Naval Station Newport, RI SPCC Plan April 2022

1.0 PLAN ADMINISTRATION

1.1. SPCC Background Information

1.1.1. SPCC and Related Oil Handling Regulatory Requirements

Naval Station Newport meets the definition of a “non-transportation-related” facility and stores more than 1,320 gallons of oil products in aboveground storage tanks (ASTs). The facility meets the applicability threshold of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 112 (or §112) and is therefore subject to the United States (US) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Regulations and must develop an SPCC Plan.

Naval Station Newport requires a Facility Response Plan as defined by the Substantial Harm Criteria in §112.20. The Certification of Substantial Harm Determination is located on page v of this document. Naval Station Newport has met this requirement by preparation of a Facility Response Plan.

Naval Station Newport is required to prepare a Storage Tank Management Plan (STMP) as part of the Navy environmental policy as defined by Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) M-5090.1, Environmental Readiness Program Manual (25 June 2021). The STMP has similar although not identical requirements as those of the SPCC program. The STMP requirements not addressed in the SPCC Plan are presented in Appendix A. The intention of this approach is to meet all SPCC and STMP requirements in a single document.

1.1.2. SPCC Purpose

The purpose of this SPCC Plan is to establish procedures, methods, equipment, and other requirements necessary to prevent the discharge of oil into or on navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines. The term “oil” is defined in §112 as oil of any kind or in any form, including, but not limited to: fats, oils, or greases of animal, fish, or marine mammal origin;

vegetable oils, including oils from seeds, nuts, fruits, or kernels; and, other oils and greases, including petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, synthetic oils, mineral oils, oil refuse, or oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil. The terms “petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POL)” and “oil” may be used interchangeably throughout the document and are intended to include the complete realm of substances regulated under §112.

This Plan is intended to prepare the owner Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) and operator Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Public Works Department (PWD) Newport, to ensure early detection and quick response in the event of a discharge of oil and to allow the Operator to respond in a safe, effective, and timely manner to mitigate the impacts of a discharge from the containers included in this Plan. The Operator is responsible to accomplish all actions directed in this Plan.

1.1.3. SPCC Plan Administration

CNIC delegates the responsibility for environmental compliance at Naval Station Newport and the authority to prepare, implement, review, and amend the installation’s SPCC Plan to PWD Newport.

PWD Newport is responsible for the following:

Naval Station Newport, RI SPCC Plan April 2022

Maintaining a current SPCC Plan Receiving oil spill reports and notifying appropriate agencies Coordination of all SPCC activities with other Naval Station Newport tenants Providing technical direction/assistance as needed to minimize potential for exposure of personnel and/or environment to conditions resulting from spillage or leakage Providing personnel involved with SPCC compliance with proper spill prevention procedures, inspection checklists, record keeping procedures, and training.

This Plan was prepared by NAVFAC Atlantic in accordance with the provisions of §112, applicable state regulations, various industry standards, and OPNAV M-5090.1. Facilities located within the facility boundary of Naval Station Newport that store and transfer oil are included in this plan because the total amount of oil stored on the installation exceeds the SPCC Rule threshold of 1,320 gallons of regulated oil stored above ground. Further, their location is such that they may reasonably be expected to discharge oil in harmful quantities into or upon navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, into the subsurface aquifer, or outside the Naval Station Newport property onto non-Federal land. This SPCC Plan supersedes and replaces all editions of all previous SPCC Plans.

1.2. Certification of Substantial Harm Determination [40 CFR 112.20(e)]

§112.20(e) If the owner or operator of a facility determines pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) of this section that the facility could not, because of its location, reasonably be expected to cause substantial harm to the environment by discharging oil into or on the navigable waters or adjoining shorelines, the owner or operator shall complete and maintain at the facility the certification form contained in appendix C to this part and, in the event an alternative formula that is comparable to one contained in appendix C to this part is used to evaluate the criterion in paragraph (f)(1)(ii)(B) or (f)(1)(ii)(C) of this section, the owner or operator shall attach documentation to the certification form that demonstrates the reliability and analytical soundness of the comparable formula and shall notify the Regional Administrator in writing that an alternative formula was used.

The Certification of the Applicability of the Substantial Harm Criteria Checklist is located on page v.

Naval Station Newport requires a Facility Response Plan as defined by the Substantial Harm Criteria in §112.20.

1.3. Designated Person [40 CFR 112.7(f)(2)]

§112.7(f)(2) Designate a person at each applicable facility who is accountable for discharge prevention and who reports to facility management.

The Installation Environmental Program Director (IEPD) for Naval Station Newport is the Designated Person described in §112.7(f)(2) who reports to facility management and is accountable for discharge prevention.

See Section 6 of this Plan for additional contact information.

1.4. Professional Engineer Certification [40 CFR 112.3(d)]

The Professional Engineer Certification is located on page vi of the Plan.

Naval Station Newport, RI SPCC Plan April 2022

1.5. Location of SPCC Plan [40 CFR 112.3(e)]

§112.3(e) If you are the owner or operator of a facility for which a Plan is required under this section, you must:

(1) Maintain a complete copy of the Plan at the facility if the facility is normally attended at least four hours per day, or at the nearest field office if the facility is not so attended, and (2) Have the Plan available to the Regional Administrator for on-site review during normal working hours.

Environmental compliance oversight is provided to Naval Station Newport through the IEPD. In accordance with §112.3(e), a complete copy of this Plan is maintained at the Public Works Office, Environmental Department in Building 1, Naval Station Newport. The Environmental Department Office is attended 0700 to 1600, 5 days per week (closed on Saturdays and Sundays).

1.6. SPCC Plan Review [40 CFR 112.5(b)]

§112.5(b) Notwithstanding compliance with paragraph (a) of this section, complete a review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan at least once every five years from the date your facility becomes subject to this part; or, if your facility was in operation on or before August 16, 2002, five years from the date your last review was required under this part. As a result of this review and evaluation, you must amend your SPCC Plan within six months of the review to include more effective prevention and control technology if the technology has been field-proven at the time of the review and will significantly reduce the likelihood of a discharge as described in §112.1(b) from the facility. You must implement any amendment as soon as possible, but not later than six months following preparation of any amendment. You must document your completion of the review and evaluation, and must sign a statement as to whether you will amend the Plan, either at the beginning or end of the Plan or in a log or an appendix to the Plan. The following words will suffice, “I have completed review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan for (name of facility) on (date), and will (will not) amend the Plan as a result.”

The Naval Station Newport IEPD is responsible for initiating and coordinating comprehensive reviews of the SPCC Plan at least once every five years. The IEPD or designee will amend this Plan within six months of the review and will implement the amended Plan within six months of the amendment to include more effective prevention and control technology if such technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill event and if such technology has been field proven at the time of the review. Such updates are considered technical amendments and must be certified by a PE. Reviews and amendments of the Plan will be documented in the Record of Review and Amendments located on page vii of this Plan.

1.7. Amendments of SPCC Plans [40 CFR 112.5(a)]

§112.5(a) Amend the SPCC Plan for your facility in accordance with the general requirements in §112.7, and with any specific section of this part applicable to your facility, when there is a change in the facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge as described in §112.1(b). Examples of changes that may require amendment of the Plan include, but are not limited to: commissioning or decommissioning containers; 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 or service; or revision of standard operation or maintenance procedures at a facility. An amendment made under this section must be prepared within six months, and implemented as soon as possible, but not later than six months following preparation of the amendment.

In accordance with §112.5(a), the SPCC Plan will be amended and recorded in the Record of Review and Amendments whenever there is any change in the facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects the facility’s potential for an oil discharge, including, but not limited to:

§112.7(a)(3) Describe in your Plan the physical layout of the facility and include a facility diagram, which must mark the location and contents of each fixed oil storage container and the storage area where mobile or portable containers are located. The facility diagram must identify the location of and mark as “exempt” underground tanks that are otherwise exempted from the requirements of this part under §112.1(d)(4). The facility diagram must also include all transfer stations and connecting pipes, including intra-facility gathering lines that are otherwise exempted from the requirements of this part under §112.1(d)(11). You must also address in your Plan:

Naval Station Newport occupies approximately 1,500 non-contiguous acres in Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth, Rhode Island along the western shore of Aquidneck Island along the east passage of Narragansett Bay. There are numerous tenant commands within the Newport Naval Complex, including, but not limited to, Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Newport, Naval War College, and Naval Health Clinic New England (NHCNE). The primary mission of Naval Station Newport is training and support.

The facility is organized into the following eight functional areas:

Coasters Harbor Island

Naval Station Newport, RI SPCC Plan April 2022

Coddington Cove Coddington Point Melville (North and South) Midway Fort Adams

NHCNE

NUWC

The Operator has determined the extents of the Facility boundary as defined in the SPCC Rule based on the ownership and operation of equipment at Naval Station Newport. The Facility consists of all the operations and land area encompassed by the security perimeter fences at Naval Station Newport, NHCNE (identified as Naval Hospital in parts of this Plan), and NUWC as well as areas outside the security perimeter at Melville, Midway, and Fort Adams.

Naval Station Newport remote facilities at Seneca Lake and Fishers Island are not covered under this SPCC Plan.

2.2. Naval Station Newport SPCC-Related Activities

Figure 1 is a facility map for Naval Station Newport that provides the physical location for each site with an SPCC-regulated asset other than Oil-Filled Operational Equipment (OFOE).

Individual diagrams for buildings with tanks are located in Section 5.2.1 and include site-specific compliance information, such as oil storage container details, contents, capacity, discharge prevention measures, potential release scenarios with appropriate secondary containment assessments, and discharge controls. Similar details concerning drum and portable container storage areas, mobile equipment, and mobile refuelers are found in Sections 5.2.2, 5.2.3, and 5.2.4, respectively.

The cover page of Figure 1 is a vicinity map depicting the location and facility boundary of Naval Station Newport.

Figure 2 is a facility map for Naval Station Newport that provides the physical location for each site with OFOE.

Figures 1 and 2 are located in an enclosure at the end of this document.

The Figure 1 facility map, Figure 2 OFOE map, and individual diagrams for each container site in Section 5 together satisfy the facility diagram requirements of §112.7(a)(3).

Underground storage tanks (USTs) that are fully regulated under 40 CFR 280 are included in this Plan for management / inventory purposes and for SPCC evaluation of overfill prevention. Spill release scenarios relating to transfer of oil into and out of these tanks are assessed and appropriate secondary containment measures are specified in Appendix B of this Plan. Because these tanks are fully regulated under 40 CFR 280 (or a delegated state UST program), the USTs are marked EXEMPT on the individual facility diagrams in Section 5.2.1, per 40 CFR 112.7(a)(3) requirements.

Verizon operates diesel generators to provide emergency power for communication equipment at Naval Station Newport. These assets are owned and managed by Verizon and are therefore not included in this plan. Any releases associated with these assets shall be reported using the procedures identified in Section 6 of this Plan. Verizon is solely responsible for all spill response and recovery costs associated with releases from these assets.

Naval Station Newport, RI SPCC Plan April 2022

Oil-containing equipment at Naval Station Newport not included in this Plan also includes OFOE within the facility boundaries associated with the electrical utility and distribution system that is not under Navy ownership or control. These assets are owned and managed by National Grid and are therefore not included in this plan. Spill response instructions for these assets are included in Section 5.2.5 of this Plan.

2.3. SPCC-Related Facility Changes Since Publication of the Prior Plan

Naval Station Newport has adopted Steel Tank Institute (STI) Standard for the Inspection of Aboveground Storage Tanks SP001, January 2018 (6th Edition) as the tank inspection industry standard to comply with 40 CFR 112.8(c)(6). The 6th edition of SP001 departs in two significant areas from the version in use when the 2017 SPCC Plan was prepared.

1. STI SP001, 6th Edition allows the use of inspection forms in a format other than those included in the standard as long as they have the same content. Because of this change, this SPCC Plan does contain an Environmental Equivalence determination to justify the use of alternate inspection forms.

2. STI SP001 6th Edition incorporates an inspection process for concrete-encased double-walled tanks. Because of this change, a hybrid inspection program for concrete-encased double-walled tanks is not included in this SPCC Plan.

An additional significant change to the operations at Naval Station Newport is the recharacterization of the fuel transfer area (Facility U193) for field-constructed tanks R168 and R169. The prior version of this SPCC Plan prepared in 2017 identified the fuel transfer area at Building U193 that serves tanks R168 and R169 as a loading rack. The U193 loading area is not equipped with a rigid loading arm and consequently does not meet the regulatory definition of loading rack.

2.4. Facilities, Procedures, Methods, or Equipment That Are Not Yet Fully Operational

[40 CFR 112.7]

§112.7 . . . If the Plan calls for additional facilities or procedures, methods, or equipment not yet fully operational, you must discuss these items in separate paragraphs, and must explain separately the details of installation and operational start-up.

There are no immediate plans for additional storage containers as of the writing of this Plan, and the oil storage containers and operations included in this Plan are fully operational. This Plan will be amended as new equipment or procedures are placed into service.

No additional discussion is required per §112.7.

Naval Station Newport, RI SPCC Plan April 2022

3.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SPCC PLANS

Naval Station Newport exceeds the applicability threshold of §112 and must meet the general requirements for all SPCC Plans under §112.7.

The following measures are implemented to prevent oil discharges during the handling, use, or transfer of oil products at Naval Station Newport.

3.1. Conformance with Requirements [40 CFR 112.7(a)(1)]

§112.7(a)(1) Include a discussion of your facility's conformance with the requirements listed in this part.

The oil storage containers, drum and portable containers, mobile equipment, mobile refuelers, OFOE, and all associated POL management processes included in this Plan conform to the requirements of §112 with the exception of the nonconformance issues noted in the text and presented in the SPCC Conformance Summary included as Appendix C.

3.2. Environmental Equivalence [40 CFR 112.7(a)(2)]

§112.7(a)(2) Comply with all applicable requirements listed in this part. Except as provided in §112.6, your Plan may deviate from the requirements in paragraphs (g), (h)(2) and (3), and (i) of this section and the requirements in subparts B and C of this part, except the secondary containment requirements in paragraphs (c) and (h)(1) of this section, and §§112.8(c)(2), 112.8(c)(11), 112.9(c)(2), 112.9(d)(3), 112.10(c), 112.12(c)(2), and 112.12(c)(11), where applicable to a specific facility, if you provide equivalent environmental protection by some other means of spill prevention, control, or countermeasure. Where your Plan does not conform to the applicable requirements in paragraphs (g), (h)(2) and (3), and (i) of this section, or the requirements of subparts B and C of this part, except the secondary containment requirements in paragraph (c) and (h)(1) of this section, and §§112.8(c)(2), 112.8(c)(11), 112.9(c)(2), 112.10(c), 112.12(c)(2), and 112.12(c)(11), you must state the reasons for nonconformance in your Plan and describe in detail alternate methods and how you will achieve equivalent environmental protection. If the Regional Administrator determines that the measures described in your Plan do not provide equivalent environmental protection, he may require that you amend your Plan, following the procedures in §112.4(d) and (e).

Except as discussed in this section, this Plan does not deviate from the requirements in §112.

For instances where this Plan deviates from the requirements in the SPCC Rule, this section includes the reasons for nonconformance, detailed alternate methods, and an explanation of how equivalent environmental protection will be achieved. Per the SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors (GRI), 2013 edition, page 3-1, “environmental equivalence need not be a mathematical equivalence, but it must achieve the same desired outcome, though not necessarily through the same mode of operation (see 67 Federal Register {FR} 47095, July 17, 2002).”

3.2.1. Preventing Physical Damage to Aboveground Piping

Reason for Nonconformance After considering facility layout and EPA guidance, the PE certifying this Plan is deviating from the requirement in §112.8(d)(5) to warn all vehicles entering the facility to be sure that no vehicle will endanger aboveground piping or other oil transfer operations. Physical damage to aboveground piping and other equipment may be protected from the possibility of a collision by installing fencing, barriers, curbing, or other physical obstacles.

Environmentally Equivalent Alternative The primary protection for aboveground piping connected to bulk storage containers against vehicular collision is by routing piping away from traffic. In those cases where tank and/or pipe

Naval Station Newport, RI SPCC Plan April 2022 systems are located in areas susceptible to damage from vehicles, protective measures are in place such as fencing, barriers, or curbing. This approach provides superior environmental protection as compared to verbal or written warnings to drivers by physically preventing vehicular damage to piping systems. Any sites with inadequate protection are included in the SPCC Conformance Summary in Appendix C.

3.3. Discharge Prevention Measures [40 CFR 112.7(a)(3)(ii)]

§112.7(a)(3) Describe in your Plan …

(ii) Discharge prevention measures including procedures for routine handling of products (loading, unloading, and facility transfers, etc.);

Naval Station Newport personnel follow written procedures for routine transfer of products as a key element of discharge prevention. These procedures are periodically reviewed and updated as needed to reflect best management practices, equipment changes, or other aspects that may contribute to spill prevention. Appendix D provides the Fuel Handling Standard Operating Procedures which describes discharge prevention measures associated with routine product handling procedures.

3.4. Discharge or Drainage Controls [40 CFR 112.7(a)(3)(iii)]

§112.7(a)(3) Describe in your Plan …

(iii) Discharge or drainage controls such as secondary containment around containers and other structures, equipment, and procedures for the control of a discharge;

Site-specific information sheets and site maps in Section 5.2.1 of this plan describes the containment or diversionary structures and discharge or drainage controls at each storage tank location. Sections 5.2.2, 5.2.3, 5.2.4, and 5.2.5 contain information on secondary containment for portable container storage areas, mobile equipment, mobile refuelers, and OFOE, respectively.

3.5. Predicted Direction, Rate of Flow, and Total Quantity of Oil Discharged as a

Result of Equipment Failure [40 CFR 112.7(b)]

§112.7(b) Where experience indicates a reasonable potential for equipment failure (such as loading or unloading equipment, tank overflow, rupture, or leakage, or any other equipment known to be a source of a discharge), include in your Plan a prediction of the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil which could be discharged from the facility as a result of each type of major equipment failure.

Experience indicates a reasonable potential for equipment failure (such as loading or unloading equipment, tank overflow, rupture, or leakage, or any other equipment known to be a source of a discharge) for all bulk storage containers included in this Plan.

Appendix B contains a Potential General Secondary Containment Release Scenario Library to provide the required information in which all potential release scenarios have been identified for petroleum storage tanks at Naval Station Newport. The library identifies each potential release scenario by number and provides detailed information including a text description of the scenario, projected rate of flow, total quantity that could be expected to discharge, typical response times, most likely quantity to be discharged, containment measures in place, and information concerning response personnel requirements.

Naval Station Newport, RI SPCC Plan April 2022

General secondary containment information for drum and portable containers, mobile equipment, and mobile refuelers are contained on individual data sheets in sections 5.2.2, 5.2.3, and 5.2.4, respectively.

In addition, site maps for individual oil container sites in Section 5.2 depict flow direction and likely fate in the event of a release.

Appendix E is a list of general assumptions and calculations used to develop the numerical data presented in the data package for each individual container in Section 5 and the general secondary containment requirements identified in Appendix B.

3.6. Secondary Containment to Address Typical Failure Modes [40 CFR 112.7(c)]

§112.7(c) Provide appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment to prevent a discharge as described in §112.1(b), except as provided in paragraph (k) of this section for qualified oil-filled operational equipment, and except as provided in §112.9(d)(3) for flowlines and intra-facility gathering lines at an oil production facility. The entire containment system, including walls and floor, must be capable of containing oil and must be constructed so that any discharge from a primary containment system, such as a tank, will not escape the containment system before cleanup occurs. In determining the method, design, and capacity for secondary containment, you need only to address the typical failure mode, and the most likely quantity of oil that would be discharged. Secondary containment may be either active or passive in design. At a minimum, you must use one of the following prevention systems or its equivalent:

(1) For onshore facilities:

(i) Dikes, berms, or retaining walls sufficiently impervious to contain oil;

(ii) Curbing or drip pans;

(iii) Sumps and collection systems;

(iv) Culverting, gutters, or other drainage systems;

(v) Weirs, booms, or other barriers;

(vi) Spill diversion ponds;

(vii) Retention ponds; or

(viii) Sorbent materials.

3.6.1. Bulk Storage Containers

Methods of passive and active secondary containment intended to comply with the provisions of §112.7(c) for containers included in this Plan include a combination of structures that serve as passive containment measures (e.g., dike, spill pallet, or built-in secondary containment) and active spill response methods (e.g., drain cover, sorbent, oil-dry, or kitty litter) to prevent the most likely quantity of oil discharged during a typical failure mode from reaching navigable waters and adjoining shorelines.

In addition to the Potential General Secondary Containment Release Scenario Library, Appendix B also contains a General Secondary Containment Analysis Matrix spreadsheet that identifies every likely release scenario associated with each container, time for the identified releases to reach surface water based on the unique features of the tank installation site, and an assessment of whether adequate containment measures are in place to identify and respond to expected releases. Any release scenario identified for any tank that is found to have inadequate containment is identified in red in the Analysis Matrix and is included in the SPCC Conformance Summary in Appendix C along with recommended corrective actions. Volume calculations for passive containment devices are presented in Appendix E.

Naval Station Newport, RI SPCC Plan April 2022

3.6.2. Drum and Portable Container Storage Areas

Methods of secondary containment intended to comply with the provisions of §112.7(c) for drum and portable container storage areas are presented in Section 5.2.2. The active or passive methods of secondary containment, typical failure modes, and most likely quantities of oil that would be discharged during typical failure modes are presented on individual data sheets for each drum and portable container storage area in Section 5.2.2.

3.6.3. Mobile Equipment

Methods of secondary containment intended to comply with the provisions of §112.7(c) for mobile equipment with an internal storage capacity of non-motive power oil greater than or equal to 55 gallons are presented in Section 5.2.3. The containment requirements for this equipment during both storage and operational mode are addressed.

3.6.4. Mobile Refuelers

Naval Station Newport operates a single fuel truck to fill diesel generators. In addition to this traditional fuel delivery truck, Naval Station Newport also operates mobile petroleum dispensing systems which meet the regulatory definition of mobile refueler in §112.8(c)(2). The methods of general secondary containment intended to comply with the provisions of §112.7(c) are presented on individual data sheets in Section 5.2.4 and contain the active or passive methods of secondary containment, typical failure modes, and most likely quantities of oil that would be discharged during typical failures for all mobile refuelers.

3.6.5. Oil-Filled Operational Equipment

OFOE is equipment that includes an oil storage container in which the oil is present solely to support the function of the apparatus or device. OFOE at Naval Station Newport includes electrical equipment, such as transformers and switches, elevator hydraulic reservoirs, and industrial equipment spread throughout the facility.

Qualification for alternative secondary containment of OFOE at Naval Station Newport under §112.7(k) is discussed in Section 3.13 and the overall secondary containment strategy for OFOE is presented in Section 5.2.5. Appendix F contains an inventory of OFOE at Naval Station Newport.

3.7. Practicability of Secondary Containment [40 CFR 112.7(d)]

§112.7(d) Provided your Plan is certified by a licensed Professional Engineer under §112.3(d), or, in the case of a qualified facility that meets the criteria in §112.3(g), the relevant sections of your Plan are certified by a licensed Professional Engineer under §112.6(d), if you determine that the installation of any of the structures or pieces of equipment listed in paragraphs (c) and (h)(1) of this section, and §§112.8(c)(2), 112.8(c)(11), 112.9(c)(2), 112.10(c), 112.12(c)(2), and 112.12(c)(11) to prevent a discharge as described in §112.1(b) from any onshore or offshore facility is not practicable, you must clearly explain in your Plan why such measures are not practicable; for bulk storage containers, conduct both periodic integrity testing of the containers and periodic integrity and leak testing of the valves and…
