**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 Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, adjacent to the Slidell,
> Louisiana Airport, and approximately 30 miles northeast of New Orleans
> (Figure 1). Figure 2 shows the layout of the facility, including the
> location of the 2,000-gallon aboveground storage tank (AST), 25-gallon
> day tank, and two 250-gallon Radar Data Acquisition (RDA) tanks.
>
> The 2,000-gallon AST and 25-gallon day tank store fuel that is used to
> power a 300-kilowatt (kW) emergency generator. The day tank and
> generator are located in the WFO generator building north of the WFO
> building and are not exposed to precipitation. The 2,000-gallon AST is
> located immediately outside the WFO generator building to the east.
> The generator is used to supply a backup source of electricity for WFO
> operations.
>
> The two 250-gallon RDA tanks are used to store fuel that is used to
> power an 80-kW emergency generator. This generator is used as backup
> power for the RDA tower. The two 250-gallon ASTs and related generator
> are located in an enclosed RDA generator building, southwest of the
> WFO building, and are not exposed to precipitation.
>
> The estimated fuel usage is approximately 100 gallons per month. This
> estimate is based on an automatic test of the generators once per week
> for about 45 minutes. Fuel consumption would increase based on the
> frequency and duration of any power outages.
>
> **Facility Storage**The 2,000-gallon AST is a welded steel plate tank
> enclosed in a concrete outer shell that provides sufficiently
> impervious containment and protects the containment from exposure to
> precipitation. The primary tank has a 2-inch- and two 6-inch-diameter
> vents. The tank is built to Underwriter Laboratories specification 142
> (UL 142).
>
> The 2,000-gallon AST is connected to a pump on top of the day tank via
> a double-walled line that travels through the wall of the WFO
> generator building. This pump moves fuel from the 2,000-gallon AST
> into the day tank. The 25-gallon day tank is a single-walled
> rectangular steel tank that is set in an open top spill pan (rupture
> basin). The day tank is connected to the generator by flexible rubber
> supply and return lines.
>
> The two 250-gallon ASTs inside the RDA generator building are
> single-walled steel tanks. Fuel for the 80-kW generator is fed
> directly from the two 250-gallon RDA tanks via rubber supply lines.
>
> Table 1 summarizes the pertinent information on the tanks at the
> facility.
>
> **Drainage Pathway and Distance to Navigable Waters**Any fuel oil
> spilled from secondary containment systems of the 2,000-gallon tank or
> the 25-gallon day tank would travel east to a grassy slope
> approximately 45 feet east of the 2,000-gallon AST (Figure 2). This
> grassy slope leads to an undeveloped lowland area. This undeveloped
> lowland area drains southward to an unnamed drainage channel that
> defines the southern NWS property boundary. Any fuel oil spilled from
> the secondary containment system (RDA generator building) of the
> 250-gallon RDA tanks would release onto a gravel surface that slopes
> west and south to a grassy area. Flow would then be to the south
> towards the unnamed drainage channel that defines the southern NWS
> property boundary. The unnamed drainage channel is about 50 feet south
> of the Tower Generator shed. The unnamed drainage channel directs flow
> west towards Liberty Bayou, which is approximately 600 feet west of
> the facility.
>
> New Orleans NWS personnel indicated that the Tower Generator shed has
> flooded once since its construction in 1996. This flooding occurred
> when the unnamed drainage ditch flooded during a storm event. The RDA
> generator building had to be sandbagged during the flood period to
> prevent waters from entering the shed. The New Orleans NWS personnel
> indicated that one flood event has occured since 1996. The RDA
> generator building is about 10 to 15 feet below the grade of the NWS
> office building, and is threatened by future flood events.
>
> **Spill History**[Reportable Spill events from start of operations
> (January 1994) to present (date on cover of this plan):]{.underline}
> None.
>
> **Spill Potential, Volumes, and Rates**The most probable causes of
> spills from the 2,000-gallon AST and two 250-gallon RDA tanks are from
> overfilling, a ruptured hose during fuel unloading, or from failure of
> fuel supply lines. For the day tank, the probable causes of spills are
> from a failure of the pump to shut down or failure of the line from
> the pump to the day tank. Low probability events for any of the tanks
> include loss of structural integrity, vehicle collisions, or natural
> disasters.
>
> 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**[2,000-gallon
> AST]{.underline}: The tank construction is compatible with the diesel
> fuel stored in the tank. Secondary containment is provided for the
> entire capacity of the AST. A float-type level gauge indicates the
> fuel level (from empty to full).
>
> An automatic shut-off valve on the cam-lock fitting fill spout is set
> to close at 90 percent of the tanks capacity (1,800 gallons). The tank
> also is equipped with a visible high-level alarm that currently is set
> at 50 percent of capacity (1,000 gallons). A round spill container
> surrounds the fill spout to capture overflow during tank truck
> transfer operations.
>
> [Day Tank]{.underline}: The day tank is enclosed in a weatherproof
> building that provides sufficient containment for the contents of the
> tank and has an open-top spill pan (rupture basin) designed to hold at
> least 110 percent of the tank volume. It has 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 has a float switch that is designed to
> detect fuel that has spilled or leaked. The float switch is connected
> to the audible alarm system.
>
> [RDA Tanks]{.underline}: These two 250-gallon tanks are enclosed in a
> weatherproof building that provides sufficient containment for the
> contents of the tanks. The tanks are constructed of steel and are
> compatible with the diesel fuel stored within the tanks. The tanks are
> equipped with fuel sensors and a high level audible alarm. The RDA
> generator building is designed with a "tub flooring" that is
> approximately 6 to 8 inches deep, with a raised door frame to keep
> fuel from spilling out of the doorway.
>
> [Piping]{.underline}: An antisiphoning valve is located between the
> 2,000-gallon AST and the pump to prevent unwanted fuel from being
> siphoned from the storage tank. The aboveground piping from the
> storage tank to the day tank pump is in a flexible, stainless steel
> sleeve to protect it from corrosion.
>
> **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 storage tank
to prevent spills. This procedure shall be documented every time
refueling occurs on the form found in Appendix A. Copies of this form
shall be kept for 3 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 A). 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 the 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 A).

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 tank (if it has the
    capacity) or disposed 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.

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

1.  **Inspections and Records**

> [Inspection and Maintenance of Tanks]{.underline}: The 2,000-gallon
> AST, day tank, and two 250-gallon RDA tanks shall be inspected weekly
> for any oil outside the tank, especially at seams (including the
> underside). 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 B.
>
> [Record Keeping]{.underline}: The Environmental Focal Point is
> responsible for completing the ullage logs and documentation of fuel
> unloading procedures. These records, as well as records of all
> inspections, shall be maintained for at least 3 years from the time of
> inspection.

2.  Site Security

> The facility is attended and operational 24 hours a day. Adequate
> lighting is provided for the 2,000-gallon AST in order to detect
> spills that may occur at night and to deter vandalism. A security
> fence with a locked gate is provided for the RDA area. The 300-kW
> generator, day tank, two RDA tanks, and 80-kW generator are located in
> generator building that are locked to restrict access. The RDA tanks
> are located within the RDA generator building that is located within a
> fenced area. Therefore, the RDA tanks are secure from potential damage
> from vehicle collisions. The 2,000-gallon AST is located in the direct
> line of traffic and could be subject to damage from a vehicle
> collision.

3.  Training

> The Environmental Focal Point (person responsible for spill prevention
> at the facility) and an alternate shall be trained in the intent of
> applicable oil spill regulations and how to implement the inspection
> and maintenance procedures outlined in paragraph 3, above. Spill
> control and countermeasures shall also be included in the training.
>
> Training shall be repeated once per year. All new personnel
> responsible for implementing this 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 3 years.

**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 outer shell of the 2,000-gallon AST completely
> encloses the primary tank and does not allow precipitation into the
> containment. The secondary containment structure has been constructed
> to contain the entire volume of the tank. A round spill container
> surrounds the fill spout. The AST is equipped with an audible
> high-level alarm set at 85 percent of the AST capacity (1,700 gallons)
> and an automatic shut-off valve on the cam-lock fitting fill spout set
> to close at 90 percent of the AST capacity (1,800 gallons). An
> interstitial monitoring device between the primary tank and concrete
> outer shell (secondary containment) is connected to an audible alarm
> system. A float-type level gauge visually indicates the fuel level in
> the tank. The tank is bolted to its concrete foundation.
>
> The day tank is contained within the WFO generator building that
> provides containment and protects the area from exposure to
> precipitation. The day tank also has a rupture basin designed to hold
> 110 percent of the day tank volume. The rupture basin is equipped with
> a float switch designed to detect fuel within the basin and a
> high-level float switch; both switches will shut off the fuel pump if
> engaged.
>
> Secondary containment for the two RDA tanks is provided for in the RDA
> generator building design. Adequate containment volume is provide in
> the building in the case of an instantaneous release. The RDA
> generator building is designed with a "tub flooring" that is
> approximately 6- to 8-inches deep, with a raised door frame to keep
> fuel from spilling out of the doorway.

**Spill Kits Type and Location**. The facility shall maintain sufficient
spill kit materials such as absorbent pads and mats sufficient to
prevent a spill from reaching a nearby water body. The facility has two
spill kits designed to absorb diesel fuel and to divert a spill. One
spill kit is located inside each of the WFO and RDA generator buildings.
The kits include soil absorbent socks and mats in 95-gallon polyethylene
containers that can also be used as a disposal 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 since it does [not]{.underline}:

> C Transfer oil over water from vessels and have a total oil storage
> capacity of greater than or equal to 42,000 gallons, or
>
> C Have a total storage capacity over 1 million gallons.

A.  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 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 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.

B.  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 D. Copies of the completed form should be sent to the NWS
> Environmental Compliance Officer and the NOAA Regional Compliance
> Officer.

1.  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 (or the local emergency agency) if there is an
    immediate emergency

    1.  Next, notify the appropriate individuals within the NWS:

        1.  **Mike Jacob, (301) 713-1838 Ext. 165**, NWS Environmental
            Compliance Officer

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

2.  Federal Notifications

> The Federal Clean Water Act as described in Title 40 CFR Part 110.6,
> requires notifying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (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." Title 40 CFR Part 110.3 defines "may be harmful" as a
> discharge that:

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 criteria are met contact:
>
> C 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 regional EPA office within 60
> days if [either]{.underline} of the following occurs:
>
> C A discharge of more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon navigable
> waters or adjoining shorelines in a single event, or
>
> C 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 above.

3.  State Notification

> To satisfy the state reporting requirements, the location and quantity
> of the spill must be determined. Notification is required under the
> Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, Hazardous
> Materials Part V, Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Materials, Subpart 2,
> Chapter 101, Hazardous Material Information Development, Preparedness
> and Response Act, if:

1.  The spill is into the waters of the State, 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, or

2.  More than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon the navigable waters of
    the United States or adjoining shorelines is discharged in a single
    spill event.

**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.  Tanks

> Lighting upgrades in the area of the RDA generator should be installed
> in order to detect spills that may occur at night and to deter
> vandalism. This upgrade should be implemented within one year of the
> date of this plan.

> Signage should be installed around the AST and RDA tanks to warn of
> the presence of a combustible liquid, that the combustible liquid is
> No. 2 diesel fuel, and that smoking is not permitted near the tank. A
> fire extinguisher shall be located in each of the adjacent generator
> buildings.

2.  Security

> Fencing should be installed around the 2,000-gallon AST to protect
> against accidental damage and vandalism. This upgrade should be
> implemented within 1 year of the date of this plan.
>
> Guard posts should be installed in front of the 2,000-gallon AST to
> protect against accidental damage from potential vehicle collisions.
> This upgrade should be implemented within 1 year of the date of this
> plan.
>
> Adequate lighting should be installed at the RDA generator building to
> detect spills that may occur at night and to deter vandalism. This
> upgrade should be completed within 1 year of the date of this plan.

B.  PROCEDURAL CHANGES

> **Inspections and Preventative Maintenance**The inspection checklists
> found in Appendix B should be followed. This requirement is found in
> Title 40 CFR Part 112.7(e)(8). Visual inspections of the outside of
> the storage tanks and the wall of the day tank should serve to signal
> a potential problem with their integrity. However, if a problem is
> suspected with any tank, tightness testing should be initiated soon
> after discovery.

1.  Training

> The Environmental Focal Point (person responsible for spill prevention
> at the facility) and an alternate 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 should also 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 C.
>
> Training should be repeated 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 3 years. This requirement is found in Title 40 CFR 112.7(e)(10).
>
> Spill prevention briefings for operating personnel should be conducted
> at frequent intervals to ensure adequate understanding of the SPCC
> plan and to describe spill events or failures, malfunctioning
> components, and recently developed precautionary measures.

  [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 A, Page A-1 in SPCC     
                                   plan). This ullage should then be marked in the  
                                   fueling log 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 th           
                                   appropriate tank appurtenance. In this case, the 
                                   fill nozzle is placed in the fill pipe connected 
                                   to the spill container.                          

  **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 A, Page A-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 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 the tank truck wheels.    

                        14         Return the catch basin outlet valve in the       
                                   adjacent parking lot to the "open" position.     

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