**REVIEW DOCUMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT APPROVAL PAGE**

**REVIEW DOCUMENTATION**

In accordance with Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part
112.5(b), a review and evaluation of this Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan shall be conducted at least once every 5
years. This evaluation shall be conducted by the Meteorologist in
Charge, National Weather Service (NWS) Regional Environmental/Safety
Coordinator, or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
Regional Environmental Compliance Officer.

If a change in the facility design, construction, operation, or
maintenance has materially affected the potential for the discharge of
oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining
shorelines, an amendment shall be fully implemented as soon as possible,
but no later than six months after such a change occurs, and shall be
certified by a Professional Engineer. In this case, the National Weather
Service shall amend the plan to include more effective prevention and
control technology if:

> C Such technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill
> event, and
>
> C If such technology has been field-proven at the time of review.

When a change at the facility has not affected the potential for
discharge (such as a change in personnel or contact information), the
amendment can be made any time, and certification by a Professional
Engineer shall not be required.

**SITE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATIONS**This section describes the site
location, its operations that store diesel fuel, site drainage patterns,
spill history, and spill potential.

> **Facility Location, Layout, and Operations**The facility is located
> in Amarillo, Texas (Figure 1). Figure 2 shows the layout of the
> facility, including the location of a 850-gallon aboveground storage
> tank (AST), a 35-gallon day tank, and two 250-gallon Radar Data
> Acquisition (RDA) tanks.
>
> The 850-gallon AST and 35-gallon day tank store fuel that is used to
> power a 175-kilowatt (kW) emergency WFO generator. The WFO generator
> is used to supply backup electricity for WFO building operations. The
> day tank and 175-kW generator are inside the generator building
> located immediately west of the WFO and are not exposed to
> precipitation. The 850-gallon AST is located north of the generator
> room.
>
> The two 250-gallon RDA tanks store fuel that is used to power the
> facility's RDA emergency generator. The RDA emergency generator
> supplies backup electricity to the RDA tower and equipment located
> approximately 70 feet east of the WFO building. The RDA tanks and RDA
> generator are located in the RDA generator building and are not
> exposed to precipitation.
>
> The estimated fuel usage is approximately 9 gallons per month. This
> estimate is based on an automatic test of the generators once per week
> for 1 hour. Fuel consumption would increase depending on the frequency
> and duration of any power outages.
>
> **Facility Storage**The 850-gallon AST is a welded steel, cylindrical
> tank that is horizontally situated. The 850-gallon AST has a primary
> and primary emergency vent. The 850-gallon AST is connected to a pump
> on top of the 35-gallon steel day tank via a 1-inch diameter steel
> pipe. The pump moves fuel from the 850-gallon AST into the day tank.
> The 1-inch diameter steel pipe is encased by a 4-inch diameter
> poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) pipe from the top of the 850-gallon AST to
> the exterior wall of the generator storage building. The day tank is
> connected to the generator by flexible rubber supply and return lines.
> An overflow basin is present to contain spills from the day tank.
>
> The two 250-gallon RDA tanks are rectangular, single-walled welded
> steel plates. Fuel for the RDA generator is fed directly from the RDA
> tanks via rubber supply lines.
>
> Table 1 summarizes the pertinent information on the tanks at the
> facility. A copy of all tank registrations and other tank records is
> included in Appendix A.
>
> **Drainage Pathway and Distance to Navigable Waters**The area around
> the WFO and RDA tower is relatively flat. Fuel spilled from the
> 850-gallon AST would west across an asphalt driveway to a grassy
> swale. The swale directs flow south through a small culvert to a
> grassy area south of the WFO parking lot. Fuel spilled from the RDA
> containment areas would flow east across the gravel surrounding the
> RDA generator building, then continue across a grassy area towards a
> drainage swale along Old English Road. The nearest water body
> receiving drainage from these areas is located approximately 0.2 mile
> from the site.
>
> **Spill History**[Reportable spill events from 1990 to present (date
> on cover of this plan)]{.underline}:
>
> None.
>
> **Spill Potential, Volumes, and Rates**The potential causes of spills
> are from tank overfilling, a ruptured hose during fuel unloading,
> failure of a fuel supply line to the generator or day tank, vehicle
> collision, structural failure, vandalism, or a natural disaster. For
> the day tank, additional causes could include failure of the day tank
> pump to shut down or failure of the line from the pump to the day
> tank.
>
> Spills can be prevented through the prevention and countermeasures in
> place or recommended in this plan. Operational procedures are in place
> to prevent overfilling during fuel unloading, and countermeasures can
> be used to prevent spills that may occur during unloading from
> reaching the nearest water body. Failure of supply lines, pumps or
> hoses can be minimized through routine inspections. Spills caused by
> vehicle collision or vandalism can easily be prevented because none of
> the tanks are in the direct line of traffic. Also, the WFO generator
> building would likely contain a spill from the day tank and the two
> RDA tanks are located within a locked building that is designed to
> contain spills. Vandalism is generally deterred because the facility
> is manned 24 hours per day; the RDA area is fenced for additional
> deterrence. Spills caused by a natural disaster are low probability
> events and impractical to defend against beyond the spill prevention,
> control, and countermeasures currently in place. Part IV of this plan
> recommends physical upgrades and procedural changes for additional
> pollution prevention, control, and countermeasures.
>
> Table 2 summarizes the potential type of failure, potential spill
> volume, estimated rate, and direction of spill flow from the tanks.

**PART II - DESIGN COMPONENTS AND OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES\
FOR SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTROL**

This section discusses spill prevention and control measures that shall
be implemented at the facility.

**SPILL PREVENTION**This section describes design components and
operating procedures that shall be implemented at the facility to
prevent oil spills.

> **Bulk Storage Tanks and Facility Transfer Operations**[850-gallon
> AST]{.underline}: The steel tank construction is compatible with the
> diesel fuel stored in the tank. A float-type level gauge indicates the
> fuel level (from empty to full) in the AST. A 3-gallon-capacity
> conical spill container surrounds the fill spout. The AST is equipped
> with an audible high-level alarm and an audible leak detection alarm.
> The AST is located inside a concrete basin that has an approximate
> capacity of 770 gallons, which provides partial secondary containment.
>
> [Day Tank]{.underline}: The day tank is located within the WFO
> generator room. The steel tank construction is compatible with the
> diesel fuel stored in the tank. The day tank is equipped with a liquid
> level gauge to indicate the amount of fuel in the tank (from empty to
> full). Also, the day tank is equipped with an overflow basin.

[]{.mark}

> [Piping]{.underline}: The aboveground piping from the AST to the day
> tank pump is in a 4-inch PVC pipe sleeve to protect it from corrosion.
>
> [RDA Tanks]{.underline}: These tanks are located inside the RDA
> generator building that is designed to provide sufficient containment
> for potential spills from the tanks. The steel tank construction is
> compatible with the diesel fuel stored in the tanks. The RDA tanks are
> compatible with the diesel fuel stored within the tanks.
>
> **Tank Truck Unloading Operations**All delivery drivers shall have
> U.S. Department of Transportation hazardous material transportation
> training as required by Federal law.
>
> The remainder of this section discusses the procedures that shall be
> used during unloading of fuel from the tank truck into the tanks to
> prevent spills. This procedure shall be documented every time
> refueling occurs on the form found in Appendix B. Copies of this form
> shall be kept for 5 years.
>
> The following procedure shall be used [prior]{.underline} to fuel
> unloading:

1.  Move spill containment equipment, such as booms or spill barriers,
    into the unloading area.

2.  If applicable, ensure that the audible high-level alarm system and
    the automatic shutoff valve are functioning properly.

3.  Determine the available capacity (ullage) of the tank by converting
    the reading on the fuel gauge to gallons (see Appendix B). This
    ullage is communicated to the fuel supply contractor and marked in
    the fueling log.

4.  Block the tank truck wheels.

5.  Place drip pans under all pump hose fittings (if applicable) prior
    to unloading.

6.  Ensure the fill nozzle is placed in the appropriate tank
    appurtenance.

> Both the NWS representative and the delivery driver shall remain with
> the vehicle at all times during unloading. Gauges on the tank and the
> truck shall be continuously monitored to ensure the ullage is not
> exceeded. If an audible high-level alarm sounds, the unloading of fuel
> shall be stopped as soon as possible.
>
> After fuel unloading is completed:

7.  Record the amount of fuel transferred to the tank in the log
    (Appendix B).

8.  Drain the fill hose and then ensure that all drain valves are closed
    (if applicable) prior to removal of the hose from the tank.

9.  Pour any fuel in the drip pans, tank truck containment pool, or
    spill container on the fill pipe into the storage tank (if it has
    the capacity), or dispose of appropriately.

10. Inspect the tank truck prior to removing the blocks to ensure the
    lines have been disconnected from the tank.

11. Remove the blocks from the truck wheels. Prior to departure, closely
    inspect the lowermost drain and all outlets of the delivery truck
    and ensure they are tightened, adjusted, or replaced to prevent
    liquid discharge while in transit.

12. Place a copy of the fuel unloading checklist in the SPCC plan.

> **Inspections And Records**[Inspection and Maintenance of
> Tanks]{.underline}: The 850-gallon AST, day tank, and RDA tanks shall
> be inspected weekly for any oil outside the tanks, especially at seams
> (and including the tank underside). The concrete basin located beneath
> the 850-gallon AST shall be inspected for cracks. The outside of
> exposed piping shall be inspected weekly, especially at the joints
> such as gasket fittings. Monthly and annual inspections shall follow
> the checklists shown in Appendix C.
>
> [Integrity Testing of Tanks]{.underline}: Visual integrity testing
> shall be used to monitor the structural integrity of all tanks. This
> protocol provides environmental protection equivalent to that which
> would be provided by other types of non-destructive integrity testing
> because of the following.

13. The 850-gallon AST is a shop-built, single-walled steel tank
    equipped with a concrete containment basin for secondary containment
    and has a monitoring device continuously monitors the secondary
    containment for any leaks from the steel tank. Also, routine
    (weekly, monthly, and annual) visual inspections would detect any
    tank integrity issues because all sides of the tank are visible.

14. The day tank is a shop-built, single-walled steel tank equipped with
    an overflow basin for secondary containment and a monitoring device
    that would detect any leaks entering the basin. Also, routine
    (weekly, monthly, and annual) visual inspections would detect any
    tank integrity issues because all sides of the tank are visible.

15. The RDA tanks are shop-built, single walled tanks stored in a
    building constructed with "tub flooring" that provides secondary
    containment. Routine (weekly, monthly, and annual) visual
    inspections would detect any leaks or other problems with tank
    integrity because the tank is visible on all sides.

16. Facility personnel are regularly trained in pollution prevention
    practices and tank inspection requirements as set forth in this plan
    (Part III, Section 5 and Part IV, Recommended Improvements).

> Should any visual inspection indicate a problem with tank integrity
> (e.g., corrosion, cracking, leaking), the facility shall preferably
> replace the tank rather than conducting material repairs. If the
> facility instead chooses to conduct repairs, non-destructive integrity
> testing shall be conducted to verify that the repairs were completed
> properly.
>
> [Record Keeping]{.underline}: The Environmental Focal Point or a
> designated alternate is responsible for completing the ullage logs and
> documenting the fuel unloading procedures. These records, as well as
> records of all inspections and tank testing, shall be maintained for
> at least 5 years.
>
> **Site Security**Adequate lighting is provided for all tanks such that
> spills can be detected and vandalism deterred and there is electronic
> surveillance on the premises. Both the WFO and RDA generator buildings
> are kept locked. Signage around all of the tanks warns of the presence
> of a combustible liquid, that the combustible liquid is diesel fuel,
> and that smoking is not permitted near the tanks. A fire extinguisher
> is located in the adjacent generator enclosures. None of the tanks are
> located in the direct line of parking lot traffic. A security fence
> surrounds the RDA area.
>
> **Training**The Environmental Focal Point (person responsible for
> spill prevention at the facility), at least one alternate, and the
> Meteorologist in Charge shall be trained in the intent of the
> applicable oil spill regulations and how to implement the inspection
> and maintenance procedures outlined in the previous section. Spill
> control and countermeasures also shall be included in the training.
> The alternate shall be designated in case the primary person is off
> the site at the time of a spill. A recommended outline for the
> training is found in Appendix D.
>
> Training shall be repeated at least once per year. All new personnel
> responsible for implementing the SPCC plan shall be properly trained
> before beginning the new position. A record of who was trained, when,
> and by whom, shall be filed with this SPCC plan and kept for a period
> of 5 years. This requirement is found in Title 40 CFR 112.7(f).
>
> Spill prevention briefings for operating personnel shall be conducted
> at least once per year to ensure adequate understanding of the SPCC
> plan and to describe known spill events or failures, malfunctioning
> components, and recently developed precautionary measures. These
> briefings can be conducted concurrent with training sessions described
> above.

**SPILL CONTROL**This section describes control measures that shall be
implemented to prevent any spilled oil from entering navigable waters or
adjoining shorelines.

> **Secondary Containment Designs, Construction Material, and
> Volume**The 850-gallon WFO AST is a single-walled tank with a concrete
> secondary containment basin. The concrete basin beneath the AST
> currently is capable of containing approximately 770 gallons; Part IV
> of this plan recommends an increase in this capacity. The concrete
> basin is equipped with a monitoring device that continuously monitors
> the secondary containment for any leaks from the steel tank. The basin
> also has a valve that can be opened to drain the basin. The valve
> normally is closed; if it is necessary to drain precipitation
> accumulated in the concrete basin, the operator shall first verify
> that no oil, oily sheen, or other visible discoloration is present.
>
> The 35-gallon day tank is located inside the WFO building generator
> room that does not allow precipitation into the area and likely would
> provide adequate containment in the event of a spill. Also, the day
> tank is equipped with an overflow basin.
>
> Secondary containment for the two 250-gallon RDA tanks is provided for
> in the RDA generator building design. Adequate containment volume is
> provided in the building in the case of an instantaneous release. The
> RDA generator building is designed with a "tub flooring" with a raised
> door frame to prevent spills from flowing from the building.
>
> **Spill Kits Type and Location**The facility shall have spill kits
> designed to absorb diesel fuel and which can prevent discharged oil
> from reaching nearby water bodies. The facility currently maintains
> two spill kits that include oil absorbent socks, pads, and booms
> contained in a 85-gallon polyethylene containers that can be used as a
> disposal container. One kit is located outside the WFO generator
> building and another outside the RDA generator building. An additional
> spill kit contained in a 20-gallon plastic bucket is located inside
> the RDA generator building.

**PART III - SPILL COUNTERMEASURES AND REPORTING**

The primary emphasis of this SPCC plan is on prevention. The spill
countermeasures presented do [not]{.underline} constitute a contingency
plan detailed in Title 40 CFR Part 109, nor is one required. Such a plan
is only required under Title 40 CFR 112.7(d) if it is impracticable to
provide containment, diversionary structures, or equipment to prevent
the discharge of oil to navigable waters. In addition, this facility is
not required to have a facility response plan under Title 40 CFR Part
112.20 because it does [not]{.underline}:

17. Transfer oil over water from vessels and have a total oil storage
    capacity of greater than or equal to 42,000 gallons, or

18. Have a total storage capacity over 1 million gallons.

**SPILL COUNTERMEASURES**This section presents countermeasures to
contain, clean up, and mitigate the effects of an oil spill that impacts
navigable waters or adjacent shorelines.

A spill containment and cleanup activity will never take precedence over
the safety of personnel. No countermeasure activities will be undertaken
until conditions are safe for workers. The "SWIMS" procedures should be
implemented as countermeasures:

**S** - Stop the leak and eliminate ignition sources.

> a\. Attempt to seal or some how stop leak if it can be done safely.
>
> b\. Attempt to divert flow away from catch basins with a spill barrier
> or the contents of the spill kit.
>
> c\. Eliminate all ignition sources in the immediate area.

**W** - Warn others.

> a\. Yell out "SPILL." Inform the person in-charge at your facility.
>
> b\. Account for all personnel and ensure their safety.
>
> c\. Notify contacts and emergency response contractor as described in
> the following section for assistance in control and cleanup.
>
> **I** - Isolate the area.

a\. Rope off the area.

**M** - Minimize your exposure. Stay upwind.

**S** - Stand by to assist the emergency response contractor, if
necessary.

**SPILL REPORTING**This section discusses the reporting procedures for
spills of diesel fuel at the facility. The individuals and organizations
that are notified vary based on the quantity of the spill, whether it
reaches navigable waters or adjoining shorelines, and the frequency of
spills.

A spill report form that requests the information to be reported to all
agencies in written form (to the extent known) is included in Appendix
E. Copies of the completed form should be submitted, preferably by
e-mail, to the NWS and NOAA representatives listed below.

> **General Notification Procedures for All Spills**The responsible
> person or designee is directly charged with reporting
> [all]{.underline} oil spills that result from facility operations as
> follows:

1.  First, call 9-1-1 if there is an immediate emergency (if "9\" is
    required for connection to an outside line, then call 9-9-1-1)

2.  Next, notify the appropriate individuals within the NWS such that
    the individuals can keep internal records regarding the spill event.
    If necessary, the individuals can provide technical assistance
    regarding the procurement of cleanup contractors, the potential need
    for follow-up assessments, regulatory reporting, waste disposal, or
    other issues.

1.  Violates applicable water quality standards, or

2.  Causes a film or sheen upon or discoloration of the surface of the
    water or adjoining shorelines or causes a sludge or emulsion to be
    deposited beneath the surface of the water or upon adjoining
    shorelines.

If either of these criterion are met contact:

3.  The National Response Center (EPA and USCG): **(800) 424-8802**

> Under the SPCC regulations, spill information listed in Title 40 CFR
> Part 112.4(a) must be reported to the EPA Regional Administrator
> within 60 days if [either]{.underline} of the following occurs:

4.  A discharge of more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon navigable
    waters or adjoining shorelines in a single event, or

5.  A discharge of more than 42 gallons of oil during each of two spill
    events within any 12-month period.

> If one of the above has occurred, the information to be reported to
> the EPA Regional Administrator shall include the following items by

> Diesel fuel is not listed as a hazardous substance under the
> Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
> (CERCLA); therefore, no other notification to the EPA is required for
> discharges of diesel fuel other than those listed above.
>
> **3. State Notification**
>
> To satisfy the state reporting requirements, the location and quantity
> of any spill must be determined. Under the Texas Administrative Code
> Title 30, Part 1, Chapter 327 , a reportable quantity (RQ) is defined
> as follows:

15. If spilled on the surface of the land, any quantity of oil over 25
    gallons, or

16. If spilled into the waters of the state, any quantity that would be
    sufficient to create a sheen.

> If one or both of these criteria are met, contact:

17. State Emergency Response Center: **(800) 832-8224**

> **4. Cleanup Contractor Notification**
>
> An emergency response contractor should be notified to assist with the
> clean up, if necessary. Contact information for at least three
> contractors shall be maintained in this plan. NWS has identified the
> following contractors that are available for an emergency response:

18. Andersen & Associates Compliance Consultants, Inc.: **(806)
    353-2298**

19. Amarillo Hazmat Inc.: **(806) 372-2580**

20. Llano Permian Environmental: **(806) 467-0607**

**PART IV - RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS**

In accordance with Title 40 CFR Sections 112.7 and 112.8, this section
presents physical upgrades or procedural changes that are not yet fully
operational but are called for in the plan.

A.  PHYSICAL UPGRADES

**1. 850-Gallon AST** Secondary Containment

> The concrete secondary containment beneath the 850-gallon AST does not
> provide sufficient secondary containment. A containment capacity of
> 110 percent of the volume of the AST is required to account for spills
> of the entire tank volume capacity of the AST plus precipitation.
> Therefore, the required containment capacity is 935 gallons. The
> current volume of the secondary containment is calculated as follows:

Volume in Cubic Feet (ft^3^) = Length x Width x Height

= 9 feet x 7 feet x 1.5 feet = 94.5 ft^3^

Volume in Gallons = 94.5 ft^3^ x 7.48 gallons/ft^3^ = 707 gallons

> The containment capacity should be increased by raising the basin's
> concrete berm to a total height of 2 feet (the current height is 1.5
> feet as shown above). If the height of the concrete basin were 2 feet,
> the volume of secondary containment would be calculated as follows:
>
> Volume in ft^3^ = Length x Width x Height

= 9 feet x 7 feet x 2 feet

> = 126 ft^3^

Volume in Gallons = 126 ft^3^ x 7.48 gallons/ft^3^ = 943 gallons

> This upgrade should be implemented within 6 months of the date of this
> plan.

**2. 850-Gallon AST High-Level Alarm**

> The visual indicator bulb for the high-level alarm needs is not
> functional and should be repaired. This upgrade should be implemented
> within 6 months of the date of this plan.
>
> **3. 35-Gallon Day Tank**
>
> The 35-gallon day tank and overflow basin should be equipped with a
> float switch that will detect fuel that has spilled or leaked. The
> float switch should be connected to the audible alarm system and
> should trigger a mechanism to shut off the pump the generator in the
> event that fuel is detected. This upgrade should be implemented within
> 6 months of the date of this plan.

1.  **PROCEDURAL CHANGES Inspections and Preventative Maintenance**

> The inspection checklists found in Appendix C should be followed. This
> requirement is found in Title 40 CFR Part 112.7(e). The area within
> and around all tanks shall be inspected for signs of leaks regularly.
> Visual inspections of the outside of the storage tanks and the walls
> of the tanks should serve to signal a potential problem with their
> integrity. Should any visual inspection indicate a tank is leaking or
> has otherwise failed, and the facility instead chooses to conduct
> repairs, non-destructive integrity testing shall be conducted to
> verify that the repairs were completed properly.
>
> **Tank Integrity Testing**As discussed in Part II.A.3 of this plan,
> visual integrity testing shall be used to monitor the structural
> integrity of all tanks. The inspection checklists found in Appendix C
> should be followed. This requirement is found in Title 40 CFR Part
> 112.8(c)(6). Should any visual inspection indicate a tank is leaking
> or has otherwise failed, the facility shall preferably replace the
> tank rather than conducting material repairs. If the facility instead
> chooses to conduct repairs, non-destructive integrity testing shall be
> conducted to verify that the repairs were completed properly.
>
> **Training**The Environmental Focal Point (person responsible for
> spill prevention at the facility), at least one alternate, and the
> Meteorologist in Charge should be trained in the intent of the
> applicable oil spill regulations and how to implement the inspection
> and maintenance procedures outlined in the previous section. Spill
> control and countermeasures also should be included in the training.
> The alternate should be designated in case the primary person is off
> the site at the time of a spill. A recommended outline for the
> training is found in Appendix D.
>
> Training should be repeated at least once per year. All new personnel
> responsible for implementing the SPCC plan should be properly trained
> before beginning the new position. A record of who was trained, when,
> and by whom, should be filed with this SPCC plan and kept for a period
> of 5 years. This requirement is found in Title 40 CFR 112.7(f).
>
> Spill prevention briefings for operating personnel should be conducted
> at least once per year to ensure adequate understanding of the SPCC
> plan and to describe known spill events or failures, malfunctioning
> components, and recently developed precautionary measures. These
> briefings can be conducted concurrent with training sessions described
> above.

  [prior]{.underline}                                                               
  to fuel unloading:**                                                              

                        1          Move spill containment equipment, such as booms  
                                   or spill barriers, into the unloading area.      

                        2          If applicable, ensure the audible high-level     
                                   alarm system and automatic shutoff valve are     
                                   functioning properly.                            

                        3          Determine the available capacity (ullage) of the 
                                   tank by converting the reading on the fuel gauge 
                                   to gallons (see Appendix B, page B-1 in SPCC     
                                   plan). This ullage should then be marked in the  
                                   fueling log and communicated to the tank truck   
                                   unloading contractor.                            

                        4          Block the wheels of the tank truck.              

                        5          Place drip pans under all pump hose fittings (if 
                                   applicable) after the hose is hooked up to the   
                                   tank and prior to unloading.                     

                        6          Ensure the fill nozzle is placed in the          
                                   appropriate tank appurtenance.                   

  **During unloading**                                                              

                        7          Ensure that the NWS representative and the tank  
                                   truck operator remain with the vehicle at all    
                                   times during unloading.                          

                        8          Monitor the gauges on the tank and the truck     
                                   continuously to ensure the ullage is not         
                                   exceeded. If the audible high-level alarm        
                                   sounds, the unloading of fuel is stopped as soon 
                                   as possible.                                     

  **After fuel

                        9          Record the amount of fuel unloaded in the log    
                                   (Appendix B, page B-1).                          

                        10         Prior to removing the fill hose from the tank,   
                                   ensure that it is drained and that all drain     
                                   valves are closed (if applicable).               

                        11         Any fuel accumulated in the drip pans or spill   
                                   container on the fill pipe should be poured into 
                                   the tank (if it has the capacity) or disposed of 
                                   appropriately (describe how it was disposed of,  
                                   if applicable).                                  

                        12         Inspect the tank truck prior to removing the     
                                   blocks to ensure the lines have been             
                                   disconnected from the tank.                      

                        13         Prior to departure, closely inspect the          
                                   lowermost drain and all outlets of the delivery  
                                   truck and ensure they are tightened, adjusted,   
                                   or replaced to prevent liquid discharge while in 
                                   transit.                                         

                        14         Place a copy of this fuel-unloading checklist in 
                                   the SPCC plan.
