This Weather Forecast Office (WFO) facility is an onshore
(non-production) facility co-located with the National Hurricane Center
(NHC) on the campus of Florida International University. The WFO has a
remote Radar Data Acquisition (RDA) NEXRAD radar system located at 16801
SW 137 Avenue, Perrine, Florida 33177.

> **3. Date of Initial Operation**

The WFO and NHC were relocated to this new facility in early 1995. The
new installation included three emergency generators and associated fuel
systems. In March 1999, the RDA was installed that is equipped with its
own emergency generator and diesel fuel tanks.

**B. SITE DESCRIPTION AND OPERATIONS**

This section describes the site and its operations.

**1. Facility Location, Layout, and Operations**

> The Miami WFO/NHC facility is located in Miami, Florida on the campus
> of Florida International University. The property is owned by Florida
> International University. The facility is situated at the northeast
> corner of the intersection of SW 17^th^ Street and SW 117 Avenue.
> Figure 1 is a Topographical Vicinity Map showing the facility location
> and Figure 2 is the WFO/NHC Site Plan Map.

The facility has three separate emergency generators connected to a
single 10,000-gallon above-ground #2 diesel fuel storage tank (AST).
Each of the 300kW generators has a \~50 gallon day tank as an integral
part of the generator equipment.

The RDA facility is located approximately 12.5 miles southwest of the
Miami WFO in Perrine, Florida as shown on Figure 3, Topographical
Vicinity Map. The RDA facility Site Plan Map is shown on Figure 4. The
RDA facility has separate generator shelter building with a single
emergency generator connected to two ASTs, each having a capacity of
229.8 gallons.

The Miami WFO/NHC generators have an estimated fuel usage of
approximately 60 gallons per month. This estimate is based on
extrapolation from recent fuel orders. The generators are tested once
per week for 60-minutes. Per an agreement with Florida Power & Light
Company (FPL), FPL can remotely start the generators during power
service brownout conditions or in advance of potential power outages
during severe weather conditions. FPL has exercised this option twice
during the 2004 calendar year. Obviously, fuel consumption would
increase based on the duration of any power outages.

> The Miami WFO/NHC AST is not situated within a separate fenced-in
> area. The entire Miami WFO/NHC facility is fenced and manned 24-hours
> a day, 365 days a year. There are security cameras strategically
> placed around the facility. All buildings are kept locked. The
> exterior of the entire facility is lighted at night.
>
> The RDA and associated buildings are situated within a fenced compound
> with locked controlled access.

2.  **[Facility Fuel Storage]{.mark}**

[]{.mark}

> The WFO/NHC generators are located in the separate DDG building
> (approximately 760 square feet) just to the north of the northwest
> corner of the WFO/NHC building. The 10,000-gallon AST is situated
> adjacent to the east side of the DDG building. The AST is rectangular
> steel tank encased in a 6-inch concrete vault, which is then covered
> by a 3/16-inch outer steel tank. Figure 5 is the Generator Building
> Plan for the Miami WFO/NHC emergency generators and fuel tank. The
> AST's fill port is located on the top of the tank and is situated in
> an overfill well below the grade of the top of the tank. The well has
> a capacity of approximately 13 gallons. Piping from the AST leads into
> the generator building and into the day tank. The day tank has a
> capacity of 50 gallons (calculated) and feeds directly to the
> generator. The day tank is located directly below the generator. The
> tank is connected to the generator with 1in. (outside diameter) black
> steel pipe. All of the joints are threaded. The piping is
> single-walled; however, the pipe outside the building that leads from
> the AST to the building is sheathed in a PVC pipe for added
> protection. Flexible hosing connects the steel pipe from the floor of
> the space to the engine as a safeguard against rupture from vibration
> when the generator is running.

The AST has a high level audible overfill alarm at the tank. The AST
also has an audible alarm in the event of interstitial leakage
(secondary containment) around the tank.

> The RDA generator and fuel tanks are located in a pre-fabricated
> generator shelter building. The generator is located in the center of
> the 130-ft² building. The twin 229.8-gallon diesel tanks are
> rectangular in shape and mounted next to the west wall of the
> building. They are constructed of steel and are single-walled. The
> fueling port is located outside the west wall of the building. The
> building is designed to be the secondary containment for this system.
> The watertight containment measures 9 in. from the floor to the door
> sill. The secondary containment for the building is calculated to be
> in excess of 700 gallons.
>
> The RDA ASTs are connected to each other via two lateral pipes (one
> high, one low), which allows for diesel fuel to move from one tank to
> the other. The tanks are connected to the generator with ½ in. black
> steel pipe and all joints are threaded. Flexible hosing connects the
> steel pipe to the engine, again, for protection against vibration. The
> ASTs are not fitted with any audible alarm systems.
>
> Table 1. in Section 7 summarizes the diesel storage capacities at the
> Miami WFO/NHC.

**[3. Drainage Pathway and Distance to Navigable Waters]{.mark}**

[]{.mark}

[The topography of the Miami WFO/NHC facility is relatively flat. The
paved areas adjacent to the eastern side of the facility are contoured
to control storm water drainage. Storm water catch basins are situated
in the eastern paved parking areas, which direct storm water to the west
side of the facility property that is a dry storm water retention area.
Within the dry storm water retention area is a T-shaped exfiltration
trench, which provides a direct pathway to the underlying groundwater
table. The exfiltration trench inlets are approximately one-half foot
higher than the bottom of the dry storm water retention area. Figure 6
presents the Miami WFO/NHC Site Drainage Plan showing the location of
utilities at the site including the storm water drainage system.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[A large spill kit equipped with]{.mark} an absorbent boom, [pads and
pillows, and drain seals, is located inside of the DDG building. Extra
absorbent pads are also stored with the spill kit.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[A diesel fuel spill from the 10,000-gallon AST would flow eastward
towards the paved parking areas and then north towards a storm water
catch basin, which would be the primary point of spill containment.
Absorbent materials at the storm water catch basin and along the spill
flow path would prevent fuel impacts from entering the dry storm water
retention area.]{.mark} If diesel fuel from a spill was able to flow
into the dry storm water retention area, the bottom of the area consists
of native sandy soil. Diesel fuel, being a light fuel, will easily
penetrate the sandy soil down to the groundwater table, which can be
encountered at a depth of approximately 4 feet below the existing ground
surface. However, due the local flat groundwater gradient, diesel fuel
will not travel far from the discharge point of the spill. A spill of
more than 10,000-gallons would have to occur before diesel fuel in the
dry storm water retention area would have the potential to overflow into
the nearby surface waters. Cleanup options for any significant spill
that discharged into the dry storm water retention area would most
likely be to remove the diesel fuel impacted soil and groundwater and
then replace the soil with clean soil. [The trucks that typically supply
fuel to the Miami WFO/NHC typically have a 1,600-gallon capacity and are
constructed with 3 or 4 separate compartments. In most cases the trucks
utilize automatic shutoff nozzles (similar to the types used at gas
stations) to prevent overfilling.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[Any diesel fuel spilled in the DDG building that exceeds the secondary
containment of generator day tanks would spill onto the floor of the
space and then out the doorway, which faces south. A large volume diesel
fuel spill within DDG appears to be unlikely since the automatic leak
detection system would shut down the fuel system.]{.mark}

> []{.mark}
>
> [The topography around the RDA facility is nearly flat and most of the
> area is covered with gravel. The gravel areas are slightly higher in
> elevation than the surrounding areas, which consist of undeveloped
> areas of native sandy soil. Diesel fuel, being a light fuel, will
> easily penetrate the gravel and sandy soil down to the groundwater
> table, which can be encountered at a depth of approximately 4 feet
> below the existing ground surface. However, due the local flat
> groundwater gradient, diesel fuel will not travel far from the site of
> the spill, nor will it have the potential to impact any surface
> waters. There is basically no surface water in the immediate vicinity
> of the facility. Cleanup options for any significant spill that was
> not contained at this site would most likely be to remove the
> contaminated sediment and replace.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

**4. Spill History**

Reportable Spill events from 1994 to present (date on cover of this
plan):

**None**.

**5. Spill Potential, Volumes, and Rates**

> The most likely cause of spills from the ASTs are from overfilling or
> a ruptured hose during refueling, a failure of one of the compartments
> of the fuel truck, failure of the structural integrity of the AST, or
> a ruptured fuel line.
>
> If conducted according to plan and with good management practices,
> large spills from fueling operations are not likely.
>
> For the WFO/NHC AST, a large spill caused by loss of tank structural
> integrity or vehicle collisions are low probability events owing to
> alarm systems, weekly testing of the generators and daily observations
> by NWS personnel.

Table 2 summarizes the potential type of spills, volumes and rates.

**[6. Discussion of Facility Conformance with 40 CFR 112]{.mark}**

[]{.mark}

> [Every effort has been made, by the NWS, to assure that this facility
> fully conforms to the applicable provisions of 40 CFR 112. The
> following is a brief summary of the applicable characteristics of the
> facility:]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

> [a. The facility is manned 24-hours a day, 365 days a year. The
> generators are tested weekly and on a daily basis NWS personnel are
> working near and around both generator systems decreasing the
> likelihood of a large]{.mark} [spill incident. The facility is located
> on the campus of Florida International University, where rapid
> response is available in the event of a fuel spill.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

> [b. The WFO/NHC AST has an overfill alarm as well as an interstitial
> alarm. The diesel fuel day tanks for the main generators are contained
> in an overfill catch basin. The ASTs for the RDA generator are in a
> building, which has been designed to provide ample secondary
> containment.]{.mark}

**PART II - DESIGN COMPONENTS AND OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES FOR SPILL**

**PREVENTION AND CONTROL**

This section discusses spill prevention and control measures that have
been or will be implemented at the facility to prevent oil spills.

**A. TANK AND SYSTEM DESIGN FOR SPILL PREVENTION**

This section describes the design components and operating procedures
that have been or will be implemented at the facility to prevent oil
spills. The facility will review the design and operational procedures
contained in this section and implement those that are not currently in
place.

**1. [Aboveground Storage Tanks (AST)]{.mark}**

[]{.mark}

> [[WFO/NHC AST]{.underline}: The AST construction will be compatible
> with the #2 diesel fuel held by the tank. The AST shall have secondary
> containment around the primary tank shell. A level gauge or dip-stick
> shall indicate the fuel level (from empty to full).]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

[An automatic shut-off valve on the fill spout will be set to close at
90 percent of capacity (9,000 gallons). The AST also shall have an
audible high-level alarm set at 85 percent of capacity (8,500 gallons)
and interstitial monitoring device between the primary and secondary
tanks that is connected to the audible alarm system. A 13-gallon
capacity spill container shall surround the fill spout.]{.mark}

[]{.mark}

> [[Day Tank]{.underline}:]{.mark} This tank shall have an open top
> spill pan (rupture basin) designed to hold 110 percent of the tank
> volume. [It shall have a liquid level gauge to indicate the amount of
> fuel in the tank (empty to full) and a high-level float switch
> connected to the audible alarm to warn of overfilling. The rupture
> basin shall have a float switch designed to detect fuel that has
> spilled or leaked. The float switch will be connected to an audible
> alarm system in the office.]{.mark}
>
> [Piping:]{.underline} An anti siphoning valve will be located between
> the AST and the pump to prevent unwanted fuel from being siphoned from
> the AST.

**2. Tank Refueling and 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 will be
> used during unloading of fuel from the tank truck into the AST to
> prevent spills. This procedure will be documented every time refueling
> occurs using the form (See Appendix A). Copies of this form will be
> kept for 5-years.

a\. The following procedure will be used **[before]{.underline}** fuel
delivery and unloading: (See Appendix A-2)

i\. If applicable, place a magnetic or urethane spill cover over the
storm drain catch basin inlet.

> ii\. The Designated Person or his designated representative should
> determine the available capacity (ullage) of the AST by converting the
> reading on the fuel gauge to gallons (See Appendix A). This ullage is
> communicated to the fuel supply contractor and marked in the fueling
> log.

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

iv\. Block the tank truck wheels.

iv. Place drip pans under all pump hose fittings (if applicable) before
    unloading.

vi\. The Designated Person or his designated representative and the
delivery driver shall ensure the fill nozzle is placed in the
appropriate AST filling port.

b\. The following procedure will be used **[during]{.underline}** the
fuel unloading period:

(Appendix A-2)

> i\. The Designated Person or his/her designated representative and the
> delivery driver shall remain with or near the vehicle and the fuel
> tanks at all times during unloading. Gauges on the AST and the truck,
> as well as the fueling nozzle, will be continuously monitored to
> ensure the ullage is not exceeded. If the audible high-level alarm
> sounds, stop the unloading procedure immediately to ensure fuel ullage
> is not exceeded.

c\. The following procedure will be used **[after]{.underline}** fuel
unloading is completed:

(Appendix A-2)

i\. Record the amount of fuel transferred to the AST in the log
(Appendix A-1).

> ii\. Drain the fill hose and then ensure that all drain valves are
> closed (if applicable) before removal of the hose from the tank.
>
> iii\. Pour any uncontaminated fuel in the drip pans, tank truck
> containment pool, or spill pipe spill bucket container into the AST
> (if it has the capacity) or dispose of appropriately.
>
> iv\. Inspect the tank truck before removing the blocks to ensure the
> lines have been disconnected from the tank.

v\. Remove the blocks from truck wheels.

vi\. Place a copy of the completed fuel-unloading checklist in the SPCC.

3.  **Inspections and Records**

> [Inspection and Maintenance of Tanks:]{.underline} The AST and day
> tank will be inspected, each time a maintenance technician visits the
> site, as well as the regularly scheduled monthly inspections, for any
> fuel leaks, especially at seams (including the tank underside). The
> outside of exposed piping shall also be inspected. Monthly and annual
> inspections shall follow the checklists shown in Appendix B-1 and B-2.
> Monthly and annual inspection forms will be completed by staff.
>
> [Integrity Testing:]{.underline} Integrity testing of the ASTs is
> required under the new regulations put forth by the EPA. However
> manufacturers of shop-built tanks have stated that integrity testing
> of their tanks is not necessary and that best management practices
> should be employed instead. The EPA has stated, " *for* *certain
> smaller, shop-built containers in which internal corrosion poses
> minimal risk of failure; which are inspected at least monthly; and,
> for which all sides are visible (i.e., the container has no contact
> with the ground), visual inspection alone might suffice, subject to
> good engineering practice."*
>
> To comply with §112.8.c.6, the WFO/NHC will continue to make
> inspections during generator tests, conduct regular monthly and annual
> inspections and recommend integrity testing only when it is warranted,
> e.g. noticeable leakage or corrosion. Testing will also be conducted

> Inspections (iii) the Training Record, and (iv) the Spill Response
> Record. These records will be maintained for at least 5-years from the
> time of the recorded action.

**4. Site Security**

The WFO/NHC AST is not enclosed in fenced area; however the facility is
manned 24-hours a day, 365 days a year and there are security cameras
strategically placed around the facility. All buildings are kept locked
and the exterior of the entire facility is lighted at night. The RDA and
associated buildings are in a fenced compound, which is also kept
locked.

> Signs are posted on and around the ASTs warning of the presence of a
> combustible liquid, the combustible liquid is diesel fuel, and that
> smoking is prohibited near the AST. Fire extinguishers are located in
> the generator buildings. There is no vehicular traffic near the ASTs.

**5. Training**

As a minimum, the Environmental/Safety Focal Point, an alternate, and
the responsible manager (MIC, HIC, or OIC) will be trained in the intent
of applicable oil spill regulations and how to implement the inspection
and maintenance procedures outlined in the previous paragraph. Spill
control and countermeasure shall also be included in the training. An
outline for the training is found in Appendix C.

> Training is repeated once per year. All new personnel responsible for
> implementing this SPCC plan are properly trained before beginning work
> at the new position. A record of who is trained when, and by whom,
> (Appendix C) will be filed with this SPCC plan and kept for a period
> of 5 years.

**B. SPILL CONTROL**

This section describes control measures that have been implemented to
prevent any spilled oil from entering navigable waters or adjoining
shorelines.

**1. Secondary Containment Designs, Construction Material, and Volume**

> The secondary containment tank on the Vault-Type AST will be sized to
> contain 110 percent of the tank volume. An interstitial monitoring
> system that can detect fuel of 1-inch or more in the secondary shell
> of the AST will be included in the tank design.
>
> The secondary containment for the steel day tank is a steel catch
> basin mounted under the day tank. The catch basin contains a liquid
> level monitor and alarm.
>
> The secondary containment for the RDA ASTs is the pre-fabricated
> housing itself and provides for approximately 150 percent of the
> volume of the storage tanks.

**2. Spill Kits Type and Location**

A Pig 202 spill kit or equivalent will be located in the generator room
or in the Generator Building near the respective ASTs. The spill kits
are designed to absorb up to 60-gallons each of diesel fuel and to
divert a spill from navigable waters. The kits include oil absorbent
socks and mats in a polyethylene container that doubles as a disposal
container

**3. Drain Inlet Cover**

> If applicable, magnetic or urethane spill covers will be placed over
> the storm drain catch basin inlet prior to any fuel transfer.

4.  **Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)**

> If a leak or spill were to occur, it might be necessary for NWS
> personnel to conduct initial emergency procedures to minimize the
> impact of the spill, control the spill, or secure the area. In order
> for them to employ the SWIMS procedure (see Part III.A of this plan)
> it may be necessary for them to come into contact with the diesel
> fuel. If this were to occur, NWS personnel must use proper PPE. Proper
> PPE for diesel fuel is specified in the MSDS (Appendix F).

-   Eye protection is accomplished by the use of **Chemical Goggles** or
    a **Full Face Shield**. A portable **Eyewash Station** is situated
    within the DDG.

-   Hand protection is accomplished by the use of **Nitril Gloves** and
    should be worn at all times when handling this material. If there is
    a likelihood of skin exposure then impervious clothing such as
    **Tyvex** should be worn.

-   Other clothing & equipment - if contaminated, must be removed and
    laundered before reuse. Items which cannot be laundered should be
    discarded.

**PART III - SPILL COUNTERMEASURES AND REPORTING SPILL**

**COUNTERMEASURES**

**A. Spill Countermeasures**

This section presents countermeasures to contain, clean up, and mitigate
the effects of any oil spills at this site.

**1. SWIMS**

> A spill containment and cleanup activity will never take precedence
> over the safety of personnel. No countermeasures will be undertaken
> until conditions are safe for workers. The [SWIMS]{.underline}
> procedure 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 any drainage ditch, storm sewer
> or sanitary sewer with a spill barrier or the contents of spill kit.
> The spill kit is located in the Generator Building.
>
> 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 to the spilled material by use of
> appropriate clothing and protective equipment. If possible, remain
> upwind of the spilled material.

**S** - Standby to assist the emergency response contractor.

**B. SPILL REPORTING**

This section discusses the reporting procedures for spills of diesel
fuel at the facility. The people and organizations that are notified
vary, based on the quantity of the spill, whether it reaches navigable
waters or adjoining shorelines, the frequency and history of spills and
the potential impacts which the spill may have on people, property or
the environment.

A spill report form that requests the information to be reported to all
agencies in writing (to the extent known) is included in Appendix D.
Copies of the completed form should be sent to the NWS Environmental
Compliance Officer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) Mountain Regional Compliance Officer (see next
section).

1.  **General Notification Procedures for All Spills**

-   First, call 911 (or the local emergency agency) if there is an
    immediate emergency.

-   Next, notify the appropriate persons within the NWS & NOAA:

    -   **Terry Brisbin, Env/Safety Coord. 817-978-2644 x139**

    -   **Mark George, RECO for the Mountain Region 303-497-3064**

    -   **Mike Jacob, NWS Env. Compl. Officer 301-713-1838 x165**

    -   **Olga Kebis, NWS Safety Officer 301-713-1838 x173**

**2. Federal Notifications**

> The Federal Clean Water Act as described in 40 Part 110.6, requires
> notifying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National
> Response Center (or the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) as soon as anyone has
> knowledge of any discharge of oil in quantities that "may be harmful,"
> 40 CFR 110.3 defines "may be harmful" as a discharge if either of the
> following applies:

-   Violates applicable water quality standards.

## Or

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

If either of these criteria is met, contact the following:

-   **The National Response Center** **800-424-8802**

-   **USEPA Emergency Response & Removal Branch 404-562-8700**

> Additionally, under the SPCC regulations under 40 CFR 112.4(a), if
> either of the two spill criteria (listed below) occurs, a report must
> be submitted to the EPA Regional Administrator within 60-days:

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

-   Two spill events that cause discharge of more than 42 gallons in
    each event, within any 12 month period.

> Please refer to 40 CRR 112.4(a) for instructions on the required
> contents of the report and proper reporting procedures.
>

**PART IV - RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS**

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

**A. PHYSICAL UPGRADES**

The ASTs, piping system, alarm system, and spill response equipment
satisfy all current Federal and State of Florida requirements and are in
good operating condition. However, the following changes and upgrades
are recommended:

-   Provide secondary containment for the refueling truck when
    practicable. Until that time, employ best management practices (see
    below). There are a number of secondary containment options
    available to the agency. There are several types of temporary
    drive-on berm systems commercially available. Another simple option
    might include installing asphalt berms at the fueling site with
    properly engineered, and controllable, drainage systems. Obviously,
    any engineered system would require the approval of a licensed
    engineer.

> *Note: Currently industry has requested that EPA redefine the term
> 'loading/unloading rack' (§112.7 (h)). It is possible that a change in
> this definition could exempt a facility from providing secondary
> containment for fuel trucks during fuel delivery for on-site
> consumption.*

-   Have the float switch for the WFO/NHC AST tested regularly. Repair
    if necessary.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Install secure fencing around WFO/NHC AST when practicable. Until
    such time, continue to employ good security practices such as
    maintain lighting and security cameras.

-   The day tank catch basin did not have a level indicator nor an
    alarm. In accordance with 40CFR §112.8(c).8 installing such a system
    for the day tank and/or the catch basin is recommended.

-   It is not clear as to the purpose of the PVC sheathing on the black
    pipe leading from the WFO AST into the generator building. The PVC
    sheathing is problematic in that it does not allow for routine
    inspections, and more than likely provides an environment around the
    black pipe that promotes corrosion. If the sheathing was meant as
    secondary containment, then it should be removed and a more
    appropriate form of secondary containment installed, such as a lined
    catch basin. If the sheathing was meant as a form of physical
    protection, then the solid PVC piping should exchanged for a
    sheathing that provides physical protection and allows for visual
    inspection and drainage to reduce the risk of corrosion (e.g. PVC
    drainage piping).

**B. PROCEDURAL CHANGES**

The following procedures and/or procedural changes are recommended:

-   Owing to the lack of secondary containment for the fuel truck it is
    strongly recommended that proper procedures be diligently followed
    during refueling operations as prescribed in Part II, A, 2 and
    Appendix A of this plan.

-   Perform all inspections as outlined in Part II, A, 3 and Appendix B
    of this plan.

-   Maintain an annual training program for all relevant personnel and
    when new personnel report to the facility as prescribed in Part II,
    A, 5 and Appendix C of this plan.

-   Conduct spill exercises annually as prescribed in Part II, A, 5 and
    Appendix D of this plan.

**1.** **Inspections and Preventative Maintenance**

The inspection checklists found in Appendix B should be followed. The
interstitial monitoring device in the AST is designed to monitor the
integrity of the primary tank. Visual inspections of the outside of the
secondary wall of the AST and the primary wall of the day tank will
serve to signal a potential problem with the tank integrity.

                 1          Ensure the audible high-level alarm system and   
                            automatic shutoff valve are functioning          
                            properly.                                        

                 2          Determine the available capacity (ullage) of the 
                            above ground storage tanks (AST) by converting   
                            the reading on the fuel gauge to gallons (See    
                            Appendix A, Page A-1). This ullage should then   
                            be marked in the fueling log and communicated to 
                            the tank truck unloading contractor.             

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

                 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   
                            AST and before unloading.                        

                 6          Ensure the fill nozzle is in place in the        
                            appropriate AST appurtenance. In this case, the  
                            fill nozzle is placed in the fill pipe connected 
                            to the round spill container.                    

  **The                                                                      
  following two

                 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 AST and the truck      
                            continuously to ensure the ullage is not         
                            exceeded. If the audible high-level alarm        
                            sounds, stop the unloading of fuel immediately.

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

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

                 11         Pour any fuel in the drip pans, tank truck       
                            containment pool, or spill container on the fill 
                            pipe into the AST (if it has the capacity) or    
                            dispose of appropriately (describe how it was    
                            disposed of, if applicable).                     

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

                 13         Remove the blocks from the tank truck wheels.    

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