Introduction
Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure plans for facilities are
prepared and implemented as required by U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (U.S. EPA) regulations contained in Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 112 (40 CFR 112). A non-transportation related facility
is subject to SPCC regulations if: 1) due to its location, the facility could
reasonably be expected to discharge oil into or upon the navigable waters
of the United States; 2) the total aboveground storage capacity exceeds
1,320 gallons (calculated total of containers with capacity of 55 gallons or
more); or 3) the completely buried storage capacity exceeds 42,000
gallons.
The SPCC plan is not required to be filed with U.S. EPA, but a copy must
be available for on-site review by the Regional Administrator during
normal working hours if the subject facility is attended at least 4 hours a
day. The SPCC plan must be submitted to the U.S. EPA Region 10,
Regional Administrator and the state agency in charge of oil pollution
control along with the other information specified in 40 CFR if either of the
following occurs:
The facility discharges more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon
navigable water of the United States or adjoining shorelines in a single
event; or
The facility discharges more than 42 gallons of oil in each of two discharge
events within any 12 month period.
Discharge information must be reported to U.S. EPA Region 10 and
the state agency within 60 days if either of the above thresholds is
reached. The report is to contain the following information:
Name of facility;
Name(s) of the owner or operator of the facility;
Location of the facility;
Maximum storage or handling capacity of the facility and normal daily
output;
Corrective actions and/or countermeasures taken, including a description
of equipment repairs and/or replacements;
An adequate description of the facility, including maps, flow diagrams,
900-O-P2-8-12
SIDNEY MT SPCC PLAN - VERSION 1 - Page 3 of 32
topographical maps as necessary, and diagrams which show the location
of exempted tanks;
The cause of the discharge, including a failure analysis of the system or
subsystem that failed;
Additional preventative measures taken or contemplated to minimize the
possibility of recurrence; and such other information the Regional
Administrator may require pertinent to the plan or discharge. The cause of
the discharge, including a failure analysis of the system or subsystem that
failed;
Additional preventative measures taken or contemplated to minimize the
possibility of recurrence; and such other information the Regional
Administrator may require pertinent to the plan or discharge.
The SPCC plan shall be amended within 6 months there is a change in
facility, design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially
affects the facility’s discharge potential. The plan must be reviewed once
every 5 years and amended to include more effective prevention and
control technology, if such technology will significantly reduce the
likelihood of a discharge event and has been proven in the field. All
technical amendments must be certified by a registered professional
engineer.
Owners and operators failing or refusing to comply with these federal
regulations are liable to a Class I civil penalty of $10,000 per violation (up to
a maximum assessment of $25,000) or a Class II penalty of up to $10,000
per day of violation (up to a maximum assessment of $125,000) plus a 10%
increase assessed cap for Class I and Class II penalties.
The facility cannot self certify because it stores more than 10,000 gallons
and this is the threshold for self certification. A signed certification is
included in the Appendix, Ref: 40CFR 112 App C.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE
FIRE
(Source: Emergency Response Guidebook, Guide 128 “Flammable Liquids” page 204)
CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be
inefficient.
CAUTION: For mixtures containing high percentage of an alcohol or polar solvent, alcohol-resistant foam
may be more effective.
Note: Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) binders are located at each active project location and active
maintenance facility for reference.
Small Fires
• Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.
Large Fires
• Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Water spray, fog or regular foam.
• Use water spray or fog; do not use straight streams.
• Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Fire involving Tanks or Car/Trailer Loads
• Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.
• Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
• Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or
discoloration of tank.
• ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire.
• For massive fire, used unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is
impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.
SPILL OR LEAK
• ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area).
• All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.
• Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
• Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
• Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
• A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.
• Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to
containers.
• Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.
Large Spills
• Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.
• Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
FIRST AID
• Move victim to fresh air.
• Call 911 or emergency medical service.
• Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing.
• Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
• Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes.
• In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for
at least 20 minutes.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS
Ref: Emergency Response Guide Book: Guide # 128 “Flammable Liquid” Page 204.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
• HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames.
• Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.
• Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back.
• Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or
confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks).
• Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.
• Those substances designated with a “P” may polymerize explosively when heated or
involved in a fire.
• Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
• Containers may create fire or explosion hazard.
• Containers may explode when heated.
• Many liquids, for example, petroleum products are lighter than water.
• Substance may be transported hot.
HEALTH
• Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes.
• Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
• Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation.
• Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
PUBLIC SAFETY
• CALL Emergency Response Telephone Number on Shipping Paper first. If
Shipping Paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number
listed on inside back cover.
• Isolate spill or leak area immediately for at least 25 to 59 meters (80 to 160 feet) in all
directions.
• Keep unauthorized personnel away.
• Stay upwind.
• Keep out of low areas.
• Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
• Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
• Structural firefighters’ protective clothing will only provide limited protection.
EVACUATION
Large Spill
• Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 meters (1000 feet).
Fire
•
If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all
directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions.

FUELING OPERATIONS
 Smoking is prohibited during the refueling of any equipment. Clean
the fuel cap area before opening. This will prevent dirt or moisture from
entering your fuel system.
 After you remove the fuel cap, place it on the fuel trailer or the meter box
to prevent losing the cap. (After fueling is completed replace the cap
back on the equipment’s fuel receptacle.)
 Never put a rag, paper towels or any other material in the fuel receptacle
in place of a missing fuel cap. If dirt, rags other materials enter the fuel
system it will cause major problems. The only way to clean the system
is to drain the tank and remove it and steam clean the tank.
 Next remove the fuel nozzle from the fuel tank hanger. Wipe the nozzle
to ensure no dirt gets into your truck fuel tank. Then place the nozzle
into the equipment’s fuel receptacle.
 Remain with the nozzle to prevent any fuel spillage. If you do spill fuel,
dam the area immediately to prevent run off. Report the spill to your
supervisor immediately. Fuel Spill will be cleaned up immediately and
all contaminated soil will be removed and disposed of properly.
 A Safety Tip: Ensure that the fuel nozzle remains grounded to the
equipment fuel receptacle to prevent any static sparks from occurring
while fueling. If a fire occurs leave the nozzle in the tank. Removing the
nozzle will spread the fire. A fire extinguisher should be accessible
during all fueling operations in case of an emergency.

SIDNEY MT SPCC PLAN - VERSION 1 - Page 26 of 32
TRANSYSTEMS
WRITTEN HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM
AS REQUIRED BY OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY
AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
To all employees:
All employers, including this company, must provide information to their employees about
potential hazards of chemicals which they may be exposed to on the job.
In our company there are some employees who are covered by this requirement because their
work involves exposure to hazardous chemicals, and others who are not covered because their
work does not involve such exposure.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines a covered employee as any
worker who is exposed to hazardous chemicals under normal operating conditions or in
foreseeable emergencies.
OSHA explains that workers such as office workers or bank tellers who encounter hazardous
chemicals only in non-routine, isolated instances are not covered.
OSHA required that employers establish a written hazard communication program at each
facility so that employees can access information about hazardous chemicals in the workplace
as needed.
We have surveyed work sites in this company to determine which work processes use
hazardous chemicals. The names of these chemicals are the same as names shown on
material safety data sheets for each chemical and on labels on containers of each chemical.
The following is a listing of such chemicals.
Parts Cleaning Solvent
Acetylene
Gasoline (leaded and unleaded)
Oxygen
Methyl Alcohol
25% Carbon Dioxide/75% Argon
Anti-Freeze
Sulfuric Acid
Motor Oil. Used

SIDNEY MT SPCC PLAN - VERSION 1 - Page 27 of 32
Labels are placed on containers by manufacturers and distributors to serve as an immediate
visual warning of the chemical hazards in the workplace. It is not the responsibility of our
company to label containers but periodically company managers will inspect containers to
assure that labels are intact and legible.
Our company will also assure that there are material safety data sheets available to employees
at the workplace for each hazardous chemical used. The material safety data sheets are
provided to us by manufacturers and distributors of chemicals when we purchase them. These
safety data sheets will be maintained in the workplace and readily accessible to any employee
by asking the immediate manager. The material safety data sheet contains the following
information:
•
•
•
•
Identity of the material;
Physical and chemical characteristics;
Physical hazards including potential for fire, explosion and reactivity;
Health hazards including signs and symptoms of exposure, and any medical
conditions which are generally recognized as being aggravated by exposure to the
chemical;
• Primary routes of entry into the body; skin absorption, smell, etc.
• Exposure limits;
• Whether the chemical is listed in the National Toxicology Program Annual Report on
Carcinogens or has been found to be a potential carcinogen in the International
Agency for Research on Cancer Monographs, or by OSHA;
• Any generally applicable precautions for safe handling and use including appropriate
hygienic practices, protective measures during repair and maintenance of
contaminated equipment, and procedures for cleaning up spills and leaks;
• Any generally applicable control measures such as engineering controls, work
practices, or personal protective equipment;
• Emergency and first aid procedures;
• Date of preparation of the material safety data sheet or the last change to it;
• Name, address and telephone number of the party preparing or distributing the
• MSDS who can provide additional information on the hazardous chemical and
appropriate emergency procedures, if necessary.
If no relevant information is found for any given category on a material safety data sheet, the
MSDS will be marked to indicate that no applicable information was found. In addition, where
complex mixtures have similar hazards and contents, one material safety data sheet may apply
to all of these similar mixtures.
Employees will receive information and training about hazardous materials exposure at the time
of an employee’s initial work assignment in an area where hazardous chemicals are used and
whenever a new hazard is introduced into their work area. Managers will show and explain
labels, material safety data sheets, and other hazard warnings. Managers will also explain the
nature of hazardous chemicals in specific workplaces and the written hazard communication
program.
Training will include instruction to employees on methods and observations to detect the
presence or release of a hazardous chemical (such as monitoring by the company, visual
900-O-P2-8-12
SIDNEY MT SPCC PLAN - VERSION 1 - Page 28 of 32
appearance, or odors). Training will also include instruction to employees on physical and health
hazards, protective measures, and details of the hazard communication program. Employees
will be instructed on how to obtain and use hazard information.
For employees who handle sealed containers of chemicals and do not open the containers
under normal conditions, our company will:
•
•
•
•
Maintain and provide access to material safety data sheets that are received for
hazardous chemicals while the chemicals are in the workplace;
Obtain material safety data sheets when they are not received but an employee
requests one;
Insure that labels on incoming containers of hazardous materials are not
removed or defaced;
Provide information and training to the extent needed to protect those employees
in the event of a spill or a leak.
Employees who have questions about this program or who are seeking additional information
should request this information through their manager.
