1. BACKGROUND.

a. Oil Pollution Prevention.

(1) In response to accidental releases of oil that occurred in the late 1980s and that caused extensive pollution of the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania and Alaska’s Prince William Sound, the federal government promulgated the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) of 1990. The requirements of the OPA are codified in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112 (40 CFR 112), Oil Pollution Prevention, which establishes procedures, methods and equipment requirements to prevent the discharge of oil into the navigable waters of the U.S.

(2) As the administering agency, the U.S. EPA mandates the preparation of an SPCC Plan per 40 CFR 112.1 by any facility that:

(a) By virtue of its location, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil in harmful quantities into navigable waters of the U.S. or adjoining shorelines; and

(b) Contains aboveground oil storage systems, including operating equipment, having a capacity of greater than 1,320 gallons individually or in the aggregate. This threshold quantity includes only the volume of containers that have a capacity of 55 gallons or greater.

(3) Patrick AFB is required to prepare an SPCC Plan because its aboveground oil storage capacity exceeds the 1,320-gallon threshold and an oil spill could potentially enter navigable waters of the U.S. 45 CES/CEIE, (321) 298-7022, monitors compliance with 40 CFR 112 for Patrick AFB and its remote operating location, MTA.

b. Definition of Facility.

(1) As defined in 40 CFR 112.2, the term “facility” includes, but is not limited to, any mobile or fixed building, property, parcel, lease, structure, installation, equipment, pipe, or pipeline used for oil storage, gathering, transfer and/or distribution. Further, “the boundaries of a facility depend on several site-specific factors, including, but not limited to, the ownership or operation of buildings, structures and equipment on the same site and the types of activity at the site.”

(2) In the publication EPA 550-B-05-001, SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors, Version 1.0, 28 November 2005, Section 2.3.1, the EPA states: “The extent of a ‘facility’ under SPCC depends on site-specific circumstances. Factors that may be considered relevant in delineating the boundaries of a facility for SPCC purposes may include, but are not limited to:

(a) Ownership, management and operation of the buildings, structures, equipment, Patrick AFB FL 32925-3299

1-2

UNCLASSIFIED/FOUO

installations, pipes, or pipelines on the site;

(b) Similarity in functions, operational characteristics and types of activities occurring at the site;

(c) Adjacency; or

(d) Shared drainage pathways (e.g., same receiving water bodies).

(3) As defined by 62-762.201(28) FAC, the term “facility” includes nonresidential locations that have or had any aboveground stationary tank(s) that contain or contained oil, with individual capacities greater than 550 gallons.

c. Navigable Waters. “Navigable waters” as defined in Section 502(7) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), includes: “all navigable waters of the U.S., as defined in judicial decisions prior to passage of the 1972 Amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Pub. L. 92-500) and tributaries of such waters; interstate waters; intrastate lakes, rivers and streams which are utilized by interstate travelers for recreational or other purposes;

and intrastate lakes, rivers and streams from which fish or shellfish are taken and sold in interstate commerce”.

d. Facilities Included in this SPCC Plan and Site Specific SPCC Plan. Based on the federal definition of facility and the potential to discharge to navigable waters of the U.S., this SPCC Plan and Site Specific SPCC Plan includes all oil storage or oil-containing equipment with capacities of at least 55 gallons that are owned or operated by the Air Force or are under the control of an Air Force-hired imbedded contractor at Patrick AFB and MTA. Government tenant organizations and permanent contractors that operate oil-filled equipment or oil storage containers of 55 gallons or greater in capacity are also included in this SPCC Plan.

e. Facilities Excluded from this SPCC Plan. The following facilities within the boundaries of Patrick AFB and MTA are involved in the storage of oil but are not further discussed in this SPCC Plan because they are owned and/or operated by non-Patrick AFB organizations.

These organizations are responsible for implementing proper spill planning and prevention measures to minimize the potential for accidental releases of oil. SPCC Plans, if required, are maintained at the respective facility locations by the managing organization.

(1) Florida Power and Light;

(2) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)-controlled buildings;

(3) Privatized housing; and

(4) Transient contractors.

f. Deviation from Spill Prevention and Planning Requirements. 40 CFR 112.7(a)(2) allows a facility to deviate from certain requirements in 40 CFR 112 Subparts A, B and C if equivalent environmental protection by some other means of spill prevention, control, or countermeasure is provided. The reasons for nonconformance must be described in the plan, as well as alternate methods and how equivalent environmental protection will be achieved.

A deviation from the engineered fail-safe feature requirements of 40 CFR 112.8(c)(8) for transfers of oil to or from 55-gallon drums at Patrick AFB is described in Section 3.b.2.h)(2) of this SPCC Plan. This deviation provides equivalent environmental protection as fail-safe features. No other deviations from SPCC requirements are described in this SPCC Plan.

g. Site Description.

(1) Patrick AFB Setting.

(a) Patrick AFB encompasses approximately 2,108 acres consisting of two noncontiguous land parcels joined by a road easement. The main base consists of 1,791 acres and contains family housing units, base facilities and an airfield. The base is located on an east coast barrier island of Brevard County, Florida, which is separated from the mainland by the Indian and Banana Rivers. It lies as a narrow sand strip that is considered a part to the barrier island system along the Atlantic Coast. It is located on State Route (SR) A1A approximately 15 miles south of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The topography of the area is relatively flat with an average elevation of approximately five to ten feet above sea level. The soil consists of sand with limited moisture holding capacity. Potable water is primarily supplied by the City of Cocoa located across the Banana River, approximately 30 miles away.

The City of Melbourne is the alternate potable water source for the base.

(b) The upper soil layers on Patrick AFB are composed of sands with a fairly high permeability that readily absorb rain water during normal rainfall events. However, high-volume rainfall events can provide sufficient water to exceed the soil's storage capacity, resulting in surface ponding and storm water runoff. Beneath these soils are a thick series of clays, sands, silt and shells that are up to 100 feet thick. These deposits are underlain by the Hawthorn Formation, which consists of calcareous clay and phosphate limestone and acts as the upper confining layer for the Floridian aquifer in this region.

(2) Navigable Waters of Patrick AFB. Consistent with applicable regulatory definitions provided above, the navigable waters that could be impacted by an oil spill on Patrick AFB include the Atlantic Ocean and Banana River.

(3) Storm Water Drainage Receiving Waters. Patrick AFB is divided into 67 separate drainage basins. Basins SB1 through SB4, Offsite E, Offsite W and 1A through 18B each have a drainage ditch that flows directly to the Banana River. Basin 19 flows to the Atlantic Ocean. Figure 1-2 shows the boundaries of these drainage basins, labeled "SB1"

through "SB4", “Offsite E”, “Offsite W” and “1A” through “19”.

Storm water runoff from the main base, from the dune ridge located west of SR A1A, generally drains west towards the Banana River. The beachfront area, located east of SR A1A, drains east towards the Atlantic Ocean. The southern residential area drains to a ditch located on the east side of South Patrick Drive, which discharges to a canal that leads to the Banana River.

(4) Storm Water Outfalls. There are 27 regulated storm water outfalls at Patrick AFB that discharge to the Banana River, or to a canal, a pond, or channel that leads to the Banana River. Outfalls are located at discharges from the headwaters of a channel, pond, or the river itself. The outfall configuration may be a storm sewer line, a culvert, or a ditch. There are no defined outfall points to the Atlantic Ocean.

(5) Groundwater. Water that infiltrates into the soil and does not evaporate or transpire will eventually reach the groundwater table and be added to the aquifer. In the barrier islands area where the soil is very sandy, a large part of the rainfall soaks into the ground.

Although part of this water is returned to the atmosphere by evaporation and transpiration, most of it seeps downward to the zone of saturation and moves laterally toward the Atlantic Ocean or Banana River.

(6) Oil Storage on Patrick AFB. Oil, which is defined in 40 CFR 112.2 and includes oil of any kind or in any form, is stored or used at a number of locations on Patrick AFB.

The types of oil stored in bulk on the installation typically include gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and used oil. Oil-filled equipment on the base consists primarily of transformers that are typically filled with mineral oil, elevators, cranes and forklifts that are filled with hydraulic fluid. Used cooking oils and grease are also accumulated at the various dining facilities prior to being picked up by a recycling contractor. 45 CES/CEIE maintains the inventory of oil storage containers subject to this SPCC Plan. Refer to Table A1-3 of the Site Specific SPCC Plan for a list of all oil storage containers on Patrick AFB and MTA that have a capacity of 55 gallons or more.

(a) Responsibility for the operation and maintenance of oil storage containers on Patrick AFB varies. A number of government agencies on the installation, including both host and tenant organizations, have owner or operator responsibilities for oil storage containers subject to this SPCC Plan. In addition, a number of these organizations rely on contracted support. The oil storage container inventory (Table A1-3 in the Site Specific SPCC Plan) and the Site Specific SPCC Plan identify the organizations responsible for these containers.

UNCLASSIFIED/FOUO

(b) Except as identified in Section 1.e., Facilities Excluded from this SPCC Plan, all oil containers that have a capacity of 55 gallons or greater on Patrick AFB are included in this plan. As of the date of this plan, there were no reportable spills per the criteria defined in 40 CFR 110.3 and 40 CFR 112.4(a).

(c) Potential causes for a release of oil at Patrick AFB and MTA could include tank or line rupture, gasket failure, or human error and would range from a slow leak (less than one gallon per minute) to a catastrophic tank failure up to the maximum capacity of each individual tank. The worst case discharge at Patrick AFB would be 100,000 gallons which would occur at the South Tank Farm (tank ID numbers 662 through 667). It is unlikely that a release from these tanks would travel offsite. Potential receiving navigable waters include the Banana River and the Atlantic Ocean.

h. Management of USTs.

(1) There are ten USTs used at Patrick AFB for the storage of oil. These USTs are subject to the full provisions of 40 CFR 280 and 62-761 FAC, Underground Storage Tank Systems. These USTs are exempt from the requirements of 40 CFR 112. The locations of these USTs are identified in the Site Specific SPCC Plan.

i. Management of Oil-Filled Equipment.

(1) Transformers.

(a) Electrical transformers installed across Patrick AFB constitute the majority of oil-filled equipment on the installation. The current inventory of all transformers on the installation is available in Table A1-4 of the Site Specific SPCC Plan. The infrastructure of transformers across the base is similar to that found in any small city.

In particular, the number and location of these transformers changes constantly in conjunction with new construction, facility closures, evolving mission requirements and replacement of obsolete equipment.

(b) Transformers are owned and maintained by the Operations Flight, Facility Electrical Systems. Assigned personnel are trained and skilled in spill response procedures, perform annual inspections (inspection checklists are included in Attachment 3 of this plan), carry spill kits in their maintenance vehicles and are on-call 24 hours per day, seven days per week for transformer maintenance or spill response.

(2) Hydraulic Systems. Buildings with elevator reservoirs and hydraulic equipment with a tank capacity of 55 gallons or greater are identified in Tables A1-3 and A1-4 and depicted in the Site Specific SPCC Plan.

(a) A number of facilities at Patrick AFB are equipped with hydraulic elevators.

3. APPROACH.

a. Spill Prevention and Planning.

(1) This section outlines procedures for preventing spills of oil through regular surveillance and inspection of facilities and operations that have the potential to discharge oil. Each responsible owner or operator of oil storage tanks at Patrick AFB and MTA, including tenants and imbedded contractors, is responsible for implementing proper spill planning and prevention measures to minimize the potential for accidental releases of oil.

This section provides written procedures for the following aspects of spill prevention and planning:

(a) Maintaining inventories of locations and facilities that use or store oil.

(b) Performing operations in a manner that will minimize the potential for spills of oil.

(c) Conducting regular inspections of facilities and operations to facilitate the early detection of spills and leaks.

(2) A series of checklists were developed to assist responsible owners or operators at Patrick AFB and MTA in determining spill prevention and planning requirements and performing inspections and associated reporting for spill prevention purposes. The inspection checklists are provided in Attachment 3 of this SPCC Plan.

(3) Spill prevention and response planning must identify the operations, equipment and processes that have the potential to cause a spill. The spill prevention and planning process includes a detailed evaluation of the following, as applicable, for each facility or operation:

(a) ASTs.

(b) Oil transfer equipment (e.g., piping, valves, etc.).

(c) Oil/water separators routed to the storm sewer system or serving as secondary containment for a bulk oil storage container.

(d) Oil containers (55-gallons or greater).

(e) Oil-filled processing equipment (e.g., transformers, elevators, hydraulic equipment).

(f) Oil loading, off-loading and transportation operations.

3-2

(4) Routine inspections of equipment and operations are conducted at Patrick AFB and MTA. Table 3-1 is a guide to aid in identifying inspection and reporting requirements for the operations listed above. Responsible owners or operators of oil storage containers should reference Table 3-1 to determine the appropriate checklists to use when conducting inspections and the required frequency for inspections. The Site Specific SPCC Plan provides site-specific information that should be used when referencing Table 3-1; however, responsible owners or operators must ensure that the site-specific information is kept current by occasionally surveying their facility for operational changes with respect to this SPCC Plan.
