SECTION 3: REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES
Location Site Map
Center of Plant S1
Center of Plant S2
A summary of the regulations and guidelines to the above mentioned problem
areas are as follows:
1. Bulk storage containers (onshore facilities, excluding production facilities)
Do not use a container 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.
Construct all bulk storage tank installations (except mobile refuelers and other non -
transportation -related tank trucks) so that you provide a secondary means of
containment for the entire capacity of the largest single container and sufficient
freeboard to contain precipitation. You must ensure that diked areas are sufficiently
impervious to contain discharged oil. Dikes, containment curbs, and pits are commonly
employed for this purpose. You may also use an alternative system consisting of a
drainage trench enclosure that must be arranged so that any discharge will terminate
and be safely confined in a facility catchment basin or holding pond.
Do not allow drainage of uncontaminated rainwater from the diked area into a storm
drain or discharge of an effluent into an open watercourse, lake, or pond, bypassing the
facility treatment system unless you:
A. Normally keep the bypass valve sealed closed.
B. Inspect the retained rainwater to ensure that its presence will not cause a discharge
as described in 40 CFR 112.1(b).
C. Open the bypass valve and reseal it following drainage under responsible
supervision.
D. Keep adequate records of such events.

Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures Plan (SPCC)
Barnhill Contracting, Co. — 841 Sungro Drive
2. Facility tank car & tank truck loading/unloading rack (excl offshore facilities)
Where loading/unloading rack drainage does not flow into a catchment basin or
treatment facility designed to handle discharges, use a quick drainage system for tank
car or tank truck loading/unloading racks. You must design any containment system to
hold at least the maximum capacity of any single compartment of a tank car or tank
truck loaded or unloaded at the facility.
Provide an interlocked warning light or physical barrier system, warning signs, wheel
chocks or vehicle brake interlock system in the area adjacent to a loading/unloading
rack, to prevent vehicles from departing before complete disconnection of flexible or
fixed oil transfer lines.
Prior to filling and departure of any tank car or tank truck, closely inspect for discharges
the lowermost drain and all outlets of such vehicles, and if necessary, ensure that they
are tightened, adjusted, or replaced to prevent liquid discharge while in transit.
3. Inspections and Records
Inspections required by this part should be in 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 a part of the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan (SPCC) and
maintained for a period of three years.
4. Security
All 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 outflow of
the tank's contents 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 and 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 capped or blank flanged
when not in service or standby service for an extended time. This security practice

Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures Plan (SPCC)
Barnhill Contracting, Co. — 841 Sungro Drive
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. Discovery of spills occurring during hours of darkness both by operating personnel,
the general public, local police, etc.
B. Prevention of spills through acts of vandalism.
5. Plan Amendment—SPCC Plans must be amended whenever any of the
following criteria occur:
A. A change in facility design, construction, operation or maintenance occurs which
materially affects the facility's oil spill potential.
B. A review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan determines technology is available which
will significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill event and such technology has been
field proven at the time of review.
C. The EPA Regional Administrator, as the result of a review of the SPCC Plan following
an oil spill, may require the amendment of a SPCC Plan. 40 CFR 112.4 gives more
specific requirements and schedules which the Regional Administrator may impose.
All amendments to a SPCC Plan must be certified be a Registered Professional Engineer.
6. Periodic Review
SPCC Plans must be reviewed at a time interval of no more than three years from the
latest review/ amendment. The plan must be amended within six months of the review
if changes are required. If no changes are required, a date of signature by the reviewer
on the review certification sheet is adequate. The reviewer is not required to be a
Registered Professional Engineer.
7. Spill Reporting Procedures
Notwithstanding compliance with 40 CFR 112.3, whenever the facility has discharged
more than 1,000 U.S. gallons of oil in a single discharge as described in 40 CFR 112.1(b),
or discharged more than 42 U.S. gallons of oil in each of two discharges as described in
40 CFR 112.1(b), occurring within any twelve month period, a report must be submitted
to the EPA Regional Administrator within 60 days. The report must contain information
as listed in 40 CFR 112.4 (1-9).

SECTION 4: SPILL REVENTION SYSTEM AND PROCEDURES
1. All tanks comply with Underwriter's Laboratories Construction Specifications.
2. Main outlet valves are locked in the closed position when plant is unattended.
3. Venting capacity for the tanks is suitable for the fill and withdrawal rates.
4. Liquid levels in tanks are determined daily using dip sticks.
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 minimize the possibility of accidently driving away with
hose connected to tank.
8. 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. Monthly inspection reports are filed with the Corporate Offices by the Plant
Superintendent.
11. Main power switches for all pumps, located in a locked building are off when the plant is
unattended.
12. Gate is locked when plant is not in operation.
SECTION 5: SPILL CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT
1. The Heating Oil tank contains 20,000 gallons of fuel oil. The tank is self-contained and has
sufficient volume to contain any spillage from this tank.
2. The AC -20 Liquid Asphalt Tank contains 30,000 gallons of liquid asphalt. It does not require
containment.
3. The following equipment and materials are available on-site to aid in clean-up of any oil
spills:
Front —end Loader Bulldozers
Pan Scrapers Trucks
Motor Graders Sand
Hay Miscellaneous Hand Tools

SECTION 6: PERSONNEL TRAINING
Owners and Operators are responsible for properly instructing their personnel in the operation
and maintenance of equipment to prevent the discharge of oil and applicable pollution control
laws, rules and regulations.
Each applicable facility should have a designated person who is accountable for oil spill
prevention and who reports to line management.
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 spill events or failures,
malfunctioning components, and recently developed precautionary 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 manufacturing
area. Personnel have been briefed on the laws pertaining to oil spills, copies of which are
enclosed in Appendix B. This plan is reviewed at scheduled safety meetings (at least once a
quarter).
