1 SPILL CONTAINMENT AND CONTROL PLAN PUD NO. 1 TREATMENT PLANT 1257 GLASS ROAD PORT ANGELES, WASHINGTON PUD No. 1 Treatment Plant 2431 East Highway 101 P.O. Box 1090 Port Angeles, WA 98362

2 Facility Description: PUD No. 1 Treatment Plant is a water treatment plant in the NW ¼ of the NE ¼ of Section 5, Township 29 North, Range 5 West, Willamette Meridian, in Clallam County, Washington. The plant is located on the east side of Morse Creek, approximately 5 miles southeast of Port Angeles, Washington. Facilities and improvements consist of a pump house, water treatment building, storage buildings, and filter backwash settling ponds in a fenced and gated enclosure. Liquid chlorine, liquid alum, sodium hydroxide, citric acid and a small amount of petroleum based oil and fuel are used and stored on the site. Filter backwash sediment is accumulated, dried, and stockpiled on the site. Potential Spill Sources: Potential spill sources at the site include chemicals and petroleum based materials and equipment on-site including: Chemical storage and transfer o Liquichlor 12.5% o Aluminum Sulfate 48% o Sodium Hydroxide 25% o Citric Acid 50% Equipment maintenance and fueling o Chevron GST ISO 68 Turbine Oil o Chevron SRI Grease NLGI 2 o Chevron Ultra-duty Grease EP NLGI 2 o Chevron Poly FM Grease 2 o 5 gallon gas can for lawnmower Filter backwash and accumulated sediment Personnel: The PUD No. 1 Treatment Plant designated person responsible for managing, implementing, and maintaining this Spill Plan is the Lead Operator, Derek Thompson. Contact phone numbers are as follows: Derek Thompson Leak Operator o Treatment Plant (360) o Cellular Phone (360) Mike Kitz - Water/Wastewater Superintendent o Treatment Plant (360) o Cellular Phone (360) SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTAINMENT All chemicals, fuel, and oil are stored indoors in secure, covered locations. Containers are of suitable type, properly labeled, with tight fitting lids. Containers are inspected for corrosion, structural failure, leaks, and spills prior to the transfer of material and periodically when used for storage. Storage and mixing drums are stored and used indoors on an impervious concrete floor with floor drains that drain to the outdoor settling pond. Drip pans are used when needed to contain small leaks during transfer.

Facilities and improvements consist of a pump house, water treatment building, storage buildings, and filter backwash settling ponds in a fenced and gated enclosure.

3 BMPs for Storage of Chemicals, Oil, and Fuel Containers Store containers in impervious containment under a roof or other appropriate cover, or in a building. Place tight-fitting lids on all containers. Place drip pans beneath all mounted container taps and at all potential drip and spill locations during filling and unloading of containers. Inspect container storage areas regularly for corrosion, structural failure, spills, leaks, overfills, and failure of piping systems. Check containers daily for leaks/spills. Replace containers, and replace and tighten bungs in drums as needed. Drums stored in an area where unauthorized persons may gain access must be secured in a manner that prevents accidental spillage, pilferage, or any unauthorized use Keep containers with Dangerous Waste, food waste, or other potential pollutant liquids inside a building SPILL RESPONSE The primary spill response kit is located in a locker in the main water treatment building. This kit contains absorbent pads, neutralizing materials, and personal safety equipment. In the event of a spill of chemicals, fuel, or oil, immediate action will be taken by all personnel present, to contain and control the spill by berming, ditching, or immediately absorbing the spill. All spills will be immediately cleaned up using clean drums, absorbent pads, neutralizing agents, and other suitable materials. In the event of an indoor spill of chemicals, fuel, or oil, the filter backwash cycle will be turned off to prevent overflowing of the outdoor settling pond. If chemicals, fuel, or oil spill into the interior floor drains, the drains and settling pond will be cleaned up immediately, or the contaminants neutralized. BMPs for Spills of Chemicals, Oil and Hazardous Substances Immediately clean up spills. Do not use emulsifiers for cleanup unless an appropriate disposal method for the resulting oily wastewater is implemented. Absorbent material shall not be washed down a floor drain or storm sewer Locate emergency spill containment and cleanup kit(s) in high potential spill areas. The contents of the kit shall be appropriate for the type and quantities of chemical liquids stored at the facility. Spill kits should include appropriately lined drums, absorbent pads, and granular or powdered materials for neutralizing acids or alkaline liquids where applicable. In fueling areas: absorbent should be packaged in small bags for easy use and small drums should be available for storage of absorbent and/or used absorbent. Spill kits should be deployed in a manner that allows rapid access and use by employees. REPORTING The plant operator, Derek Thompson, will contact the applicable regulatory agencies regarding spill response activities. Immediately notify Ecology and the local Sewer Authority if a spill may reach sanitary or storm sewers, ground water, or surface water, in accordance with federal and Ecology spill reporting requirements.

Inspect container storage areas regularly for corrosion, structural failure, spills, leaks, overfills, and failure of piping systems. Check containers daily for leaks/spills.

New employees will be trained in spill prevention, containment, and clean up. The spill response plan and spill response kit will be reviewed and practiced with regularly. Train key personnel in the implementation of the Emergency SCP. Prepare a summary of the plan and post it at appropriate points in the building, identifying the spill cleanup coordinators, location of cleanup kits, and phone numbers of regulatory agencies to be contacted in the event of a spill;
