Introduction

This Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan aims to ensure implementation of control measures that will be used to reduce pollutants discharges from the project site, assures compliance with the terms and conditions of Title 40 CFR and ADOT Specification 104.16.C. The SPCC identifies the responsible party or parties for on-site SPCC implementation. Project limits are located entirely within [Select applicable landownership type] in [Insert county location] (see Figures 1 and 2).

The site-specific SPCC will be on-site [Select site-specific location of SPCC.] whenever construction or support activities are actively underway and will be available to the EPA or to any other federal, state, tribal, or local authority having jurisdiction over the project.

The potential discharge(s) from this project will be wholly stormwater associated with earthmoving activities including the following: [Insert all applicable activities (geotechnical investigation, milling replacement, bridge construction, roadway construction, batch plant operations, etc.)]. Discharge points have been identified in the Project Site Map of Attachment B.

This Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan will be provided to the ADOT Engineer for approval prior to the Operator staging or storing any on-site above-ground storage of oils larger than 1,320 gallons begins. This SPCC may be maintained as part of the approved Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).

Personnel (SPCC Team)

The Code of Federal Regulations Title 40 requires trained personnel in Section 112.7(f). At a minimum, train oil-handling personnel in the operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges; discharge procedure protocols; applicable pollution control laws, rules, and regulations; general facility operations; and the contents of the facility SPCC Plan. There should be a designated person(s) at each facility that is accountable for discharge prevention and who reports to facility management. The team can be a “team” of one individual. Also, schedule and conduct discharge prevention briefings for all oil-handling personnel at least once a year to assure an adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan for that facility. Such briefings must highlight and describe known discharges or failures, malfunctioning components, and any recently developed precautionary measures. These are the minimum requirements as indicated in 40 CFR 112.7(f).

SPCC Team

The trained and authorized personnel for this project is [Insert Rep’s Name]. The Personnel Training and Qualifications Log is located in Attachment F of this SPCC.

Company:	[Insert company name.]
Address:	[Insert address (Street, Suite/Unit/etc., City, State Abbrev. Zip Code).]
Phone:	[Insert phone number (111-222-3333).]
E-Mail:	[Insert hyperlinked e-mail address.]
Responsibilities	Supervise and direct all activities pertaining to [Insert Project Name], monitoring, and implementation, including control-measure installation and maintenance and correction to comply with 40 CFR 112 standards for conducting sampling, tracking, handling and report keeping and submittal.

The following section on training are the requirements necessary to meet compliance to the current SPCC regulations.

All facility personnel should be trained in oil spill prevention techniques, including:

Inspecting for evidence of oil spill or leak;

Inspect the outside of the container for signs of deterioration, discharges, or accumulation of oil inside containment areas;

Checking equipment gauges for abnormal operating conditions;

Proper oil sampling techniques;

Oil spill reporting.

Conduct integrity testing and routinely inspect the following aboveground bulk storage containers with a capacity of 55 gallons or more:

Large (field-constructed or field-erected) and small (shop-built) bulk storage containers;

Containers located on, partially in (partially buried, bunkered, or vaulted tanks), and off the ground wherever located; and

Double-walled containers.

Personal Protective Gear

Employees who respond to an oil spill will wear appropriate protective gear. This protective gear will be stored at [Choose spill response gear location]. Operator employees will wear clothing that protects against direct and prolonged physical contact with oil/fuels. As a minimum, responders will wear impervious (nitrile, neoprene, Hypalox, or heavy-gauge polyethylene) gloves, boots, overshoes, and safety glasses or goggles. For major oil spills, responders will also wear protective suits.

First-Aid Procedures

Employees who come in direct contact with insulating oil will adhere to the following procedures:

Skin contact:	Wash affected area with hand cleaner. Follow with a wash of soap and water.

Eye contact: Flush with water.

If irritation occurs, get medical attention.

Training

Before any inspection is to take place, SPCC Team personnel will be trained for proper usage of field inspection equipment and procedures for visual inspection. This plan contains a contact list (Attachment D) that is to be used to contact and communicate any non-compliance with the regulations or SPCC plan such as exceedances in testing parameters or mobilization to correct, contain, remediate a spill. The phone tree (Attachment A) also clearly defines the notification responsibilities of the individuals listed.

Familiarity with this plan, Title 40 CFR requirements, and proper techniques are of the utmost importance for obtaining accurate measurements and information, and to provide the highest level of accuracy in both recording and reporting findings. To maintain consistency in recording and reporting findings, the inspection should be performed by only one or two individuals. However, anyone associated with SPCC inspection will be appropriately trained in documentation requirements, quality assurance/quality control techniques, proper use of testing supplies and meters, proper technique of filling out an inspection report, evaluation of the results, and the proper cadence when dealing with any reporting/recording.

Before scheduled inspection, all associated equipment should be tested and any necessary maintenance necessary performed to insure proper working condition. Keeping all cell testing equipment in a designated place will help to ensure a rapid response to a monitoring triggered by a rain event. Any testing equipment used for this facility requires proper calibration on each piece equipment as specified by EPA methodology and manufacturer standards.

Inspection Training

As a member of the SPCC Team, I have been trained to adequately operate inspection and monitoring equipment, proper documentation, reporting processes. The list of training and SPCC skills are listed in Attachment F: Personnel Training and Qualifications Log.

Documentation

The operator will document the site conditions using the Spill Release/Incident in Attachment C of this SPCC. Documentation of the site conditions during inspection will include weather, temperature, conditions requiring the collection of inspection results that have potential to become a leak or spill. These documentation notes will identify the conditions during inspection.

Water Quality Parameters

[Select language pertaining to additional notifications.]

Facility Information

[Insert general description of your project.]

Type of Facility

The [Insert facility Type Infromation.] contains the following equipment containing a greater than fifty-five (55) gallon capacity of oil (containment drums, tanks, bladders, bulk storage, etc.):

OIL-FILLED EQUIPMENT
Type of Equipment	Type of Oil	Volume (gallons)	Quantity	Combined Volume (gallons)
[Insert text pertaining to equipment that can hold 55 gallons or more (transformers, boot trucks, etc.).]	[Select applicable oil type]	[Insert the amount each piece of equipment holds.]	[Insert the number of each one of these types of equipment.]	[Insert the combined volume of gallons multiplied by how many pieces of equipment is on site.]

Each piece of oil-filled equipment is designed to operate as a sealed unit. The equipment listed above will be only opened in the field to collect an oil sample for testing, to pump out oil to service the equipment, or to refuel. Other potentials for releasing oil include equipment failures and tank ruptures due to incidents in handling or shipping, internal failures, and/or vandalism. The facility will not be manned outside of standard working hours . Personnel will be at the facility for construction work, routine inspections per SPCC conditions, and/or for general operation(s).

Oil Spill Analysis

Any oil released from the equipment or fuel cells would be contained within the properly sized secondary containment. Oil absorbing materials and spills kits will be placed at each fuel/oil secondary containment locations to clean up and properly containerize spill/leak and spill/leak clean up material(s) upon discovery. If an instantaneous rupture occurs including a hydraulic line break or saddle tank leak, the Operator will protect the spill area from other personnel and equipment from entering the area, make steps to prevent downhill/downstream discharge (create earthen berms, install temporary berms, etc.) and notify ADOT. Please see SPCC Incident Report Form in Appendix C. Tanks, lines, hoses, and gaskets have a high probability of failure and have also been included in this analysis. The following table lists potential events that could result in a release of oil. Also shown is the volume of oil released and the rate of release.

Potential Spill Volume and Rates
Potential Event	Volume Released	Release Rate
[Insert text pertaining to possible events (I.e., leaking gasket, dented or torn tank or hose, rupture.).]	[Choose Amount]	[Choose Rate]

In addition to release rates above, this SPCC Plan has also considered a runoff rate. The runoff rate determines how fast an oil release will be carried off-site. Considerations include the maximum 2-Year, 24-Hour rainfall year period, and the physical characteristics of the site and site soils. The local 2-Year, 24-Hour rainfall intensity for this site is [Insert inches per hour intensity from NOAA data Found here. Click on the paragraph button in under the “Home” ribbon for guidance on use.]. https://hdsc.nws.noaa.gov/hdsc/pfds/pfds_map_cont.html?bkmrk=az

The physical characteristics of the site and the site soils will affect spill response. [Chose a soil characteristic based on USDA Soil Map].http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/

The site map (Attachment B) indicates area where a reasonable potential for equipment failure (loading or unloading equipment, tank overflow, rupture, or leakage, or any other equipment known to be a source of a discharge), and shows the direction of flow for the above listed rates, total quantity of oil which could be discharged from the facility as a result of each type of spill, leak, or equipment failure.

Secondary Containment

Containment and Diversionary Structures (40 CFR 112.7(c))

This facility will use [Choose containment or write-in]. for secondary containment. See Attachment E: Diagram and Calculation of Secondary Containment Capacity for the facility.

[Secondary Containment]

Methods of secondary containment at this facility include a combination of structures. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) sheets will be centrally located, accessible at all times and all personnel informed of that location. Liquids and petroleum products shall be stored in approved containers and drums and placed in temporary containment areas for storage.

Storage, preparation, and mixing shall be accomplished in secondary containment facilities. Each secondary containment shall have sufficient capacity to contain 10% of the volume of containers or the volume of the largest container, whichever is greater and shall include a floor and wall constructed to be impervious to the materials contained therein for a minimum contact time of 72 hours.

Local building and fire codes which require separation shall be provided between stored containers to allow for spill cleanup and emergency response access. Secondary containment will also have protection from wind, snowmelt, and rain. All secondary containment facilities shall be maintained free of accumulated rainwater and spills. Should rain or snowmelt accumulates in containment, dewatering must occur using ADOT approved testing. All testing records will be submitted to ADOT prior to dewatering. All dewatering must remain on-site and not allowed off property.

Materials shall be stored in their original containers and the original product labels shall be maintained in place in a legible condition. Damaged or otherwise illegible labels shall be replaced immediately.

Any partial buried metallic storage tanks will have coatings or cathodic protection compatible with local soil conditions in order to prevent corrosion. Quarterly leak test are required for any completely buried metallic storage tanks.

This facility will not allow drainage of uncontaminated rainwater from the secondary containment area into a storm drain or discharge into an open watercourse, lake, or pond, bypassing the facility treatment system unless:

Notify ADOT RE and receive written approval to drain containment

All other times, keep the bypass valve sealed closed and locked where required.

Inspect the retained rainwater to ensure that its presence will not cause a discharge as described in § 112.1(b).

Open the bypass valve and reseal it following drainage; and

Keep adequate records of such events, for example, any records required under permits issued in accordance with § 112.41(j)(2) and 112.41(m)(3) of this chapter.

Proper storage instructions will be posted at all times in an open and conspicuous location. Any hazardous chemicals well labeled and in their original containers. Spill clean up materials in enough amount to clean up the largest container spill will be kept within 30 feet of the secondary containment storage area. Only industry standard devices will be used to transfer chemicals from one container to another. Manufacturer’s instructions regarding uses, protective equipment, ventilation, flammability, and transferring of chemicals/fuels will be used on this facility. [Select language pertaining to heating coils].

Security

This SPCC will use security measures for the facility. The regulation (40 CFR 112.7(g)) requires that the operator secure and control access to the oil handling and storage areas; secure master flow and drain valves; prevent unauthorized access to starter controls on oil pumps; secure out-of-service and loading/unloading connections of oil pipelines; and address the appropriateness of security lighting to both prevent acts of vandalism and assist in the discovery of oil discharges. [Insert text pertaining to site specific security (I.e., cameras, lighting, fence/gates, guards, etc.).]

Effluent Treatment Facilities

[Select Treatment.]

Loading/Unloading Procedures

(40 CFR 112.7(h)(2) and (3))

All suppliers must meet the minimum requirements and regulations for tank truck loading/unloading established by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The Contractor will ensure that the vendor understands the site layout, knows the procedure for entering the facility and unloading product, where to unload, and has the necessary equipment to respond to a discharge from the vehicle or fuel delivery hose.

All loading and unloading of tank vehicles takes place only in the designated loading rack/unloading area located [Choose loading/unloading area]. Loading and uploading areas have been identified in the Project Site Map of Attachment B.

Vehicle filling operations are performed by facility personnel trained in proper discharge prevention procedures. The truck driver or facility personnel remain with the vehicle at all times while fuel is being transferred. Transfer operations are performed according to the minimum procedures outlined in the procedure checklist below:

Fuel Transfer Procedure Checklist

Time	Procedure
Before loading/ unloading	Visually check all hoses for leaks. Verify that enough volume is available in the tank to receive the load. Secure the tank vehicle with wheel chocks and interlocks. Make sure that the vehicle’s parking brakes are set. Install drip pan below transfer. Check for proper alignment of valves and proper functioning of the pumping system. If filling a tank truck, inspect the lowermost drain and all outlets. Establish all electrical grounding before connecting to the fuel transfer point. Turn off cell phone or leave in in the cab.
During loading/ unloading	Driver must stay with the vehicle at all times during loading/unloading activities. Periodically inspect all systems, hoses and connections. When loading, keep internal and external valves on the receiving tank open along with the pressure relief valves. When making a connection, shut off the vehicle engine. Monitor the liquid level in the receiving tank to prevent overflow. Monitor flow meters to determine rate of flow. When topping off the tank, reduce flow rate to prevent overflow.
After loading/ unloading	Make sure the transfer operation is completed. Close all tank and loading valves before disconnecting. Securely close all vehicle internal, external, and dome cover valves before disconnecting. Disconnect grounding wires. Make sure the hoses are drained to remove the remaining oil before moving them away from the connection. Remove drip pan. Cap the end of the hose and other connecting devices before moving them to prevent uncontrolled leakage. Remove wheel chocks and interlocks. Inspect the lowermost drain and all outlets on tank truck prior to departure. If necessary, tighten, adjust, or replace caps, valves, or other equipment to prevent oil leaking while driving.

During filling or transferring fuels/oils to tanks and cells, this facility will provide the following device(s) to make sure overfilling and spillage does not occur: [Select an action or device].

Spill Prevention and Control

The greatest risk for an oil discharge occurs when equipment experiences a catastrophic failure. To minimize this type of failure, the Contractor will use sound engineering judgment when selecting and applying oil-filled equipment and perform mechanical work in pre-designated and ADOT approved areas. Fueling and fuel storage on site in generators, and fuel cells (55-gallon drums and greater) has the greatest potential for sills or leaks. Therefore, to minimize fuel discharge and cell failure, all fuel cells, tanks.

Mobile Fueling

Spill Countermeasures

Direct Countermeasures

The actions listed in this Section are to be taken within 15 minutes after the discovery of an oil/fuel spill. The SPCC Team must organize and supervise the response effort. Personnel who detect an oil/fuel release will obtain basic information where, what, how much, rate).

The above information will be reported to the ADOT RE with one hour of discovery. An estimate of the personnel and equipment needed to help contain the spill or to help in preliminary cleanup, and a decision of whether or not the local Fire Department will be communicated at this time. If an oil/fuel leak or spill has discharged off-site (beyond Right of Way (ROW)) or Temporary Construction Easements (TCEs), through a culvert, in a ditch, gone beyond an established perimeter or has already entered a waterway or is likely to do so (volume, weather conditions, etc.), call the local Fire Department for help (see Phone Tree Attachment A).

Notify all employees on site, ADOT Engineer, and/or the local Fire Department.

SPCC team employees will stop at the closest spill response location for personnel protective equipment (PPE), cleanup materials, and overpack products. See Facility Site Map Attachment B for locations of cleanup supplies.

Terminate the source of flow of the spill/leak and as safe as possible, make sure the spill is totally contained. Plug the leak, close the valve, dig a trench, dike, etc. so long as it can be done safely to stop the spill from leaving the solar plant facility property or entering a waterway.

The SPCC Team is responsible to keep the spill area secure until additional help arrives and keep unauthorized persons, vehicles, or equipment from entering the spill area while the necessary spill response activity occurs.

De-energize any equipment within 100 feet and any equipment/cells that are spilling/leaking.

Place oil/fuel absorbent materials into the spill area and beyond the last detectable location and take actions necessary to minimize or eliminate environmental damage. See Facility Site Map Attachment B for placement locations of containment materials.

After spill response, a licensed contractor listed in (see Phone Tree Attachment A) must be used to remove oil and oil-soaked materials from the containment area(s) ADOT in coordination with the licensed spill response contractor will determine the amount of cleanup required to comply with established regulatory environmental standards.

After direct countermeasures have been started, the reporting procedures described in this SPCC will begin immediately and in direct coordination with ADOT.

Employee Discovering Spill:

1.	If incidental (release of a hazardous substance that does not pose a significant safety or health hazard to employees in the immediate vicinity or to employees cleaning it up, does not have the potential to become an emergency within an hour, is limited in quantity, exposure potential or toxicity), stop the spill and Notify SPCC Team Members and the ADOT RE, see Phone Tree Attachment A.

2.	If more than incidental, prevent exposure to anyone on site and notify ADOT within 15 minutes. If a spill goes offsite or during construction, external incidents occur (i.e. public vehicle wrecks, semi-truck releases) within the project boundaries and release fuels. Additional contacts may include:

(602) 257-1563: ADOT Traffic Operations Center, or

(800) 379-3701: Arizona Department of Public Safety's Hazardous Materials Response Unit (HMRU)

Once spill is properly remediated, complete Attachment C: SPCC Incident Report Form and submit to the ADOT RE (see Phone Tree Attachment A).

Cleanup Procedures

Spill kits that include absorbent material, booms, and other barriers are located [Choose loading/unloading area], near the oil/fuel storage area, as shown on the Facility Site Map in Appendix B. The spill kits are located within close proximity of the oil product storage and handling areas for rapid deployment should a spill occur. The response equipment and personnel for the facility is listed in the Personnel Section of this SPCC and in Attachment G: Personnel Training and Qualifications Log of this Plan. The inventory is checked monthly to ensure that used material is replenished.

The cleanup procedure is as follows:

Absorb as much oil/fuel as possible from water and soil before removing any soils.

Remove all oil-saturated earth, oil-coated rock, and oil sorbent material and drum the material in DOT 5B or 17C drums (if less than ten (10) drums ±) or use loaders and dump trucks for larger quantities.

Material not placed into drums will be hauled to a temporary stockpile at another location approved by the District Environmental Coordinator (DEC). Stockpiled material from different spills or different chemicals, fuels, oils can never be mixed.

Oil on the surface of any waterbody or stormwater sewer system (including ADOT roadside ditches) will be collected by an approved disposal contractor (see Phone Tree, Attachment A) and disposed of in a legal manner per the County’s approval and in accordance with State and Federal regulations.

Clean concrete and asphalt surfaces with dry methods and non-hazardous sorbents. Use PPE and dispose of the clean-up materials and used PPE with the other oil spill solids.

Repair all facilities designed for oil containment purposes should they be damaged during the spill or cleanup operations.

Notify ADOT of any damage observed to any of the facility.

All oil and spent cleanup material, such as rags, oil sorbent sheets, booms, etc., must be disposed of in a legal manner. Disposal of used oil and cleanup debris is regulated by the EPA and ADOT HazMat Team.

Inspection

Part of spill prevention measures is a routine inspection program. The inspection is intended to be a routine walk-around and include the container’s supports and foundations. Every 14 calendar days the Operator will visually inspect the equipment, tanks, and secondary containment for signs of deterioration, leaks, rips, or breakage in secondary containment. During the 14-calendar day inspection, SPCC Team personnel also check the temperature, pressure gauges, and oil levels. Inspections are documented on record logs which are kept at the Operators’ [Select site-specific location of SPCC.]. Depending on the type of container(s), integrity testing may include an external visual inspection or may involve non-destructive testing such as Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) or ultrasonic thickness (UT) measurements, vacuum box testing, and weld inspection in order to check and verify the container(s) condition. Inspection forms are to be attached in Attachment D. Copies of all Inspection Reports will be submitted to ADOT prior to the next scheduled inspection.

The Operator will promptly correct visible discharges which result in a loss of oil from containers, including but not limited to seams, gaskets, piping, pumps, valves, rivets, and bolts. Any accumulation of oil in diked or secondary containment areas will be cleaned and removed upon discovery.

If a field-constructed aboveground container undergoes a repair, alteration, reconstruction, or a change in service that might affect the risk of a discharge or failure due to brittle fracture or other catastrophe or has discharged oil or failed due to brittle fracture failure or other catastrophe, during inspection, the Operator will evaluate the container for risk of discharge or failure due to brittle fracture or other catastrophe, and as necessary, take appropriate action. [Choose inspection frequency language.]

Reporting

A spill which will not discharge off of the property, and in which immediate countermeasures and cleanup is carried out promptly, will not require outside notification. However, ADOT will be notified within 15 minutes of discovery.

Those spills which discharge off ADOT property, Temporary Construction Easement (TCE), or yard/source must be reported to State and Federal agencies and the National Response Center. ADOT will be notified upon discovery and coordination with ADOT will take place before calling any external resource.

If a spill is more than 1,000 gallons or if two (2) spills combining for more than forty-two (42) gallons occur within a twelve (12) month period, EPA Region 9 National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802. It is the responsibility of the SPCC Team to notify the ADOT RE.

For any spill, a complete written report must be made giving the details of the spill, date and time of discovery, size, location, measured and referenced boundaries, and all notifications and actions taken with respect to the spill. All spills, deficiencies and corrective actions will be reported using the printed “Spill Release/Incident Form” in Attachment C.

When required, the SPCC Team will cooperate with ADOT and be responsible to notify to the appropriate agencies within twenty- four (24) hours. A spill of any quantity that impacts a waterway within Arizona must be reported. If in doubt, report the spill. The following agencies will require notification of any spill or leak of 1,000 Gallons or more.
