New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 6 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION › Chapter V - RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SERVICES › Subchapter E - WATER REGULATION › Part 598 - Handling and Storage of Hazardous Substances › Subpart 598-1 - General Provisions › Section 598-1.9 - Spill Prevention Report

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The owner or operator of any facility
					 must prepare and maintain a spill prevention report for preventing and
					 responding to spills, releases and accidents at the facility. The report must
					 be properly indexed, logically organized, and filed on the premises of the
					 facility at all times. The report must be updated at least annually. If
					 requested, the owner or operator must supply a copy of the report to the
					 department. The comprehensiveness of the spill prevention report will be a
					 function of the risks at the facility. At facilities with good operating
					 histories, small quantities of low hazard substances in areas of minimal
					 environmental risk, reports will contain basic information and assessments.
					 Where facilities or risks are larger, the report will assess such risks and
					 will be proportionately more complex.
(b) The spill prevention report must include
					 the following:
(1) a copy of the registration
					 application and certificate issued under section
					 1.14 of this Part;
(2) management approval of the report
					 evidenced by the signature of the principal executive officer or authorized
					 representative;
(3) an up-to-date
					 facility site map of sufficient detail to locate and identify tank systems and
					 transfer stations;
(4) the name,
					 signature, and license number of the professional engineer licensed in New York
					 State or other qualified person who prepared the plan;
(5) a listing and summary description, for
					 the past five years, of spills:
(i) required
					 to be reported under State or Federal law; and
(ii) which the facility can ascertain have
					 occurred through an examination of existing books, records, or other
					 documentation. This must address the magnitude and impact of such spills and be
					 updated to incorporate reports required under sections
					 2.4,
					 3.4, and
					 4.4 of this Part;
(6) identification and assessment
					 of causes of spills, leaks and releases at the facility;
(7) status report on compliance with this
					 Part;
(8) an appendix of those
					 records (or index of records) which must be kept and made available to the
					 department pursuant to requirements of this Part;
(9) evidence of financial responsibility if
					 required by section
					 1.15 of this Part;
					 and
(10) a plan for spill response,
					 including: a prediction of the direction of flow or dispersion of a spill; a
					 map showing areas impacted by a spill including sewers, drainage ditches, water
					 supplies, wells, streams and populated areas; a list of equipment and materials
					 to contain a spill; name and phone number for emergency contacts, coordinators,
					 and clean-up contractors; spill reporting procedures; plans for annual drills
					 and other information consistent with generally accepted spill prevention
					 control and countermeasure practices.
