This will reduce the amount of <br />process materials that are brought into the facility. <br />Suggested Protocols (including equipment needs) <br />Spill Prevention <br />Develop procedures to prevent/mitigate spills to storm drain systems. Develop and <br />standardize reporting procedures, containment, storage, and disposal activities, <br />documentation, and follow-up procedures. <br />If consistent illegal dumping is observed at the facility: <br />- Post "No Dumping" signs with a phone number for reporting illegal dumping and <br />disposal. Signs should also indicate fines and penalties applicable for illegal dumping. <br />Landscaping and beautification efforts may also discourage illegal dumping. <br />Bright lighting and/or entrance barriers may also be needed to discourage illegal <br />dumping. <br />Store and contain liquid materials in such a manner that if the tank is ruptured, the contents <br />will not discharge, flow, or be washed into the storm drainage system, surface waters, or <br />groundwater. <br />If the liquid is oil, gas, or other material that separates from and floats on water, install a <br />spill control device (such as a tee section) in the catch basins that collects runoff from the <br />storage tank area. <br />Routine maintenance: <br />Place drip pans or absorbent materials beneath all mounted taps, and at all potential <br />drip and spill locations during filling and unloading of tanks. Any collected liquids or <br />soiled absorbent materials must be reused/recycled or properly disposed. <br />- Store and maintain appropriate spill cleanup materials in a location known to all near <br />the tank storage area; and ensure that employees are familiar with the site's spill <br />control plan and/or proper spill cleanup procedures. <br />Sweep and clean the storage area monthly if it is paved, do not hose down the area to a <br />storm drain. <br />Check tanks (and any containment sumps) daily for leaks and spills. Replace tanks that <br />are leaking, corroded, or otherwise deteriorating with tanks in good condition. Collect <br />all spilled liquids and properly dispose of them. <br />Label all containers according to their contents (e.g., solvent, gasoline). <br />
