SECTION 1

Introduction

1.1 Objectives and Scope of Plan This plan outlines the procedures, methods, and equipment used at the Lempster Wind, LLC (facility) to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) oil spill prevention, control, and countermeasures standards, and to comply with inspection, reporting, training, and record keeping requirements. Pursuant to 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 112.1, a facility must prepare and maintain a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan if the following conditions occur:

1. The facility has aboveground oil storage capacity of more than 1,320 gallon 2. Oil discharges could potentially reach navigable waters as defined in 40 CFR 112.2

These applicability requirements are met by the facility, and an SPCC Plan must be prepared and maintained.

The hierarchical objectives of the SPCC Plan are as follows:

• PREVENT spill from occurring. • PREPARE for a potential spill • RESPOND quickly and appropriately if a spill does occur.

1.2 Plan Content and Format This Plan does not follow the exact format specified in 40 CFR 112. Table 1-1 presents a cross-reference of 40 CFR provisions and Lempster Wind, LLC Plan sections.

This Plan is designed to be “user friendly,” easily implemented, and easily maintained. This Plan relies on “Container/Equipment Data Sheets” that provide SPCC Plan compliance requirements and activities for each oil facility (tank, container, equipment or operation) at the facility. This approach allows Lempster Wind, LLC personnel to efficiently make Plan updates and to address program requirements for their particular area(s) of responsibility.

Section 2.0 of this Plan provides a description of the regulated oil containers at the facility and the facility’s general drainage characteristics. As required by 40 CFR 112.7(a)(1), Section 3.0 provides a discussion of Lempster Wind, LLC’s conformance with the applicable SPCC regulations. Detailed technical and procedural information is referred to in the appendices. Appendix A contains site maps and facility diagrams. Appendix B contains a sample inspection checklist. Appendix C contains the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) Spill Response & Complaint Investigation Section, Incident Report Form. Appendix D contains a sample facility spill log. Finally, Appendix E contains container and equipment data sheets.

SPILL PREVENTION, CONTROL, AND COUNTERMEASURES PLAN

1-2 PDX/070950004.DOC

This Plan has been developed in accordance with the revised SPCC rules issued by EPA on July 17, 2002.

SECTION 2

Facility Description

This section describes the facility, including the project area, wind turbine generators, Lempster Wind, LLC operations and maintenance (O&M) facility and substation, and the oil containers and equipment.

2.1 Project Area 2.1.1 General The Lempster Wind Project is a planned 24 MW wind power project that will cover an approximate 60 acre area near the town of Lempster, New Hampshire, located on privately owned land in southwestern New Hampshire, approximately 20 miles north of Keene and less than 5 miles south of Mount Sunapee. The Lempster Wind Project consists of twelve turbines and will have the capacity to provide the annual electricity needs of approximately 10,500 New Hampshire homes. In general, the oil containers or oil-filled equipment covered by this SPCC Plan are as follows:

• Gear boxes located inside the wind turbine structures • Electrical transformers containing dielectric fluid • 55-gallons drum storage of oil products in the O&M building

The site map provided in Appendix A identifies the location and contents of each oil container. The container areas are described in more detail in the following sections. There are no underground storage tanks (USTs) at the facility.

At the time of initial Plan development and writing, the facility is under construction and is expected to be operational within the near future. The O&M building is complete, and switch yard is complete, however the turbines are currently being assembled, and virgin oil storage for nacelle hydraulic and gear box oil have not arrived at the site..

2.1.2 Topography The Lempster Wind, LLC facility is located along the ridgeline of Lempster Mountain, which runs from the northeast to the southwest, parallel to New Hampshire Route 10 in southwestern New Hampshire in Sullivan County. The highest point in Lempster is the summit of Bean Mountain, at 2,326 feet (709 m) above sea level. The site lies mostly within the Connecticut River watershed, with the southeastern corner lying in the Ashuelot River watershed. The surface is, in general, uneven and mountainous. The project site is located in moderately to significantly sloping in areas and is dominated by forested upland.

2.1.3 Drainage and Water Bodies The Lempster Wind site lies mostly within the Connecticut River watershed, with the southeastern corner lying in the Ashuelot River watershed. Flow at the site quickly matriculates into gravel and subsequently to the water table. Any flow that did occur near


2-2 PDX/070950004.DOC

the northern portion of the site would primarily flow to the Cold River located approximately 5 miles to the east of the site. Flow from the southern portion of the site would drain to the Sugar River, which is a tributary of the Connecticut River.

2.1.4 Wind Turbine Generators Two types of oil-filled operational equipment are located at each of the 12 wind turbine generators (WTGs):

• Gear Boxes: Each WTG Meropa 320 gearbox contains 95 gallons of lubricating oil and is located at the top of the 260-foot turbine tower enclosure known as a nacelle.

• Step-up Transformer: These transformers are situated in the tower “nacelle” and are dry transformers with no oil storage capacity or oil in them at all.

• Hydraulic Units: There is also one hydraulic unit situated in each tower “nacelle” which provides secondary containment. The hydraulic unit holds 40 to 50 gallons of hydraulic fluid. These units are exempt from SPCC regulation as is below the 55 gallon threshold.

• The locations of the WTG sites are shown on Figure 1 provided in Appendix A.

2.2 Lempster Wind, LLC O&M Facility and Switchyard The O&M facility located on at the Lempster facility will house up to 6 55-gallon drums of oil products. Spill pallets are used as passive secondary containment for these drums. The site maintains a switch yard which includes three mounted grounding transformers; each transformer contains approximately 116 gallons of oil. There is no substation onsite. One spare grounding transformer is maintained at the site. The spare transformer contains no oil.

Plan drawings of the Lempster Wind, LLC O&M facility are provided in Appendix A.

2.3 Summary of Oil Containers and Equipment Table 2-1 summarizes the oil containers and equipment to be used.

SECTION 3

Plan Requirements and Activities

This section describes the following general SPCC Plan requirements:

• Fault Analysis and Containment Measures • Inspections • Spill Response • Recordkeeping • Training • Security

This SPCC Plan conforms to SPCC rules with the exception of certain integrity testing requirements on 55-gallon drums for which environmental equivalence is demonstrated in Section 3.2.1. No additional state or local requirements pertaining to oil spill prevention were identified. Specific spill prevention control and countermeasures applicable to individual oil filled equipment or containers are provided in the “Container/Equipment Data Sheets” in Appendix E.

3.1 Fault Analysis and Containment Measures 3.1.1 Overview The development of this SPCC Plan included analyzing each oil-filled equipment or container for the following:

• A determination of the most likely spill scenario based on good engineering practice • An evaluation of the appropriateness of passive containment measures provided in the

original facility design and construction • An evaluation of the appropriateness of active containment measures for other

equipment not originally provided with passive containment measures

Table 3-1 provides a summary of the secondary containment strategy for oil-filled equipment and containers at the Lempster Wind Project facility. Additional details are provided in the Container/Equipment data sheets in Appendix E. Section 3.1.2 provides a detailed evaluation of active containment measures for the oil filled operating equipment.

Oil Storage Containers

55 gallon drum Up to 55 Spill Pallets

3.1.2 Evaluation of Active Containment Measures for Gear Boxes As described in Section 2, the facility includes gear boxes, step-up transformers and hydraulic units at each of the 12 WTG sites. The step-up transformers are dry units with no oil storage capacity and thus not regulated by SPCC. The gear boxes contain 95 gallons of oil each. The hydraulic units are below 55 gallons and thus exempt from SPCC regulation though secondary containment is provided via the “nacelle” itself in the same way as outlined below for the gear boxes.

The set up for this site is unique in that the step-up transformers and gear boxes are located in the wind turbine nacelle itself. As such, the nacelle itself will serve as secondary containment so secondary containment around the concrete foundations or otherwise is not necessary. In the event of a spill the nacelle would contain most or all of the oil. Any oil spillage from any of the oil filled equipment or reservoirs that did escape from the nacelle would drain within the tower. The wind tower is set on concrete and tightly sealed around the pedestal and tower base with epoxy seal on the flange at the bottom of the tower.

In a worse case scenario there would potentially be an instantaneous release of 95 gallons from the gear box. In this case the spill will be contained within the sealed concrete tower floor base. Spills from nacelle will drip along the tower to the base. A minimal amount of oil, i.e. less than a gallon could potentially make it to the ground in a worst case scenario


PDX/070950004.DOC 3-3

situation. Passive containment is provided by the tower nacelle and tower in combination with active measures to recover small amounts of oil that make it to the ground.

3.1.3 Evaluation of Active Containment Measures for Grounding Transformers The grounding transformers are pole mounted and away from any bodies of water. Active containment measures are used to control and remove any potential spills from the large, flat gravel area surrounding the grounding transformer location. There is a high temperature fault detection system in place which will notify wind farm technicians to investigate.

3.2 Inspections The facility includes bulk oil storage containers (55-gallon drums) and oil-filled operating equipment (electrical transformers and gear boxes). Industry standards for inspections of 55-gallon drums include the Steel Tank Institutes SP001 Standard for Inspection of Aboveground Storage Tanks, Third Edition, issued July 2005. The standard calls for owner-performed inspections conducted at least monthly. Containers will be stored so that all sides are visible (i.e., the container has no contact with the ground). If the container starts to degrade (e.g., begins to rust, or oxidize if a poly drum), the contents of the container will be transferred to a new drum compatible with the material. These controls are expected to provide environmental protection equivalent to integrity testing.

Formal monthly inspections for the transformers and gear boxes (exterior portion of nacelle and tower) have also been deemed appropriate for the facility at this time. Weekly “drive by” inspections will also be performed. A monthly inspection checklist is provided in Appendix B.

3.3 Spill Response 3.3.1 Procedures For quick reference an oil spill response flow chart has been developed and is provided in the front cover of this Plan. The procedures include internal and external notification procedures for initiating a response. For small spills (less than 5 gallons), facility personnel will promptly clean up any visible discharge. For spills greater than 5 gallons, the Lempster Wind Project Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures must be followed. This procedure will be maintained onsite as part of standard operating procedures. The following actions are recommended to mitigate the release of oil products:

1. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, STOP THE SOURCE OF THE SPILL IMMEDIATELY. Close the valve, shut down pumping, or take whatever actions are possible to stop any release. If conditions are hazardous (for example, fire or potential explosion), do not approach.

If safety is not an issue, call other nearby employees for assistance in stopping the release.


3-4 PDX/070950004.DOC

2. The release should be confined to the smallest area possible.

− Use booms or sandbags, dig small trenches, or place absorbent pads to stop the spread.

− Take immediate action to prevent the spill from reaching off-site or surface waters.

− Place booms or pads, dig a diversion ditch, or use soil to form a berm.

− If the release reaches water, attempt to place booms to contain the release, or, if necessary, block drainage downstream of spill to prevent further discharge.

A list of emergency equipment and materials, and the locations where they are stored, is provided below.

3. Properly dispose of contaminated soils and/or equipment.

4. Perform the external notifications as outlined in Section 3.3.2.

3.3.2 External Notifications For any amount of oil that causes a sheen on “waters of the state” or that violates and applicable water quality standard, the following must be notified.

National Response Center (NRC): (800) 424-8802

New Hampshire Emergency Response Number (603) 271-3899

For additional information on spill reporting in New Hampshire, see DES’s Spill Response & Complaint Investigation Section, Incident Report Form provided in Appendix C. Spill events requiring SPCC Plan revision, submittal, and reporting are described below.

Lempster Wind, LLC will submit the SPCC Plan with all amendments to the EPA Regional Administrator within 60 days if one of the following events occurs:

(1) A discharge of more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon navigable waters or adjoining shorelines in a single spill event.

(2) A discharge of oil in harmful quantities (in violation of water quality standards or which have caused a sheen, film or discoloration on the surface of the waters) into or upon navigable waters or adjoining shorelines in two spill events reportable under Section 311(b) (5) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), known as the Clean Water Act, occurring within any 12-month period.

If one of the above events occurred, the following information is required to be submitted to EPA and the State:

• Name of the facility

• Name(s) of the owner/operator of the facility

• Location of the facility


PDX/070950004.DOC 3-5

• Date and year of initial facility operation

• Maximum storage or handling capacity of the facility and normally daily throughput

• Description of the facility, including maps, flow diagrams, and topographical maps

• A complete copy of the SPCC Plan with all amendments

• The cause(s) of such spill, including a failure analysis of system or subsystem in which the failure occurred

• Material and quantity of such spill

• The corrective actions and/or countermeasures taken, including an adequate description of the equipment, repairs and/or replacements

• Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of recurrence

• Such other information as the EPA Regional Administrator may reasonably require pertinent to the SPCC Plan or spill

3.3.3 Spill Response Equipment Table 3-2 identifies the recommended spill response equipment to be maintained onsite. Spill response will probably include digging up dirt and placing it in berms around the spill as well as placing absorbent mats into the spilled oil. Manufacturer information indicates the oil absorbency of the listed spill response absorbents to be approximately 114 gallons and should be adequate for initial response to spill incidents.

3.3.4 Spill History Once active, the facility will record all oil spills over 1 gallon. A template facility spill log is provided in Appendix D.

3.4 Recordkeeping All records generated with this plan (spill notifications, inspection worksheets, integrity testing results, repair records, and training records) are maintained for a minimum of 3 years. These records are filed in the SPCC records or in the facility operating records. A copy of this SPCC Plan is kept onsite and at the Lempster Wind, LLC office in Lempster, New Hampshire.

3.5 Training Training is required for oil-handling employees and employees that perform inspections under this plan. . These personnel at the facility will be trained in the following areas:

• Laws and regulations regarding spills, releases, and pollution control • Contents of the SPCC Plan • Operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges • General facility operations • Known discharges or failures and malfunctioning components • Recently developed precautionary measures

Spill prevention and response training will be conducted at least annually. This training will be documented. In addition, informal briefings will be held periodically through the year to update employees on changes in the regulations, laws, or in-house procedures (e.g., during tailgate safety briefings).

Training records will be maintained for 3 years.

3.6 Security To prevent a spill or release from being caused by accidental or unknown entry or vandalism, several security measures have been employed, as follow:

• The O&M facility and substation will be locked once completed.


PDX/070950004.DOC 3-7

• WTG towers are locked.

• Sufficient lighting and security are provided throughout the O&M facility and substation to allow for spill detection and the prevention and discovery of vandalism.
