3 Oil SPCC is a US EPA Clean Water Act regulation (40 CFR Part 112) The intent of the regulation is to prevent oil spills from impacting the waters (ground water and waterways) of the United States. Oil (per EPA) = Any and all oils including food oils, petroleum, nonpetroleum, etc. The regulation applies to facilities which have a potential to discharge oil to navigable waters and exceed a certain oil storage capacity (i.e. aboveground storage of >1320 gallons of oil). The regulation is applicable to containers, tanks, devices, etc. with an oil storage capacity of 55 gallons or more (i.e. 1 quart containers are exempt).

4 Review Question #1 EPA s SPCC regulation applies only to food oil. TRUE FALSE

5 Review Question The Correct Answer is: False EPA s SPCC regulation applies to any and all types of oil including food oil, petroleum-based oils, gasoline, etc.

6 Applicability of Oil SPCC at SU SU has >1320 gallons of oil stored in aboveground containers (i.e. oil tanks, drums, transformers, etc.). SU has potential for spills of oil to reach water. Examples: - Spill of oil that reaches a storm drain that discharges directly to a body of water (i.e. S. Campus storm drains discharge directly to Meadowbrook Creek). - Spill of oil that reaches a floor/storm drain that goes to the county sewer system during a heavy precipitation event. During heavy precipitation events the County occasionally has to discharge untreated wastewater to Onondaga Lake and its tributary creeks. SU Environmental Health and Safety Services Office (EHSS) provides SPCC compliance guidance to the SU community.

7 Since Oil SPCC Regulation is Applicable at SU, SU must: Have SPCC Plan(s) for its applicable facilities. SU Facilities with SPCC Plans: Main Campus Steam Station South Campus Physical Plant and Commissary SPCC plans must identify Types & quantities of oil at the facility and oil storage locations Potential spill pathways (i.e. which drains will be impacted if a container releases its oil) Oil spill prevention measures (i.e. container containment, inspections, staff training, etc.) Oil spill response protocols and contact #s

8 Since Oil SPCC Regulation is Applicable at SU, SU must: Provide secondary containment for oil containers and oil filled devices/equipment that are > 55 gallons in capacity. Containment must be large enough to contain 110% of the capacity of the primary container. Containment Pallets Double Wall Container Provide annual training for oil handling personnel.

9 Review Question The SPCC regulation mandates that oil storage containers and oil containing devices/equipment with an oil storage capacity of 55 gallons or more must be provided with secondary containment. TRUE FALSE

10 Review Question The Correct Answer is: True The SPCC regulation mandates that containers and equipment/devices with an oil storage capacity of 55 gallons or more must be provided with appropriate secondary containment. However, as a best management practice all containers and equipment containing oil should be provided with secondary containment whenever possible.

11 Since Oil SPCC Regulation is Applicable at SU, SU must: Appropriately respond to releases of oil. SU EHSS must be notified of all releases of oil to the environment (i.e. soil, water, containment unit, etc.). SU EHSS will provide direction/oversight on oil spill clean-up and make necessary regulatory notifications. US Environmental Protection Agency: SU EHSS must notify the US EPA of any release of oil (including food oil) that reaches a body of water. NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation: SU EHSS must notify NYS DEC of releases of petroleumbased oils to the environment.

12 SU Food Services Workers Must: Handle and store oil in a manner to prevent spills and leaks Avoid storing oil in the immediate vicinity of a drain Provide secondary containment for all containers of oil 55 gallons or greater (including fryer waste oil) Inspect oil storage containers at least monthly to ensure they are not bulging, rusting or degrading in any manner Notify SU Environmental Health and Safety Services (EHSS) of new or modified oil storage containers (> 55 gallon capacity) Notify EHSS of any new oil storage location

13 SU Food Services Workers Must: Respond appropriately to oil spills, leaks or releases Oil Spill Response Protocol 1. Identify source of oil spill, leak or release and terminate flow if possible. 2. Cover and/or protect floor drains and storm drains in the area. - Use spill pads, absorbents, speedi-dry, etc. 3. Contain and begin to clean up the spill and contact your supervisor. 4. Contact EHSS (or, after 5 PM, SU Public Safety) if oil has been released to the environment (i.e. soil, drains, etc.).

14 SU Food Services Workers Must: Clean out secondary containment devices 1. Periodically inspect secondary containment devices for accumulated debris or precipitation. 2. If debris/liquid is present in containment device, inspect the debris/liquid for the presence of an oily sheen. 3. If an oily sheen is visible - Contact EHSS. The accumulated precipitation/debris will need to be collected for proper disposal. 4. If no oily sheen is visible Remove the debris from the containment device or open the release valve and drain out the accumulated precipitation. Re-seal the release valve. Keep an adequate record of the drainage event location, date, time, appearance of accumulated precipitation, etc. Complete an annual SPCC compliance training.

15 Review Question Oil spills and leaks which result in a release to a drain or the outside environment must be immediately contained and/or cleaned up, and reported to your supervisor and EHSS. TRUE FALSE

16 Review Question The Correct Answer is: True All oil spills and leaks must be contained and cleaned up immediately, and your supervisor must be notified. If the oil spill has reached or is likely to reach a drain or the environment (i.e. soil), it must also be reported to EHSS.
