Tracy Material Recovery&Transfer Station SPCC Plan 3.0 SPILL POTENTIAL AND CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS 3.1 Identification of Areas with Spill Potential The provisions of 40 CFR §112.7(b) require that the SPCC Plan identify locations where experience indicates that a reasonable potential exists for equipment failure. At these locations, the SPCC Plan should include the prediction of the flow direction, rate of flow, and the total quantity of oil which could be discharged from the facility as a result of such failure. Table 3-1 provides a list of the locations where spill events could potentially occur, and a prediction of flow rates and directions.

The closest storm drain is approximately 125 feet south of the tanks. In the event of a release from the secondary containment,facility personnel would be able to respond within at least 2 minutes.
