REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES
A summary of the regulations and guidelines applicable to the above
mentioned problem areas is as follows:
'------------------DAVIS B FLOYD ENGINEERS, INC. _____ _,
•
1.

4
Bulk Storage Tanks (on shore) (excluding production facilities) -No
tank should be used for the storage of oil unless its material and
construction are compatible with the material stored and conditions
of storage such as pressure and temperature, etc.
All bulk storage tank installations should be constructed so that
a secondary means of containment is provided for the entire contents
of the largest single tank plus sufficient freeboard to allow for
precipitation. Diked areas should be sufficiently impervious to con-
tain spilled oil. Dikes, containment curbs, and pits are con~only
employed for this purpose, but they may not always be appropriate.
An alternate system could consist of a complete drainage trench
enclosure arranged so that a spill could terminate and be safely
confined in an in-plant catchment basin or holding pond.
llrainaqe of rainwater from the diked area into a storm drain or
an effluent.discharge that empties into an open water course, lake,
or pond and bypassing the in-plant treatment system may be acceptable
if:
(A)
( B)
(C)
(D)
The bypass valve is normally sealed closed.
Inspection of the run-off rain water ensures compliance
with applicable water quality standards and will not
cause harmful discharge as defined in 40 CFR 110.
The bypass valve is opened, and resealed following
drainage under responsible supervision.
Adequate records are kept of such events.
Facility Tank Car and Tank Truck Loading/Unloading Rack -(onshore) -
Tank car and tank truck loading/unloading procedures should meet the
minimum requirements and regulations established by the Department of
Transportation.
v/here rack area drainage does not flov1 into a catchment basin
or treatment facility designed to handle spills, a quick drainage
system should be used for tank truck loading and unloading areas.
The containment system should be designed to hold at least maximum
capacity of any single compartment of a tank car or tank truck
loaded or unloaded in the plant.
An interlocked warning light or physical barrier system, or
warning signs, should be provided in loading/unloading areas to
prevent vehicular departure before complete disconnect of flexi-
ble or fixed transfer lines.
Prior to filling and departure of any tank car or tank truck,
the lowermost drain and all outlets of such vehicles should be
closely examined for leakage, and if necessary, tightened, adjusted,
or replaced to prevent liquid leakage while in transit .

Bulk Storage Tanks (onshore) Underground -Buried metallic storage
tanks represent a potential for undetected spills. A new buried
installation should be protected from corrosion by coatings, cathodic
protection or other effective methods compatible with local soil
conditions. Such buried tanks should at least be subjected to regular
pressure.testing.
Partially buried metallic tanks for the storage of oil should
be avoided, unless the buried section of the shell is adequately
coated, since partial burial in damp earth can cause rapid corrosion
of metallic surfaces, especially at the earth/air interface.
4. Inspections and Records -Inspections required by this part should
be i11 accordance with written procedures developed for the facility
by the owner or operator. These written procedures and a record of
the inspections, signed by the appropriate supervisor or inspector,
should be made part of the Spill Prevention Control and Counter-
measures Plan (SPCC) and maintained for a period of three years.
5. Security_ -/Ill plants handling, processing and storing oil should
be fully fenced, and entrance gates should be locked and/or guarded
when the plant is not in production or is unattended.
The master flow and drain valves and any other valves that will
permit direct outward flow of the tank's content to the surface
should be securely locked in the closed position when in non-operating
or non-standby status .
The starter control on all oil pumps should be locked in the "off"
position or located at a site accessible only to authorized personnel
when the pumps are in a non-operating or non-standby status.
The loading/unloading connections of oil pipelines should be
securely capped or blank flanged when not in service or standby
service for an extended time. This security practice should also
apply to pipelines that are emptied of liquid content either by
draining or by inert gas pressure.
Facility lighting should be commensurate with the type and
location of the facility. Consideration should be given to:
(A) Disccivery of spills occurring during hours of darkness,
both by operating personnel (the general public local
police, etc.)
(B) Prevention of spills occurring through acts of vandalism .

SPILL PREVENTION SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES:
l. All tanks comply with Underwriters Laboratories Construction
Specifications.
2. Main outlet valves are locked in the closed position when the
plant is unattended.
3. Venting capacity for all tanks is suitable for the fill and with-
drawal rates.
4. Liquid levels in tanks are determined daily.
5. Tanks are never left unattended during loading and unloading.
6. Signs are located at each tank to remind tank truck drivers to
close all valves before disconnecting hoses.
7. Tank trucks are unloaded by the drivers, in the presence of plant
personnel. Truck drivers must personally disconnect hoses to mini-
mize possibility of accidently driving away with a hose connected
to a tank.
8. The pumping of material from storage tanks is never done while the
plant is unattended.
9 . Daily visual inspections are made of all pipes, valves, pumps, and
tanks by the Plant Superintendent.
10. ~lonthly inspection reports are filed with the Corporate Offices by
the Plant Superintendent.
SPILL PREVENTION SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES:
l. Tanks #1, #2, #3, and #4 are located within a diked area with
dimensions of 29' x 78' x 1.5'. The holding capacity of this
diked area is approximately 25,000 gallons.and will easily con-
tain the contents of the largest storage tank in the area. The
dike will be equipped with a drain pipe closed by a valve that
will be normally locked in the closed position. The diked area
will only be drained in the presence of the Plant Superintendent
and a record will be kept of each draining .

2. At present, a creek passes through a 60 inch concrete pipe under
the property of Jadco Inc. This creek penetrates the property on
the southwest side and passes underground to its discharge point
which is northeast of the control building. To prevent any possi-
ability that this creek become contaminated by any action, the
creek will be relocated in such a manner which will totally pro-
tect the stream. The proposed new creek location is shown on the
enclosed figure l and will generally follow the fence line around
the southeast side of the property. The walls of the new creek
will be sloped in such a manner to minimize erosion.
3.
4.
Miscellaneous storage, in 55 gallon drums, is at present ~ispersed
throughout the entire plant property. Spill containment for this
miscellaneous storage will be accomplished as follows:
A. Construct permanent and temporary dikes as shown on figure l.
B. Transfer all 50 gallon drums presently located south of a
line extending from the main gate to the control building
to the temporary diked area north of the line .
C.
D.
Clean and landscape the cleared area.
Transfer all 55 gallon drums from the north area to the
cleared afea to the south. Stack drums in a concentrated
area .
E. Clean and landscape the north area. (For details see
Figure l).
The diked areas have a drain pipe with a valve that is normally locked
in the closed position. The dikes are to be drained in the presence of
the Plant Superintendent. A record will be kept of each time the dike
is drained,
5. The following equipment and materials are available on the plant
site to help clean up any oil spills:
Miscellaneous hand tools
Tanker trucks
Pumps

PERSONNEL TRAINING:
Owners or operators are responsible for properly instructing
their personnel in the operation and maintenance of equipment to
prevent the discharges of oil and applicable pollution control laws;·
rules and regulations.
Each applicable facility should have a designated person who is
accountable for oil spi 11 prevention and who reports to line manage-
ment.
Owners or operators should schedule and conduct spill prevention
briefings for their operating personnel at intervals frequent enough
to assure adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan for that facility.
Such briefings should highlight and describe known spills events or
failures, n~lfunctioning components, and recently developed pre-
cautionary measures.
All personnel at this plant have been instructed as to the
procedures outlined in this plan. Instruction has been held on Spill
Prevention and Containment and Retrieval Methods. Instructions and phone
numbers have been publicized and are posted in the Control Building.
Personnel have been briefed on the laws pertaining to oil spills, copies
of which are enclosed in Appendices II-VI. This plan is reviewed at
scheduled safety meetings (at least once a quarter) .

OIL POLLUTION PREVENTION

:n 161
Title 40-Protection of the Environment
CHAPTER I-ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY
SUBCHAPTER D-WATER PROGRAMS
PART 112-0IL POLLUTION PREVENTION
Non-transportation Related Onshore and
· Offshore Facilities
Notice of proposed rule making was
published on July 19, 1973, containing
propo.Scd regulations, required by an
pursuant to section 311(j)(l)(C) of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
a...s amended (86 Stat. 868, 33 U.S.C. 1251
ct seq.), (FWPCA), to prevent discharges
of oil into the navigable waters of the
United States and to contain such dis-
charges if they occur. The proposed reg-
ulations endeavor to prevent such spills
by establishing procedures, methods and
equipment requirements of owners or op-
erators of facilities engaged in drilling,
producing, gathering, storing, processing,
refining, trailsfeping, distributing, or
consuming oil. ·
Written comments on the proposed
rcgulatiohs were solicitccl and received
from· interested parties. In addition, a
number of ve1·bal comments on the i)ro-
posal were also received. The written
comments are on file at the Division of
Oil and Hazardous Materials. Office of
Water Program Operations, U.S. En-
vironlnental Protection Agency, Wash-
ington. D.C.
All of the comments have been given
careful consideration an-ct a number of
changes have been made in the regula-
tion. These changes incorporate either
suggestions made in the comments or
ideas initiated· by the suggestions.
Some co1riments reflected a misunder-
standing of the fundamental principles
. of the regulation, specifically as they ap-
plied to older facilities and marginal op-
erations. During the development of the
regulation it wa.s recognized that no
single design or operational standard can
be prescribed for all non-transportation
related fa.cilitici;, ::;incc the equipment
and operational procedures appropriate
for one facility may not be appropriate
for another because of factors such as
function. location, and age of each facil-
ity. Also, new facilities could achieve a
higher level of spill prevention than older
· facilities by the use of fail-safe dc::;ign
concepts and innovative spill prevention
methods and procedures. It was con-
cluded that older facilities and marginal
operations could develop strong spill con-_
tingency· plans and commit manpower,
oil contoinment devices and removal
equipment, to compen:--n.tc for inherent
wcakne.sses in the spill prevention plan.
Appropriate changes were made in the
regulation to simplify, clarify or correct
deficiencies in the proposal.
A discussion of these changes, section
by section follows:
A. Section 112.1-Gcneral applicabil-
it'JJ. Section 112.1 (b), the "forcsceabil-
it,y provision", contained in 112.l(d) (4)
wa..c; added to paragraph 112.1 (b). As
modified, the regulation applies to non-
transportaiion-rclated onshore and off-
shore fac_iliLtcs which, due to their loca-
RULES AND REGULATIONS
lion, could reasonably be expected to dis-
charge oil into or upon the navigable
waters of the United States or adjoining
shorelines.
Sections 112.l(b), 112.l(d) (4) and
112.3 are now consistent.
Section 112.l(d) (1) was expanded to
fmther clarify the respective authori-
ties of the Department of Transporta-
tion and the Environmental Protection
·Agency by referring to the Memorandum
of Understanding between the Secretary
of Transportation and the Administra-
tor of the Environmental Protection
Agency (Appendix).
Section 112.l(d) (2), the figure for
barrels was converted to gallons, a unit
of measure more familiar to the public,
and now reads "42000 gallons."
Section 112.l(d) (3), exemption for
facilities with nonburied tankage was
extended to 1320 gallons in aggregate
with no single tank larger than 660 gal-.
Ions and applies to all oils, not just heat-
ing oil and motor fuel. Tanks of 660
gallons are the normal domestic code size
for nonburied heating oil tanks. Build-
ings may have tWo such tanks. Facilitjes
containing-small quantities of oil other
than motor fuel or heating oil would
also be exempt, thus making this con-
sistent with the definition of oil in ~ 112.2 .
B. Scctioh. 112.2-Dcfinitions. Section
112.2(1), the term "navigable waters"
,vas expanded to the more descriptive
definition used by the National Pollutant
. Discharge Elim'ination System.
Section 112.2 (m), the U.S. Coast
Guatd definition of tile term "vessel" Was included. This term is used· in the
regulation and t.h~ definition is consist-
ent with the Department of Transpor-
tation regulations.
C. Section 112.3-Requirements for the
preparation and. implementation of spill
prevention control and countcnncasurc
plans. A new _paragraph (c) was added
to ~ 112.3 wliich applie.'i t.o mobile or port-
able f;.wili.ties subject to tlte regulaUon.
These facilities need not prepare a new
Spill Prevention Control and Counter-
measure Plan (SPCC Plan) each time the
facility is moved to a new site, but may
prepare a general plan, identifying good
spill prevention engineering practices ~a.c;
outlined in the guidelines, § 112.7), and
implement these practices at each new
location.
Section 112.3(a), (b) and (f) (which
was* 112.3(c) in the proposed rule mak-
ing) have been modified to allow exten-
sions of time beyond the normally speci-
fied periods tcr apply to the preparation
of plans a::; well as to t.heir implementa-
tion and to remove the time limitation
of one ycn,r for extensions. Extensions
may be allowed for whatever periocl of
time considered rea._c;onable by the Re-
gional Adminis!.rator.
Section 112.3(e) (which was ~ 112.3
<d) in the proposed rule making) wa..c;
modified to require the maintenance of
the SPCC ·Plan for inspection at the fa-
cility only if the facility was normally
manned. If the facility is unmanned, the
Plan may be kept at U1e nearest field
office.
Section 112.3(f) (1) (§ 112.31.e) (1) 1n
the proposed regulation) was changed t.o
include the nonavailability of qualified
personnel as a reason for the Regional
Administrator granting an extension of
time.
D. Section 112.4-Amendincnt of spill
prevention control and countermeasure
plaiis by Regional Administrator. Section
112.4(a) (11), permits the Regional Ad-
minisl.rator to require that the owner or
operator furnish additional information
to EPA after one or more spill event has
occurred. The change limits the request
for addit.ional information to that per-
tinent to the SPCC Plan or to the pollu-
tion incident.
Section 112.4 (b) now rends "Section
112.4 • • •", not "This subsection • • ...
Section 112.4(e) allowed the Regional
Administrator to require amendments
t-o SPCC Plans and .specifies t.hat the
amendment -must, be incorporated in the
Plan within 30 days unless the Regional
Administrator specifics an earlier ·errcc-
tivc date. The change allows the Regional
AdminiStrator to specify any appropri-
ate date that is reasonable.
Section 112.4(0'. A new§ 112.4(!) has
been added i.vhich provides for ai1 appeal
by an owner or operator from a decision
-rendered by the Regiohal Administrator
on an amendment lo an SPCC Plan. The
appeal is made to the Administrator of
EPA and the paragraph outlines the pro-
cedures for making such an rippcal.
E. Section 112 . .5-Amenclmcnt. of spill
prevention control and countermeasure
plans by owrwrs or operators. Section
112.S(b) required the owner or operator
to a.mend the SPCC Plan every three
years. The amendment required Lhe in-
corporation of any new. field-proven
technology and had to be certified by a
Professional Engineer.
The change reQuirc.s tlrnt the owner
or operator review the Plan every three
year:-to see if it needi; amcnctnwnt. New
tccilnology need be incorporated only if
it will sigriificantly reduce the likelihood
of a spill. The change will prevent friv-
olous retrofit.ting of equipment to fa,cili-
ties whose prevention plans arc working-
successfully, and 'will not require engi-
neering certification unless an amend-
ment is necessary.
Section 112.5(c), this parrigraph re-
quired that the owner or operator amend
his SPCC Plan when his facility bec.1 . .me
subject to § 112.4 (amendment by the
Regional Admini::;trn.tor). Tids para-
graph has been removed. It is inconsi.st-
ent to require the owner or operator to
independently amend the Plan while the
Rcgionn.l Administrnt.or is reviewing it
for possible amcmlmcnL.
P. Section 112.6-Civil penalties. There
arc no changes in this sect.Ion.
. G. Section 112.7-Guirlclincs for the
preparation and. implcmcntu/.ion of a
spill prevention control and countcr-
mca...mre plan. Numerous chaH~es have
been made in the guideline::; section; the
changes have been primarily:
1. To correct the use of· languar,e in-
consist-ent with guidelines. For examµle,
the word "shnll" has been clrn.nged to
"should" ln § 112.7(a) through (e).
FEDERAL REGISTER, VOL. 38, NO. 237-TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1973

2. To give the engineer preparing the
Plan greater latitude to use alternative
methods better suited to a given faclUty
or local ·conctltlons.
3. To cover facllitles subject to the reg-
ulation, but for which no guidelines were
previously given. TI11s category includes
such things ns mobile fac111tics, and drlll-
1ng and workover rigs. ~
In addition, wording wns changed to
differentiate between periodic observa-
tions by operating personnel and formal
inspections with attendant record keep-
ing. .
These regulations shall become effec-
tive January 10, 1974.

The SPCC Plan shall be a careful1y thought-out pla.n, prepared in accordance with good engineciing pm.dices, and which lms the full approval of manage·-ment at a level with authority to com-mit the necessn.ry resource(';. If the plan calls for additional facilities or proce-dures, methods, or equipment not yet fully operational, these items should be discussed in separnte paragraphs, and the details of installation and opera-tional start-up should be explained sep-arately. The complete SPCC Plan shall follow the sequence outlined below, and include n. discussion of the facility's con-formance with the apprciprin.te guidelines listed:
(a) A facility which hns expeiienced one or more spill events within twelve months prior t,o the effective date of this part should include a wrltLen descrip-tion of each such spill, concctive action ta~en and plans for preventing recurrence.
(bl Where experience indicates area-sonable potentin.l for equipment failure (su·ch as tank overflow, rupture,. or leak-
age), the plan should include a pre-diction of the direction, rate of Oow, and total quantity of oil which could be dis-charged from the facility ns a result of each major type of failure.
· (c) Appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment to prevent discharged oil from reaching a navigable water course sl1ouJd be pio-vided. One of the following preventive systems or it.<; equivalent should be used as a minimum:
( 1) Onshore fadli ties.
(i) Dikes, berms or retaining wa;tls sufficiently impervious to contain spilled oil
(ii) Curbing
(iii) Clllverting, gutters or other drainage systems
(iv) Weirs, booms or other barriers (v) Spill diversion ponds
<vD Retention ponds (vll) Sorbent materials
(2) Offshore facilities.
(i) Curbing, drip pans
(ii) Sumps and collection systems (d) When it is determined that the installation of structures or equipment
listed in§ 112.7(c\ to prevent discharged
oil from reaching the navigable waters
34167
is not practicab~e from nny onshore or offshore facility, the owner or operntor should clearly demonstrate such im-practicability and provide t.he follow-
ing:
(1) A strong oil spill contingency plnn following the provision of 40 CFR Part
109.
(2) A written commitment of man-power, equipment and mn.te1inls re-quired to expeditiously control and re-move any harmful quantity of oil dis-
charged.
(e) In addition to the minimail pre-vention standards listed under § 112.7 (c), sections of the Plan should include a complete discussion of conformance with the following applicable guidelines, other effective spill prevention and con-tainment procedW'es (or, if more strin-gent, with St.ate rules, regulations and guidelines):
(1) Facility drainage <onshore): (ex-cluding production facilities). (I) Drain-age from diked storage areas shou.ld be l"estrained by valves or other positive means to prevent a spill or other exces-
sive leakage of oil into the drainn.ge sys-tem or inplant effluent treatment sys-
tem, except where plan systems are de-signed to handle such leakage. Diked areas may be emptied by pumps or ejec-
tors; however, these should be manually activated and the condition of the accu-mulation should be examined before starting to be sure no oil will be dis-charged into the water.
(ii) Flapper-type drain valves should
not be used to drain diked areas. Valves used for the drainage of diked nren.s should, as far as practical, be of man-ual, open-and-closed deshm. When plant drainage drains directly into water courses and not lnio wa.stewat,cr
treatment plants, retained storm water should be inspected as provided In pnra-graph (e) (2) (iii) (B, C and D) before
drainage.
(iii) Pln.nt _drainage systems from un-
diked areas should, if possible, flow into ponds, lagoons or catchment basins. de-signed to ret.-iin oil or return it to the facility, Catchment basins should not be located in areas subject to pertodic flooding.
(iv) If plant drn.inage Is not en• gineered a.,; above, the final discharge of all in-plant ditches should be equipped wlth a diversion system thnt could, in the event of an uncontrolled spill, return
the oil lo the plant.
(v) Where drainage waters are treated in more than one treatment unit, nat-
ural hydraulic flow should be used. If pump tmnsfer is needed, two "lift"
pumps should be provided, and at least one of the pumps t-hould be permanently
installed when such treatment is con• tinuous. In any event, whatever tech-niques arc tLSed facility drainage systems should be adequately engineered to pre-vent oil from reaching navigable waters in the event of equipment-failure or
human error at the facility. ·
(2) Bulk storage tanks (onshore); (ex-
cluding production t'acilitics). (1) No

trmk should be used for the storage of
oil unless its material and constructlori
are compatible with the material stored·
and conditions of storage such as pres-
suro and temperature, etc.
00 All bulk storage tank installatlons
should be constructed so that a second-
ary means of containment is provided for
the entire content.c; of the largest single
tank plus sufilcient frecboard to allow
for precipitation. Diked areas should be
sufficiently impervious to cont.a.in spilled
oil. Dikes, containment curbs, and pits
nrc commonly employed for this purpose,
but, they may not alwitys be appropriate.
An alternative system could consist of a
complete drainage trench enclosure ar-
ranged so that a spill could terminate
ancl be safely confined in an in-plant
catchment basin or holding pond.
(iii) Drainage of rainwater from the
diked area into a storm drain or an efflu-
ent discharge that empties into an open
water course, lake, or pond, and bypass-
ing the in-plnnt treatment system may
be ru::ccptable if:
(A) The bypass valve is normally
sealed closed.
<B) Inspection of the run-off rain
water ensures compliance with appli-
cable water quality standards and will
not cause a harmful discharge as defined
in 40 CFR 110.
(C) The bypass valve is opened, and
rescaled following drninage under re-
sponsible supervision.
(D) Adequate records are kept of
such events.
(iv) Buried metallic storage tanks rep-
resent a potential for undetected spills .
A new buried installation should be pro-
tected from corrosion by coatings,
cnthodic protection or other effective
rnct,hods compatible with local soil con-
ditions. Such buried tanks should at least
be subjected to regular pressure tesUng.
(v) Partially buried metallic tanks for
the storage of oil should be avoided, un-
less tho buried section of the shell is ade-
quately coated, since partial burial in
damp earth can cause rapid con-osion of
metallic surfaces, especially at the earth/
air interface.
(vi) Aboveg-rnuncl lnnks should be
subject to periodic integrity testing, ta.k-
ing into account tank design (floating
roof, etc.) and using such techniques as
hydrostatic testing, visual inspection or a
system of non-destructive shell thickness
testing. Comparison records stJ.ould be
kept where appropriate. and .ta.nk sup-
ports and foundations should be in-
cluded in Uiese inspections. In addition,
the outside of the tank should fre-
quently be observed by operating person-
nel for sil'.!ns of deterioration, leaks
which might cause a spill, or accumula-
tion of oil inside diked area.,;.
(vii) To control leakage through de-
fective internal heating coils, the fol-
lowing factors should be considered and
armlied. as appropriate.
(A) The steam return or exhaust lines
from internal heating coils which dis-
charge into an open water course should
be monitored for contamitmlJ( · . or
passed through a settling tank, skimmer,
or other separation or retention system.
RULES AND nEGULATIONS
(B) The feasibUH:,r of installing an ex~
tcrnal heating•system should also be con-
sidered.
(vim New and old tank inst:.allations
should, as far as practical, be fail-safe
engineered or updated into a fail~safe
engineered installation to avoid spills.
Consideration should be given to provid-
ing one Or more of the following devices:
(A) High liquid level alarms with an
audible or visuaJ signal nt a constantly
manned operation or surveillance sta-
t'ion: in smaller plants an audible air
vent may suffice.
<B) Considering size and coriiplexity
of the fru::ility, high liquid level pump
cutoff deviceS set to stop flow at a pre-
determined tank content level.
(C) Direct audible or code signal com-
munication between the tank gauger and
the pwnptng st:.atlon.
(0) A fa.st response system for deter:..
mining the liquid level of each bulk stor-
age tank such as digital computers, tcle-
pulse. or direct vision gauges or their
equivalent.
(E) Liquid level sensing devices should
be regularly tested to insure proper
operation.
Ox) Plant cmuent.s which arc dis-
charged Into navigable waters should
havo disposal facilities observed fre-
quently enough to detect possible system
upsets that could cause an oil spill event.
(x> Visible oil leaks which result in a
loss of all from tonk scams, gaskets, rivets
and bolts sufficiently large to cause the
accumulation of oil in diked areas should
be promptly corrected.
(xl) Mobile or portable oil storage
tanks (onshore) should be positioned or
located so as to prevent spilled oil from
reaching navigable waters. A secondary
means of containment, such as dikes or
catchment tfa.sins, should be furnished
for the largest single compartment or
tank. These facilities should be located
where they will not be subject to periodic
flooding or washout.
(3) Facility transfer operations, pump-
ing, and in-plant process <onshore); (ex-
cluding production facilities). (i) Buried
piping installa.lions should have a pro-
tective wrapping and coating and should
be cn.thodically protected if soil condi-
tions warrant. If a section of buried line
is exposed for any rea..<:;on, it should be
carefully examined for deterioration. If
corrosion damar,e Is found, additional
examination and corrective action should
be taken as indicated by the magnitude
of the damage. An nlternative would he
the more frequent use of expo!-ied pipe
corridors or gnlleries.
(ii) When n pipeline is not in service,
or in standby service for an extended
time the terminal connection at the
transfer point should be capped or
blauk-flanged, and marked as t.o origin.
(iii) Pipe support.s should be properly
designed to minimize abrasion and cor-
rosion--and allow for expansion and con-
traction.
(iv) All aboveground valves and pipe-
lines should be subjected to regular ex-
aminations by operating personnel at
which time the general condition of
items, such as flange joints, expansion
Joints, valve glands and bodies, catch
pans, pipeline supports. locking of valves,
and metal surfaces should be assessed. In
addition, periodic pressure testing may
be warranted for piping in nreas where
facility drainage is such that a failure
might lead to a spill event.
(v) Vehicular traffic granted entry into
the facility should be warned verbally
.or by appropriate signs to be sw·c that
the vehicle, because of its size: will not
endanger above ground piping.
(4) Facility tank car and tank truck

(B) All tank battery and central treat-
ing plant installations should be provided
with a. secondary means of containment
for the entire contents of the largest sin-
gle tank if feasible, or alternate systems
such a.'> those outlined in§ 112.7(c) 0) .
Drainage from undiked areas s_hould be
safely confined in a catchment basin or
holding pond.
(Cl All tanks containing oil should be
visually examined hy a competent per-
son for condition and need for mainte-
nance on a scheduled periodic bru;is.
Such examhu1tion should include the
fotmdation and supports of tanks that
a.re above the surface of the ground.
(D> New and old tank battery installa-
tions should, as far as practicn.l, be fail-
safe engineered or updated into a fail-
safe engineered installation to prevent
spills. Com;ideration should be given to
one or more of the follo\\'1ng:
<1) Adequate· tank capacity to assure
tlrnt n. tank will not overfill should ·a
pmnper/gaugcw be delayed in making his
regular rounds.
(2J Overno·w equalizing lines between
tanks so.that a full tank can overflow to
an adjacent tank.
(3) Adequate vacuum protection to
prevent tank collaps·e during a pipeline
run .
C4) High level·sensors to generate and
tranmnit an alarm signal to the computer
where facilities are a part of a computer
production control system.
(iv) Facility transfer operations, oil
production facility (onshore). (A) All
above ground valves and pipelines should
be examined periodically on a scheduled
basis for general condition of items such
as flange joints, valve (.:"lands and bodies,
drip pans, ,1>ipeline supports, pumping
well polish rod stuffing boxes, bleeder and
gauge valves.
(B) Salt water (oil fleld brine) dis-
posal facilities should be examined often,
particularly following a sudden change in
atmosphe1ic temperature to detect po..'.-
siblc system upsets t.hat could cause an
oil discharge.
(C) Production facilities should have
a program of nowlinc maintenance to
prevent spills from this source. The pro4
gram should include periodic examina-
tions, corrosion· protection, tlowline re-
placement, and adequal,c records, ft..<; ap-
propriate, for the individual facility.
(6) Oil drilliru1 and workovcr facilities
<onshore) (i) MObiie drilling or workovcr
equipment should be positioned or lo-
cated so as to prevent 1,pilled oil from
reaching navigable waters.
(ii l Dcpen(!ing on the location, catch-
ment basins or diversion structures may
be necessary to intercept and contain
spills of fuel, crude oil, or oily drilling
1luicls.
( iii l Before clrillitH~ below any casing
string or during workover operations, a
blowout prevention <BOP) assembly and
well control system should be installed
tl1at is capable of controlling-any well
head pressure that is expected to be
encountered while tlmt BOP assembly is
on the well. Cnsing and BOP installations
should be in accorda11ce wi\.h Stat-c reg~
ulatory agency requirements.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
(7) Oil drillino, production, or work-
aver facilities (o1}shorc). (i) Definition:
"An oil.drilling, product.ion or workover
facility (otrshore)" may include all drill-
ing or workover equipment, wells, ftow-
lines, gathering lines, platforms, and
auxiliary nontrn.nsportaiion -related
equipment and facilities in a single geo-
graphical oil or ga.s field operated by a
single operator.
<iil Oil drainage collection equipment
should be used to prevent nncl control
small oil spillage around pumps, glands,
valves, flanges. expansion Joints, hoses,
drain lines, "'separators, treaters, tanks,
and allied equipment. Drains on the
facility should be controlled and directed
toward a central collection sump or
cqui\'alent collection system sufficient to
pre\'ent discharges of oil into the naviga-
ble ,vaters of the United States. Where
drains and sumps arc not practicable
oil contained in collection equipment
should be removed as often as necessary
to prevent overflmv.
(iii) For facilities employing a sump
system, sump and drains should be ade-
quately sized and a spare pump or equiv-
alent. method should be available to
remove liquid from the sump and a1,sure
that.. oil does not escape. A regular sched-
uled pre\·entive maintenance inspection
and testing program should be employed
to assure reliable operation of the liquid
removal system and pump start-up de-
vice. Redundant automatic sump pumps
and control devices may be required on
some installal..ions.
<iv) In areas where separntors and
tn;at.ers arc equipped with clump valves
whose predominant mode of failure is in
the closed position and pollution risk ls
high. the facility should be specially
equipped to prevent the esonpe of oil.
Thi1, could be accompJi.,:hed by extending
the flare line to a diked area if the scpn-
ratot is near shore, equipping it wit-h a
high liquid level sensor that will auto-
matically shut-in wells producing to the
separator, parallel redundant dump
valves, or other feasible alternatives to
prevent oil discharges.
(vl Atmospheric storage or surge tanks
should be equipped with high liquid level
sensing devices or other acceptable al-
ternatives to prevent oil discharges.
(vi) Pressure tanks should be equipped
with high nnd low pressure sensing de-
vices to acti\'ate an alarm and/or con-
trol the flow or at.her acceptable alterna-
tives to prevent oil cli1-;charges.
(vii) Tanks should be equipped with
suitable corrosion J>rot.ection.
(viiil A written procedure for inspect-
ing and testing pollution prevention
equipment ancl systems shoutd be pre-
pared and maintninecl at the facility.
Such proccdure1, should be included n.s
. part of the SPCC Plan.
(ix) Testing and inspection of the pol-
lution prevenllon equipment and syst-cms
at the facilit.y should be conducted by the
owner or operator on a scheduled peri-
odic basis commensurate with the com-
plexit.y, conditions and circumstances of
the facility or other appropriate regula-
tions.
:Htfi9
(x) Surface and subsurface well shut-·
in valves and d,evices in u.Se at the facil-
ity should be sufliciently described to
determine method of activat..ion or con-
trol, e.g., pressure different.in!, change in
. fluid or How condit..ions, combinatiou of
pressure and flow, manual or remote con-
trol mechanisms. Detailed records for
each well, while not necessarily pnrt of
the plan should be kept by the owner or
operutor.
(Xi) Before drilling below any casing
string. nnd during workover operations
a blowout preventer (BOP) assembly and
well control system should be installed
that i1, capable of controlling any well-
head pre1-;sure that is expected to be en-
countered while that BOP assembly is
on the well. Casing and BOP installations
should be in accordance with State reg-
ulnt0ry agency requirements.
(xiiJ Extraordinary well control meas-
ures should be provided should emer-
gency conditions, including fire, loss of
control and other abnormal c01ldil.1ons,
occur. The degree of control system re-
dundancy should vary with hazard ex-
posure and probable con.'.equences of
failure. It is recommended that surface
shut-in systems have redundant or "fail
close" valving. Subsurface safety valves
may not be needed in producing wells
that will not flow but should be installed
as required by applicable State regula-
tions.
(xiii) In orcler that there will be no
misunderstanding of joint and separate
dut..ies and obligations to perform work
in a safe and pollution free manner,
writ.ten instructions should be prepared
by the ownr.r or operator for contractors
and subcontractors to follow whenever
contract activities include servicing a
well or systems appurtenant to a well or
pressure vessel. Such instructions nnd
prncertures should be maintained at t.he
offshore production facility. Under cer•
t.ain circumstances and co1ldition1, such.
cont,rnctor activities may require the
presence at.. the facilit..y of an authorized
representative of the owner or operator
who would intervene when necessary to
prevent a spill event.
(xiv) All manifolds <headers) should
be equipped with check valves on indi-
vidual flowlines.
(xv) If the shut-in well pressure is
greater than the working pressure of the
fiowline and manifold valves up to nncl
including the header valves associated
\viLh that individual flowlinc. t.hc flow-
line should be equipped with a high pres-
sure sensing device and sllutin valve at
the wellhead unless provided with a pres-
sure relief system to prevent over pres-
suring .
(x\•i l All pipeline8 appurtenant to the
facilil,y should be protected from curro-
.sion, Mcl,hotls used. such as protective
coatings or cathodic protect.ion. should
be discussed.
(xvii> Suh-marine pipelines app1trten-
a11t. to the facility should be aclequately
protected against environ1nental st.resses
and other activities such as fishing
operations. (x•:_:\\t Sub-m!irine pipelines appurten-
ant to the facilit.y should be in good

oPerating condition at all times and in-
spected on a scheduled pc'riodlc basis for
failures. Such inspections should be
docunicnted and maintained at the
facility.
(8) Inspections and records. Inspec-
tions required by this part should be in
accordance with written procedures .de-
veloped for the facility by the owner or
operator. These wrttten procedures and
a record of the inspections, signed by the
appropriate supervisor or inspector,
should be made part of the SPCC Plan
and maintained for a period of three
years.
(9) Security < excluding oil production
facilities). (i) All plant.s handling, proc-
essing, and storing oil should be fully
fenced, and· entrance gates should be
locked and/or guarded when the plant
Is not in production Or is unattended.
OD The master flow and drain valves
nnd any other valves that will permit
· direct outward flow of the tank's con-
tent to the surface should be .securely
locked 1n the closecl. position when in
non-operating or non-standby status:
um The starter control on all oil
pumps should be locked In the "ofI"
position or lociated .at a site accessible
only to authorized personnel when the
pumps are,. in a non-operating or non-
standby status.
Uv) The loading/unloading connec-
tions of oil pipelines should be securely
cappr.d or blank-flanged when not in
service or standby service for an ex-
tended time. This security practice
should also apply to pipelines that are
emptied of liquid content either by
draining or by inert gas pressure.
(v) Facility Ughiing ·should be com·-
mensuratc with the type and location or
the facillty. Consideration should be
given to: (A> Discovery of spills oc-
cun-ing during hours of darkness, both .
by operating personnel, if present. nnd
by non-operating personnel (the gen-
eral public, local poUcc, etc.> and (B)
prevention of Spllls occurring through
nets of va.ndallsm.
(10) Personnel, training and spill
1>re1Jcntion procedure.,;, (i) Owners or op-
erators are responsible for properly in-
structing their personnel tn the operation
o.nd mnintcnnncc of equipment to pre-
vent the discharges of oil and npplicable
pollution control laws, rules and regula•
tions.
(ii)-Each applicable facility should
have a designated person who ls account-
able for oil spill prevention and who re-·
ports to line management.
(Hi) Owners or operators should
schedule and conduct spill prevcnt.lon
bricnn~s for their operating personnel
at Intervals frequent enough to n.s;uro
adequate. understanding or the SPCC
Plan for that !ac11lty. Such briefings
