**MANAGEMENT APPROVAL**

This spill prevention, control, and countermeasure (SPCC) plan has been
carefully thought out, was prepared in accordance with good engineering
practices, and has the full approval of National Weather Service
management at a level with the authority to commit the necessary
resources for its implementation. In accordance with Title 40 of the
Code of Federal Regulations Subpart 112.5 (40 CFR 112.5), this SPCC plan
will be updated within 1 year of a change in facility design,
construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects the
facility's potential for discharge of oil to navigable waters or
adjoining shorelines. This plan will be implemented as described herein
and will be reviewed and evaluated at least every 3 years to include
more effective prevention and control technologies, if available. This
current plan replaces plans reviewed and/or revised every 3 years since
the facility began operations in 1992.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785501 .anchor}B. SCHEDULE FOR IMPLEMENTATION -
112.7

> The following physical changes will materially affect the facility\'s
> potential to discharge oil and will be made within six months of the
> Responsible Manager\'s signature per 40 CFR 112. **Within 6 months of
> the implementation of the following physical changes, the SPCC plan
> will be amended to reflect the changes, and a Professional Engineer
> will certify amendments in accordance with 40 CFR Part 112.5(c).**

1.  Several of the 90-degree elbows of the aboveground piping from the
    generator to the day tank are showing signs of corrosion and will be
    replaced and protected from corrosion.

> 2\. The corrosion protection on the south side of the tank has
> deteriorated. The tank will be protected from corrosion.
>
> In addition, various improvements will be made to enhance spill
> prevention practices at this facility. The following practices and
> procedures will be initiated:

3\. Diesel fuel oil unloading procedures describing actions to be taken
before and after unloading will be implemented, as described in section
H. The facility will acquire visual signs and storm water catchment
basin drain covers to satisfy tanker truck unloading rack regulatory
requirements.

> 4\. A formal inspection program for the aboveground storage tanks,
> associated piping, foundations, secondary containment systems, and
> unloading rack area will be implemented, as described in section F.
> Appendix A provides an inspection form to document inspection
> activities.
>
> 5\. A formal training program will be implemented, as described in
> section K. Appendix B provides a training program outline.
>
> 6\. As a good management practice, spill cleanup contractors will be
> researched and identified to assist with cleanup efforts in the event
> a spill occurs, and additional spill response supplies will be
> acquired, as described in section D.3.
>
> 7\. A 6-foot-high chain-link security fence surrounds the facility;
> however, the gate is missing on the front (north side) and makes the
> tank possibly susceptible to vandalism. NWS should work with the
> University security staff to resolve this issue to their mutual
> satisfaction. This is necessary to comply with 40 CFR 112.7(e)(9).

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785502 .anchor}C. SPILL HISTORY - 112.7(a)

> This facility has not had a reportable spill. Should this facility
> have a reportable oil spill greater than 1,000 gallons in a single
> spill event or two reportable spills within any 12-month period, this
> SPCC plan and a report as outlined in 40 CFR 112.4 will be submitted
> to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Regional Director and the
> State agency in charge of water pollution control activities within 60
> days of the incident(s).

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785503 .anchor}D. POTENTIAL SPILLS \--
PREDICTION AND CONTROL

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785504 .anchor}1. Facility Description

> The facility is located in the southern portion of metropolitan
> Raleigh, North Carolina, approximately 2 miles southwest of downtown
> Raleigh on the campus of North Carolina State University (Figure 1).
> Figure 2 shows the layout of the facility, including the location of
> the 1,000-gallon diesel fuel oil AST and adjacent generator shed. The
> generator shed houses an emergency backup power generator and a
> 100-gallon diesel fuel oil tank AST. This rectangular, above-ground
> tank acts as a day tank for the generator, supplying diesel fuel oil
> as necessary. A float pump in the day tank allows it to be refilled
> automatically through piping from the 1,000-gallon AST.
>
> The Red Star Oil Company, a local commercial supplier, periodically
> fills the 1,000-gallon diesel fuel oil AST. The estimated annual fuel
> usage is approximately 1,000 gallons per year. This estimate is based
> on testing the generator once per week for 1 hour. Fuel consumption
> would increase based on the frequency and duration of any power
> outages.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785505 .anchor}2. Prediction of Potential
Spills - 112.7(b)

> The 1,000-gallon AST is located on a concrete pad at the facility. The
> 100-gallon day tank is located inside the generator shed. Small spills
> or leaks breaching the tanks' secondary containment systems (described
> in paragraph D.3.) would flow in one of two directions due to the
> slope of the concrete. Fuel oil flowing to the south would flow over
> 150 feet of a parking lot into a storm drain which flows into Walnut
> Creek. As a result of the flat topography of the site, a small spill
> would most likely be contained before reaching the storm drain.
>
> A leak or spill flowing to the northeast of the tank would flow into a
> storm water drain about 15 feet from the 1,000-gallon AST; the drain
> leads to Walnut Creek.

A release from the day tank would flow in the same directions because of
its proximity to the AST.

> The most probable causes for spills from the 1,000-gallon AST are from
> overfilling or loss of structural integrity. The most probable cause
> for a spill from the 100-gallon day tank is malfunction of the supply
> pump. Table 1 summarizes the potential failure types, potential spill
> volumes, estimated rates, and direction of spill flow.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785506 .anchor}3. Spill Controls - 112.7(c)

> Appropriate containment and diversionary structures and equipment to
> prevent discharged oil from reaching navigable waters have been
> installed for the 1,000-gallon AST. The AST is a double-walled tank,
> encased in a welded, steel plated, rectangular tank with an additional
> 10 percent (100 gallons) capacity. A float-type level gauge visually
> indicates the fuel level. The secondary tank completely encloses the
> AST and has a "dip stick" to verify whether any liquids are present in
> the secondary containment. The secondary tank is bolted to its
> concrete foundation.
>
> The 100-gallon day tank is totally enclosed inside the generator shed,
> protected from the elements. Containment capable of containing 110
> percent of the volume of the day tank is in place, and a low
> level/high level shutoff is located on the pump.
>
> This facility has found it practicable to install equipment and/or
> structures to prevent discharged oil from reaching navigable waters
> per 40 CFR Part 112.7(c)(10(i); therefore, an oil spill contingency
> plan that follows 40 CFR 109 is [not]{.underline} required. In
> addition, as explained in section B.6, the facility intends to
> purchase and store spill response supplies (for example, 100 pounds of
> granular oil absorbent, oil absorbent pads, a broom, and a shovel) to
> contain and quickly remove small leaks or spills that occur. The North
> Carolina State University has a hazardous materials team would also
> respond to any spills.

**E. FACILITY DRAINAGE - 112.7(e)(1)**

> The secondary containment is fully enclosed around the tank so that
> there is no possibility for rainwater to enter. The secondary
> containment is inspected on a monthly basis to ensure that there are
> no leaks in the tank.
>
> Storm water in the areas surrounding the AST and generator flows to
> the adjacent property either via sheet flow or a storm water catchment
> basin. Good management practices to include inspections, personnel
> training, and readily available spill response supplies prevent oil
> from reaching navigable waters in the event of equipment failure or
> human error at the facility.

**F. BULK STORAGE TANKS - 112.7(e)(2)**

> Both tanks are constructed of steel and are compatible with the
> product stored. The interstitial space of the 1,000-gallon
> double-walled AST provides an additional 10 percent (110 gallons) of
> sufficiently impervious secondary containment. The floor of the
> generator shed will provide adequate secondary containment for the day
> tank.
>
> Both tanks and their foundations are visually integrity tested through
> **monthly** inspections for signs of deterioration and leaks that
> might cause a spill. Documented records of these inspections are kept
> on site for a period of 3 years. Copies of the inspection form are
> provided in Appendix A.
>
> There are no buried, partially buried, internally heated, mobile, or
> portable tanks on this facility.
>
> The 1,000-gallon AST is fail-safe engineered with a direct vision
> float-type gauge, indicating the fuel level in the tank. As backup,
> the AST is stick-inventoried before unloading, and operators
> continuously monitor unloading operations. Any leak from the tank is
> investigated to determine the cause of the leak and corrective actions
> are taken as appropriate.

> entire contents of the largest single compartment of the fuel oil
> delivery truck, **provided the storm water catchment basin
> downgradient is covered.**
>
> Visual signs will be acquired and posted, as explained in section B.3,
> to describe actions to be taken before and after unloading. Actions
> include satisfying DOT requirements, covering the storm water
> catchment basin before unloading product, and disconnecting the
> transfer lines and inspecting all drains and outlets on the tank truck
> for leakage before departure. **Monthly** inspections will include
> inspecting the rack area for cracks in the pavement.
>
> Note: This facility is not an oil production, oil drilling, or
> workover facility; therefore, 40 CFR Parts 112.7(e)(5), (6), and (7)
> do not apply.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785509 .anchor}I. INSPECTIONS AND RECORDS -
112.7(e)(8)

> precautionary measures. The person accountable for the facility spill
> prevention and for training personnel is identified in section A.
> Appendix B contains a training program outline.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785512 .anchor}L. SUBSTANTIAL HARM CRITERIA
EVALAUATION -- 112.20 (f)(1)

> This facility is not required to have a facility response plan under
> 40 CFR Part 112.20 since it does not:

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

-   Have a total storage capacity over 1 million gallons.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785513 .anchor}M. SPILL COUNTERMEASURES AND
REPORTING

> The primary emphasis of this SPCC plan is prevention. This section
> presents countermeasures to contain, clean up, and mitigate the
> effects of an oil spill that impacts navigable waters or adjacent
> shorelines. (This does not constitute a contingency plan under 40 CFR
> Part 109, nor is such a plan required for this facility.) Should a
> spill occur that impacts navigable waters or adjacent shorelines,
> however, the following measures will be implemented.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785514 .anchor}1. Spill Countermeasures

> 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 following
> general procedures should be implemented as countermeasures:
>
> a\. Account for all personnel, and ensure their safety.
>
> b\. Divert flow away from drainage channels, and cover storm drain
> with contents of spill kit.
>
> c\. Attempt to seal or stop leak.
>
> d\. Acquire necessary resources to contain and clean up all
> oil-contaminated areas.
>
> e\. Make all necessary notifications as described in the following
> text.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785515 .anchor}2. Spill Notification Procedures

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, and the frequency of spills.

A spill reporting form that requests the information to be reported to
all agencies in written form (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) Western Regional Compliance Officer
(see following section).

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785516 .anchor}a. 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:

-   First, call 515-3333 (area code 919) if there is an immediate
    emergency, to access University Public Safety.

-   Next, notify the appropriate persons within the NWS:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   **Mike Jacob, (301) 713-1838 Ext. 165, NWS Environmental Compliance
    Officer.**

-   **Olga Kebis, (301) 713-1838 Ext. 173, NWS Safety Officer**

-   **Frank Bain (817) 978-2367 Ext. 139, NWS Eastern Regional
    Environmental/ Safety Coordinator**

-   **Lynnette Ansell, (757) 441-6298, NOAA Eastern Regional Compliance
    Officer**

> The form in Appendix C should be used to document notifications made
> after a spill has been discovered.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785517 .anchor}b. Federal Notifications

The Federal Clean Water Act, as described in 40 CFR 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 discharges of oil in quantities that "may be harmful."
40 CFR Part 110.3 defines "may be harmful" as a discharge for which one
of the following applies:

-   Violates applicable water quality standards

-   Causes a film or sheen upon or discoloration of the surface of the
    water or adjoining shorelines or cause a 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:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   **The National Response Center (EPA and USCG):** **(800) 424-8802.**

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

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

-   Two spill events that cause visible sheens upon navigable waters or
    adjoining shorelines within any 12-month period

    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
    previously.

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785518 .anchor}c. State Notification

The North Carolina Division of Emergency Management require notification
if:

-   Any quantity is spilled to a surface water, or

-   Any spill to land exceeding 25 gallons.

    These spills must be reported to the North Carolina Department of
    Crime Control and Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management at
    **800-858-0368.**

[]{#__RefHeading___Toc501785519 .anchor}d. Cleanup Contractor
Notification

> An emergency response contractor should also be notified to assist
> with the cleanup, if necessary. Since the facility is located on the
