❑� Northwest Pipe Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan 2 �--. Company Tracy Plant 1.2 General Applicability and SPCC Plan Preparation Requirement The Tracy Plant is a non-transportation related on-shore facility captured under both 40 CFR § 112 and the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act or APSA: x❑ The Tracy Plant was operating on or before August 16, 2002 [40 CFR § 112.3(a)(1)]. ❑ Oil and oil products are stored, transferred, distributed, used, or consumed at the Tracy Plant. The Tracy Plant could reasonably be expected to discharge oil in quantities which may be harmful into or upon the navigable waters of the United States [40 CFR § 112.1(b)]. The term "navigable waters" includes coastal waters and inland surface waters (ponds, lakes, rivers, creeks, etc.). In general, if a discharge of oil can reach a storm drain, dry creek, or dry wash, it is reasonable to assume that the discharge can reach "navigable water". x❑ The aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity of the facility is greater than 1,320 U.S. gallons [40 CFR § 112.1(d)(2)(ii) and HSC § 25270.3] The Tracy Plant has an aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity greater than 10,000 U.S. gallons. It cannot be considered a Tier 1 or Tier 2 qualified facility as described in 40 CFR§ 112.3(g). Tier 1 is for facilities with no individual tank larger than 5,000 gallons. Tier 2 is for facilities which have not had a previous spill, essentially; and have an aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity of 10,000 gallons or less. Therefore, this SPCC Plan has been prepared to conform to the applicable provisions of 40 CFR § 112.3(d), 112.7, and 112.8 which will be called a "certified" SPCC Plan. The owner or operator of a facility subject to this part must prepare a Plan in accordance with good engineering practices. The Plan must have the full approval of management at a level of authority to commit the necessary resources to implement the Plan fully. Every attempt has been made to follow the sequence specified. This SPCC Plan includes a section cross-referencing the location of requirements listed in 40 CFR §112.7 and those required elements in this SPCC plan (Appendix A). As detailed elsewhere in this plan, how this facility conforms with or intends to comply with all applicable SPCC Plan requirements are included. 1.3 SPCC Plan Organization and SPCC Rule Cross Reference This SPCC Plan has been organized to facilitate implementation of the plan by Tracy Plant management. While this document contains all necessary SPCC Plan and APSA elements, it may not follow the exact SPCC Plan sequence specified in 40 CFR§ 112.7. As stated above, Appendix A contains a cross-reference table which links the federal regulatory requirements (and APSA or HSC §25270 et seq. by reference) with the corresponding section(s) of this SPCC Plan.
