1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 APPLICABLE LAWS

1.1.1 Federal Regulatory Background

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Oil Pollution Prevention Regulation (1973) was issued to address the oil spill prevention provisions and was promulgated under the 1972 Clean Water Act (CWA). The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, Part 112 - Oil Pollution Prevention - requires facilities with underground oil storage capacity of more than 42,000 gallons and/or aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity of more than 1,320 gallons, to prepare a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan. This is known as "the SPCC Rule", the goal of which is to prevent oil from entering navigable waters through the prevention and control of oil spills. Under the SPCC Rule, oil is defined as "oil of any kind, or in any form, including but not limited to petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, oil refuse and oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil and oily mixtures." Under 40 CFR 112.1(d){2)(ii), only containers with a capacity of 55 gallons or greater are included in the calculation of aggregate aboveground storage capacity.

On July 17, 2002, EPA issued a final rule amending the SPCC regulations. These amendments included changes in or clarification of operating requirements and clarification of applicability provisions. Changes went into effect August 16, 2002, and SPCC Plans were required to be amended to reflect these changes.

The EPA amended the SPCC Rule again on December 26, 2006, this time to address a number of issues raised by the 2002 final Rule, including those pertaining to facilities with smaller oil storage capacities, qualified oil-filled operational equipment, motive power containers, and mobile refuelers.

On December 5, 2008, the Federal Register published additional amendments to the SPCC rule and in November 2009, EPA promulgated minor revisions to the December 2008 amendments. Revisions to the SPCC Rule were made in order to provide increased clarity, to tailor requirements to particular industry sectors, and to streamline certain requirements for those facility owners or operators subject to the rule, which should result in greater protection to human health and the environment. The December 5, 2008, amendments became effective on January 14, 2010.

On June 19, 2009, EPA published in the Federal Register a SPCC compliance date extension for all facilities until November 10, 2010. Facilities must amend or prepare, and implement SPCC Plans by this compliance date in accordance with all revisions to the SPCC rule promulgated since 2002.

1.1.2 Department of the Army

Army Regulation (AR) 200-1, Environmental Protection and Enhancement, requires Army Installations and Facilities to implement the provisions and requirements of the Clean Water Act, including preparation of an SPCC Plan

Potomac-Hudson Engineering, Inc

1.1.3 Hawaii Department of Health Regulations

The Hawaii State Department of Health (DOH) administers State regulations reflecting Federal regulations with regard to the management of and response to oil and hazardous substance spills. Title 11-451 Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) "The State Contingency Plan" describes State requirements for response and notification for spills of oil and hazardous substances.

1.2 PURPOSE

This SPCC Plan (Plan) was prepared by Potomac-Hudson Engineering, Inc. (PHE) in accordance with the final amendments to the SPCC Rule and complies with the regulations of 40 CFR 112. The purpose of this Plan is to:

· Prevent oil spills by using sound engineering and management controls

· Prevent the discharge of oil into navigable waters of the United States

· Prevent exposure of personnel and the community

· Prevent contamination of the environment This SPCC Plan presents guidance to operating personnel at the Veterans Affairs Pacific Islands Health Care System (VAPIHCS) Honolulu Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC), which currently exceeds the 1,320 gallon threshold of above ground oil storage capacity and is thus subject to requirements of the SPCC Rule. The facility, also known as the "Spark M. Matsunaga VAMC" or the "Honolulu VAMC", is located at 459 Patterson Road, on the grounds of the Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC) in Honolulu, ( Hawaii. .

Verify )Prior to development of this SPCC plan, the Honolulu VAMC was covered under a master U.S. Army Garrison - Hawaii (USAG-HI) SPCC Plan for TAMC and other USAG-HI Installations. This document shall supersede the USAG-HI SPCC Plan and serve as the new SPCC Plan for the Honolulu VAMC. - The Department of Veterans Affairs has committed the necessary resources to implement the procedures described in this document. By preparing this Plan, the Department of Veterans Affairs is demonstrating its obligation to the public for responsible environmental stewardship.

1.3 ORGANIZATION

This document has been organized to satisfy regulatory requirements while being an efficient, user friendly working document for the Honolulu VAMC. The Plan shall be used frequently in the following ways:

· As a reference for oil storage and containment system information

· As a tool for informing new employees and refreshing existing employees about practices for preventing and responding to spills

· To guide training programs for employees

· To guide facility inspections

· As a resource during an emergency response

The following sections of this Plan provide the Certification by a licensed Professional Engineer (Section 2), plan review procedures (Section 3), facility description (Section 4), an assessment of the potential for discharge from the facility (Section 5), discharge prevention measures (Section 6), spill response procedures (Section 7), spill notification procedures (Section 8), security (Section 9), and SPCC plan accessibility (Section 10).

Included in the appendices to this document are forms and checklists (Appendix A), facility maps and diagrams (Appendix B), site photographs (Appendix C), and a spill contingency plan for oil-filled operational equipment (Appendix D).

1.3.1 Cross Reference of Federal SPCC Plan Regulations

The SPCC Rule specifies the elements and sequence format of an SPCC plan. Since this Plan deviates from the sequence specified in 40 CFR 112, Table 1-1, Cross Reference of Federal SPCC Plan Regulations, presents each applicable requirement in the Final SPCC Rule and shows the location of the provision in this Plan.

N/A

112.70) Conformance with Applicable State Requirements Include a discussion of conformance with applicable State rules, regulation or guidelines.

112.7(k) Qualified Oil-Filled Operational Equipment If oil-filled operational equipment meets the qualification criteria of 40 CFR 112.7(k)(1) if you choose, rather than meet the requirements of 40 CFR 112.7 (c) you may implement the alternative general secondary containment requirements of establishing and documenting a procedure for inspection or monitoring to detect equipment failure an/or discharge;

Unless you have submitted a response plan under 40 CFR 112.20, provide:

· An oil spill contingency plan following the provisions of 40 CFR part 109;

· A written commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously control and remove any quantity of oil discharged.

112.8(b)(1) Facility Drainage Restrain drainage from diked storage areas by valves to prevent a discharge. Pumps or ejectors may be used to drain diked areas, but they must be manually operated and water must be inspected prior to drainage to ensure no oil will be discharged.

112.8(b)(2) Facility Drainage Use valves or manual, open-and-closed design to drain diked areas. Stormwater must be inspected before release.

112.8(b)(3) Facility Drainage Design facility drainage systems from undiked areas where a discharge is possible to flow into ponds, lagoons, or catchment basins designed to retain or return oil to the facility.

N/A

112.8(b)(3) Facility Drainage If facility drainage is not engineered as in (3) above, equip the final discharge of all ditches inside the facility with a diversion system that would in the event of an uncontrolled discharge, retain oil at the facility.

112.8(b)(4) Facility Drainage Where drainage waters are treated in more than one treatment unit and treatment is continuous, and pump transfer is needed, provide two "lift" pumps and permanently install one of the pumps.

Whatever techniques are used, the facility drainage systems must be engineered to prevent a discharge in case there is an equipment failure or human error at the facility.

112.8(c)(1) Bulk Storage Container: Construction Only use containers for the storage oil if its materials and construction are compatible with the material stored and condition of storage such as pressure and temperature.

112.8(c)(2) Bulk Storage Container: Secondary Containment Construct all bulk storage tanks to provide secondary containment for the entire capacity of the largest single container and sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation.

This specific containment requirement is based on a major container failure in which the entire capacity of the container is discharged.

112.8(c)(3) Drainage of Diked Areas Do not allow drainage of uncontaminated rainwater from diked areas into a storm drain or open watercourse, lake or pond without treatment unless you:

i. Normally keep the bypass valve sealed closed;

ii. Inspect the retained rainwater to ensure that its presence will not cause an oil discharge;

iii. Open the bypass valve and reseal it under supervision;

iv. Keep adequate records of such events.

112.8(c)(6) and 112.12(c)(6) Testing/Inspection The facility owner or operator is required to:

· Test/inspect each aboveground container for integrity on a regular schedule and whenever material repairs are made.

· Determine, in accordance with industry standards, the appropriate qualifications of personnel performing tests and inspections and the frequency and type of testing and inspections, which take into account container size, configuration, and design.

112.8(c)(7) Heating Coils Control leakage through defective internal heating coils by monitoring the steam return and exhaust lines for contamination from internal heating coils that discharge into an open watercourse, or pass the steam return or exhaust lines through a settling tank, skimmer, or other separation or retention system.

4.4 APPLICABLE OIL STORAGE UNITS

This section provides an inventory of the oil storage containers (including oil-filled equipment) with a capacity of 55-gallons or more at the Honolulu VAMC. Storage units containing less than 55-gallons of oil, such as various pieces of machinery and portable containers, are exempt from the requirements of this SPCC Plan, but can be included at the facility's discretion. Also exempt from SPCC requirements are the facility's Oil/Water Separators (OWS) since they are used exclusively to treat wastewater and not used to satisfy any requirement of the SPCC Rule. The aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity at the Honolulu VAMC that is subject to requirements of the SPCC Rule and/or covered by this Plan is 8,430 gallons, Table 4-1 - Applicable Oil Storage Units, lists the oil storage containers located at the facility that are covered by this Plan. The table summarizes the design features, existing containment and/or controls, content, capacity, location, and potential for accidental discharge from each unit. The oil storage containers are described in greater detail throughout the remainder of this Section, Section 5 - Potential for Discharge, and Section 6 - Spill Prevention.

A diagram of the Honolulu VAMC facility and TAMC complex is presented in Figure 4-1 - Facility Schematic. The drawing identifies the approximate locations of each of the VA's applicable oil storage containers. For reference and clarification regarding applicability, the major TAMC oil storage containers not covered by this Plan (those that are not VA-owned) are also identified in Figure 4-1. Additional facility diagrams are included in Appendix B - Facility Maps and Diagrams, and the photographs provided in Appendix C- Site Photographs, further illustrate the facility's oil storage containers and equipment.

There are no Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) at the VAMC; all bulk oil storage is contained within Aboveground Storage Tanks (ASTs) and oil-filled operational equipment. Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (POLs) at the facility include diesel fuel used by generators, hydraulic fluid used in elevators, and non Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) insulating fluid used in electrical transformers. The Honolulu VAMC does not engage in food preparation or service and thus does not manage used cooking oil (grease).

4.4.1 Diesel Fuel Bulk Storage Tanks

The six diesel fuel ASTs at the Honolulu VAMC are used to provide fuel for the facility's emergency generators. The materials and construction of these ASTs are compatible with diesel fuel as well as the specific conditions of storage, such as pressure and temperature. Each AST is constructed primarily of steel. The locations of each AST are shown in Figure 4-1.

Both Building T1/E-Wing and the Parking Structure (Building 32) have one emergency generator each with an AST integral (built-in) to the generator set. The Building T1/E-Wing tank (identified throughout this plan as AST T1/E) holds up to 392 gallons and is situated outside the building. The Parking Structure tank (identified throughout this plan as AST 32) holds 300 gallons and is located inside a generator building adjacent to Building 32.

The ACC (Building 30) has two tanks associated with its emergency generator. There is a 5,000 gallon AST located outside the building (identified throughout this plan as AST 30-1), and a day tank that holds 100 gallons located inside the generator room (identified throughout this plan as AST 30-2).

The CFA (Building 110) also has two tanks associated with its emergency generator. There is a 1,000 gallon AST (identified throughout this plan as AST 110-1) that is located outside, and a day tank (identified throughout this plan as AST 110-2) that holds approximately 50 gallons and is located inside the generator building (Building 110A). Although it is less than 55 gallons and as such is not required by Rule to be covered by this SPCC plan, the SO-gallon day tank (AST 110-2) has been included due to its association with AST 110-1.

4.4.2 Transformers

Each of the four VA-owned buildings at TAMC (Building T1/E-Wing, the Parking Structure/Building 32, the ACC/Building 30, and the CFA/Building 110) has one transformer each containing approximately 55-gallons or more of oil. The locations of each transformer are shown in Figure 4-1. All of the transformers have sealed carbon-steel plate construction and contain non-PCB insulating fluid.

Two of the VAMC's transformers are 1,500 kilovolt-ampere (kVA) substation transformers: One is located outside Building T1/E-Wing…
