Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan Tesla Treatment Facility Page 39 of 45 3.3.11 Mobile or Portable Containers [40 CFR§112.8(c)(11)] 40 CFR 112.8(c)(11) of the SPCC Rule is not applicable because there are no mobile or portable containers at the Tesla Treatment Facility. 3.4 Facility Transfer, Pumping and Facility Process [40 CFR§I 12.8(d)] Petroleum-based oil transfer operations at the Emergency Power Generation Facility include: • The transfer of diesel fuel between the tanker truck and bulk storage tanks via the SimplexTM Automated FuelPort at the loading/unloading area. • Transfer of diesel fuel between the two(2)bulk storage tanks via the SimplexTM transfer pump. • Transfer of diesel fuel between the bulk storage tanks and day tanks in the fixed standby power generators via FOS and FOR piping and transfer pumps. • The circulation of diesel fuel through the SimplexTM SmartFilter. 3.4.1 Buried Piping Cathodic Protection [40 CFR§112.8(d)(1)] 40 CFR 112.8(c)(11) of the SPCC Rule is not applicable because the underground FOS and FOR piping at the Emergency Power Generation Facility is of double-wall construction with an outer shell made of fiberglass (PCL, October 6, 2011). 3.4.2 Cap or Blank-Flange Connections [40 CFR§112.8(d)(2)] At the Emergency Power Generation Facility, the terminal connection of the fueling piping at the transfer port is capped and marked appropriately when piping is not in service or in standby service for an extended period of time. 3.4.3 Pipe Support Design [40 CFR§112.8(d)(3)] At the Emergency Power Generation Facility,the FOS and FOR piping was designed and installed with appropriate pipe supports to minimize abrasion and corrosion and allow for expansion and contraction during service (PCL, October 6, 2011). 3.4.4 Inspection of Valves, Piping and Appurtenance [40 CFR§112.8(d)(4)] Regular visual inspections of all aboveground valves, piping, and appurtenances are performed monthly and annually. This inspection includes a review and assessment of the general condition of items, such as flange joints, expansion joints, valve glands and bodies, catch pans, pipeline supports, locking valves, and metal surfaces. Preventative maintenance combines inspections for valves, piping and appurtenances with tank inspections. When a section of buried piping is exposed or is subject to material repair,the affected piping and appurtenance is examined for deterioration and distress. If damage is found, corrective action is taken to restore the integrity and functionality of the equipment, followed by integrity and leak testing as per manufacturer recommendations.
