1. GENERAL INFORMATION 

1.1 SITE DESCRIPTION 

The following Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC)1 Plan for Oil & 

Hazardous Substances was developed for implementation during the construction activities of 

Kern River Gas Transmission Company’s (Kern River) Apex Expansion Project (Project). A 

location description of the project is provided below. 

Kern River is proposing to construct, own and operate facilities necessary to expand its 

existing interstate pipeline system, which extends from southwestern Wyoming to southern 

California. The expansion, referred to as the Project, will provide an additional 266,000 

dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of incremental firm transportation service from existing receipt 

points in southwestern Wyoming to existing delivery points in southern Nevada. This 

incremental capacity will increase Kern River’s summer design capacity to 2,142,126 Dth/d. The 

increased capacity will serve new and existing electric generation facilities near Las Vegas, 

Nevada. The facilities required to provide this service include approximately 28.012

 miles of 36-

inch-diameter pipeline in an unlooped section of Kern River’s pipeline system through the 

Wasatch Mountains in northern Utah (Wasatch Loop), 78,000 horsepower (ISO hp) of additional 

compression at three existing compressor stations and one new compressor station, as well as 

replacement of a compressor at a fourth existing compressor station. In order to maximize 

operational efficiency under the expansion design conditions, three existing boost compressors 

will be restaged and a fourth will be replaced. No new meter station facilities are required. 

Other aboveground facilities will include new mainline block valves, pig launchers/receivers and 

a branch connection to provide an existing meter facility with a redundant supply from the 

Wasatch Loop pipeline. There also will be non-jurisdictional facilities associated with this 

Project, which are discussed in Section 1.2. Specifically, the Project includes the following: 

■ Wasatch Loop (Morgan, Davis and Salt Lake Counties, Utah). Approximately 28.01 

miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline, looping the existing Kern River mainline; 

■ Coyote Creek Compressor Station (Uinta County, Wyoming). An additional 16,000 hp 

compressor unit at Kern River’s existing Coyote Creek compressor station and the restaging 

of the existing boost compressor;

unit at Kern River’s existing Elberta compressor station and the restaging of the existing 

boost compressor; 

■ Fillmore Compressor Station (Millard County, Utah). Replacement of a boost 

compressor at Kern River’s existing Fillmore compressor station; 

■ Milford Compressor Station (Beaver County, Utah). A new single-unit 30,000 hp 

compressor station; and 

■ Dry Lake Compressor Station (Clark County, Nevada). An additional 16,000 hp 

compressor unit at Kern River’s existing Dry Lake compressor station and the restaging of 

the existing boost compressor. 

Alignment sheets depicting the location(s) of proposed facilities are located [will be 

updated prior to construction]. 

1.2 SECURITY 

Any hazardous materials located on site will be stored in a secure, locked location. Any 

temporary storage of hazardous wastes, other than those utilized and recycled by the 

Contractor radiographic inspection crew will be secured in a locked location with lighting at the 

approved contractor yard or compressor station site. 

1.3 KERN RIVER PERSONNEL 

Both Kern River and Contractor personnel are to be thoroughly familiar with this SPCC 

Plan and its contents prior to the construction of any Kern River pipeline facilities. The SPCC 

Plan will be followed to prevent or mitigate any releases which may occur. 

The following Kern River representatives assigned to this Project include: 

Chief Inspector (CI): [will be completed prior to construction]

1.4 MATERIAL & WASTE INVENTORY 

Table 1 (Appendix A) provides an anticipated inventory of oils and hazardous 

substances to be utilized during construction activities which, if released, may pose a threat to 

human health or the environment. In addition, Table 1 provides the Reportable Quantity (RQ)3

for each of these materials. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for each of these chemicals is 

presented in Appendix A following Table 1. [Table 1 and MSDS sheets must be completed by 

the Contractor prior to beginning work and updated as required during the Project.]

Contract personnel will be familiarized with this SPCC Plan prior to initiating any on-site 

activities. Any materials brought to the site by contract crews will be inventoried, reported to the 

EI and managed in accordance with the guidelines in this SPCC Plan.

Page 2-1 

2. TRAINING 

The Contractor will instruct personnel prior to construction on the operation and 

maintenance of equipment to prevent the accidental discharge or spill of fuel, oil, and lubricants. 

Personnel will also be made aware of the pollution control laws, rules, and regulations 

applicable to their work. 

Spill prevention briefings with the construction crew will be scheduled and conducted by 

the Contractor to insure adequate understanding of spill prevention measures. These briefings 

will highlight procedures outlined in this plan, including: 

■ precautionary measures to prevent spills; 

■ sources of spills, such as equipment failure or malfunction; 

■ standard operating procedures in case of a spill; 

■ equipment, materials, and supplies available for clean-up of a spill; and 

■ a list of known spill events. 

A spill is an unpermitted release of product, raw materials, or chemicals outside any 

secondary containment into the environment. Spills can occur as a result of leaks, accidents, or 

third party incidents.

7. CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES 

The following section outlines specific procedures to be followed by the contractor and 

Kern River when addressing releases. 

7.1 OIL/FUEL SPILLS 

(1) Small spills and leaks must be remediated as soon as feasible. Use absorbent pads 

wherever possible to reduce the amount of contaminated articles. 

(2) Restrict spills to the containment area if possible by stopping or diverting flow from the 

oil/fuel tank. 

(3) If the release exceeds the containment system capacity, immediately construct 

additional containment using sandbags or fill material. Every effort must be made to 

prevent the seepage of oil into soils and waterways. 

(4) If a release occurs into a facility drain or nearby stream, immediately pump any floating 

layer into drums. For streams, place a barrier between the release area and the site 

boundary. This barrier may include but is not limited to oil booms, straw bales, under 

flow dams or means to contain the release. As soon as possible, excavate 

contaminated soils and sediments. 

(5) After all recoverable oil has been collected and drummed, place contaminated soils and 

articles in containers. 

(6) For larger quantity of soils, construct temporary waste piles using plastic liners. Plasticlined roll-off bins should be leased for storing this material as soon as feasible. 

(7) Dispose of oily soils and contaminated articles in accordance with applicable federal, 

state and local regulations. 

(8) Decontaminate all emergency response equipment used during the incident before 

storing (See part 6.4 of this SPCC Plan for disposal). 

(9) Document and report activities to the L&E Manager as soon as feasible. 
KERN RIVER APEX EXPANSION PROJECT DRAFT SPCC PLAN

Page 7-2 

7.2 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE RELEASES 

(1) Identify the material and quantity released. 

(2) Block off drains and containment areas to limit the extent of the spill. Never use water to 

disperse the spill. 

(3) Ensure that Personnel Protection Equipment and containers are compatible with the 

material released. 

(4) Collect and reclaim, if possible, as much of the spill using a hand pump or similar device. 

Containerize contaminated soils. Never place incompatible materials in the same drum 

or other container. 

(5) Take a sample of the substance for analysis and waste profiling. Contact the L&E 

Manager (See Appendix B) for scheduling analytical work. 

(6) Place a hazardous waste label with appropriate waste code on the drums containing 

hazardous waste contaminated materials. Move drum to secure staging or storage area. 

(7) Decontaminate all equipment in a contained area. Collect and containerize 

decontamination fluids (see part 6.4 of this SPCC Plan for disposal). 

(8) Document and report activities to the L&E Manager as soon as feasible. 

7.3 EQUIPMENT CLEANING/STORAGE 

(1) Upon completion of remedial activities, the Contractor shall be responsible for disposing 

and/or decontaminating emergency response equipment. An approved waste 

management plan must be followed. 

(2) The Contractor shall be responsible for replacing all spent emergency response 

equipment prior to resuming construction activities. 

(3) Decontamination rinse fluids shall be collected and managed in the same manner as 

wastes generated, including performing necessary analyses. 

(4) Reusable personnel protection equipment will be tested and inventoried prior to being 

placed back into service. 
KERN RIVER APEX EXPANSION PROJECT DRAFT SPCC PLAN

Page 7-3 

7.4 DISPOSAL OF CONTAMINATED MATERIALS/SOILS 

(1) The Contractor shall be responsible for the proper disposal of wastes generated by their 

actions, including obtaining applicable authorizations, registrations, and/or EPA/State 

I.D. Numbers. An approved waste management plan must be followed. 

(2) All contaminated articles and soils recovered during a release event shall be properly 

handled and stored in approved United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) 

containers. 

(3) In accordance with Kern River’s policy, all wastes generated as a result of spill response 

activities shall be analyzed to determine if hazardous, unless knowledge of 

contaminant(s) is applied to classify these wastes/spill materials as hazardous. 

(4) Those wastes determined to be hazardous shall be properly labeled, profiled and 

manifested to an authorized hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facility. 

(5) Kern River may utilize a remediation firm or a waste management firm to initiate waste 

disposal activities. At no time will hazardous waste be stored on-site for a period 

exceeding 90 days. 

(6) Hazardous wastes shall be stored in a secured location (i.e. fenced, locked, etc) until 

such time as this material is transported off-site. At no time will hazardous waste be 

stored for a period exceeding 90 days. 

(7) Non-hazardous, oil-contaminated soils and articles shall be properly disposed at 

authorized non-hazardous land disposal facilities. While on-site, these materials will be 

managed in accordance with the procedures outlined previously, and with applicable 

federal, state and local regulations. 

(8) Depending upon quantity, lined roll-off bins shall be leased to temporarily store 

contaminated soils prior to disposal.
