**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 is conducted at least once every 3 years. As
a result of this review and evaluation, the National Weather Service
will amend the SPCC Plan within 6 months of the review to include more
effective prevention and control technology if:

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

Any amendment to the SPCC plan shall be certified by a Professional
Engineer within 6 months after a change in the facility design,
construction, operation, or maintenance occurs that materially affects
the facility's potential for the discharge of oil into or upon the
navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines.

**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 Leon County, Florida, on the campus of Florida State University
> (Figure 1). Figure 2 shows the layout of the facility, including the
> location of a 2,000-gallon aboveground storage tank (AST). The tank is
> built on top of the fuel tank, eliminating the need for a day tank.
> The AST is connected to an emergency backup power (electric)
> generator. The generator is located on the southwest side of the Love
> Building, behind a brick wall designed to prevent vehicle damage.
>
> The estimated fuel usage is approximately 75 gallons per month. This
> estimate is based on an automatic test of the generator once per week
> for 30 minutes. Fuel consumption would increase based on the frequency
> and duration of any power outages.
>
> **Facility Storage**The AST is a 2,000-gallon welded, double-walled
> steel plate tank, which provides sufficiently impervious secondary
> containment. The primary tank has a 2-inch-diameter vent and a
> 6-inch-diameter emergency vent. Additionally, the interstitial space
> between the steel and concrete containment walls is continuously
> monitored for leaks with an audible alarm system. Additionally, the
> tank has a 5 gallon overflow basin around the fill port which drains
> fuel spills back into the AST.
>
> Table 1 summarizes the pertinent information on the tanks at the
> facility.
>
> **Drainage Pathway and Distance to Navigable Waters**Small spills or
> leaks emanating from these tanks and breaching their secondary
> containment systems (described in paragraph B.1.) would flow to the
> south approximately 100 feet to a series of stormwater drains due to
> the slope of the asphalt parking lot. These stormwater drains flow to
> a stormwater treatment/detention plant located on the campus of
> Florida State University. Although no treatment occurs here under
> normal circumstances, the plant would be able to handle a release of
> the storage tank's contents. Any overflow from the detention plant
> would reach an unnamed drainage ditch.
>
> **Spill History**[Reportable Spill events:]{.underline} None.
>
> **Spill Potential, Volumes, and Rates**The most probable causes of
> spills from the AST are from overfilling, a ruptured hose during fuel
> unloading, or from loss of structural integrity because of events such
> as tornados. For this AST, spills caused by vehicle collisions or
> tornados are low probability events.
>
> 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**[AST]{.underline}: The AST construction is compatible with
> the number 2 diesel fuel held by the AST. An outer steel wall
> impervious to diesel fuel completely encloses the inner steel wall and
> provides sufficient secondary containment. A float-type level gauge
> indicates the fuel level (from empty to full) in the AST.
>
> An automatic shut-off valve on the cam-lock fitting fill spout is set
> to close at 90 percent of the tanks capacity (1800 gallons). The tank
> also has an audible high-level alarm set at 85 percent of capacity
> (1700 gallons). An interstitial monitoring device between the inner
> steel wall and outer steel wall (secondary containment) is connected
> to the audible alarm system that sounds if leaks are detected. A
> 5-gallon-capacity round spill container surrounds the fill spout.
>
> [Piping]{.underline}: All piping to the generator drains back into the
> AST.
>
> **Tank Truck Unloading Operations**All delivery drivers shall have
> U.S. Department of Transportation hazardous material transportation
> training as required by Federal law. Except in emergencies, fueling
> will not take place during rain events, so that there will not be the
> potential for fuel to reach navigable waters.
>
> 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 in the form found in Appendix A. Copies of this form
> shall be kept for 3 years.
>
> The following procedure shall be used [before]{.underline} fuel
> unloading:

1.  Move spill containment equipment such as booms or spill barrier,
    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) before
    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) before removal of the hose from the tank.

9.  Pour any fuel accumulated 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 it appropriately.

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

11. Remove the blocks from truck wheels.

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

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
1.  **Inspections and Records**

> [Inspection and Maintenance of Tanks]{.underline}: The AST shall be
> inspected weekly for any oil outside the tank, especially at seams
> (including the underside). The welds and outer tank shall be inspected
> for excess corrosion. Monthly and annual inspections shall follow the
> checklists shown in Appendix B.
>
> [Record Keeping]{.underline}: The Environmental Focal Point or
> designated alternative 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 3
> years from the time of inspection.

2.  Site Security

> The AST has adequate lighting to detect spills and deter vandalism.
> Signage around the tank warns of the presence of a combustible liquid,
> that the combustible liquid is diesel fuel number 2, and that smoking
> is not permitted near the tank. The AST is built behind a brick wall
> designed to prevent vehicles from colliding with it. Also, a security
> fence surrounds the AST to prevent vandalism.

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 also shall 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 steel secondary containment tank on the AST completely
> encloses the inner steel tank and does not allow precipitation into
> the containment. The system is equipped with a monitoring system that
> can detect fuel of 1 inch or more in the interstitial space of the AST
> and sounds an audible alarm when a leak was detected.
>
> **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. These items are stored
> in the Love Building Maintenance room. The kit includes oil absorbent
> materials such as socks and mats in a polyethylene container that can
> 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 because it does [not]{.underline}:

> 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.

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

2.  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

    3.  **Terry Brisbin**, **(817) 978-2367, Ext. 139**, NWS Southern
        Regional Environmental/Safety Coordinator

    4.  **Mark George**, **(303) 497-3064**, NOAA Mountain Regional
        Compliance Officer

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
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 criterion are met contact:
>
> 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:
>
> A discharge of more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon navigable
> waters or adjoining shore lines in a single event, or
>
> Two spill events that cause visible sheens upon navigable waters or
> adjoining shore lines 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.

3.  State Notification

> To satisfy the state reporting requirements, the location and quantity
> of any spill must be determined. Under the Florida Administrative
> Rules Chapter 62N - 14, a reportable quantity (RQ) is defined as
> follows:

1.  If spilled on the [surface of the land]{.underline}, any quantity of
    oil over 25 gallons

2.  If spilled into the waters of the state, any quantity that would
    produce a visible oil slick, oil solids, or coat aquatic life,
    habitat, or property with oil

> If one or both of these criteria are met, contact the Florida Division
> of Emergency Management:

**(850) 413-9911**

4.  Cleanup Contractor Notification

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

1.  Handex of Florida **(850) 906-9011**

**(888) 656-0142**

2.  SWS **(850) 942-3700**

3.  Saftey-Kleen **(850) 576-9764**

**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.  Spill Kits

> 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 or storm sewer. Because there are storm drains
> located approximately 100 feet from the fueling area, urethane spill
> barriers or similar devices are recommended that may be more effective
> than the absorbent materials alone. Urethane spill barriers are not a
> mandatory requirement so long as a sufficient amount of absorbent
> materials or other equipment/supplies are maintained that can prevent
> fuel from reaching a storm drain in the event of a spill.

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 Section 112.7(e)(8). The interstitial monitoring device
> in the AST is designed to monitor the integrity of the primary tank.
> Visual inspections of the outside of the outer steel wall (secondary
> containment) of the AST and the primary wall of the AST (through the
> inspection port) should serve to signal a potential problem with their
> integrity. 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 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.

  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 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 before unloading.                       

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

  **During unloading**                                                              

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

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

  **After fuel

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

                        10         Before 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 before removing the       
                                   blocks to ensure the lines have been             
                                   disconnected from the tank.                      

                        13         Remove the blocks from tank truck wheels.        

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