manner to mitigate the impacts of a discharge from the Facility. This Plan has been prepared to meet the requirements of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112 (40 CFR Part 112), and supersedes any previously drafted plans for this Facility. There is a State of California law that applies to aboveground tanks that contain petroleum: the California Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act(APSA) in the California Health and Safety Code Section 25270 (H&SC 25270). The APSA requires that facilities complete a SPCC Plan per the 40 CFR 112 requirements, perform monitoring to detect releases, and pay biennial storage statement fees to the State of California if the aboveground quantities of oil on site are in excess of the SPCC Plan requirements in 40 CFR 112. In addition to fulfilling requirements of 40 CFR 112, this SPCC Plan is used as a reference for oil storage information and testing records, as a tool to communicate practices on preventing and responding to discharges with employees, as a guide to Facility inspections, and as a resource during emergency response. The information and guidelines held within compile the safeguards, inspections, and best practices to prevent a discharge to the environment before it happens. 3. Availability of the Plan - §112.3(e) Per 40 CFR 112, this is a manned facility(manned greater than four(4) hours per day; therefore, a copy of this SPCC Plan is available in the Environmental Specialist's office of this Facility and electronically at the corporate office. If requested, the Plan will be available for on-Site review by representatives of the EPA or other local regulatory entities during normal working hours. In addition, copies of the Plan must be available for access to all persons responsible for administration of the Plan. 4. Amendments to the Plan by Regional Administrator - §112.4 In the event the Facility has a discharge of more than 1,000 U.S. gallons of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines in a single event, or two (2) discharges or more of 42 gallons or more in a 12 month period of time, Owens-Brockway environmental personnel will submit the following information within 60 days of the spill event to the EPA Regional Administrator, and within 30 days to the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES)Warning Center. 1.
