Northwest Pipe Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan 114 Company Tracy Plant a Aboveground storage containers that must be included when calculating total facility oil storage capacity include: tanks and mobile or portable containers; oil-filled operational equipment (e.g. transformers); other oil-filled equipment, such as flow-through process equipment. Exempt containers that are not included in the capacity calculation include any container with a storage capacity of less than 55 gallons of oil; containers used exclusively for wastewater treatment. b Although the criteria to determine eligibility for qualified facilities focuses on the aboveground oil storage containers at the facility,the completely buried tanks at a qualified facility are still subject to the rule requirements and must be addressed in the template; however,they are not counted toward the qualified facility applicability threshold. Counts toward qualified facility applicability threshold. d Does not apply to Oil-Filled Operational Equipment. 40 CFR 112.8(c)8 Allows the following Options: (i) High liquid level alarms with an audible or visual signal at a constantly attended operation or surveillance station. In smaller facilities, an audible air vent may suffice. (ii) High liquid level pump cutoff devices set to stop flow at a predetermined container content level(iii)Direct audible or code signal communication between the container gauger and the pumping station(iv)A fast response system for determining the liquid level of each bulk storage container such as digital computers, telepulse, or direct vision gauges. If you use this alternative, a person must be present to monitor gauges and the overall filling of bulk storage containers(v)You must regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper operation. P: Periodic visual inspections by owner, E: External inspection by a Certified Inspector, I: Internal inspection by a Certified Inspector, L: Leak Test by owner or owner's designee f (#): number of years between inspections/tests s Use one of the following methods of secondary containment or its equivalent: (1) Dikes, berms, or retaining walls sufficiently impervious to contain oil; (2) Curbing; (3) Culverting, gutters, or other drainage systems; (4)Weirs, booms, or other barriers; (5) Spill diversion ponds; (6) Retention ponds; or (7)(a) Passive Sorbent materials (7)(b)Active Sorbent materials " For storage tanks and bulk storage containers, the secondary containment capacity must be at least the capacity of the largest container plus additional capacity to contain rainfall or other precipitation.(Sized secondary containment) For oil-filled operational equipment(general secondary containment): Note in the table above if alternative measures to general secondary containment are implemented at the facility.
