**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:

> Such technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill
> event, and
>
> 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 Old Hickory, Wilson County, Tennessee, approximately 8 miles east
> of the city of Nashville, Tennessee (Figure 1). Figure 2 shows the
> layout of the facility, including the location of a 1,000-gallon
> aboveground storage tank (AST), a 25-gallon day tank, and two
> 250-gallon Radar Data Acquisition (RDA) tanks.
>
> The 1,000-gallon AST and 25-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 located in the WFO generator
> building that is adjacent to the WFO building. The generator and day
> tank are not exposed to precipitation. The 1,000-gallon AST is located
> east of the WFO building outside 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 100 feet east of the WFO generator 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 30 to 40 gallons per month.
> Fuel is typically used from running an automatic test of the
> generators once per week for 30 minutes. Fuel consumption would
> increase depending on the frequency and duration of any power outages.
>
> **Facility Storage**The 1,000-gallon AST is a welded steel plate tank
> enclosed inside a concrete outer shell that provides sufficiently
> impervious containment and protects the AST and the secondary
> containment area from exposure to precipitation. The 1,000-gallon AST
> has a 2-inch-diameter vent and a 6-inch-diameter emergency vent. The
> 1,000-gallon AST is connected to a pump on top of the 25-gallon day
> tank via a double-walled line that travels through the wall of the WFO
> generator building. This pump moves fuel from the 1,000-gallon AST
> into the day tank on demand as the generator is engaged. The 25-gallon
> day tank is a single-walled rectangular steel tank that is equipped
> with an overflow basin. The day tank is connected to the generator by
> rubber supply and return lines.
>
> 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,
> such as notifications to the Local Emergency Planning Committee or
> tank testing documentation, is included in Appendix A.
>
> **Drainage Pathway and Distance to Navigable Waters**Drainage in the
> area of the 1,000-gallon AST or RDA tanks travels north and west
> across grassy surfaces to a steep vegetated slope and swales that lead
> to Langford Cove approximately 0.25 mile from the site. Langford Cove
> is part of the Cumberland River.
>
> **Spill History**[Reportable spill events from April 1994 to present
> (date on cover of this plan)]{.underline}:
>
> None.
>
> **Spill Potential, Volumes, and Rates**The potential causes of spills
> from the tanks are from overfilling, a ruptured hose during fuel
> unloading, failure of the 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. 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 or pumps 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. Further, the 1,000 gallon AST further
> protected by concrete guard posts, and the two RDA tanks and day tank
> are located within locked buildings. Vandalism is generally deterred
> because the facility is manned 24 hours per day. Also, the two RDA
> tanks are located inside a building that is designed to contain spills
> and the day tank is located inside the WFO generator building that
> likely would contain a spill. Finally, 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.
>
> 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**[1,000-gallon
> AST]{.underline}: The tank construction is compatible with the number
> 2 diesel fuel stored in the tank. A concrete outer shell completely
> encloses the AST and provides sufficient secondary containment. A
> float-type level gauge indicates the fuel level (from empty to full)
> in the AST. A 5-gallon-capacity square spill container surrounds the
> fill spout and contains a 2-inch emergency return line to the AST. The
> AST is equipped with an audible high-level alarm (API/RONAN) set at 85
> percent of the tank capacity (850 gallons) and an automatic shut-off
> valve on the cam-lock fitting fill spout set to close at 90 percent of
> the tank capacity (900 gallons). An interstitial monitoring device
> between the primary steel tank and concrete outer shell (secondary
> containment) is connected to the audible alarm system.
>
> [Day Tank]{.underline}: The day tank is located within the WFO
> generator building and is not exposed to precipitation. 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. The overflow basin is equipped with a float switch
> that sounds an audible alarm if fuel is detected. If fuel reaches a
> certain level in the overflow basin, the switch will shut off the pump
> that directs fuel to the day tank.

[]{.mark}

> [Piping]{.underline}: An antisiphoning valve is located between the
> 1,000-gallon AST and the pump to prevent unwanted fuel from being
> siphoned from the AST. The aboveground piping from the AST to the day
> tank pump is in a polyvinyl chloride 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 RDA tanks are compatible with
> the number 2 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.  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 1,000-gallon AST, day tank, and RDA tanks
> shall be inspected weekly for any oil outside the tanks, especially at
> seams (including the underside). The concrete outer shell of the
> 1,000-gallon AST shall be inspected for excess 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 as
> described above as well as interstitial monitoring (for double-walled
> tanks) 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 1,000-gallon AST is a shop-built, single-walled steel tank
    equipped with a concrete outer shell for secondary containment. An
    interstitial monitoring device between the steel tank and concrete
    outer shell continuously monitors the secondary containment for any
    leaks from the primary 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. A monitoring device in
    the overflow would sound an audible alarm and shut off the pump to
    the day tank if fuel were detected. 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 from the tank since the tank is
    visible on its top and sides. Also, the outsides of the tank bottoms
    are partially visible and any leak from beneath the tank would be
    detected within the secondary containment (on the "tub flooring").

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, shall be maintained for at least 5 years
> from the time of inspection.
>
> **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 the WFO 1,000-gallon AST 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 entire NWS property.
>
> **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 applicable
> oil spill regulations and how to implement the inspection and
> maintenance procedures outlined above. 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 retained for at
> least 5 years.
>
> 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 wit the 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 concrete secondary containment tank around the
> 1,000-gallon AST completely encloses the AST and does not allow
> precipitation into the containment. The system is equipped with a
> monitoring system that can detect fuel in the interstitial space of
> the primary tank and concrete outer shell and can detect fuel of 1
> inch or more in the interstitial space of the storage tank. A 5-gallon
> square spill container surrounds the fill spout and contains a 2-inch
> emergency return line to the AST.
>
> The generator 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. The overflow basin is
> equipped with a float switch that sounds an audible alarm if fuel is
> detected. If fuel reaches a certain level in the overflow basin, the
> float switch will shut off the pump.
>
> Secondary containment for the two 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 kits designed
> to absorb diesel fuel and which can prevent discharged oil from
> reaching nearby water bodies or storm sewers. The WFO generator
> building currently has one kit that include oil absorbent socks, pads,
> and booms in a 85-gallon polyethylene container that can be used as a
> disposal containers. The RDA generator building includes a similar
> spill kit with a 30-gallon container.

**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.

> 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
> submitting a copy of this SPCC Plan and a completed copy of the spill
> report form in Appendix E.

6.  Facility name

7.  Name of the person reporting the incident

8.  Facility location

9.  Maximum storage or handling capacity of the facility

10. Corrective action and countermeasures taken including a description
    of equipment repairs and replacements

11. Adequate description of the facility including maps, flow diagrams,
    and topographical maps, as necessary

12. Cause of the discharge

13. Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize
    recurrence

14. Other information that the Regional Administrator may deem pertinent

> 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. The Tennessee Department of
> Conservation and Environment (TDEC) states that the reportable
> quantity (RQ) for the discharge of oil into or upon navigable waters
> is an amount that causes a visible film or sheen upon the surface of
> the water. The RQ for the release of oil into the environment,
> excluding navigable waters, is an amount of 25 gallons or more.
>
> TDEC also states that any person who, without regard to intent or
> negligence, causes or permits any oil to be discharged in or on the
> marine waters of the state shall immediately contain, cleanup, and
> remove the oil in the most effective manner which minimizes
> environmental damage and in accordance with the applicable contingency
> plans, unless ordered otherwise by the Coast Guard or the
> administrator.
>
> TDEC requires verbal notification to the local fire department and the
> TDEC Environmental Assistance Center emergency response hotline within
> 24 hours of knowledge of the release, unless notification within that
> time frame is impractical because of unforeseen circumstances. If the
> above criteria are met, the TDEC Spill Notification Hotline shall be
> notified at the following number:

TDEC Spill Hotline (24 hours): **(888) 891-8332**

> **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:

15. First Response: **(615) 868-9110**

16. Philip Environmental Services: **(800) 567-7455**

17. Safety Kleen: **(615) 333-1496**

**PART IV - RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS**

In accordance with Title 40 CFR Section 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

    1.  Signage/Postings

> Signage around the two RDA tanks should warn of the presence of a
> combustible liquid, that the combustible liquid is diesel fuel number
> 2, and that smoking is not permitted near the tanks.
>
> **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          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

  completed**                                                                       

                        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         Remove the blocks from tank 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.    

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