6.0 Impact Considerations Version :27.10.4 <br /> Spill on Stream which Flows into Lake or Pond <br /> In certain locations where streams (small and large ones) flow into lakes or ponds at <br /> relatively short distances, it is conceivable that a spill could reach the lake before <br /> containment and recovery operations are set up. If time permits for containment operations <br /> to be set up on the stream in question, it then would be handled as described above <br /> depending upon the stream size involved. <br /> However, if product in the stream is near the lake site or if product is flowing into the lake with <br /> a significant amount yet to arrive, a different containment should be employed. <br /> . Confinement Methods <br /> Product on a stream flowing into a lake should be boomed as close to the entrance as <br /> possible. The boom should be positioned on the lake at an angle to the residential <br /> stream current so as to direct the surface water to a slower moving area. The area <br /> where the product is being deflected should be enclosed by booms to contain it. An <br /> additional boom for sweeping the product to the bank will be required. This area of <br /> containment should not have a current velocity of more than 1/2 knot (0.8 ft./sec.), <br /> preferably less. <br /> • Removal Methods <br /> The removal of product from the lake or pond's surface would be handled as described <br /> earlier. <br /> For sizable releases, collected product will usually be pumped into tank trucks and <br /> transported to a storage facility. Tank trucks are available at several locations <br /> throughout. <br /> Shell Supply and Distribution 6-36 Stockton Terminal FRP <br /> ©2019 Witt 0' Brien's Revision Date:October, 2019 <br />
