• Drivers of used oil transport vehicles will be trained in the transfer of used oil containers to the transport vehicle. • Drivers of used oil transport vehicles are to remain on site during the transfer of used oil from the storage tank to the transport vehicle. • Spill kits will be available for active containment during oil transfer. At least 50 pounds of a loose absorbent material or equivalent will be available for containing spills of 25 gallons or less. Absorbent material is available from the HazMat Specialist or Auto Shop. 8. Petroleum Spill Contingency Plan The two major objectives of spill response include: • Minimize short-term or immediate hazards to personnel and the environment. • Assure recovery and long-term use of the affected area. The success of a spill response depends on how quickly appropriate personnel are notified and cleanup activities are initiated. The discharge rate of flow from the AST's would most likely be low to moderate unless the release was catastrophic, which may significantly increase the rate of flow. The discharge rate of flow from a petroleum transport truck could be high if the petroleum is discharging from the transfer hose. 8.1 Immediate Actions 8.1.1 ASTs at the Vehicle Fueling Station • Call the Central Security x6106 and Plant Operations x6351. • Determine the source of the spill. • If safe, attempt to stop flow by shutting off the dispensing equipment — The emergency shut off switch for the dispensers at the vehicle fueling station is located next to the fence North of the tanks. • Shut off ignition sources (e.g., motors, electrical circuits, open flames.) that could cause a fire in the vicinity of the discharged fuel. • Contain the spill to the immediate area and protect drainage systems or other access points to surface water. Containment methods include: — Dike the perimeter of the spill area (surround the liquid) using berms or sorbent booms — Block storm drain openings with drain mats or sorbent booms — Solidify the spill by an application of loose sorbent material • There is a spill kit located at in Plant Operations and Auto Shop. 8.1.2 AST's at Generators Follow the actions listed for the Vehicle Fueling Station, as applicable. The first action is to prevent flow of diesel into the storm drain opening.This can be done using an absorbent sock or dirt. 8.2 Notification Procedures Page 117
