DRAFT Ver. 1-C-doc-4-5-10 Page 14 Tier II Qualified Facility SPCC Plan The owner or operator must meet the general rule requirements as well as requirements under this section. Note that not all provisions may be applicable to all owners/operators. For example, a facility maynot maintain completely buried metallic storage tanks installed after January 10, 1974, and thus would not have to abide by requirementsin §§112.8(c)(4) and 112.12(c)(4), listed below.In cases where a provision is not applicable, write “N/A”. Table G-18 General Rule Requirements for Onshore Facilities N/A Facility Drainage Requirements Drainage from diked storage areas is restrained by valves to prevent a discharge into the drainage system or facility effluent treatment system, except where facility systems are designed to control such discharge. Diked areas may be emptied by pumps or ejectors that must be manually activated after inspecting the condition of the accumulation to ensure no oil will be discharged.[§§112.8(b)(1) and 112.12(b)(1)] Valves of manual, open-and-closed design are used for the drainage of diked areas.[§§112.8(b)(2) and 112.12(b)(2)] Facility drainage systems from undiked areas with a potential for a discharge are designed to flow into ponds, lagoons, or catchment basins to retain oil or return it to the facility. Catchment basins are not located in areas subject to periodic flooding.[§112.8(b)(3) and 112.12(b)(3)] If facility drainage is not engineered as in (b)(3) above, the facility will equip the final discharge of all ditches inside the facility with a diversion system that would, in the event of an uncontrolled discharge, retain oil in the facility.[§112.8(b)(4) and 112.12(b)(4)] Where drainage waters are treated in more than one treatment unit and such treatment is continuous, and pump transfer is needed, two “lift” pumps are provided and at least one of the pumps is permanently installed. Whatever techniques are used, facility drainage systems have been engineered to prevent a discharge as described in §112.1(b) in case there is an equipment failure or human error at the facility. [§112.8(b)(5) and 112.12(b)(5)] Bulk Storage Container Requirements The containers at the facility are compatible with materials stored and conditions of storage such as pressure and temperature.[§§112.8(c)(1) and 112.12(c)(1)] All facility bulk storage tank installations (including mobile or portable oil storage containers) provide a secondary means of containment for the entire capacity of the largest single container and sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. Diked areas are sufficiently impervious to contain discharged oil. [§112.8(c)(2) & (c)(11)] An alternative containment system has been provided consisting of a drainage trench enclosure arranged so that any discharge will terminate and be safely confined in a facility catchment basin or holding pond. [§112.8(c)(2)] Mobile refuelers and/or other non-transportation related tank trucks are provided with general containment or other diversionary structures or equipment meeting §112.7(c) (see Table G-10). [§112.8(c)(11)] Mobile or portable oil storage containers are positioned to prevent a discharge as described in §112.1(b). [§112.8(c)(11)] Diked Area Drainage If uncontaminated rainwater from diked areas drains into a storm drain or open watercourse (bypassing any facility effluent treatment system) the following procedures will be implemented at the facility: [§§112.8(c)(3)(i – iv) and 112.12(c)(3)(i – iv)] x Bypass valve is normally sealed closed x Retained rainwater is inspected to ensure that its presence will not cause a discharge to navigable waters or adjoining shorelines x Bypass valve is opened and resealed following drainage under responsible supervision x Adequate records of drainage are kept [See Dike Drainage Log in Attachment 3.3] Facility Name: A.
