2.0 INTRODUCTION (40 CFR 112.1; 112.4(a))

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure plans for facilities are prepared and implemented as required by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) regulations contained in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112 (40 CFR 112). A non-transportation related facility is subject to SPCC regulations if: 1) due to its location, the facility could reasonably be expected to discharge oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United

States; 2) the total aboveground storage capacity exceeds 1,320 gallons (calculated total of containers with capacity of 55 gallons or more); or 3) the completely buried storage capacity exceeds 42,000 gallons. Completely buried tanks subject to all the technical requirements of

40 CFR Parts 280 and 281 do not count in the calculation of the 42,000-gallon threshold.

The SPCC plan is not required to be filed with U.S. EPA, but a copy must be available for on-site review by the Regional Administrator during normal working hours if the subject facility is attended at least 4 hours a day. The SPCC plan must be submitted to the U.S. EPA Regional

Administrator and the state agency in charge of oil pollution control along with the other information specified in 40 CFR 112.4 if either of the following occurs:

1. The facility discharges more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon navigable water of the United States or adjoining shorelines in a single event; or

2. The facility discharges more than 42 gallons of oil in each of two discharge events within any 12-month period. Discharge information must be reported to U.S. EPA and the state agency within 60 days if either of the above thresholds are reached.

This Plan provides guidance on key actions that must be performed to comply with the SPCC rule:

• Complete monthly and annual site inspections as outlined in the Inspection and Tests section of this Plan (Section 4.6 & 5.7).

• Perform preventive maintenance of equipment, secondary containment systems, and discharge prevention systems described in this Plan as needed to keep them in proper operating conditions.

• Conduct annual employee training as outlined in the Personnel Training of this Plan

(Section 4.7).

Hot Springs VA Medical Center Page 6 of 62

• If either of the following occurs, submit the SPCC Plan to the EPA Region 8 Regional

Administrator (RA) along with other information as detailed in Section 6.4 of this Plan:

o The facility discharges more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the U.S. or adjoining shorelines in a single spill event; or o The facility discharges more than 42 gallons in each of two discharge events within any 12-month period.

• Review the SPCC Plan at least once every five (5) years and amend it to include more effective prevention and control technology if such technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a discharge event and has been proven effective in the field at the time of the review. Plan amendments, other than administrative changes discussed above, must be recertified by a Professional Engineer on the certification page in

Section 1.1 of this Plan.

The SPCC plan shall be amended within 6 months whenever there is a change in facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects the facility’s discharge potential. The plan must be reviewed once every 5 years and amended to include more effective prevention and control technology if such technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a discharge event and has been proven in the field. All technical amendments must be certified by a registered professional engineer.

The Hot Springs VA Medical Center facility does not pose a risk of substantial harm under 40

CFR part 112, as recorded in the “Substantial Harm Determination” included in Appendix B.

2.1 Plan Organization and Regulatory References (40 CFR 112.7)

4.0 DISCHARGE POTENTIAL

4.1 Distance to Navigable Waters

The nearest navigable water is Fall River located approximately 0.1 miles northwest from the center of the facility. Projected spill pathways are shown on the site maps (Figure 1 , 2, & 3).

4.2 Discharge History

The facility has one recorded release that occurred on December 8, 1998. A release of 700 gallons of diesel fuel to the secondary containment occurred from the overfilling of a tank. The contained release was mitigated by recovering the fuel by pumping and the use of sorbent pads and clay.

4.3 Potential Discharge Volumes and Rates (40 CFR 112.7 (a)(3)(i & iii); 112.7 (b))

Table 4.1 and Table 4.2 show the facility’s oil storage inventory and summarizes the potential discharge volumes, rate, and projected flow directions in the event of vessel or equipment failure.

4.4 Containment and Diversionary Structures (40 CFR 112.7 (c))

• Each aboveground storage tank is contained within a secondary containment structure or within a building that provides secondary containment. The secondary containment areas for Tanks A-1 through A-4 are constructed of concrete. The volume of the containment area for Tanks A-1 through A-3 is approximately 60,000 gallons and the containment volume for Tank A-4 is approximately 2,120 gallons. (It is noted that this concrete secondary containment structure is not adequate to contain 110 percent of the 2,000 gallons stored in tank A-4. This is due to the tank supports recessed into the containment structure. However, it is noted that this tank is double walled as per facility personnel and therefore complies with the secondary containment requirements and the concrete structure provides containment for loading operations discussed in section 4.9.) The secondary containment for Tank A-5 consists of the double-wall tank construction that is equal to the volume of that tank. Secondary containment for the hydraulic reservoir tanks and generator day tanks consists of interior concrete floors and walls. It is highly unlikely that a spill from these tanks would migrate beyond the interior portions of the buildings.

• Surface drainage at the facility provides opportunity to contain surface spills with diking methods (earth berms, weirs, booms, etc.). Prompt emergency action response to all surface spills should contain any release (on-site) before leaving the property and reaching the nearest navigable water.

• The Hot Springs VA Medical Center has a 24 hour per day, 7 days per week staffed fire station. These personnel are first responders for containment and control of a release.

4.5 Impracticality of Secondary Containment (40 CFR 112.7 (d))

All areas of the facility where petroleum products are handled or stored are equipped with appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment and qualified VA personnel to prevent discharged petroleum products from reaching navigable waters, as required by 40 CFR 112.7 (c). Furthermore, in the 2002 rule clarification it is not required that facilities demonstrate impracticality for containment of spills from oil-filled operational

Hot Springs VA Medical Center Page 18 of 62 equipment, including transformers. Instead, the facility must be able to respond to a release of oil from this equipment with spill response equipment and have an adequate operation, maintenance, and inspection program in place to prevent releases. Spill response and absorbent materials will be used as the primary means of containment in these cases.

4.6 Inspections, Tests and Records (40 CFR 112.7 (e))

Although inspections may be performed more often, periodic inspections must be performed on all oil storage containers at the minimum frequencies recommended by industry standards.

The Authorized Facility Representative or designee is responsible for conducting the inspections and completing and signing the appropriate forms. Section 5.7 provides further details regarding integrity assessments of the containers, which will be conducted according to industry standards for the facility’s containers. Example inspection forms are in Appendix C to assist with the inspection requirements. Records of required inspections must be retained for at least 3 years at the facility.

All ASTs, drums, and mobile/portable oil storage containers with capacities less than or equal to 5,000 gallons require periodic (monthly and annually) routine visual inspections by authorized personnel. No periodic non-routine inspections by a Steel Tank Institute (STI) inspector are required for these containers unless the monthly and annual inspections are not adequately documented. Any tank over 5,000 gallons also requires periodic (monthly and annually) routine visual inspections by authorized personnel plus a formal non-routine external inspection by an STI-certified inspector every 20 years. For the three 39,590-gallon diesel

ASTs, this test/inspection is due in 2030.

Monthly and annual routine visual inspections consist of a walkthrough of the petroleum storage sites by facility personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of the subject equipment. These inspections check for damage or leakage, stained or discolored soils, or elevated fuel odors that could indicate a leak. The monthly example inspection checklists are provided in Appendix C. The monthly inspection records are signed and dated by the inspector and maintained in the Engineering Office for not less than three years.

Hot Springs VA Medical Center Page 19 of 62

Non-routine inspections and integrity testing must be performed by qualified inspectors (e.g., authorized American Petroleum Institute (API) or STI certified inspectors). This testing and inspection must be performed in accordance with acceptable industry standards and/or regulatory requirements. It must also be signed and certified by the authorized inspector and maintained in the Engineering Office for 5 years after the operational life of the storage tank system or lifetime of the equipment.

4.7 Personnel Training (40 CFR 112.7(f)(1-3))

Facility personnel that are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the petroleum storage systems have been instructed in the release response procedures and pollution control laws and regulations. Refresher training will be conducted annually and documented on a training log/record in Appendix D. Periodic briefings are conducted by the Facilities

Management Unit for operating personnel to ensure adequate understanding of the SPCC plan. These briefings discuss any past discharge events or failures and any new release prevention measures or response measures.

4.8 Site Security (40 CFR 112.7 (g))

The Hot Springs VA Medical Center is staffed 7 days per week, 24-hours per day with facility operators and VA Police.

Flow and Drain Valves Secured:

Ensure that the tank and secondary containment drainage valves have adequate security measures in place, so they remain in the closed position when not in use.

Starter Controls and Oil Pumps Secured:

Fuel dispensing at the facility is locked allowing only authorized personnel to dispense fuel.

Pipeline Loading/Unloading Connections Secured:

All piping is in service; however, when facility piping is taken out of service or placed in standby for an extended period of time, the owner/operator will comply with this requirement.

Hot Springs VA Medical Center Page 20 of 62

Lighting Adequate to Detect and Deter Spills:

Lighting within the buildings is adequate to detect a discharge from oil containers. Outside the buildings, security lighting is provided. Lighting at the facility is such that a spill may be observed during hours of darkness, both by operating personnel and non-operating personnel (general public, local police, etc.), and spills are deterred from occurring through acts of vandalism.

4.9 Loading/Unloading Operations (40 CFR 112.7(h)(1-3))

Loading, unloading, and interfacility transfer of oil products occur at this facility. New fuel/oil is delivered to the facility by tanker truck on an as-needed basis. To fill the tanks, the tanker truck is parked and chocked next to the tanks and/or tank fill ports. Before filling the tanks, the truck should be closely inspected by the delivery driver for discharges at the lowermost drain and all outlets of the tanker. After the inspection, the tanker’s discharge hose is attached to the inlet valve of the tank. The valve is normally in a closed position. The Authorized Facility

Representative or designated personnel must be notified and be present to supervise the loading procedure. Other virgin oil products are delivered in 55-gallon drums. Diesel fuels for the emergency generators are delivered on an as-needed basis. Used oil is stored in a 15-gallon drum at building 17.

The facility does not have any “loading/unloading racks” as defined by the U.S. EPA standard and is not subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 112.7(c) and 40 CFR 112.8(b). Rule 40 CFR

112(h) does not apply to transfer of fuel to shop-fabricated end-use containers such as small

ASTs, nor does it apply to fuel transfer into non-AST systems by commercial fuel transporters.

Oil throughput associated with these systems and operations is considered low. For these operations, spill risk potential is managed in accordance with standard operating procedures described throughout this SPCC Plan.

The potential for discharges during tank truck loading and unloading operations is a concern at this facility. The following measures are implemented to prevent oil discharges during tank truck unloading operations.

Hot Springs VA Medical Center Page 21 of 62

4.9.1 Loading/Unloading Procedures (40 CFR 112.7(h)(2) and (3))

All suppliers must meet the minimum requirements and regulations for tank truck loading/unloading established by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Vendors are required to understand the site layout, the protocol for entering the facility and loading or unloading product, and how to contact facility personnel. The Authorized Facility

Representative, or his/her designee, needs to supervise oil deliveries for all new suppliers, and periodically observe deliveries for existing, approved suppliers.

Prior to filling a tank, the available storage capacity is verified. The delivery driver is required to remain at the point of delivery and man the delivery operation the entire time fuel is being transferred to the storage container. A Loading/Unloading Procedure list is provided in

Appendix E and an example inspection checklist is provided in Appendix C.

4.10 Conformance with Other Applicable Requirements (40 CFR 112.7(j))

4.10.1 State of South Dakota Requirements

The State of South Dakota does not have any additional requirements for spill prevention, control, and countermeasures. However, the State does have additional reporting, monitoring, O&M, compliance testing, inspections, and recordkeeping requirements applicable to facilities with USTs and/or ASTs.

• Each UST/AST owner or operator shall report any spill or overfill of a regulated substance that exceeds its reportable quantity under CERCLA 1980 (40 C.F.R. 302, July

1, 1990) or threatens the waters of the state and any spill or overfill of petroleum that exceeds 25 gallons or causes a sheen on surface water to the department immediately.

• UST owners or operators shall contain and clean up any spill or overfill of petroleum of

25 gallons or less immediately. If the cleanup is not accomplished within 24 hours, the department or the Division of Emergency Management and applicable local agencies must be notified.

• Each UST owner or operator must report suspected releases from USTs. The owner or operator shall report any of the following conditions to the department within 72 hours:

Hot Springs VA Medical Center Page 22 of 62

1. Test, sampling, or monitoring results from a release detection method that indicate a release may have occurred; and

2. Unusual operating conditions, such as the erratic behavior of product dispensing equipment, the sudden loss of product from the UST system, or an unexplained presence of water in the tank.

• Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) Monitoring DENR_UST_Owners_Operators_Guide_Final_Version_July_2019.pdf (sd.gov):

An automatic tank gauging (ATG) system consists of a probe permanently installed in an UST and wired to a monitor to provide information on product level and temperature. ATG systems automatically calculate changes in product volume that can indicate a leaking UST. If an ATG system detects a leak or unusual conditions, a visual and audible alarm will trigger. Never ignore or silence ATG system alarms without investigation. It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to be knowledgeable and appropriately responsive to the indications of triggered alarms. If an alarm indicates a suspected or confirmed release, the DANR must be notified.

Operation and Maintenance:

o The UST must contain enough product to ensure the validity and accuracy of ATG system test results.

o Most ATG systems require a minimum amount of product in the UST to properly perform a leak detection test. To determine the minimum amount of product required, refer to the ATG system operator manual or third-party certification.

Compliance Testing:

o An ATG system, as a primary form of leak detection, must test for a 0.2 gallon per hour leak and produce a passing record for each UST in the system every 30 days.

o By October 13, 2021, all ATG systems must be tested annually for proper functionality by a qualified service contractor. At a minimum, the test must include alarm operability, system configuration verification, battery backup, and inspections of probes and sensors to ensure floats move freely, shaft is https://denr.sd.gov/des/gw/tanks/DENR_UST_Owners_Operators_Guide_Final_Version_July_2019.pdf

Hot Springs VA Medical Center Page 23 of 62 not damaged, cables are free of kinks and breaks, and controller communication is functioning properly.

Compliance Inspections and Recordkeeping:

o Owners or operators must provide the most recent 12 months of passing

ATG records for each UST in the system to the DANR for review.

o Owners or operators must provide the most recent annual ATG system functionality test to the DANR for review during compliance inspections.

o Owners or operators must retain the most recent 12 months of passing ATG records for each UST in the system.

o Owners or operators must retain the most recent ATG system functionality test results for 12 months, or until the next functionality test shows satisfactory operation of the ATG system.

• Interstitial Monitoring

DENR_UST_Owners_Operators_Guide_Final_Version_July_2019.pdf (sd.gov):

Secondary containment with interstitial monitoring is a leak detection method that detects leaks in the space between the primary wall and a secondary barrier (interstitial space) of a UST. Interstitial monitoring may be used as a release detection method provided the interstitial space is monitored manually or automatically for evidence of a leak at least every 30 days and the secondary barrier is designed, constructed, and installed to ensure detection of any release from the UST system so corrective action can be initiated. The DANR must be notified if a leak is suspected or confirmed.

Operation and Maintenance:

o Interstitial monitoring liquid sensors will alarm if water accumulates within the interstitial space. Any water detected in the interstice must be removed and properly disposed.

Compliance Testing:

o The interstitial monitoring system must be tested or inspected for a leak every 30 days.

o Interstitial monitoring testing or inspection results must be documented every 30 days.

https://denr.sd.gov/des/gw/tanks/DENR_UST_Owners_Operators_Guide_Final_Version_July_2019.pdf

Hot Springs VA Medical Center Page 24 of 62 o The interstitial monitoring liquid sensor for each UST in the system must be annually tested for proper functionality by a qualified service contractor.
