Aviation Spill Response

A spill or discharge is the accidental or intentional spilling, leaking, pouring, emitting, or dumping of waste or product into or on land or water. The person responsible for cleaning up a spill is the owner or operator of a facility from which a spill originates or any person who causes, suffers, allows, or permits a spill or discharge.

Spills may occur at any time! Employees must follow spill response and clean up procedures in order to minimize the environmental impact caused by spills. Be aware of your work areas and nearest spill kit.

1. Identify the spilled material and stop the source of the spill immediately (i.e. from container, piping, hose, valve, or other source). Shut off any ignition source that could cause a fire in the vicinity of the discharged materials.

2. Report the spill by contacting the Airport Operations Center (AOC) at (214) 670-5683 immediately.

3. If the spilled material is immediately dangerous to life or health, call 911.

4. Protect any storm drains or water source that could be impacted by the spill with proper materials (e.g. socks, absorbent). If spilled material is suspected in the storm drain, Environmental or other authorized personnel will immediately close the appropriate outfall gate as deemed necessary.

5. Identify the responsible party. Once identified, the responsible party will be responsible for cleaning up the spill and incurring the associated cleanup cost.

6. If the spill is deemed non-hazardous, the responsible party must:

♦ Contain the spill with absorbent material, berm or place absorbent socks or pads around the spill.

♦ Clean the spilled material.

♦ Thoroughly clean the impacted area, equipment and surfaces where the spill occurred.

♦ Dispose of used pads in a rigid container with a top for proper disposal. Used materials

MUST NOT be disposed of in the general trash, down the drain or into the ground. Place contaminated spilled material in a secured container for storage and disposal.

♦ Restock the spill kit with new materials following spill cleanup.

7. The responsible party and the first on-site COD staff must assist Environmental in investigating the root cause of the spill and determining any actions needed to reduce, eliminate and prevent its reoccurrence. The responsible party and the first on-site COD staff must document the spill and provide this information (i.e. pictures, notes, reports) to Environmental within 24 hours of the spill.

8. An Environmental Incident Report (EIR) must also be completed:

♦ For spills less than one (1) gallon, the EIR will be kept at your facility.

♦ For spills greater than one (1) gallon, Environmental will notify Office of Environmental

Quality and Sustainability (OEQS) at (214) 670-1200 within 4 hours of the knowledge of the spill. The EMR, or assigned personnel must submit the approved EIR to OEQS as soon as the investigation is completed or no later than 10 business days after the event.

♦ For spills greater than ten (10) gallons or if any amount enters the storm drain, Environmental will notify OEQS and Storm Water Management at (214) 948-4022 as necessary.

9. Email AVIEnvironmental@dallas.gov with questions, comments, or requests for training.

10. Who is the Aviation Environmental Management Representative (EMR)?
