9. METHOD FOR OVERFILL/SPILL PROTECTION AND CLEAN-UP: (continued) 1) The delivery truck driver shall turn off the petroleum product supply at the truck, leaving the hose fully connected to the tank fill pipe and the truck. 2) The small amount of petroleum product remaining in the hose shall be slowly drained into the tank. Since the ball float valve is 2" to 3" below the top of the tank, there remains a 100 + gallon capacity within the tank at the moment when the ball float closes off delivery. The bleed hole in the ball float valve allows the remaining petroleum product in the hose to completely drain through the fill pipe into the tank. 3) The hose shall be disconnected from the fill pipe only when it has fully drained. In`the event that spillage occurs upon hose disconnection, the remaining small amount of petroleum product will be caught in a 5 gallon capacity leakproof spill container (Pomeco 111 -VE). C) Clean-up/Records: 1) Small spills (less than 1 gallon and only requiring 15 minutes to clean up) will be cleaned up using absorbent materials. 2) Larger spills will be reported to the terminal by the station operator or by delivery truck driver upon return to the terminal. The terminal supervisor will notify a local Petroleum Maintenance Contractor who is equipped with a N.F.P.A. approved type hand pump, vacuum and transport container. 3) Spills will be cleaned up within 8 hours of detection, returned to local terminal and/or disposed of in a lawful manner. 4) Station operator shall record all spills whether it is due to delivery overfill or accidental spillage, which exceeds approximately one gallon, and action taken on recordable discharge log - see Form. 10.
