EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR) Spill Prevention, Control, and

Countermeasure Plan (SPCCP) is a comprehensive working document designed to provide a functional structure for implementing response activities in the event of an unplanned release of hazardous substances or petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POLs).

The SPCCP provides notification requirements for spill response organizations and designates the responsibilities for those organizations involved in the response effort. Applicable spill mitigation procedures are proposed in this document that will prevent the unplanned release of pollutants into the environment and reduce exposure to these pollutants by operators of POL and waste generating activities. Releases that will impact the environment and human health have been identified and evaluated and remedies proposed. Training and document review guidelines are also provided in this plan and should be used in conjunction with the Range

Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP). The HWMP is maintained by the Compliance

Section of the Environmental Flight.

This SPCC Plan also integrates contingency plan requirements as detailed under the

Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), codified in 40 CFR 264.52 for the storage of hazardous waste which emphasize actions necessary to control unplanned release of hazardous substances or hazardous waste.

The SPCCP supersedes the APAFR Spill Prevention and Response Plan, issued June

2007 and is issued to support amendments of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule making as outlined in the Federal Register (FR 67, No. 117, p. 47042) entitled Oil Pollution

Prevention and Response: Non-transportation-Related Onshore and Offshore Facilities, July 17, 2002. The amendments and contents of this Plan have been prepared in accordance with the

Department of Defense (DoD) Clean Water Act Services Steering Committee guidance issued

March 2004. Specifically, amendments to the EPA final rule are addressed in this Plan with a regulatory cross-reference table provided to assist inspection audits. Although many of the facilities and activities discussed in this Plan are regulated by one or more statutes, it is not the intent of this plan to provide an exhaustive analysis of regulatory compliance.

xxii

This Plan and its appendices include site-specific information with regard to notification, spill response procedures, and containment requirements applicable to containers equal to or greater than 55 gal and operational equipment subject to containment requirements.

Review and certification of this Plan has been completed by a Professional Engineer registered in the state of Florida. Implementation of good engineering practices, including applicable industrial standards and site-specific procedures, have been evaluated by this certification review with recommendations to fulfill requirements for this Plan.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Oil Pollution Prevention regulations administered under the authority of the EPA require certain facilities to prepare and implement a Spill Prevention, Control, and

Countermeasure Plan (SPCCP) in order to reduce or eliminate oil discharges to navigable waters of the United States. SPCCPs document regulated containers (including POL storage tanks) at a facility and the inspection, testing, and maintenance procedures for those containers. The

SPCCP also contains information regarding emergency response notice and cleanup.

This document is the SPCCP for 598 RANS, Avon Park Air Force Range (APAFR), Florida. This Plan has been prepared in accordance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

112 as amended in the Federal Register (FR 74, No. 218) on 13 November 2009. This plan includes references to industry standards that apply to containers at the facility, and has been certified by a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Florida.

A facility Emergency Contact Directory and response services contacts are located in the

“Emergency References” section and in Section 4.7, which describes APAFR’s spill response procedures and instructions. The Compliance Section is accountable for discharge prevention.

The SPCC Program Manager in the Environmental Flight is responsible for maintaining this

Plan. A copy of the Plan is maintained by the Environmental Flight, with distribution to all functional areas responsible for managing hazardous materials and hazardous waste.

Section 2.0 describes the installation and the surrounding area. The applicability of the

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations, as amended 13 November

2009 is described in Section 3.0. Section 4.0 contains general information required to be in the approved SPCCP, and Section 5.0 describes the specific container/storage tank areas. Section

6.0 contains the schedule for implementing any required changes as a result of implementing this

Plan. Certification and management approval information of this Plan is contained in the

Certification Section of the document.

2.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION AND MISSION

2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

APAFR is an Air Combat Command installation located in central Florida, approximately

70 miles east-southeast of Tampa and 80 miles southwest of Orlando, Florida. The Range encompasses both Polk and Highlands Counties, and is contiguous to Okeechobee County along its southeast boundary. A vicinity map and regional map of APAFR is shown in Figure 2-1. The installation covers 106,074 acres and is located about 10 miles east of the city of Avon Park, which is the nearest population center. The primary transportation route to the installation is

State Road 64E which intersects U.S. HWY 27 in the city of Avon Park. Transportation is directed through one main gate at the end of State Road 64 E. APAFR does not operate a rail transportation system.

In 1942, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed the range to train aircrews for service in World War II. The Range, which at that time included additional acreage leased in

Okeechobee County, became the world’s largest bombing range east of the Mississippi River.

At the end of war, training operations were curtailed, and all primary operations ceased in 1950.

In 1951, 800 acres near the main gate of APAFR was transferred to the U.S. Bureau of

Prisons for opening a minimum-security prison. The property was then transferred to the State of Florida after one year of operation. The operation was taken over by the State of Florida and the property was deeded to the State in 1968. It is currently known as the Avon Park

Correctional Institution (AVPCI). In 1952, the range was reactivated under Strategic Air

Command and was assigned to MacDill AFB, Tampa, Florida.

July 2019 2-2

The range was reassigned to Tactical Air Command in 1962, and was reassigned in 1992 to Air Combat Command (ACC), as a result of Air Force (AF) realignment of Major Commands

(MAJCOMs). In 1996, the range was reassigned to Moody Air Force Base (AFB) under ACC, 347th Rescue Wing and was re-designated Detachment 1 OL A, 347th Rescue Wing (RQW). On

1 October 2003, APAFR was reassigned to the 20th Fighter Wing, Shaw AFB with Range operational control under the 18 ASOG at Pope AFB. APAFR was reassigned to Moody AFB on 01 October 2006 and redesignated as OL A, DET 1, 23rd WG. On 22 September 2015 APAFR was redesignated as 598 Range Squadron (598 RANS).

In addition to relinquishing property to the State of Florida for the prison, DoD transferred facilities to Highlands County for the Avon Park Youth Academy in 1997. The facility currently houses approximately 200 juvenile offenders. AVPCI operates and maintains all potable water systems and the industrial wastewater treatment plant on the installation under their state permits. Drinking water is provided from four production wells located within the installation property.

2.2 RANGE AND MISSION

The primary mission of the 598 RANS is to provide a world-class training complex providing joint, inter-agency and multinational (JIM) realistic training to fully execute the employment of effects-based air and ground operations in support of national, theater, and tactical objectives. Personnel from all services train at APAFR on a routine basis.

The complex includes two tactical ranges, three conventional weapons ranges, an airfield, parachute drop areas, an artillery range, a small arms firing range, and helicopter landing zones.

Figure 2-2 shows the range training areas, surface waters, and navigable waterways that bound the installation. A facility plot plan, Figure 2-3 identifies the drainage, surface water features, and outfalls within the industrial area of the base.

The range hosts multiple training capabilities for the 23 WG mission to organize, train and employ combat ready forces. Primary users are deployed units staging from AF installations and Florida National Guard units. The range is available to any DoD agency with a valid and coordinated training requirement. FLARNG is a tenant organization at APAFR and operates as a

July 2019 2-3 detachment of the FLARNG’s Camp Blanding Training Site. Its primary mission is to provide realistic training for combat readiness. Mission support encompasses scheduled ground maneuvers on foot, infantry tactics with vehicles and artillery, mortar training, and small arms qualifications.

The Unit Training Equipment Site (UTES) stores all combat equipment utilized by

FLARNG forces training at APAFR, and provides scheduled maintenance for these FLARNG vehicles and is responsible for management of waste generated as a result of its training mission.

As a result of APAFR’s training mission, several facilities use and store oils in quantities that are regulated under SPCC rules. The types of fuels and POL products stored at the installation consist generically of the following materials:

• Unleaded gasoline

• Diesel fuel

• Motor oil (engine lubricating oils)

• Jet fuel

• Hydraulic fluid

• Degreaser solvent (Petroleum distillate)

• Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)

These products (with the exception of transformer oil) are stored in a variety of containers including aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), generator fuel ASTs, mobile fuel tankers, 55-gallon drums, and smaller containers (less than 30 gallon capacity). Appendix A lists specific information for the SPCC-regulated containers at the installation. All of the regulated-tanks and containers are designed to operate at ambient temperatures and pressure. With the exception of ASTs, all regulated containers are stored under roofs inside buildings with spill kits nearby. In addition, all containers are designed to be compatible with the material stored.

July 2019 2-4

2.3 CONTAINERS NOT COVERED BY THIS PLAN

There are several organizations, in addition to DOD personnel, contractors and cattle lessees, who perform work (outside of the industrial area) on the installation that utilize portable

POL storage containers on a temporary basis for fueling equipment such as farm tractors, timber harvesting, construction, and mowing equipment. There are also storage buildings within the cantonment area, as described in this subsection, that use and store POLs and hazardous materials in quantities that are exempt from SPCC regulations due to the size of the containers.

A generic description of the products and locations of the storage containers are summarized in this subsection. Each organization is responsible for maintaining it’s facility to include inventory of products, Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), and handling of the products for their operational use.

All of the storage buildings in this subsection are concrete fabricated, labeled “No Smoking” and contain spill kits.

Natural Resources, Building No. 3030

• POL and hazardous materials stored at this facility include gasoline (5 gal can), lubricating oil 30 wt., aerosol paints for tree marking, and miscellaneous lubricants for operating chain saws and weed trimmers.

Structural Maintenance, Building No 3032

• Small quantities of paints (exterior latex and oil-base stain in 1 gallon and 5 gallon containers), rust preventive liquids (quart bottles) aerosol rubber seal compound, and lubricating oil 15/40wt used for in service runway barriers.

July 2019 2-5

Entomology Shop, Building 25

• The Entomology Shop stores both pesticides and herbicides in small quantities as defined in the APAFR Pesticide Management Plan. Typical products used and stored within the ventilated storeroom of this facility include: Roundup Ultra, Rodeo, GLY 4, Andro Fire

Ant bait, and variety of aerosol products for pest control. All container products stored within Building 25 are inventoried and managed in accordance with the APAFR Pesticide

Management Plan. The Base Operations Support Contractor (BOS) has a certified employee who is responsible for handling pesticides and herbicides for application on the installation. The Entomology Shop is a secured facility and is constructed with positive air ventilation. The shop is posted with gates and fencing. The container storage area is designed with secondary containment curbing and concrete flooring and shelving for storage of products. Herbicide or pesticide applications are used the same day they are formulated; thus, storage is not required for makeup solutions.

General Contractors Containers

Containers owned and operated by contractors temporarily working on the range are not covered by this plan. Such containers may include diesel power earthmoving equipment, fuel tanker trucks, and/or small 300 gallon (skid mounted ASTs). Each contractor is responsible for determining SPCC applicability and developing site-specific work plans that address spill prevention to include health and safety of workers. Spill response activities will involve installation personnel for spill reporting and may invoke the range HAZMAT, depending on severity of the spill incident. All Contractors performing work on the installation are instructed to provide SDSs for hazardous materials used on the installation and must provide copies to the

Environmental Flight for use of the materials; therefore, such containers or hazardous material quantities are not addressed in this plan.

Local Electric Cooperative

Peace River Electrical Cooperative, Inc. (PRECO) owns and operates a transformer station located adjacent to the old entrance road which is west of the cantonment area. The transformer substation contains oil-filled equipment with capacity that exceeds 55 gal.

Containers owned and maintained under the jurisdiction of PRECO are provided in Section 5.5

July 2019 2-6 of this Plan. The letter of agreement with PRECO for these containers is provided in Appendix

B.

Florida Correctional Facilities

The State of Florida owns and operates a state prison, Avon Park Correctional Institution

(APCI) and the Avon Park Youth Academy is responsible for any SPCC-regulated containers at these facilities. Containers at these locations are not covered by this Plan.

Permanent Closed Containers

APAFR is not subject to permanent closed containers/tanks provisions for reporting under SPCC regulations or storage tank regulations pursuant to Florida Rule § 62-762. A campaign beginning in 1993 was initiated and completed in April 2000, in which all underground storage tanks (USTs) and ASTs subject to upgrade requirements have been removed from the various POL facilities. Location of the permanent closed facility can be reviewed from the appropriate site and closure assessment reports. Closure assessments under

Florida Rule § 62-780 have been completed with no further action approved for 14 facilities.

One of the facilities where former container/storage tanks were located are in the remedial phase for cleanup of the sites. Table 2.1 lists a summary of permanently closed container facilities.

2.4 NAVIGABLE WATERS

The EPA defines “navigable waters” in 40 CFR 112.2. The term includes wetlands, lakes, bays, rivers, and streams of the United States. Practically, navigable waters include all waterways of the US, including seasonally dry streambeds.

There is primarily one body of water that borders the industrial area of the installation in which regulated containers are used and stored. The body of water is close enough to the facilities in proximity, that it could be affected by a spill. The body of water includes the Rim

Canal and storm drainage ditches, which are regulated under the installation’s industrial storm water permit. Storm Water Outfalls (Outfalls 1B, 6, and 7) that discharge to the Rim Canal and

Arbuckle Creek are monitored in accordance with APAFR Storm Water Pollution Prevention

Plan.

The Rim Canal is manmade and is exclusively used for storm water controls in the industrial area and the auxiliary airfield. The Rim Canal is not navigable; therefore, it is not considered water of the US. However, water from these streams eventually flows to Arbuckle

Creek, which is classified as a navigable waterway. Effluent or spill in the Rim Canal has to travel 1.3 miles before it would reach Arbuckle Creek. Figure 2-4 shows a portion of the Rim

Canal and site-specific drainage areas associated with facility container storage areas. The containment and spill preventive measures addressing a potential release to the Rim Canal and storm water drainage systems is discussed in Section 5.6.3 of this plan.

In addition to containers and storage tanks used within the industrial area of the installation; containers/ASTs are operated within only one impact area; Charlie Range. These storage containers are built with secondary containment and store diesel for generators, which

July 2019 2-8 provide emergency power to the range towers. Section 5.6 details the specifications for the generator ASTs, inspections, and methods used for spill prevention. Spill kits are maintained at the facility to provide immediate response.

3.0 APPLICABILITY DETERMINATION

According to 40 CFR 112.1, APAFR requires an SPCC Plan. The installation is not a transportation-related facility and is not in the bulk transport of POL. However, the facility-wide

ASTs totals more than 1,320 gallons, and oil discharges could potentially reached navigable waters; if sufficient spill controls are not in place. For these reasons, the facility must prepare an

SPCC Plan.

40 CFR 112.20(f) requires that affected facilities determine their potential for Substantial

Harm and the ensuring requirement to File a Facility Response Plan (FRP) with the EPA

Administrator. Figure 3-1 shows the Flowchart of Criteria for Substantial Harm from

Attachment C-1 to Appendix C of 40 CFR 112. This flowchart prompts several questions regarding the facility processes and storage capacity. As required in 40 CFR 112.20(f), the

Certification of the Applicability of the Substantial Harm Criteria is included in Appendix C of this plan.

Under the current definition of navigable waters, APAFR does not pose substantial harm to fish and wildlife sensitive environment or a drinking water intake. The installation is therefore not required to prepare a Facility Response Plan. In addition, APAFR is not subject to the state, Bureau of Emergency Response Planning (ERP) personal communication (Mr. Phil Wieczynski, FDEP Tallahassee, Florida).

4.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

4.1 PLAN REVIEW AND SUBMITTAL

This plan must be reviewed and evaluated at least every five (5) years. If there are any technical amendments to the plan, a Professional Engineer must recertify the plan. Technical amendments include changes to the plan that require engineering practice, such as physical modifications or changes in facility procedures. If changes are non-technical or administrative in nature (e.g., contact name, phone number, container identification number, etc.) then the facility owner may recertify the plan and indicate no technical changes were made. This plan must be amended within six-months of the review if more effective, field proven prevention and control technologies, that would significantly reduce the likelihood of a discharge, are available at time of the review.

This plan must be updated when there is a change in facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for discharge. Examples of changes that may require amendment of the plan include, but are not limited to: commissioning or decommissioning containers/tanks; replacement, reconstruction, or movement of containers;

reconstruction, replacement, or installation of piping systems; construction or demolition that might alter secondary containment structures; changes of product service; or revision of standard operation or maintenance procedures at a facility. Movement of containers within an area that does not increase the potential for a discharge would not require an update to the plan.

An amendment made to the plan must be prepared within six months of a change in facility operation, and implemented as soon as possible, but no later than six months following preparation of the amendment. The revision page at the beginning of this plan must be updated to include all technical and non-technical changes to the plan.

July 2019 4-2

A report must be submitted to the EPA Regional Administrator and the state agency managing the SPCC program only if the facility has:

• Discharged more than 1,000 gallons of oil in a single discharge or

• Discharged more than 42 gallons of oil in each of two discharges, occurring within any 12-month period.

40 CFR 112.4(a) lists the information that must be submitted to the US EPA Regional

Administrator no less than 60 days from the date of the discharge that required the submittal. The required information is also presented in Table 4.1. The Regional administrator or state agency may require that personnel submit the SPPC Plan for review for such occurrence at the facility.

4.2 CONFORMANCE WITH FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS

The Plan is developed in conformance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. The main purpose of this Plan is to comply with applicable requirements of 40 CFR

112.

State specific requirements applicable to spill containment and operation and maintenance for storage tanks are set forth under § 62-762, “Above Ground Storage Tank

Systems”. Notification requirements under FDEP regulations are extensive under § 62-762.411.

General requirements include notification for the start of: (1) a new storage tank, (2) replacement or upgrade, (3) change of status from in-service to out-of-service, and (4) change in owner or operator status. Notification is required for any discovery of discharge of pollutant on impervious surfaces other than secondary containment from a tank system that exceeds 100 gallons or 500 gallons inside secondary containment systems. Any pollutant discharge exceeding the reportable quantities (RQ) defined under the Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation Liability Act (CERCLA) Sect. 302 requires notification/reporting within one working day to the National Response Center (NRC) (refer to the Emergency Contact

Directory in the front of this plan). A summary of pertinent storage tank regulations under state jurisdiction is provided in Table 4.2.
