APPENDIX C

SPILL PLAN AND PROCEDURES

2 Appendix C

Helena National Forest Weed Treatment Project

The following equipment will be available with vehicles or pack animals used to transport pesticides and in the immediate vicinity of all spray operations.

1. A shovel

2. A broom (except backcountry operations)

3. 10 pounds of absorbent material or the equivalent in absorbent pillows

4. A box of large plastic garbage bags

5. Rubber gloves

6. Protective overalls

7. Rubber boots

The appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) will be reviewed with all personnel involved in the handling of pesticides.

The following material from the U.S. EPA document entitled Applying Pesticides Correctly: A Guide for Private and Commercial Applicators will be reviewed with all personnel involved in handling pesticides.

CLEAN UP OF PESTICIDE SPILLS

MINOR SPILLS

Keep people away from spilled chemicals. Rope off the area and flag it to warn people. Do not leave unless someone is there to confine the spill and warn of the danger. If the pesticide was spilled on anyone, wash it off immediately.

Confine the spill. If it starts to spread, dike it up with sand or soil. Use absorbent material such as soil, sawdust, or absorbent clay to soak up the spill. Shovel all contaminated material into a leak-proof container for disposal. Dispose of it as you would excess pesticides. Do not hose down the area, because this spreads the chemical. Always work carefully and do not hurry.

Do not let anyone enter the area until the spill is completely cleaned up.

MAJOR SPILLS

The cleanup of a major spill may be too difficult for you to handle, or you may not be sure of what to

do. In either case, keep people away, give first aid if needed, and confine the spill. Then call Chemtrec, the local fire department, and State pesticide authorities for help.

Chemtrec stands for Chemical Transportation Emergency Center, a public service of the Manufacturing Chemicals Association. Its offices are located in Washington, D.C. Chemtrec provides immediate advice for those at the scene of emergencies.

Chemtrec operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to receive calls for emergency assistance. For help in chemical emergencies involving spills, leaks, fire, or explosions, call toll-free 800-424-9300 day or night. This number is for emergencies only.

If a major pesticide spill occurs on a highway, have someone call the highway patrol or the sheriff for help (carry these phone numbers with you). Do not leave until responsible help arrives.

Spill Plan and Procedures 3

Final EIS

In addition, the section from the Northern Region Emergency and Disaster Plan entitled “Hazardous Materials Releases and Oil Spills” will be reviewed with all appropriate personnel (see following pages).

Notification and reporting requirements as outlined in this section will be followed in the unlikely event of a serious spill.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS RELEASES AND OIL SPILLS

(Excerpted from the Northern Region Emergency and Disaster Plan)

AUTHORITY: Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CER-CLA);

and Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). Other statutes that may apply include Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA); Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodentcide Act (FIFRA); Clean Water Act (CWA; and Clean Air Act (CAA).

DEFINITION: A hazardous materials emergency or oil spill is defined as any release or threat of release of a hazardous substance or petroleum product that presents an imminent and substantial risk of injury to health or the environment.

A release is defined as any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, leaching, dumping, or disposing into the environment.

Releases that do not constitute an immediate threat, occur entirely within the work place, are federally permitted, or are a routine pesticide application, are not considered to be an emergency and are not covered by this direction.

RESPONSIBILITY: The first person who knows of a release and is capable of appreciating the significance of that release has the responsibility to report the release.

Only emergency release response and reporting is covered by this direction. Appropriate RO staff specialists who should be notified directly of all non-emergency releases will accomplish non-emergency reporting.

An emergency release of a hazardous substance or petroleum product may be from a Forest Service operation or facility; from an operation on National Forest land by a permit holder, contractor, or other third party; or from a transportation related vehicle, boat, pipeline, aircraft, etc., crossing over, on, or under Forest Lands. Response and/or reporting by Forest Service employees will differ in each situation:

1. If the release is from a Forest Service facility or operation, the Forest Service and is employee(s) is clearly the “person in charge”, and is fully responsible for all reporting. Immediate response action is limited to that outlined in emergency plans and only to the extent that personal safety is not threatened.

2. If the release is from a third party operation, the Forest Service will only respond and/or report the emergency if the third party fails to take appropriate action.

3. If the release is from a transportation related incident, the Forest Service will only respond and/or report the emergency if the driver or other responsible party is unable or fails to take appropriate action.

4 Appendix C

RESPONSE ACTION GUIDE: THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY FOREST EMPLOYEE(S)

ENCOUNTERING A HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EMERGENCY OR OIL SPILL IS COMPLETE AND

ACCURATE REPORTING TO APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES IN A TIMELY MANNER.

Forest Service employee(s) will not assume an incident command role for any hazardous materials emergency or spill, but may provide support services as directed by an authorized Federal On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) or other State or local authorized authority.

Within the limits of personal safety, common sense, and recognition of the dangers associated with any hazardous materials emergency or spill, Forest Service employee(s) may provide necessary and immediate response action until an authorized OSC or other authority can take charge. These actions may include:

Public warning and crowd control;

Retrieval of appropriate information for reporting purposes.

Additionally, and only after verification of the type of hazardous material involved and its associated hazards, a Forest Service employee(s) may also take actions including:

Rescue of persons in imminent danger;

Limited action to mitigate the consequences of the emergency.

Under no condition shall a Forest Service employee(s):

Place themselves or others in imminent danger.

Perform or direct actions that will incur liability for the Forest Service

IF THERE IS ANY QUESTION THAT THE EMERGENCY MAY CONSTITUTE A THREAT TO

PERSONAL SAFETY. LIMIT YOUR RESPONSE TO PUBLIC WARNING AND REPORTING OF THE

INCIDENT.

PRECAUTIONS: When approaching the scene of an accident involving cargo, or other unknown or suspected hazardous material emergency including oil spills:

Approach incident from an upwind direction, if possible;

Move and keep people away from the incident scene;

Do not walk into or touch any spilled material;

Avoid inhaling fumes, smoke, and vapors even if no hazardous materials are involved;

Do not assume that gases or vapors are harmless because of lack of smell; and, Do not smoke, and remove all ignition sources.
