4. How do I calculate oil <br />storage cap-nity <br />Use the shell capacity of the container (maximum <br />volume) and not the actual amount of product stored <br />in the container (operational volume) to determine <br />whether the SPCC rule applies to you. Count only <br />containers with storage capacity equal to or greater <br />than 55 U.S. gallons. <br />or other equipment used in the alteration, processing <br />or refining of crude oil and other non -petroleum oils, <br />including animal fats and vegetable oils. <br />5. Hoge do I deteilmine if ray fact ly <br />ye oil in in <br />or upon navigable Waters Or djnkh <br />Examples of oil storage containers at a facility that <br />do count toward facility storage capacity: <br />Bulk storage containers: Aboveground storage <br />tanks (either shop -built or field -erected tanks); certain <br />completely buried tanks; partially buried tanks; tanks <br />in vaults; bunkered tanks; and mobile or portable <br />containers such as drums, totes, non -transportation - <br />related tank trucks, and mobile refiielers. <br />Oil -filled equipment: May include electrical or <br />operating equipment such as hydraulic systems, <br />lubricating systems (e.g., those for pumps, <br />compressors and other rotating equipment, including <br />pumpjack lubrication systems), gear boxes, <br />machining coolant systems, heat transfer systems, <br />transformers, circuit breakers, and electrical switches; <br />or manufacturing equipment such as process vessels, <br />You can determine this by considering the geography <br />and location of your facility relative to nearby. <br />navigable waters (such as streams, creeks and other <br />waterways). Additionally, you should determine <br />if ditches, gullies, storm sewers or other drainage <br />systems may transport an oil spill to nearby streams. <br />Estimate the volume of oil that could be spilled in an <br />incident and how that oil might drain or flow from <br />your facility and the soil conditions or geographic <br />features that might affect the flow toward waterways. <br />Also you may want to consider whether precipitation <br />runoff could transport oil into navigable waters or <br />adjoining shorelines. You may not take into account <br />manmade features, such as dikes, equipment, or <br />
