II. WRITTEN RESPONSE PLAN 10. If an unauthorized release occurs how will the hazardous substance be cleaned un? In the state of California, if a tank leaks and the"operator is able to cleanup the release within 8 hours after the release was detected or should reasonably been detected, and which does not escape from the secondary containment,does not increase the hazard of fire or explosion and does not cause deterioration of the secondary containment of the underground storage tank, shall be recorded on the operator's monitoring reports." Thus, in this situation,the operator should make a record of the spill and maintain this record with the gasoline files at the facility. However,this situation does not require reporting to the local agency. However, all other unauthorized releases must be reported to the local agency within 24-hours. The next action would be to evacuate the primary vessel and then the secondary vessel. The tank would then be replaced and/or repaired. Any leaking pipes will be treated in the same manner. If an unauthorized release occurs from a single-wall tank and/or piping system,the same protocol should be followed. Southland would then begin any assessment and/or cleanup activities directed by the local agency 11. List the proposed methods and equipment to be used for removing and properly- disposing of any hazardous substances. Include the location and availability of the required equipment if not permanently on-site and an equipment maintenance schedule for the equipment located on site.
