UWSP SPCC Plan – What is It? 5-year review cycle by DNR updated 2014 Fully supported by UWSA and UW-Stevens Point Administration & Engineering Describes sources of spill potential – 50,000 gallons on campus, 100 Locations Maintenance, Power Plant, across campus Types: AST, fuel, used vegetable oil, generators, storage, & disposal

SPCC Plan Contents Describes: Facility & Operations Site Maps Oil sources – tanks & equipment Site Drainage Spill Prevention Measures Discharge Reaction Measures

SPCC Plan – Key Purposes Prevention: Eliminate, reduce and minimize the loss of oil (diesel/fuel oil, used vegetable oil, lubricating oils, or hydraulic oils) to “navigable waters” Response: Clean Up - Not all spills are reportable, but all spills must be cleaned up Sustainability: Avoid the loss of resources, fines, injuries to personnel, reputation, or environmental damage; only rain water may go into a storm sewer.

Preventing Spills Inspections: as-used, monthly, quarterly, and periodic integrity testing Safe & sound work practices Filling storage containers no more than 90% full (allow for liquid expansion) Keep spill containment equipment fully stocked and immediately available! If any spill kit material is used, notify your supervisor to have kit restocked.

What Is An Oil “Spill”? Any amount of oil that produces a sheen on water and/or threatens navigable water, including drainage ditches 1 gallon or more of flammable liquid onto unpaved ground 5 gallons or more of combustible liquid onto unpaved ground All spills must be cleaned up – some have to be reported to WI Emergency Management or EPA

Source Examples – M/M, Stien Bldg 20,000 gallon back up tank Power Plant Diesel generators, power sources, storage areas, inside buildings Transformers next to buildings WPS Transformers (not part of our SPCC) Remember: Inside floor and trench drains lead to sanitary sewer.

Where Does A Spill Go? All city storm drains eventually empty into the Wisconsin River. They may go to Moses Creek which runs under campus. Other environments, such as Schmeekle Reserve, could be contaminated. Spills may need to be reported to the city or DNR, which we want to avoid.

Responding To A Spill Absorbent booms, socks & pads to collect spilled material & keep it from getting to unpaved ground or to drains. Act carefully and quickly. Call Protective Services, 715-346-3456 and Emergency Spill Coordinator, EHS Officer @ 715-346-2320 ASAP to report the spill Alternate Emergency Contact, Risk Management, 715-346-4464 After containment, absorbents must be disposed as hazardous waste.

Spill Response Containers Different sizes -depending on location Different absorbent materials Inspection Tag on each container: TBD

Spill Response Containers Each container will be labeled as to the location of where they will be kept.

Spill Kit Contents Depending upon the location, amount of oil spill potential the types and amounts of spill materials can vary. Materials could include: Oil absorb Absorbent Socks Absorbent Pillows (Large or Small) Absorbent Blankets

Summary Emergency Planning is Required Know what to do – be prepared – be careful Know who to call SPCC is Required Avoid loss of oil – plan ahead to avoid spills Clean up all spills – report all reportable spills Annual training is mandatory for oil-handlers Don’t hesitate to ask questions – get answers There is always time for safety!
