For all ppt. features to work, please view in

“Slide Show” Mode

Goals of Training

• Familiarize employees with UWM’s SPCC Plan• Identify oil storage locations • Identify spill pathways• Discuss spill prevention procedures• Familiarize employees with appropriate spill

response procedures and use of responseequipment

Spill Prevention Control andCountermeasures Rule

• It is the oil pollution prevention regulation promulgated under the authority of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act)

• The rule addresses requirements for Spill Prevention Control andCountermeasures (SPCC) plans

SPCC

• SPCC is required by EPA if a facility can “reasonably be expected to discharge harmful amounts of oil into navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines”

Why Does UWM Need an SPCC Plan?

Because we meet the following criteria outlined in the regulations:

• We have aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity of more than 1,320 gallons; and

• Oil can be reasonably expected to enter into navigable waters via floor drains and/or directly into storm water catchment basins

Who Must be Informed About theSPCC Plan?

• Any employee involved in oil handling, transfer, storage, spill response or maintenance of oil equipment

SPCC Training Requirements

• Training is provided at least annually toinform personnel involved in oil storage ormaintenance of tanks about proper actions totake in the event of a spill

• Training updates will be conducted whenevera significant change has been made to any oil storage (e.g., new tank installation)

• Training will also be conducted whenever anew employee is assigned to oil handling,maintenance duties or spill response

What Kinds of Oil are Included?

• Oil means oil of any kind or in any form, including, but not limited to: fats, oils, or greases of animal, fish, or marine mammal origin, vegetable oils, including oils from seeds, nuts, fruits, or kernels; and other oils and greases, including petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, synthetic oils, mineral oils, oil refuse, or oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil.

Where is Oil Stored on Campus?

• Aboveground tanks (Emergency Generators)

• Elevator hydraulic systems• High-Voltage Electric Equipment

(transformers & switches)

• Used cooking oil containers/drums• Fleet Garage used oil tank• Bulk laboratory solvent drums

Oil storage at UWM includes the following:

Drum Storage Room

Potential Spill Pathways

Oil can enter “navigable waters” via:

– Direct spills into combined sewer storm drains

– Spills into a floor or roof drain or other conduit that discharges into the combined sewer

Combined Sewers

• Storm Sewers collect polluted runoff – those flows empty directly into rivers and lakes

MMSD Map of Milwaukee

Spill Scenarios: Large Release Potential

• High Probability:– Release from oil

delivery equipment during unloading at fill ports

– Leaking solvent drums

• Low Probability– Complete tank failure– Catastrophic Fuel

Tanker failure during delivery

Spill Scenarios: Small Release Potential

• High probability:– Minor overfill at fill port– Spills during transfer from drums

or containers

• Low probability:– Leaking or failure of piping and

pumps…if proper inspection & maintenance schedule is followed

– Leaking or failure of drums…if proper inspection & maintenance schedule is followed

SPCC Program Goals

1. SPILL PREVENTIONAchieved through installation of required equipment, timely repair of malfunctioning systems, regular inspections, good material handling & fueling practices

2. SPILL CONTROLAchieved through monitoring of leak detectionsystems, proper reporting & ensuringcontainment systems are functional

3. SPILL COUNTERMEASURESAchieved through quick spill response

Spill Prevention – Inspections

• Document monthly inspections with log sheet

• Maintain and repair equipment as needed

• Review monthly inspection logs to follow-up on corrective actions

• Report all small leaks & unusual observations to maintenance supervisors before they become problems

Tank Inspections

All tanks and associated equipment must be inspected MONTHLY for malfunctions, deteriorations or operator errors that could lead to a spill.

Tank Inspections

– They must be conducted by someone familiar with the tank system

– A written record of inspections must be kept on file for 3 years

Monthly SPCC Inspection Checklist

This inspection record must be completed each month for all tanks and containers located below. Any item receiving a “yes” must be described and corrective actions stated and addressed immediately. Contact 414-430-7507 if you have any questions.

Tank Truck Drivers

• Inspect vehicle before departure to ensure all lines have been disconnected & all drains/vents are closed

• Immediately report any leaks or spills, including quantity, to University Police

Tank truck drivers:

Spill Prevention Control Measures– Containment

– Drums & containers are stored on “spill pallets” or other secondary containment

– Check for indication of oil leaks on floors, spill pallets, dikes, retaining walls & berms

– Report all spills & unusual observations to your supervisor, who will notify University Safety & Assurances

Ensure all Spill Containment structures are in place and operational:

Spill Prevention Control Measures: Secondary Containment

• Secondary containment must be sufficiently impervious to contain oil

• Berms or dikes must have oil holding capacity calculations done and these must be kept on record as long as they are in use

Spill Response – Discovery of Release

• Extinguish any source of ignition

• Cordon off the area• Identify material released• Attempt to stop release at its

source• Reference Material Safety

Data Sheet• Ensure no danger to human

health exists• Initiate spill notification and

reporting procedures

Spill Response – Containment & Follow-up

• Contain the material released into the environment

• Recover or clean up the material spilled

• Clean up the spill area• Decontaminate tools and

equipment• Arrange for proper disposal of

waste materials• Notifications and reports to

outside agencies(SPCC Coordinators)

• Review SPCC Plan to evaluate/improve response

Spill Response Supplies

• Know the location of your oil spill response supplies

• Supplies may include:– Oil dri– Sorbent booms or pads– Spill mats for covering floor

and storm drains– Protective gloves/suits and

safety glasses/goggles– Caution tape for protecting

the spill area– Shovels and drums for

collection of materials

What is a “Release to the Environment”?

Wisconsin Emergency Management defines a “release to the environment” as follows:

• Any amount of oil that produces a sheen on water and/or threatens navigable waters, including drainage ditches

• One gallon or more of a flammable liquid (such as

gasoline) onto unpaved ground• 5 gallons or more of a combustible liquids (such

as diesel fuel or mineral oil) onto unpaved ground• A discharge of a federally listed substance in

excess of its reportable quantity

Spill Reporting & Documentation

• The SPCC Coordinators will prepare a report for any large spill or spill that impacts public health, safety or the environment.

• Reports must include: – Date, time and duration of release– Type of incident– Materials involved– Extent of injuries– Assessment of potential hazards– Disposition of recovered materials– SPCC Plan discrepancies– Steps to prevent similar incidents

Closing Out a Spill

• A spill report will be completed by the SPCCCoordinator, reviewed with the affected parties, signed and filed with University Safety & Assurances

• Important:– Discuss what can and should be done to prevent

another occurrence– Was the response quick and effective? – Should anything be done to enhance the response

system?– Very Important! Re-stock spill kits with replacement

items and additional items if necessary
