MEASURES AND CONTROLS The most effective method to prevent pollution of surface water or ground water is to implement Best Management Practices (BMPs). BMPs are measures or practices used to reduce the amount of pollution entering surface water, air, land or ground water. BMPs may take the form of a process, activity or physical structure. There are three types of BMPs implemented at APCI industrial gas facilities: • Baseline BMPs • Advanced Generic BMPs • Advanced Site -Specific BMPs If a particular advanced BMP is implemented at this facility, the location where it is implemented is identified in Worksheet B2. For example, if the BMP described in Section 8.2.1 is implemented at a bulk storage container, the entry for the storage container in Worksheet B2 will identify "BMP 8.2.1 - Secondary Containment" in the BMP column of the worksheet. Any other applicable advanced BMPs should also be identified in Worksheet B2. Baseline BMPs will not be identified in Worksheet B2 since they generally apply to the entire facility and not necessarily to a specific source. 8.1 BASELINE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Baseline BMPs are general practices that apply to most industrial sites, independent of the types of materials used, processes employed, products manufactured, or site location. Baseline BMPs are relatively simple, inexpensive, and cost-effective because they emphasize prevention of pollution rather than treatment of pollutants. The baseline BMPs listed in Section 8.1 are employed across the entire facility and are not necessarily associated with any specific source of significant materials listed in Worksheet B2 of Appendix B. 8.1.1 GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Good housekeeping involves a common sense approach to improve and maintain a clean and orderly work environment by implementing the following practices: • Sweeping parking lots • Storing chemicals in a neat and orderly manner • Clean up discharges promptly • Regular refuse pickup and disposal • Good storage and material inventory practices, including labeling of all containers • Schedule routine cleanup efforts • Discuss and promote good housekeeping practices with employees 8.1.2 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE A preventive maintenance program is an effective BMP for preventing surface water or ground water pollution. A preventive maintenance program should include: • Timely inspection and maintenance of storm water management devices (e.g., cleaning oil/water separators, catch basins, etc.) Inspection and testing of facility equipment and systems to uncover conditions that could -9ttP cause breakdowns or failures resulting in discharges of pollutants to surface water and Lf N cS ©oo - CD3 a Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 Changes in Industrial Activities The facility is in the process of adding a HYDRA (Hydrogen transfill) OPERATIONS AREA. It is anticipated that the operations will commence early spring 2015. The area includes an approximate 42' x 75' (3150 ft2) area for tube trailer staging area; an 8'x10' (80 ft2) shed ; a 10'x 62' (620 ft2) dock; and a 10' x 36' (360 ft2) work area. Total area =4210 ft2 The area will be located in the southwest corner of the facility. Hazardous Materials and quantities stored in the area will be: a) 3 tube trailers of Hydrogen. Various liquids associated with tractor trailer operations will be used in the area (diesel fuel, hydraulic and crankcase oils, DEF fluid etc) in quantities commonly used in the vehicles while operational. No storage of materials supporting tractor trailer operations is anticipated in this area. The facility currently has a truck maintenance garage and has procedures and policies in place to handle emergencies and minor spills of oils etc. Hydrogen is a gas at ambient temperatures and will not impact stormwater. j J�J'Ay— N cS °pc> 03 o Z- 'Z- Zo (S" Air Products Internal Use Only STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION ERTIFICATION North Carolina Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources - Storm water Permitting Facility Name: Permit Number: Location Address County: A % (Z P C. 4 N c- 0o0030 Z L 5- t Qll Q- it 19 0 s v k9k t rV1 Z 7 3 Z%3 ?to c \%.,Kq h/i'vh C, ,1-4 A/' L "I certify, under penalty of law, that the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) document and all attachments were developed and implemented under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information required by the SPPP.

Release response and reporting procedures for this facility are described in more detail in Section 9. These procedures describe the following measures that will be implemented upon discovery of a significant release: • Access the risk • Control the release to the extent possible • Report the release to management and government agencies • Clean up the impacted area as soon as possible • Follow up with preventive measures 8.1.4 INSPECTIONS This facility is required to conduct a formal, documented inspection on a semiannual basis during the spring (April -June) and the fall (September -November) using a copy of Worksheet B2. Inspection criteria are listed in the instructions to Worksheet B2. In addition to documented inspections, regular observations of process and material storage areas are encouraged to ensure that discharges are detected and responded to as in a timely manner. Observations can be conducted during employees' regular "rounds" of the facility grounds and need not be formally documented. 8.1.5 OIL HANDLING PERSONNEL TRAINING Pollution prevention training for oil handling personnel must be held at least annually. Training must be documented in the facility's training database or in employee records located at the facility. Personnel are trained in the following areas, with drivers receiving awareness training: • Release Prevention, Reporting, and Response - a review of emergency procedures, communications, and reporting and cleanup techniques. • Pollution Prevention - a review of the purpose, goal, content, and regulatory requirements of this Plan, potential sources of oil pollution at the site, BMPs implemented at the site, and the role personnel fulfill in pollution prevention. • General facility operations • Operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent oil discharges • Corporate EH&S Training Package — entitled "Preventing Accidental Pollution of Surface Waters" • Discharge Briefings — a discussion of any known discharges or failures, malfunctioning components, and any recently developed precautionary measures. Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 15 Reidsville, NC Facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan 8.1.6 RECORDKEEPING AND INTERNAL REPORTING PROCEDURES Good record keeping and reporting procedures help to identify and communicate information about potential sources of surface water and ground water contamination and assure that appropriate measures are taken. This Plan includes procedures for recording incidents, such as spills or other discharges, along with other information describing the quality and quantity of potential pollution sources. All pertinent information regarding a discharge will be documented and records maintained for three years. Pollution prevention record keeping and reporting are integrated into current management systems and include: • The use of the Resource Management System (RMS) preventive maintenance system, or an equivalent system, for scheduling applicable preventive maintenance tasks and inspections. • Required reporting of discharges to Line Management, Field EH&S Specialist, and Corporate EH&S. • Recording of incidents via the APCI Incident Tracking System • The periodic review of significant safety and environmental issues or incidents and corrective action progress by a Line and Staff Management Safety Committee. 8.1.7 SPILL CLEANUP KITS AND MATERIALS Spill cleanup kits are maintained at the facility They are routinely inspected to keep them in good working order. These kits are composed of absorbent sheets, pillows and booms, as appropriate. In addition, sorbent materials such as oil-dri or vermiculite should be available at all times. Alkaline neutralizing kits or materials such as soda ash or lime should also be available onsite from a nearby chemical distributor, for those facilities that use sulfuric acid for cooling water treatment. Spill cleanup kits or materials are typically maintained within a reasonable distance of the following areas: • Truck fueling area and tractor staging/parking • Truck terminal • Air Separation Unit (ASU) compressor area/Air Separation Process • Maintenance buildings and storage areas • A dedicated spill kit on each truck tractor • Process equipment with liquid materials in service • Material loading and unloading areas 8.1.8 EMERGENCY RESPONSE CONTRACTORS In the event of a discharge, outside assistance for cleanup may be required. Worksheet B4 in Appendix B lists emergency response contractors located within a reasonable response time from this facility. The primary emergency response contractor has provided information regarding qualifications (availability of the necessary personnel and equipment within appropriate response time). Worksheet 1310 in Appendix B has been completed by the response contractor and has been inserted in the Plan. 8.1.9 EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND COMMUNICATIONS This facility shall have a Site Emergency Plan prepared in accordance with the Gases and Equipment Group (GEG) EH&S Procedure 01.08.02, "Site Emergency Planning". Additionally, GEG EH&S Procedures 01.08.05.A.M., "Crisis Management" and 01.08.16.A.M., "HAZWOPER" Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 16 Reidsville, NC Facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan address emergency preparedness. These procedures can be found in the GEG Worldwide Operations and Distribution Manual. 8.1.10 SECURITY This facility is completed surrounded by a security fence. Access to the site is controlled through a main gate. Entry through this gate can be made only by a security access code or through permission received from the Control Room. Storage containers, secondary containment systems, process areas and piping systems are confined within the fence line. The area is lighted and is subject to typical facility security measures, including restricted vehicular traffic. 8.2 ADVANCED GENERIC BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Advanced generic BMPs are generic measures or practices that are employed to address specific sources, materials, or activities that may be present at the facility. They include generic prevention, containment, and mitigation practices that can be applied to specific sources (e.g., fueling stations) commonly found at APCI industrial gas facilities. Section 8.2 provides a reference list of generic BMPs that may be used at industrial gas facilities. Those source -specific BMPs that are actually implemented at this facility, and the locations where they are implemented, are listed in Worksheet B2 of Appendix B. 8.2.1 SECONDARY CONTAINMENT Secondary containment systems are effective in controlling discharges. To be most effective, secondary containment systems and diversionary structures should meet the following standards: • The systems block possible routes by which discharged materials could reasonably be expected to flow, migrate, or escape into surface waters or upon the land from within the containment areas. Manually operated valves are normally in a closed position and locked. • The secondary containment systems have sufficient capacity to contain the largest probable discharge that could occur in the containment area plus an additional capacity to compensate for anticipated normal accumulation of rainwater. • The secondary containment system is sufficiently impermeable to contain discharged material for a duration necessary for the cleanup or recovery of the discharged substance. • The secondary containment system is routinely inspected for accumulated liquids, debris, or incompatible materials. • No transfer area, curbed storage area, or secondary containment system is drained into a watercourse or public sewage treatment plant unless provision is made to retain, by secured valves or other means, any accumulated rainwater until its condition can be determined. Adequate records are to be kept for discharges of uncontaminated rainwater. • No incompatible materials are stored within the same containment area. 8.2.2 LOADING AND UNLOADING OPERATIONS The following measures are key to preventing the release of significant materials during transfer operations: Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 17 Reidsville, NC Facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan • Training - Prevention of the release of materials during transfer operation is accomplished through implementing procedures discussed during personnel training programs, regular safety meetings, and briefings. • Vehicle positioning - Whenever possible, vehicles should be positioned within spill containment areas during transfer. Positioning near or over storm drains or sewer drains should be avoided. Wheel blocks and emergency brakes should be used to avoid sudden movement of the vehicle. If the vehicle is positioned near a traffic corridor, traffic barriers should be placed to avoid collisions. • Pre -positioning of spill kits, booms, or sewer block mats - If secondary containment is not available during loading or unloading, spill kits must be readily available and spill mats or booms should be pre -positioned to seal any nearby catch basins that could lead directly to surface water or sewer systems. The discharge diversionary measure should be capable of containing the maximum capacity of a single compartment of the vehicle being loaded or unloaded. • Pre -inspection of connections, fittings, and hoses - Prior to each transfer operation, connections, hoses, gaskets and fittings must be checked to ensure they are in good working condition. Loading and unloading areas must be well illuminated if material transfer occurs at night. • Drip pans - Drip pans or buckets must be used to catch small volume leakage from transfer hoses or fittings during transfer operations. Captured materials should be reused or properly disposed. • Overfill prevention - During a delivery, tank truck operators must be instructed to remain with the vehicle along with at least one qualified facility employee. Before a delivery, the liquid level in the receiving container is checked. Employee training procedures include instructing operators not to leave the delivery area prior to checking and disconnecting the transfer line. Prior to material transfer, qualified facility personnel and the driver are instructed to: ♦ Predetermine the maximum volume of material that can be transferred without overfilling the container. ♦ Check the liquid level in the container(s) during transfer to avoid overfilling the container. • Prior to departure — Qualified personnel and the driver are instructed to: ♦ Inspect the area for any sign of discharge. Control, report and clean up discharges immediately. ♦ Ensure that all outlets from both the delivery vehicle and container have been tightened, adjusted, or replaced to prevent a discharge. 8.2.3 ABOVEGROUND BULK STORAGE CONTAINERS The following practices should be implemented for aboveground bulk storage containers (specifically aboveground tanks): • All pipes leading to and from aboveground bulk storage container(s) that enter the container(s) below liquid level are equipped with valves sufficiently close to the container so as to prevent the contents of a container from escaping the confines of the secondary containment area in the event of a pipe rupture outside of the containment area. Any valves Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 18 Reidsville, NC Facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan that permit the direct outward flow of container contents are kept in the closed position when in non -operating or standby status. • In heavy traffic areas, protective guards or bollards should be placed around tanks and piping to prevent vehicle or forklift damage. Piping runs are above standard truck height and behind barriers. • Containers, associated valves and piping should be clearly labeled to reduce human error. • Containers are compatible with the material stored and the conditions of storage. • Containers, associated piping, supports, and foundations must be routinely inspected for integrity. Integrity testing is any means to measure the strength of the container shell and may include leak testing to determine whether the container will discharge oil. Visual testing in conjunction with another method of testing is required. Monthly visual inspections alone might suffice in accordance with the deviation provision in section 112.7(a)(2), subject to good engineering practice if : 0 Internal corrosion poses minimal risk 0 Visual inspections conducted at least monthly 0 All sides are visible, and 0 Containers have no contact with the ground • Containers in contact with the ground must be evaluated for integrity in accordance with industry standards and good engineering practice. 8.2.4 FUELING STATIONS The following practices should be implemented at fueling stations: • Avoid topping off - To minimize overfilling of truck fuel tanks, special fill procedures must be followed to ensure that there is adequate room for expansion of cooler diesel fuel drawn from underground tanks when it is placed in the truck saddle tanks and cryogenic delivery pump engines. Hot summer weather greatly increases the potential for overflow of vehicle fuel tanks that have been overfilled. To avoid this condition, the fuel tank should not be filled above the neck on the fuel tank. • Avoid unattended filling - When refueling vehicles, the driver must hold the fuel nozzle in hand during the entire refueling operation, even if the fuel nozzle has an automatic shutoff device. • Avoid hosing down - Cleaning the fueling area with running water should be avoided because the wash water will pick up fuel, oil and grease. Use dry clean-up methods whenever possible. Control and clean up petroleum discharges immediately. • Keep spill kits accessible - An adequate supply of spill kit materials should be available before fueling vehicle. Control, report and clean up petroleum discharges immediately. • Minimize storm water run-on - Minimize storm water run-on to the fueling area through flow diversion around the fueling station and using roofs over the fueling area when feasible. Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 19 Reidsville, NC Facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan 8.2.5 VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR Many vehicle and equipment maintenance operations use materials that can be harmful to the environment. The following practices should be followed at vehicle and equipment maintenance operations to reduce or eliminate potential sources of pollution: • Parts washing - Clean without using liquids (e.g., scraper, wire brush) whenever possible. Do all liquid cleaning at a centralized station so solvents and residues stay in one area. • Use nontoxic or low toxicity solvents - Minimize the number and volume of hazardous materials used. Avoid chlorinated solvents. Choose cleaning agents that can be recycled. • Control discharges - Collect leaking fluids in drip pans. Keep a drip pan under the vehicle while unclipping hoses, unscrewing filters, or removing parts. Control discharges from wrecked or damaged equipment that may be stored outdoors. Promptly transfer used fluids to proper waste or recycling containers. Do not leave full drip pans lying around. • Drain oil filters - Used oil filters disposed of in trash cans can leak oil and contaminate surface water. Place used oil filters in a funnel over the waste oil recycling or disposal collection tank to drain excess oil before disposal. Whenever possible, crush and recycle oil filters. • Never pour liquid wastes into drains or onto the ground - Do not pour liquid waste to floor drains, sinks, outdoor storm drains, or sewer connections. • Recycle materials - Whenever possible, recycle degreasers, used oil and oil fillers, antifreeze, cleaning solutions, automotive batteries, hydraulic fluid and tires. • Segregate and label wastes - Separating wastes allows easier recycling and may reduce treatment costs. Locate waste and recycling containers in clearly marked and controlled areas. 8.2.6 VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT WASHING Washing vehicles and equipment outdoors or in areas where wash water can flow onto the ground can pollute surface waters or ground waters. Wash water can contain high concentrations of oil and grease, phosphates, and suspended solids. To reduce or eliminate these potential sources of pollution: • Use designated cleaning areas only. Wash water is regulated as a process waste water. It can only be discharged to a properly permitted sanitary sewer or process sewer line. • If a permitted sewer line is not available, wash water should be collected in bermed areas or sumps for offsite disposal. • As an alternative, offeite commercial washing facilities can be used. 8.2.7 WASTE MANAGEMENT AREAS Wastes discharged, leaked or lost from waste management areas may build up in soils or be carried away by rainfall. To reduce the potential for pollution, the following practices should be implemented: • Minimize the amount of waste managed on -site. Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 20 Reidsville, NC Facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan • Prevent run-off and run-on from contacting waste management areas. • Keep waste containers closed or securely covered. 8.2.8 TRANSFORMERS The following practices should be implemented in transformer yard areas: • Transformers should be inspected periodically for evidence of discharges. • Discharges must be cleaned up as soon as possible. • Adequate spill kit materials should be available to prevent a discharge from reaching a waterway. 8.2.9 OILIWATER SEPARATORS The following practices should be implemented to assure proper operation of an oil/water separator unit: • The level of oil captured in the unit should be routinely monitored and removed by a properly permitted used oil vendor. • Any associated oil skimmers should be checked for proper operation. • The waste water effluent from the unit should be routinely observed or monitored to determine if the unit is functioning properly. • The unit should be periodically cleaned to remove accumulated solids on the bottom of the unit and on any coalescing plates. • Discharges must be cleaned up as soon as possible. • The discharge of solids and detergents to the oil/water separator should be minimized. 8.2.10 GREASE TRAPS AND GRIT CHAMBERS The following practices should be implemented to assure proper operation of grease traps and grit chambers: • The levels of accumulated oil and solids should be routinely monitored and removed for proper disposal. • Any associated oil skimmers should be checked for proper operation. • The waste water effluent from the unit should be routinely observed or monitored to determine if the unit is functioning properly. • Discharges must be cleaned up as soon as possible. 8.2.11 DRUMS AND BULK CONTAINER STORAGE AREAS The following practices must be implemented at drum and bulk container ("drums") storage areas: • The contents of all drums must be properly identified by a label. Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 21 Reidsville, NC Facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan • Drums that are stored in a horizontal position must be tightly sealed to avoid seepage through the bung. Drip pans should be placed beneath horizontal drums that have a dispensing valve installed. • Drums should be kept closed except when material is being added or withdrawn. • For drums stored outdoors, drums caps must be used to avoid accumulated rainwater on the top lip of the drum causing contamination of the product. Outdoor drums must be stored off of the ground to prevent bottom corrosion and possible leakage from the drum. Wooden pallets may be used if an impervious surface is not available. • Drums should be neatly stored with sufficient access and aisle space. • Because empty drums often contain residual product, they must be managed according to the practices listed above, unless they have been thoroughly cleaned. • Leaking drums must be immediately moved to a containment area, placed in a salvage drum, plugged, or the contents transferred into another drum. Discharged product must be cleaned up immediately. • Drums must be routinely inspected for integrity. Integrity testing is any means to measure the strength of the container shell and may include leak testing to determine whether the container will discharge oil. Visual testing in conjunction with another method of testing is required. Monthly visual inspections alone might suffice in accordance with the deviation provision in section 112.7(a)(2), subject to good engineering practice if: 0 Internal corrosion poses minimal risk 0 Visual inspections conducted at least monthly 0 All sides visible and/or drum storage area is located away from vehicular traffic, and where discharges would be visible would not readily enter into a waterway conveyance (i.e. surface water, sewer system) 0 Containers have no contact with the ground • Containers in contact with the ground must be evaluated for integrity in accordance with industry standards and good engineering practice. 8.2.12 SEDIMENT AND EROSION PREVENTION The following practices should be implemented in areas of high soil erosion potential or during construction periods: • Preserve existing vegetation or revegetate disturbed soil areas. • Stabilize stream banks. • Install interceptor dikes and swales. • Use fabric filler fences around disturbed areas. • Maintain storm water retention/detention ponds in good operating condition. 8.2.13 SARA 313 WATER PRIORITY CHEMICALS Facilities subject to reporting under SARA Section 313 for water priority chemicals may be required to implement special BMPs for storm water pollution prevention. Any applicable, special BMPs are further described in Sections 10.5.2.through 10.5.7. They must be implemented in areas where storm water can come in contact with SARA Section 313 water priority chemicals. Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 22 Reidsville, NC Facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan 8.3 ADVANCED SITE SPECIFIC BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Advanced site -specific BMPs are measures or practices that are implemented at specific locations at this facility. They include such BMPs for oil/water separators, bulk storage containers, operating and electrical equipment, or underground storage tank leak detection monitoring. Any deviations from the SPCC requirements will be documented, explaining the nonconformance and providing equivalent environmental protection by some other means. Examples may include measures for containment or diversionary structures and integrity testing. Site -specific BMPs implemented at this facility are described in Section 8.3 and the locations where they are implemented are identified in Worksheet B2 of Appendix B. 8.3.1 TRUCK FUEL UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK SYSTEM The truck fuel underground storage tank system consists of two 10,000 gallon diesel fuel underground storage tanks (USTs), submersible pumps with underground pressurized piping, leak detection system, spill and overfill prevention devices, and an associated fuel dispensing island. The tanks were installed in 1992. The red jacket pump for the diesel oil system is equipped with an automatic line leak detector flow restrictor that dramatically cuts the flow through the piping when the unit senses a leak. The double walled fiberglass piping has an interstitial leak detection monitor in the form of a piping sensor. Tank Level Monitorina Svstem The ATG is a Veeder-Root TLS-350 equipped with a continuous statistical leak detection (CSLD) tank level monitoring system. The system includes a sensing probe in the tank and a remote monitor with printer. The system provides continuous monitoring of product level, water level, and product temperature. Whenever the fueling system is idle, the TLS-350 collects data and performs a statistical analysis to detect leaks as small as 0.2 gallons per hour. There is no need to shut down the fueling system for the leak detection test. Leak tests are constantly being performed, and test results are automatically provided every 24-hour period, or on demand from the console printer. In addition to serving as a leak detection device, the Veeder-Root TLS-350 level monitor also serves as a high level alarm. A red alarm light is remotely mounted at the fueling island to indicate an overfill condition. Spill Containment and Overfill Protection To prevent surface spills and tank overfills, each tank is equipped with a catchment basin, overfill alarm, and automatic shutoff device. The catchment basin is an OPW 1 Spill Container with 5 gallons capacity. A manual drain in the spill container can be used to drain spilled product back into the tank. If water is present, the spill container will be manually bailed out. An OPW 61-SO two -stage overfill prevention valve serves as both an overfill alarm and automatic shutoff device. The first stage alerts the transfer operator by reducing the flow rate to approximately 2 to 5 gallons per minute through a bypass valve. The second stage will completely cut off flow into the tank by closing the bypass valve if the level approaches a critical overfill condition. The valve resets itself when the tank level drops below the critical level.

(See Section 8.3.3) Dispensing Systom The fuel dispenser is mounted on a Total Containment dispenser sump to contain any spills or leaks from the dispenser or associated piping. It serves as a termination point for the double - walled fiberglass piping from the submersible sump pump to the fuel dispenser. 8.3.2 HEATING OIL UST The Heating oil tank was installed in 1992 and is a 2,500 gallon UST with a submersible pump with pressurized piping. 8.3.3 OILY WATER CONTROL SYSTEM 8.3.3.1 POLLUTANT SOURCES Contaminated rainwater run-off from the foundations of the following equipment discharges to the oil/water separator for treatment prior to discharge from the facility: • Truck Fueling Station (See Section 8.3.1) • 1CP-K111 Main Air Compressor, Motor, Lube Oil System (665 gals.) • 1CP-K301/321 Recycle/Make-up LOS (565 gals.) • 1CS-T361 Compander (250 gals) • 01.16F Main Air Compressor (300 gals) • 01.30F Recycle (300 gals) • 01.46F Recycle (1,000 gals) • 01.14A Compander (450 gals) In addition, the washwater from the truck wash area (1,170 square feet) is collected and discharges to the oil/water separator. Any oil or grease picked up by the washwater would be removed in the oil/water separator before discharging to the sanitary sewer for off -site treatment. 8.3.3.2 OILIWATER SEPARATOR The oil/water separator is designed to handle 100 gallons per minute (gpm) of wastewater flow. The oil/water separator has a maximum oil storage capacity of 2,500 gallons and will act as a containment device to capture accidental oil discharges occurring at the equipment. After oil is removed in the oil/water separator, the effluent is discharged to the sanitary sewer. The oil/water separator is installed underground inside a concrete vault. This vault serves as a secondary containment device to capture any oil discharge from the separator. Any leakage from Rev.:3, Date: 03/16/2010 24 Reidsville, NC Facility Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan the unit is unlikely. In the event of a small leakage into the concrete vault, sorbent materials shall be used to clean up the oil. The concrete vault should be monitored weekly to check for any leakage of oil. Oil will periodically be removed from the side -oil storage reservoir for proper disposal in compliance with environmental regulations. Any small spills related to a waste oil vendor pumping the stored oil from the oil/water separator would be cleaned up using sorbent materials. A large spill could be prevented from reaching a storm drain through the use of oil booms. 8.3.4 COOLING WATER TREATMENT BUILDING A small building adjacent to the cooling tower houses a small tank and drums of water treatment chemicals. Floor drains that lead to the sanitary sewer should be plugged under normal conditions. Major discharges of water treatment chemicals should be recovered and reused in the cooling tower. The majority of these treatment chemicals do not contain petroleum products or oils and are not required to be covered by this SPCC Plan. 8.3.5 ABOVEGROUND BULK STORAGE OIL CONTAINERS 8.3.5.1 SHOP FABRICATED TANKS There is a 375 gallon double -walled aboveground storage tank for temporary storage of used motor oil from the routine maintenance of the truck fleet. This tank is located outdoors at the west end of truck garage bay. This tank was installed in 1992. The container is a lube cube oil container and is UL 142 listed and meets fire code requirements, including NFPA 30 for flammable and combustible liquid storage. The double -walled container is UL listed as integral secondary containment and therefore does not require a dike for leak containment. The welds of the primary container are continuous, and the material of construction is ASTM A- 569 or A-36 carbon steel. The primary container is pressure tested in the factory to UL 142 specs (3 PSI). The primary tank exterior is painted with one coat of shop primer. There is a minimum of 2 support feet. The secondary (double -wall) container is UL 142 listed, and welds are continuous. The double - wall provides a minimum of 110% secondary containment. The exterior and portion of the exposed primary container is painted with one coat of shop primer. The secondary containment is tank pressure tested at the factory to UL 142 specs. *** BMP must include discussion on integrity testing (i.e. explain why monthly visual inspection are sufficient) and if any additional secondary containment provisions must be implemented. 8.3.5.2 OIL DRUMS Oil containers are of carbon steel construction. The tight -head unlined drums meet UN packaging standards (UN 1A1/Y1.8/300) for shipping of hazardous materials and are ambient air tested to reject leaking containers. Two expanded rolling hoops provide freight utilization and vacuum resistance. Surfaces are prepared for optimum paint adhesion and are tested for resistance to heat and abrasion, color stability, impact and corrosion resistance.
