8 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan 2.0 INTRODUCTION The (UCSB) has developed this Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan in accordance with the provisions of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112 (40 CFR 112), Oil Pollution Prevention, and the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 6.67, Section 25270, which is also referred to as the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA). In response to accidental releases of oil that occurred in the late 1980s and that caused extensive pollution of the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania and Alaska s Prince William Sound, the federal government enacted the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) that mandated the establishment of procedures, methods, equipment, and other requirements to prevent the discharge of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines. As the administering agency, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires the preparation of an SPCC Plan by any facility that: Gathers, stores, processes, transfers, distributes, uses, or consumes oil and oil products, which due to its location, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil in quantities that may be harmful into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines. Contains any aboveground container, any container in a vault which is considered an aboveground storage container, any operating equipment that have a capacity of greater than 1,320 gallons individually or in the aggregate. Accordingly, since the aggregation of aboveground oil storage containers on the UCSB campus that exceed 55 gallons capacity is greater than the 1,320 gallon threshold and given the University s proximity to navigable waters of the United States, this plan is required by both federal and California regulations. 2.1 PURPOSE The objectives of this SPCC are to define the spill prevention, control, and countermeasures implemented by UCSB Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) Department for the UCSB facility. The SPCC is an integral part in establishing an efficient and effective spill prevention program. The SPCC Plan addresses the following topics: Applicability. General Management Guidelines. Bulk Storage Tanks. Integrity and Tightness Testing. Maintenance. Inspection Requirements. Secondary Containment. Requirements for Tank Truck Loading/Unloading Racks. Management of Facility Transfer Operations and Equipment. Overfill Protection. Storage Facility Drainage. Security. Contingency Planning. 4

9 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan Personnel Training. SPCC Plan Review and Amendments. 2.2 SPCC PLAN ORGANIZATION This SPCC Plan contains a description of the oil storage facilities on the UCSB campus and the containment and countermeasure safeguards and procedures that are in effect to prevent an accidental release of oil in harmful quantities, as defined in 40 CFR and 112.1(b), into the navigable waters of the United States. Table 2-1, Required Elements of the SPCC Plan, lists the required elements and their location within this Plan. Where experience indicates a reasonable potential for an equipment failure (such as tank overflow, rupture, or leakage), 40 CFR 112.7(b) requires that the SPCC Plan include a prediction of the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil that could be discharged. Based on a review of past spill events, the potential for equipment failure that would result in a discharge of oil in quantities that are potentially harmful to the public health or welfare or to the environment as defined in 40 CFR has not been established at the UCSB campus. Paragraph 40 CFR (i) requires that it is necessary to take appropriate action if a field-constructed aboveground container undergoes an alteration that might affect the risk of a discharge due to brittle fracture. There are no field-constructed tanks on the UCSB campus; therefore, the requirement for evaluating the potential for brittle fracture is not applicable. 2.3 REGULATORY BACKGROUND Under the Clean Water Act, the Oil Pollution Prevention regulation or 40 CFR 112, requires facilities that have an aboveground oil storage capacity of greater than 1,320 gallons and/or an underground storage capacity of greater than 42,000 gallons to prepare and implement a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. The regulation applies to UCSB due to the existence of oil containing aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) on the installation with a capacity, individually or in the aggregate, of more than 1,320 gallons and the legally expanded definitions that have evolved for the terms navigable waters and discharge of oil in such quantities as may be harmful. Paragraph 40 CFR requires that a written SPCC Plan, in accordance with good engineering practice, be prepared that has the full approval of management at the level of authority to commit the necessary resources to fully implement it. In addition, the SPCC Plan must include a complete discussion regarding conformance with EPA guidelines such as: Control of drainage from diked and undiked storage areas. Integrity of bulk storage tanks and associated secondary containment to include failsafe engineering and periodic integrity testing. Periodic examination by operating personnel of piping integrity to include flange joints, expansion joints, pipeline supports, and metal surfaces. Compliance of tank truck loading procedures with applicable Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. Written inspection procedures and records of inspection, which must be maintained for three years. Security of storage tanks and associated master flow and drain valves. Training of personnel in spill prevention procedures. 5

12 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan Oil Spill Contingency Plan As detailed by 40 CFR 112.7(a)(5)(b), a supplemental oil spill contingency plan and a written commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials to remove spilled oil are required if a facility demonstrates that containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment as listed above are not practicable. The is not required to prepare such a supplemental oil spill contingency plan because secondary containment is provided for those containers that by virtue of their size and/or location otherwise pose a risk of a harmful release of oil into the navigable waters of the United States. Policies and procedures relating to spill prevention and response are contained in the UCSB Emergency Response Plan, which is incorporated into this SPCC Plan by reference. Facility Response Plan The requirement for a Facility Response Plan (FRP) per the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and 40 CFR does not apply at UCSB. The FRP is required for facilities that (1) transfer oil over water to or from vessels and that have a total oil storage capacity greater than or equal to 42,000 gallons or (2) that have a total oil capacity greater than or equal to one million gallons. The University does not transfer oil over water and the total oil storage capacity on campus does not exceed one million gallons. California Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act In California, the Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act (APSA), which was adopted in 1989, regulates facilities with aboveground storage of crude oil and its fractions and requires the reporting of certain releases of oil into the environment. Specifically, this APSA requires owners/operators of aboveground petroleum storage facilities to (1) file a storage statement; (2) remit a fee every year to the Santa Barbara County Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA); and (3) prepare and implement an SPCC Plan in accordance with 40 CFR

13 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan 3.0 UCSB OVERVIEW 3.1 SETTING Campus Description The Santa Barbara campus is one of ten UC campuses governed by the Regents of the University of California and is an internationally recognized public teaching and research institution. Approximately 20,000 students attend the University and the faculty consists of 1,054 members, with support from 3,631 staff members. The campus facilities include, but are not limited to, housing, food services, lecture halls/classrooms, science and research laboratories, aquarium/marine science laboratories, athletic fields, aquatics/swimming pool, grounds maintenance facility, and parking facilities. The 1,055-acre (approximately 1.6-square-mile) University is located on the South Coast of Santa Barbara County, California, as shown in Appendix A Maps, Figure A-1 and Figure A-2. Property included within the boundaries of UC Santa Barbara is divided into four principal campuses, as shown in Appendix A Maps, Figure A-3: 1. Main Campus (422 acres), comprising the academic, administrative, service departments, dormitories, and natural areas such as the Campus Lagoon; 2. Storke Campus (184 acres), which includes additional athletic and service facilities, student housing, a construction area which will yield San Clemente housing (scheduled for completion in 2008, with a possible addition before 2025 [UC Santa Barbara 2008]), and natural areas such as Storke Campus Wetlands; 3. West Campus (273 acres), which includes faculty housing, the Child Care Center, West Campus Stables, Santa Catalina dormitories, and natural areas such as Devereux Slough (part of Coal Oil Point Natural Reserve, an ecological reserve that is one of 32 such sites located throughout California and included within the University of California Natural Reserve System); and 4. North Campus (174 acres), which is a mostly open space and surrounds the Ocean Meadows Golf Course but will also include the proposed Sierra Madre Housing and Faculty Housing. A joint proposal for a comprehensive planning approach to resolve land use and environmental conflicts in the North Campus Ellwood-Devereux Coast is currently being reviewed. This Joint Proposal would provide for the protection of sensitive environmental resources while allowing reasonable development. This proposal is a collaborative effort by the City of Goleta, UC Santa Barbara, and County of Santa Barbara. The owner of record is the University of California Regents, 300 Lakeside Drive, Oakland, CA The operator of record is UCSB Facilities Management, Santa Barbara, CA As indicated by the campus map at Appendix A Maps, Figure A-4, most of the campus is heavily developed, and the topography tends to generally slope towards the Pacific Ocean and the UCSB Lagoon. Storm water runoff is managed on the UCSB campus by a municipally separate storm sewer system (MS4) that discharges into local waterways. The preparation of a comprehensive map of the UCSB storm water conveyance system has been identified as a best management practice (BMP) in the University s Storm Water Management Plan. 9

14 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan Topography The Santa Ynez Mountains are oriented in an east/west direction north of the university, which lies on a coastal mesa and adjacent lowlands that form the Goleta Valley. Numerous drainages extend from the mountains to the Pacific Ocean, south of the University. The topography slopes in a southern direction towards bluffs above the Pacific Ocean. Land Use Past and planned land use for the 2006/2007 school year and the 2025/2026 school year are listed in Table 3-1, Summaries of UCSB Land Use. In addition, Figure 3-1, Land Use on UCSB Campus in 2007, illustrates the land uses as of 2007 on the UC Santa Barbara Campus.

Temperatures range from average low of 40 degrees Fahrenheit in December to an average high of 79 degrees Fahrenheit in September. The lowest temperature recorded was 20 degrees Fahrenheit in December The highest temperature recorded was 109 degrees Fahrenheit in July 1985 and again in June Precipitation usually occurs in the late fall, through the winter, and into the early spring, with the majority of rain occurring from November to April. The summer is generally dry; however some precipitation may occur from fog, which is common during the summer months. The average annual precipitation is inches. Surface Waters and Hydrology UC Santa Barbara is located within in the 240,720 acre South Coast Hydrologic Area (3153), which is made up of small, coastal watersheds (Central Coast Ambient Monitoring Program [CCAMP] 2007). The UC Santa Barbara campus comprises approximately 0.4 percent of the Hydrologic Area. 10

16 UC Santa Barbara is situated on a promontory, Goleta Point, which is bordered by four surface water bodies: Devereux Slough, Goleta Slough, Campus Lagoon, the Pacific Ocean, and the Storke Wetlands. In considering whether a facility may affect navigable waters of the United States or the adjoining shoreline, the EPA only considers location and geography. The EPA does not consider man-made features such as dikes, equipment or other structures intended to contain or divert a spill from reaching navigable waters or the shoreline. In addition, applicable EPA determinations and court rulings have broadly interpreted the definition of navigable waters to include most natural surface waters in or bounding the United States. Consistent with applicable regulatory definitions and associated court rulings, navigable waters that could be impacted by an oil spill on the UCSB campus include, but are not limited to, the following: Devereux Slough The Devereux Slough is located on the West Campus and is managed by the University of California s Coal Oil Point Reserve. The 45-acre slough receives discharges primarily from Devereux Creek and its tributaries which encompass a 2,240-acre watershed. Land uses in the watershed include agriculture/open space in the upper reaches and residential/commercial in the lower areas. The Slough discharges to the Pacific Ocean via a tidal channel breach (a sand bar temporarily disconnects the slough and the ocean) (UC Santa Barbara 2008). Storke Wetlands The Storke Wetlands comprise approximately 20 acres along the northern perimeter of the Storke Campus. The Storke Wetlands watershed covers 347 acres and includes the northern portion of Isla Vista, the Storke Campus, and a narrow portion of the City of Goleta adjacent to Tecolotito Creek. The wetlands discharge to Goleta Slough (UC Santa Barbara 2008). Goleta Slough The 430-acre Goleta Slough comprises freshwater wetlands and tidal marsh. It is located north of and adjacent to the Main Campus. The slough receives discharges from UC Santa Barbara s Storke Campus, north-facing bluffs, and More Mesa, as well as from seven creeks within the 45 square mile watershed: Atascadero, Las Vegas, Los Carneros, Maria Ygnacio, San Jose, San Pedro, and Tecolotito. Land use in the watershed is primarily open space, but the portions nearest the slough are developed and a large portion of the slough itself has been filled and subsequently developed. The slough generally discharges to the Pacific Ocean; however, sedimentation from upland sources and littoral drift frequently prohibits discharges, which limits tidal flushing and lowers oxygen levels in the slough waters (UC Santa Barbara 2008). Campus Lagoon The Campus Lagoon is a manmade 31-acre brackish pond located in the southern portion of the Main Campus adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. The water level in the lagoon is maintained between 4 and 7 feet above sea level by an overflow weir at the western end, outfall at the eastern end, and series of berms. However, the lagoon is potentially subject to tidal and wave action which could result in unexpected draining. The lagoon s watershed comprises approximately half of UC Santa Barbara s Main Campus, which includes open space and bluffs at the lagoon perimeter. The primary source of water supporting the lagoon is the seawater discharged from the UC Santa Barbara Marine Science Laboratories. The lagoon also receives stormwater runoff from the University, which contributes substantial amounts of water to the system during rain events (UC Santa Barbara 2008). 12

17 3.2 UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS AND COORDINATION Implementation of this SPCC must be coordinated among several University departments. Dedicated efforts stem from the Director of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) and EH&S staff, Facilities Management (FM), Transportation and Parking Services (TPS), the Director and staff of the Housing and Residential Services Department (HRS), and the Budget and Planning Department (B&P). The Program will be managed by EH&S with support from the FM, HRS, and TPS. Contact information for those directly involved in the implementation and planning is provided in Table 3-2, UCSB Staff Contacts (Area Code 805). The main contact is Stacey Callaway, Environmental Compliance Specialist in EH&S and her phone number is (805) LEGAL AUTHORITY AND ENFORCEMENT In order to carry on its work of teaching, research, and public service, the University has an obligation to maintain conditions under which the work of the University can go forward freely, in accordance with the highest standards of quality, institutional integrity, and freedom of expression, with full recognition by the University community. UC Santa Barbara campus regulations address the rights and responsibilities of members of the University community and provide campus-wide standards for implementing regulations as a means of sustaining this community. UC Santa Barbara is committed to enforcing the SPCC, campus regulations, and policies. The University of California system is governed by a 26-member board known as The Regents, as established under Article IX, Section 9 of the California Constitution. The UC Santa Barbara Chancellor is appointed by the Board of Regents. The Chancellor is responsible for the organization and operation of the campus [and] its internal administration and has the ability to delegate authority to various university departments (University of California 1969). Various departments at UC Santa Barbara have been organized to effectively implement and oversee implementation of the University s educational and business related objectives. To adequately protect natural resources throughout the campus, various departments have established policies for its protection and are ultimately responsible for assuring adherence to those policies. The UC Santa Barbara Design and Construction Services (D&CS) Department is responsible for inspecting all construction sites and facilitating any enforcement actions that may result. Physical Facilities (PF) is responsible for inspecting UC Santa Barbara educational and industrial facilities, both on and off campus. Housing and Residential Services (HRS) is responsible for inspecting existing UC Santa Barbara residential facilities, both on and off campus. Whenever suspect activity has been reported in residential areas of campus, the reports are investigated within 24 hours. The Office of Campus Planning and Design is responsible for physical planning, environmental assessment, regulatory approvals, community planning, and long range development planning. The Long Range Development Plan, which defines a number of policies for new development and redevelopment projects, is prepared by this office. In addition, they are responsible for assuring adherence to such policies. The UC Santa Barbara Campus Police Department has statewide jurisdiction under Section of the California Penal Code. Campus Police operates 24-hours a day throughout the year. Coordination will occur between UC Santa Barbara departments and Campus Police to enforce existing and future water protection policies. 13

19 4.0 OIL STORAGE FACILITIES Oil, which is defined in federal and California regulations to include oil of any kind or in any form, is stored at a number of locations on the UCSB campus in containers having a capacity that exceeds 55 gallons. For convenience of reference, oil storage on the campus has been divided into three categories in this SPCC Plan: 1. Aboveground fuel oil storage tanks, to include the storage of waste oil for recycling. 2. Oil containing equipment, to include transformers and hydraulic systems. 3. Waste cooking oils derived from animal, vegetable, and seed sources. Underground oil storage tanks, which are not subject to the provisions of 40 CFR 112 because they are subject to 40 CFR 180, are noted for completeness. As of the date of this plan, there have been no reportable spills per the criteria defined in 40 CFR and 112.1(b). The total oil storage capacity for campus is listed in Table 4-1, Total Storage Capacity. Table 4-1 Total Storage Capacity Total Aboveground Storage Capacity # Gallons Total Completely Buried Storage Capacity # Gallons Facility Total Oil Storage Capacity # Gallons 4.1 ABOVEGROUND FUEL OIL STORAGE Motor vehicle and generator fuels on the UCSB campus are typically stored in aboveground, doublewalled, shop-constructed tanks or, in the case for generators, in associated belly tanks. The household hazardous waste collection program operated by UCSB utilizes a 500 gallon storage tank to accumulate waste oils, while vehicle maintenance and marine service facilities use 55 gallon drums to store used oil while awaiting pick-up by a recycling firm. There are no field-constructed tanks on the UCSB campus. The inventory of aboveground storage tanks on the UCSB campus is provided in Table 4-2, Inventory of Aboveground Oil Storage Tanks. A more detailed description of the larger storage tanks, which albeit remote pose the highest potential for a release of oil in quantities that could be harmful to the navigable waters of the United States, is provided in the following paragraphs. Engineering II Diesel Storage Tank (Building 503) A single-walled, fiberglass 550 gallon diesel storage tank, which supplies an adjacent generator, is located in the Engineering II compound near Building 503. Appendix B, Bulk Oil Storage Tank Diagrams and Photographs includes a diagram of this tank at Figure B-1 and associated photographs are at Figure B-2. The tank is strapped to 18 inch concrete footings and an 18 inch high wall that surrounds the tank 15

EH&S Household Waste Oil Storage Tank (Building 565) A 500 gallon waste oil storage tank, which is used in support of the household hazardous waste collection program that is operated on behalf of Santa Barbara County, is located in the Environmental Health and Safety compound adjacent to Building 565. Appendix B, Bulk Oil Storage Tank Diagram and Photographs includes a diagram of this tank at Figure B-7 and associated photographs are at Figure B-8. The tank is of a ConVault design with a steel primary tank and a concrete outer shell that provides secondary containment. The entire service area in which the tank is located is bermed and sloped toward a stormwater collection sump that is equipped with a manual drain valve; the latter is maintained in the closed position. The tank is configured with a fill gauge and overfill protection. Commodity is transferred into the tank manually using small quantity (typically, less than two gallon) containers. An oil-recycling contractor removes the waste oil from the tank. Operable fire extinguishers, an emergency eyewash and deluge shower, and spill cleanup and absorbent materials are available in close proximity to the tank. A security fence surrounds the compound and adjacent lighting illuminates the vicinity of the tank. Biosciences II Diesel Storage Tank (Building 571) A 2,000 gallon diesel storage tank, which feeds a generator day tank, is located in the Bio Sciences II compound near Building 571. Appendix B, Bulk Oil Storage Tank Diagram and Photographs includes a diagram of this tank at Figure B-9 and associated photographs are at Figure B-10. The tank is of a ConVault design with a steel primary tank and a concrete outer shell that provides secondary containment. An 8 foot high concrete wall provides security and a measure of tertiary containment. 19

24 Emergency Generator Diesel Storage Tank (Building 585) A 2,000 gallon diesel storage tank, which is used to fuel an emergency generator, is located adjacent to Building 585. Appendix B, Bulk Oil Storage Tank Diagram and Photographs includes a diagram of this tank at Figure B-11 and associated photographs are at Figure B-12. The tank is of a ConVault design with a steel primary tank and a concrete outer shell that provides secondary containment. The tank is configured with a leak detection tube. A concrete block wall provides security and a measure of tertiary containment. There is some illumination of the tank from lighting on the adjacent building. Facilities Management Gasoline Storage Tank (Building 595) A 6,000 gallon gasoline storage tank, which is used for refueling UCSB vehicles, is located in the Facilities Management compound near Building 595. Appendix B, Bulk Oil Storage Tank Diagram and Photographs includes a diagram of this tank at Figure B-13 and associated photographs are at Figure B- 14. The tank is of a ConVault design with a steel primary tank and a concrete outer shell that provides secondary containment. Operable fire extinguishers, an emergency eyewash and deluge shower, and spill cleanup and absorbent materials are available in close proximity to the tank. A security fence surrounds the compound in which the tank is situated, and the vicinity of the tank is illuminated by means of a spotlight; the tank fill access is locked. 4.2 OIL-CONTAINING EQUIPMENT Oil-filled equipment on the UCSB Campus that is subject to the provisions of 40 CFR 112 typically comprises hydraulic elevator systems; an inventory of these systems is included in Table 4-2, Inventory of Hydraulic Elevators. All of the elevators are configured with concrete pits and blind sumps; consequently, the potential for a release of oil in harmful quantities into the navigable waters of the United States as defined by 40 CFR and 40 CFR 112.1(b) is considered extremely unlikely. 4.3 WASTE COOKING OIL STORAGE Waste cooking oils generated by UCen Dining Services and by the large dormitory dining facilities are stored in 55 gallon drums prior to pick up by a recycling contractor. Specifically, waste cooking oil is accumulated in two 55 gallon drums at each of the four dining commons: Carrillo Dining Commons, De La Guerra, Ortega Dining Commons, and Portola Dining Commons. Given the limited storage of this type of cooking oil at scattered locations around the UCSB campus, the potential for a release of such oil in harmful quantities into the navigable waters of the United States as defined by 40 CFR and 40 CFR 112.1(b) is considered extremely unlikely. Currently, there are no provisions in place for providing secondary containment of the drums used to store such cooking oils. However, this plan does include a recommendation to provide secondary containment for the storage of waste cooking oils. 4.4 UNDERGROUND FUEL OIL STORAGE The two remaining underground storage tanks on the UCSB campus have been removed. At one time they were used to store diesel fuel and were located in the EH&S compound and the Physical Sciences Building North. 20

28 5.0 COMPLIANCE APPROACH 5.1 APPLICABILITY This SPCC Plan is effective upon approval of the director of the Environmental Health and Safety department at. This SPCC Plan applies to the management of all oil-containing aboveground storage tanks, drums, equipment, and other containers owned or leased by UCSB that have a capacity of 55 gallons or more. The department director responsible for the operation and maintenance of an oil storage vessel is the person accountable for spill prevention for that facility per 40 CFR 112.7(f)(2). The director of EH&S is the designated individual responsible for the general management of the oil spill prevention program on the UCSB campus. 5.2 GENERAL MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES The management of bulk oil storage tanks, oil-containing equipment, and waste cooking oils on the UCSB campus must ensure compliance with federal and California regulatory requirements as summarized in Section 2.3 of this SPCC Plan. The office responsible for ensuring that an oil storage tank subject to the provisions of 40 CFR 112, Oil Pollution Prevention, is managed, configured, and equipped in accordance with this SPCC Plan will be that office so designated in Table 4-1, Inventory of Aboveground Oil Storage Tanks. Each oil storage tank on the UCSB campus must be specifically assigned to a UCSB office that will be responsible for ensuring the tank complies with applicable requirements of 40 CFR 112 and this SPCC Plan. Normally, the responsible office will be that office that maintains, replenishes, and operates the storage tank. If tank compliance with this SPCC Plan is effected through a contractor, the office that awarded the contract must ensure that contractual mechanisms are in place so that compliance status can be routinely and regularly verified. It is important to remember that responsibilities required by law or regulation cannot be changed by contract and that UCSB may be liable for an operator s or contractor s failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations. If a responsible office cannot be determined for a particular oil storage tank then EH&S will assume responsibility for the tank and will initiate closure actions in accordance with applicable federal and California regulations if necessary. Any oil storage tank or item of oil-containing equipment that is found to be leaking will be immediately removed from service pending repair or replacement by the responsible office. Any tank subject to this SPCC Plan that is found to be leaking will be immediately reported to EH&S, which will in turn notify regulatory agencies as required per applicable federal and California regulations. Offices responsible for storage tanks subject to this SPCC Plan will ensure that a review of the compliance status of each such tank is accomplished annually using the applicable portions of the selfinspection checklists included in Appendix C, UCSB SPCC Inspection Checklist of this Plan. 24

29 5.3 DISCHARGE PREVENTION MEASURES The following spill prevention measures will be implemented for oil storage tanks subject to this SPCC Plan by the responsible offices: Oil storage tanks and associated piping will be constructed of materials that are compatible with the commodity being stored. Oil storage tanks are to be equipped with high-level alarms and/or automatic high-level shut-off valves. A safe fill level will be established for oil storage tanks in coordination with EH&S. Liquid level sensing devices will be tested regularly to ensure proper operation. Adequate spill prevention and cleanup materials are to be readily available. Offices responsible for storage tanks subject to the provisions of 40 CFR 112 will notify EH&S of any changes in oil storage facilities, storage tank inventory, and fueling operations and procedures that may require an amendment to the UCSB Emergency Response Plan and/or to this SPCC Plan. 5.4 SECONDARY CONTAINMENT Only double-walled, secondary containment ASTs will be used for the bulk storage of oil on UCSB. Existing single-walled oil storage tanks will be programmed for replacement as soon as practical. The EPA memorandum entitled Use of Alternative Secondary Containment Measures at Facilities Regulated under the Oil Pollution Prevention Regulation (40 CFR 112) stipulates certain requirements if double-walled ASTs are used to satisfy the requirement for secondary containment. Accordingly, doublewalled tanks on the UCSB campus will comply with the following: The inner tank must be an Underwriters Laboratory (UL)-listed steel tank; The outer wall must be constructed in accordance with nationally accepted industry standards; The tank must have overfill prevention measures that include an overfill alarm and an automatic flow restrictor or flow shut-off; and Constant monitoring of all product transfers must be provided. Sorbent materials will be stocked and kept readily available to contain spillage from oil-containing equipment that is not otherwise configured with secondary containment. Sorbent materials will also be stocked and kept readily available at locations where waste cooking oils and associated grease are accumulated prior to pickup for recycling or reuse. 5.5 CONTINGENCY PLANNING Policies and procedures relating to oil spill prevention and response are outlined in the UCSB Emergency Response Plan, which is incorporated into this SPCC Plan by reference. See Section 6 Emergency Response for emergency response policies and procedures. 25
