1.0 INTRODUCTION AND PLAN CONTENT

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) owns and operates the fuel storage site located on Biorka Island. All fuel is used for electric power generation to support critical navigation aids, which include a Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) facility, a non-directional beacon (NDB), an en route radar facility, Alaska National Air Space Interfacility Communication System (ANICS), a Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD), FAA Quarters/Shop facility, and the Biorka Prime Power Plant.

The existing fuel facility (Facility) commenced operations in 1996.

This Facility Response Plan (FRP) is designed to satisfy the following federal regulations:

U.S. EPA Federal Water Pollution Control Act Section 311(j) Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 112.20

U.S. Coast Guard Federal Water Pollution Control Act Section 311(j) Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations Part 154.1030

A table of contents for this FRP is included, Section 1-3.

This FRP has been prepared to the format requirements presented in 33 CFR, Part

154.1030. Cross-reference tables in Section 1.4 lists EPA and Coast Guard response plan content requirements and identify where each requirement is addressed in this FRP.

Information required by the EPA Response Plan Cover Sheet is presented on the following pages.

The FAA is under contract with the Southeast Alaska Petroleum Response Organization (SEAPRO) and utilizes its capability to satisfy response, training, and planning requirements. The SEAPRO Technical Manual details mobilization procedures, response capability, and sensitive area information. A copy of the Technical Manual is maintained by the FAA, and is incorporated by reference into this FRP. Its table of contents is listed in Appendix 7 of this FRP. Additional response information is at http://www.seapro.org.

Copies of this FRP are to be maintained at the Facility, at the FAA Anchorage District Office (ANC DO) in Anchorage, and at the FAA System Support Center (SSC) in Sitka.

2019 Facility Response Plan updates

July 2019

EPA regulations (40 CFR, Part 112.20) require plans to be reviewed periodically and revised and resubmitted if there is a "facility change that materially may affect the potential for a discharge...” Plans are to be re-approved by the EPA every five years.

Coast Guard regulations (33 CFR, Part 154.1065) require annual review. The review is to occur within one month of the anniversary date of the Coast Guard approval of the plan. Revisions or amendments are to be included in the plan and noted on this Record of Revisions. Revisions are to be submitted to all plan holders within 30 days whenever there is:

a change in the listings of economically important or environmentally sensitive areas identified in the Area Contingency Plan (ACP) that is in effect 6 months prior to plan review, a significant change in the facility configuration that affects information in the plan, a change in the type of oil handled that affects the required response resources, a change in name or capability of the designated spill removal organization, a change in emergency response procedures, any other changes that significantly affect implementation of the plan, and five years from the date of COTP approval.

Changes to personnel and telephone number lists do not require approval.

If no revisions are required, the completion of the annual review is still to be indicated on the record of revisions page.

2.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE ACTION PLAN

A fuel spill will be detected by visual observation or via electronic leak detection. The bulk storage tanks are equipped with a Veeder-Root TLS-350 Tank Inventory Control and Leak Sensing System. The system employs product-sensing probes, and interstitial liquid sensors. The interstitial liquid sensors provide an alarm if liquid is detected in the interstitial space, or if any sensor or probe fails or becomes disconnected. System status reports and alarms are monitored in Anchorage, and at the KTN SSC work center in Sitka (SIT). An alarm initiates further investigation, including site inspection, if and when the cause of the alarm is not determined.

2.1 NOTIFICATION

In the event of a fuel spill, the person on scene is to immediately notify the FAA Service Operations Center (SOC). The SOC is the single point of contact for emergencies. It is staffed 24/7 to continuously monitor the status of navigational aids. The SOC maintains a call out roster to notify the Facility Qualified Individual (QI). The QI is then responsible to ensure spills are reported to the agencies as required and appropriate response personnel and resources are mobilized.

The Emergency Notification Contact List is on the following page.

An Internal Notification and Personnel List is Figure 2-3-2.

Agency Reporting The Qualified Individual is responsible for reporting all oil spills that result from Facility operations. In the absence of the Qualified Individual, the designated Alternate Qualified Individual is to report spills to the required agencies. Direct verbal contact must be made with the agencies.

The Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation must be notified of all oil spills. The Coast Guard (National Response Center) must also be notified if spilled oil enters, or threatens, navigable waters. Notification to the Coast Guard satisfies EPA reporting requirements.

Information to be reported includes (to the extent known):

1. Date/time of discharge 5. Type / amount of discharge

2. Location of discharge 6. Cause of discharge

3. Name of facility 7. Environment damage

4. Name, address, phone of: 8. Cleanup actions taken

• owner/operator of facility 9. Volume recovered

• persons causing the discharge 10. Disposal plans

Spill Documentation A written spill report shall be completed for each spill - regardless of magnitude. A spill report is to be maintained for the "life of the facility". A copy of the report is to be submitted to the EPA Regional Administrator if an oil spill occurs of more than 1,000 gallons in a single discharge or more than 42 gallons of oil in each of two discharges occurring within any 12 month period: the discharges being into or upon navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. The Coast Guard and ADEC may also request a copy of the report.

The written spill report shall contain, as applicable:

1. Name of facility;

2. Your name;

3. Location of the facility;

4. Maximum storage or handling capacity of the facility and normal daily throughput;

5. Corrective action and countermeasures you have taken, including a description of equipment repairs and replacements;

6. An adequate description of the facility, including maps, flow diagrams, and topographical maps, as necessary;

7. The cause of the discharge, including a failure analysis of the system or subsystem in which the failure occurred;

8. Additional preventive measures you have taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of recurrence; and

9. Such other information as the EPA Regional Administrator may reasonably require pertinent to the Plan or discharge.

A spill notification form is in Appendix 6.

Requests for Information Facility operators, employees, and contractors are not to give any information about a spill to anyone other than the designated on-scene representatives of ADEC, the U.S.

Coast Guard, or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). No statements shall be made regarding the following subjects except by the Qualified Individual or Alternate Qualified Individual

Liability for spill.

Estimates of damage expressed in dollars.

Estimates of duration of cleanup.

Estimates of cleanup costs.

Comments regarding effectiveness of cleanup.

Comments regarding appropriateness or effectiveness of public or private involvement.

Page 2.1—18 of 84

Role of Government Agencies The primary government agencies concerned with oil spills are the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).

ADEC's responsibility is to monitor and determine "adequacy" of cleanup of spills that impact state lands or water. The EPA has jurisdiction over all inland waters and adjoining shorelines. The Coast Guard is responsible for all navigable water (and tributaries) and adjoining estuaries and shorelines.

If a spill response and cleanup effort is not adequate, effective or capable, the Coast Guard (or ADEC) will initiate its own cleanup efforts - and recover all costs from the responsible parties.

2.2 SPILL MITIGATION PROCEDURES

Discharge Planning Volumes The only petroleum product stored in bulk at the Facility is non-persistent, #2 diesel fuel.

Facility description and tank information is in Appendix 1.

Discharge planning volumes established by the Coast Guard and EPA are as follows:

Coast Guard (33 CFR, Part 154.1020-29)

Average Most Probable Discharge 19.1 gals (lesser of 50 bbls. or 1% of worst case)

Maximum Most Probable Discharge 191.0 gals (lesser of 1,200 bbls. or 10% of worst case)

Worst Case Discharge 1,910.0 gals* (the worst case discharge volume is the capacity of all piping that can carry oil between the marine transfer manifold (fill point connection) and the non-transportation portion of the facility (first valve in tank farm), plus the potential discharge volume prior to shut down during maximum transfer.)

*The 4" pipeline operates diesel fuel with an average (historical) receipt rate of 145 gallons per minute (207 BPH). The distance of the pipeline from the marine header to the first tank is approximately 460 feet long. The volume of the MTR pipeline is 460 gallons (10.95 bbls). It is estimated that a leak in the MTR pipelines would be detected and that the product flow would be secured within 10 minutes.

145 gallons per x 10 minutes = 1,450 gallons (34.5 bbls) Piping capacity- 460 gallons (10.95 bbls) Total Worst Case Discharge volume = 1,910 gallons (45.47 bbls)

The Average Most Probable Discharge could result from a small leak at the flanged connection of the check/gate valve assembly located at the marine header. Fuel could flow from a loose flange connection.

The Maximum Most Probable Discharge could result from a small line fracture of the fuel transfer line.

The Worst Case Discharge could result from a fuel pipeline transfer line rupturing or failure due to mechanical failure, vandalism, or catastrophic natural event.

Mitigation actions and response scenarios for the above planning volumes are presented on the following pages.

Page 2.2—21 of 84

EPA (40 CFR, Part 112.20 (h)(5))

Small Scenario (2,100 gallons or less) 195 gals Medium Scenario (2,100 - 36,000 gals. or 10% of largest tank) 1,950 gals Large Scenario 19,950 gals

(volume of largest tank plus capacity of all tanks without secondary containment)

The EPA Small Scenario discharge volume could result from a day tank spill in the generator room.

The EPA Medium Scenario discharge volume could result from storage tank overflow during marine delivery.

The EPA Worst Case Discharge could result from a tank leak or failure due to mechanical failure, vandalism, or catastrophic natural event.

Mitigation actions and response scenarios for the above planning volumes are presented on the following pages.

Spill Response Procedures The following section outlines response actions to potential discharges. The actions described are not specifically prescribed procedures, as every response will be dependent upon site-specific variables, and the judgment of the Person(s)-in-Charge (marine transfer), the On-Site Incident Commander, and the Qualified Individual(s).

Spill scenarios and mitigation actions are presented in Sections 2.2.2.1 - 3.

Figure 2-2-1 illustrates site drainage patterns and potential spill containment strategies.

Section 2.3 describes the spill response organization and mobilization procedures.

Section 2.4 identifies sensitive area information that is detailed in the SEAPRO

Technical Manual.

The SEAPRO Technical Manual, Part 2, illustrates spill containment cleanup techniques.

Initial Actions – All Spills

SPILL CONTAINMENT AND CLEANUP ACTIVITY WILL NEVER TAKE PRECEDENCE

OVER THE SAFETY OF PERSONNEL. DO NOT BEGIN ANY ACTIVITIES UNTIL

CONDITIONS ARE SAFE FOR WORKERS.

1. Remove sources of ignition. Close valves that allow product to flow to the segment of the system causing the spill. Attempt to patch or plug leaks.

Account for personnel and ensure their safety.

2. Restrict access. If a fire or explosion hazard exists - clear the area. Enforce No Smoking rules.

Page 2.2—22 of 84

3. Conduct a site safety assessment and initiate initial response operations.

4. Contain a diesel fuel spill. Prevent or divert spilled fuel from approaching structures or draining to water. Sorbent material, sorbent boom, hand tools, a portable pump and hose, storage drums and fire extinguishers are maintained in the shop building. SEAPRO response equipment and personnel may be activated if warranted. Sections 2.2.3 and 2.3.4 identify response resources.

5. The FAA Service Operations Center (SOC) (1-800-478-2139 – 24 hrs.) shall be notified of all spills. The SOC shall alert the Facility Qualified Individual who will mobilize the necessary resources and personnel to respond to the spill.

Section 2.3 describes the spill response organization and personnel responsibilities.

6. The Qualified Individual will ensure the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation is notified of all oil spills. If a discharge enters or threatens water, the National Response Center (NRC) will also be notified. Section 2.1 describes spill reporting requirements.

7. Response actions should be documented in writing. Photographs should be used to record the cleanup.

Leak at the flanged connection of gate/check valve (USCG Small Scenario):

A spill could result from a small leak at the flanged connection of the check/gate valve assembly located at the marine header. Fuel could flow or spray from a loose flange connection.

In the event of a spill from a flanged connection on the marine transfer line:

1. Immediately terminate the fuel transfer. Close all valves that allow fuel flow to the segment of the system causing the spill. Remove sources of ignition. If a fire or explosion hazard exists, clear the area and position fire response equipment. If possible, place drip pans or open-top drums under the discharge to collect spilled fuel.

2. Conduct site safety survey. Do not resume operations until the spill has been removed or the situation is secure, and the fuel system has been inspected and determined safe for operations.

3. Use hand tools, sorbent material, and equipment from the barge to contain spilled fuel. Limit the area of impact and amount of contaminated soil. Block drainage paths to prevent fuel from approaching water or buildings.

4. Alert the SOC of the incident. Discuss spill response with ANC TSC (Qualified Individual). The Qualified Individual will mobilize the necessary resources to the site and make the required spill notifications. SEAPRO resources may be activated if necessary.

5. It is likely spilled fuel will rapidly percolate into the porous cobble and sandy soil substrate. To prevent subsurface migration of spilled fuel, dig trenches to the water table and line coastal side of trench to visqueen to block fuel migration on water table. Recover fuel from trenches with sorbents or SEAPRO skimmers.

6. If spilled fuel enters the water, coordinate boom deployment with the vessel personnel. All fuel barges are required to maintain spill response equipment, including containment and sorbent boom, skimmers, and storage containers.

If the spill is near the hose or barge, attempt to place the boom around the source.

If the spill is large or uncontrollable, project spill movement (currents/wind) to predict potential impact areas. Advise SEAPRO responders of potential exclusionary and/or diversionary boom deployment sites.

Alert wildlife agencies if sensitive habit or wildlife is threatened. In conjunction with SEAPRO, implement wildlife protection measures.

(Sections 2.4)

7. Recovery:

Depending on spill volume, recover fuel with sorbent material, portable pumps, or SEAPRO recovery equipment. Sheens on water may be removed with sorbents.

Page 2.2—24 of 84

If pumps are used, discharge recovered fuel either to empty barrels, over packs, or SEAPRO contingency storage bladders.

Determine depth and perimeter of heavily contaminated soil and remove.

Store all recovered material in an impervious temporary storage area.

8. Remove / drain fuel from the tank (to other tanks) to ensure additional fuel does not overflow due to expansion. Make sure the fuel level in the tank does not exceed the maximum fuel fill height – 95%.

9. In conjunction with the Qualified Individual, arrange for proper disposal and/or recycling of all recovered oil, oily sorbents, and other oiled debris.

Leak from a small line fracture of the fuel transfer line (USCG Medium Discharge Scenario): A spill could result from a small line fracture of the fuel transfer line.

In the event of a spill from a line fracture on the marine transfer line:

1. Immediately terminate the fuel transfer. Close all valves that allow fuel flow to the segment of the system causing the spill. Remove sources of ignition. If a fire or explosion hazard exists, clear the area and position fire response equipment. If possible, place drip pans or open-top drums under the discharge to collect spilled fuel.

2. Conduct site safety survey. Do not resume operations until the spill has been removed or the situation is secure, and the fuel system has been inspected and determined safe for operations.

3. Use hand tools, sorbent material, and equipment from the spill response connex and if necessary from the barge to contain spilled fuel. Limit the area of impact and amount of contaminated soil. Block drainage paths to prevent fuel from approaching water or buildings.

4. Alert the SOC of the incident. Discuss spill response with ANC TSC (Qualified Individual). The Qualified Individual will mobilize the necessary resources to the site and make the required spill notifications. SEAPRO resources may be activated if necessary.

5. It is likely spilled fuel will rapidly percolate into the porous cobble and sandy soil substrate. To prevent subsurface migration of spilled fuel, dig trenches to the water table and line coastal side of trench to visqueen to block fuel migration on water table. Recover fuel from trenches with sorbents or rope mop skimmer skimmer.

6. If spilled fuel enters the water, coordinate boom deployment with the vessel personnel. All fuel barges are required to maintain spill response equipment, including containment and sorbent boom, skimmers, and storage containers.

• If the spill is near the hose or barge, attempt to place the boom around the source.

EVENT: Explosion or Fire

1. Immediately terminate the fuel transfer. Notify barge personnel.

2. If incident occurs at pipeline manifold or pumping facility, shut off power to facility and close valves.

3. If electrical fire involved, shut off electrical power.

4. If incident occurs during a transfer operation, notify pump operator to shut off pumping equipment and close nearest block or flow control valves.

5. Evacuate to a safe distance and account for personnel.

6. Secure area, stay upwind and keep out of low areas.

7. Notify SOC with required information (e.g. Material Safety Data Sheets) immediately after securing flow and ignition sources.

8. Remove or secure other sources of ignition if possible and safe to accomplish.

9. Remove incompatible and flammable materials if possible and safe to accomplish.

10. Use fire extinguishers if trained to use and it is safe and appropriate.

Spill from Day Tank (EPA Small Scenario) Mechanical failure could result in a discharge from the day tanks. Both day tanks are 50-gallon automatic tanks that are located in the generator room. Each tank has a fuel supply

Page 2.2—27 of 84 pump and motor, an emergency overflow pump, a supply line solenoid valve, and integral electronic control system. The day tanks are vented to the outside of the building. If a day tank overfills due to faulty control switches or equipment failures, the emergency overflow pump automatically transfers fuel back to the bulk storage tanks. A day tank level control malfunction would be detected by a “Pegasus” electronic monitoring system that continuously observes power plant functions and reports directly to the SOC in real-time via a dedicated open communication line. Secondary containment for the day tanks is provided by the generator room floor which is approximately 3” below the door threshold.

In the event of a spill from a day tank:

1. Isolate the spill by closing day tank valves.

2. Attempt to place a temporary patch or plug on the source of the spill.

3. Conduct a site safety inspection. Determine extent of discharge, equipment damage, and initial actions. Enforce the No Smoking rule.

4. Report the incident to the SOC. Discuss spill response and repair options with

ANC TSC (Qualified Individual).

5. Use hand tools, drip buckets, and sorbents to limit the spread of spilled fuel.

Attempt to prevent spilled fuel from escaping generator room. If spill escapes building, dig trenches and build berms to contain fuel.

6. Recover spilled fuel with sorbents or pumps depending upon volume. Store recovered fuel and contaminated soil in 55-gallon drums or 85-95-gallon poly over packs. Restore area to previous condition.

7. Do not resume operation of the day tank until the spill has been removed, the area is secure, and the fuel system has been inspected and determined safe for operations.

8. Review cause of discharge and implement corrective measures.

9. In conjunction with the Qualified Individual, arrange for proper disposal of all recovered oil, oily sorbents and other oiled debris. All local means of disposal of contaminated material must to be approved by ADEC. Section 2.5 lists disposal requirements and options.

Storage Tank Overflow (EPA Medium Scenario) Storage tank overflow could occur due to operator error and/or equipment failure during marine delivery.
