Tracy Material Recovery&Transfer Station SPCC Plan 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR) Part 112 requires that facilities subject to federal oil pollution prevention regulations develop and maintain a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. The State of California incorporates 40 CFR Part 112 by reference into California Health and Safety Code Section 25503.4. Federal oil pollution prevention regulations apply to facilities that have bulk petroleum storage that exceed the following thresholds: Underground storage capacity(total):42,000 gallons Aboveground storage capacity(total): 1,320 gallons In accordance with these regulations, a facility must address all containers of oil that are equal to or greater than 55 gallons. This SPCC Plan has been prepared for Tracy Material Recovery & Solid Waste Transfer, Inc. (TMR) and is designed to prevent releases of oil and to mitigate the effects should an oil leak or spill occur. This SPCC Plan was prepared in accordance with the regulations of 40 CFR, Part 112.7 (40 CFR §112.7) and any other applicable section of 40 CFR Part 112. This SPCC Plan meets the requirements in the revised regulations that were effective on January 14, 2010. A cross-reference of applicable regulatory requirements and the locations where they are discussed in this SPCC Plan is provided in Appendix 1. This SPCC Plan shall be maintained at the Facility at all times. 1.2 Certification of Substantial Harm Determination Form The Oil Pollution Prevention regulations of 1990 (OPA 90), originally promulgated under the Clean Water Act, directs facilities that could cause substantial harm to the environment by discharging oil into navigable waters of the US to prepare and submit a Facility Response Plan (FRP) for responding to a worst case discharge of oil and to a substantial threat of such a discharge. Under 40 CFR 112, Appendix C, facilities that do not meet the substantial harm criteria are not required to maintain a FRP; however, they must document and maintain their determination as part of their SPCC Plan. The TMR Facility does not meet the substantial harm criteria; therefore, it is not required to maintain an FRP. A certified Substantial Harm Determination Form for the Facility is provided in Appendix 2 of this Plan. 1.3 SPCC Plan Review and Certification In accordance with 40 CFR §112.3, this SPCC Plan has been reviewed and certified by a registered Professional Engineer(P.E.).This certification is provided in Section 1.4.
