Containers <55 gallons not included in storage tally

2. SPCC Plans
Should reduce the physical and environmental hazards from storage & distribution of oil to navigable waters
Should be preventative rather than reactive
Should be updated every 5 years or when Plan changes
Note: Includes petroleum and non-petroleum oils (i.e. animal fats)

Plan Implementation
INSPECTIONS & TESTING
ROUTINE EQUIPMENT CHECKS
Maintenance Staff familiar with the storage tanks and their operation should make the following weekly checks of oil storage areas (i.e. any area storing >55 gallons) as part of routine observations or preventive maintenance procedures:
Check secondary containment for damage and integrity (will not leak);
Check tanks, foundations and supports for obvious signs of leakage, distortion, or other damage; and
Check piping systems, particularly at connections for obvious signs of leakage.
Note: Any problems observed must be reported to the SPCC Coordinator or designee

24. Plan Implementation INSPECTIONS & TESTING FORMAL INSPECTIONS
An SPCC inspection program has been designed to insure continued integrity of all oil storage and handling equipment. Inspections of all oil and used oil storage areas are conducted quarterly and/or annually in accordance with the schedule and requirements included in Table 2 of the plan. Records of inspections are to be signed by the inspector and maintained for at least three (3) years. Any problem detected during a formal inspection requires immediate notification of the SPCC Coordinator.
Quarterly Inspections
Annual Inspections

25. SPILL CLEANUP SUPPLIES

COMMENTS
GENERAL
Has there been any change in facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance since the last inspection? If yes, update the SPCC plan accordingly.
Is there any new petroleum bulk storage at the DUMC?
SPILL CLEANUP SUPPLIES
Are the Spill Kits located in the areas identified in Section 5?
Do the kits contain the items identified in Section 5 at a minimum?
TANKER UNLOADING
Are procedures in place to ensure a trained employee is present for the entire filling operation?
