Spill Prevention & Response Plan

506 W. 5th St.Remsen, IA 51050

Facility Phone (712) 786-2266

Background: (types of work and/or hazardous materials used) The hazardous materials located at Remsen GolfCourse, range from chemicals added to the pool, to cleaning products, to the pesticides applied to the golfcourse, to the fuel used for all equipment. All of these are found in enclosed buildings, able to contain any spillsor leaks while not in use.

This spill plan is designed to handle the requirements for this system and associated hazardous materials andshould be updated if the hazardous material inventory changes.

Spill Prevention:The following are general requirements for any hazardous materials stored or used at this facility.

General Requirements1. Ensure all hazardous substances are properly labeled.2. Store, dispense, and/or use hazardous substances in a way that prevents releases.3. Provide secondary containment when storing hazardous substances in bulk quantities (~55gl).4. Maintain good housekeeping practices for all chemical materials at the facility.5. Routine/Daily checks in the hazardous material storage area to be performed by

Ryan Galles.6. Monthly inspections of the hazardous material storage area, secondary containment, and annular space

(interior cavity of double wall tank) on any present Above-ground Storage Tanks (AST) or UndergroundStorage Tanks (UST) need to be logged in this plan. See Appendix A - Inspection Log.

Spill Containment:The general spill response procedure at this facility is to stop the source of the spill, contain any spilledmaterial, and clean up the spill in a timely manner to prevent accidental injury or other damage.

Small spills will be contained by site personnel if they are able to do so without risking injury. Spill kits arelocated at the following location(s): in the maintenance shop

Personnel will ensure that used spill cleanup materials are properly characterized before disposal.For questions about disposal call the STGPD program at (253) 798-3589 or the Local Hazardous Waste Program at (253) 798-7672.



Emergency Procedures: Immediately call 911 in the event of injury, fire or potential fire, or spill of a hazardous substance that gives rise

to an emergency situation.

If a spill has occurred, contact the following persons immediately:

_____Ryan Galles______________(Primary) (712 ) 541-4739

In the event of a large spill, a properly trained employee should: Notify the primary and/or secondary contact from the list above. Continue your spill response. The

primary contact at this time should assess additional notification requirements (i.e. notify City of Tacoma,Ecology, etc. see Spill Reporting below).

Retrieve the spill kit from the closest location.

Assess the area for any immediate dangers to your health or safety (i.e. a wrecked car on fire). If anydangers are present, move away from the area, call 911.

Assess the size of the leak and any immediate threat of the spill reaching the floor/storm drains or permeable surfaces in the area. If there is an immediate threat and there are no safety concerns, thenattempt to block the spill from coming in contact with the floor/storm drain or permeable surface. If no

drain covers are available, then try to use absorbent (cat litter) and/or sock booms or rags to stop the spillfrom getting into the drains or to any permeable surfaces.

If there is no immediate threat to the floor/storm drains or permeable surfaces, or after controlling thespill, try to plug or stop the leak, if possible. If applicable, put on protective gear (gloves, goggles, protective clothing, etc.) and plug the leak.

If the spill can be contained with absorbent booms, deploy them around the spill. Use the booms to directthe spill away from any immediate hazards (i.e. a wrecked car).

Once the spill has been contained and any immediate threat to storm drains or permeable surfaces has been minimized, contact the spill cleanup contractor and dispatch them to clean up the spill or commencespill cleanup procedures.

OPTIONAL: Spill cleanup for large spills should be handled by the Spill Cleanup Contractor

Toxic Substances Plan

Ryan Galles, Superintendent Remsen Golf Course

As our environment becomes more and more vital to the sustainability of golf courses, many plans of action areneeded. The following plan will go over our efforts to properly dispose of all toxic substances used throughoutthe year. This ensures that we aren’t illegally disposing our wastes. The following is information regardingwhich wastes we have throughout the year and where we dispose of them along with contact information to thatagency that disposes our toxic substances in case any of our plans come into question.

All old batteries will be disposed through Bomgaars in LeMars, Iowa. The manager in charge at this storelocation is Tom Sauer and can be reached at 712-546-5500. We receive $6 in gift card form for each old batteryreturned to them

All of our tires and pesticide bottles are disposed at the Plymouth County Landfill. They can be reached at 712-546-6071. The muriatic acid is highly toxic and needs to be handled with care, including an apron along withlong gloves to prevent any skin exposure. The pesticide bottles that are disposed will all be triple rinsed with the

rinsate being applied to the golf course and perforated to allow any excess product to drain along with allowingair into the bottle. They are then transported to the Plymouth County Landfill. All tires are also disposed at thelandfill.

All motor oil is placed in a 55 gallon barrel that is marked “Used Oil” and when filled will be disposed of by

Dustin Schmillen of Powersports Incorporated. He comes to our site to transport the oil back to his shop andalso brings us an empty barrel that is marked. He can be contacted at 712-261-2023.

All of our filters that are replaced on average, yearly, are disposed of at Wagner Auto Supply. These filters areall punctured and tipped upside down to ensure all liquids have drained out of them and into our used oil barrel.The manager at Wagner Auto Supply is George Wagner and can be contacted at 712-546-4308.

In summary, we are dedicated to protecting the environment by going through the proper resources of disposingtoxic substances. The following is our guidelines by which we follow along with contact information to all ofthe vendors which handle our toxic substances.
