2 REGULATORY BACKGROUND

2.1 Purpose

The purpose of this plan is to provide detailed instructions for spills and batch discharges (slugs) prevention and control for all installation personnel at Thule AB.

As the wastewater system is not constantly used for drainage of storm water, the limitations of this plan are circumstances that potentially can have influence on the wastewater system.

Circumstances related to surface water can be found in the Storm Water Management Plan, CDRL CEV-15G.

Likewise, as no wastewater treatment plant has been installed there are no possibilities to control the quality of the discharged wastewater. A control system is being implemented but not as a part of this plan.

2.2 Scope

The provisions of the Slug Management Plan apply throughout Thule AB and to all personnel.

Certain responsibilities are assigned to selected individuals identified in the plan.

Related plans that are developed to cover other functions and may need to be consulted:

• Spill Prevention and Response Plan, CDRL CEV–15C

• Storm Water Management Plan, CDRL CEV–15G

• Hazardous Waste Management Plan, CDRL CEV-15B

• Hazardous Material Management Plan

2.3 Regulatory Overview

In accordance with USAF policy, Thule AB is required to comply with the following public laws and their respective regulations:

In accordance with the Final Governing Standards for the Environmental Protection by United States forces in Greenland (FGS-GL) 24 July 2003 C4.3.2.1.6: “Activities or installations that have a significant potential for spills or batch discharges will develop a slug prevention plan”.

The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires industrial facilities to reduce, minimize, or eliminate sources of pollution exposed to storm water runoff. The goals of the CWA are to make the rivers, lakes and streams fishable, swimmable and drinkable.

3 ORGANIZATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Inspection and maintenance of the wastewater pipe system.

3.7 Fire Protection, GC/AMF

The Fire Chief serves as the initial On-Scene Commander for emergency response actions.

4 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL SPILLS AND DISCHARGES

THAT CAN INFLUENCE THE SANITARY WASTEWATER SYSTEM

4.1 Introduction

A plan for Spills and Batch Discharges is required by C4.3.2.1.6 of the FGS. Activities or installations that have a significant potential for spills or batch discharges (into the Wastewater System) will develop a slug prevention plan. Each plan must contain the following minimum requirements:

• Description of discharge practices, including non-routine batch discharges.

• Description of stored chemicals.

• Plan for immediately notifying the Domestic Wastewater Treatment System (DWTS) of slug discharges and discharges that violate prohibitions under this section, including procedures for subsequent written notification within five days.

• Necessary practices to prevent accidental spills. This would include proper inspection and maintenance of storage areas, handling and transfer of materials, loading and unloading operations, control of plant site runoff, and worker training.

• Proper procedures for building containment structures or equipment.

• Necessary measures to control toxic organic pollutants and solvents.

• Proper procedures and equipment for emergency response, and any subsequent plans necessary to limit damage suffered by the treatment plant or the environment.

4.2 Facility Layout of the Sanitary Wastewater System (SWWS)

Thule AB is situated in an area with an extremely low population density approx. 25 miles from the nearest village. The climate is high arctic desert. Due to very low temperatures, the Sanitary Wastewater System (SWWS) has unconventionally been made of insulated black steel pipes situated above ground with heat tracing.

On base, the sewage runs gravitationally through the system to Bldg. 984, where it is discharged through an underwater pipeline into the North Star Bay.

At BMEWS, wastewater is led to a septic tank, from where it is dispersed over a mountainside.

Beside the fixed SWWS, wastewater from Det-3 and Bldg. 107, 561, 563, 760, 780, 1201, 1307, 1408, 1411, 1702, 1970 and 2403 is collected in a tank. A special truck collects the contents.

The contents are discharged into the SWWS at Bldg. 984.

The majority of water led to the SWWS originates from household sources like showers, washrooms, washing clothes and kitchens. The only direct drainages from floors outside the dormitories are in Bldg. 107, 118, 236 and 4016. In all other situations, the water is by pump or manually poured into the SWWS.

No Storm Water leads to the SWWS.

Consult Appendix 2 for a diagram of the SWWS on the main base.

4.3 Discharge Practices

The main discharges made to the SWWS are what can be expected for at place where 700 people are living and with some craftsman-like activities but without any industrial activities.

The discharges – recurring or not recurring are:

4.3.1 Discharges of sanitary wastewater collected by truck

Some of the wastewater is transported by truck, as mentioned in section 4.2.

4.3.2 Water from boilers and heating system

On main base, the primary source of heating originates from a system of high-pressure steam that is produced in three different places: Bldg. 1391, 241, and 341. Due to high levels of impurities in the boiler water, it is necessary to replace the water and discharge to the SWWS.

To prevent corrosion, a number of additives are used and subsequent discharged into the

SWWS.

Further heating is produced on low-pressure systems at Bldg. 1401, 1824 and 4016. From those places, only small amounts of boiler water are expected to be discharged to the SWWS – primarily in case of maintenance of the systems.

4.3.3 Water from washing of vehicles

Vehicles are washed at the following facilities: Bldg. 580, 836, 1408, 1410, and 1411. In all facilities, the water is discharged through a grit chamber to an oil/water separator.

The water is discharged from Bldg. 580, 1408, 1410 and 1411 into the sewage system. In Bldg.

836 the water is discharged to the Storm Water Drainage System. More information is available in the Storm Water Management Plan (CDRL CEV-15G).

The problem related to vehicle washing is, that the type of soap used will disperse the oil and water – hereby removing the intended effect of the gravitational oil/water separator. Additionally the water from washing of cars will have a large content of suspended material.

4.3.4 Water from the laundry shop

In the laundry shop, Bldg. 237, clothes are rinsed or washed. Residuals from the rinsing process are treated as Hazardous Waste and collected for disposal to ensure nothing is introduced to the SWWS. Water from the washing process is led to the SWWS directly from the machines. In case of spillage, the water will be recovered in a drain, from which the water will be pumped to the SWWS.

4.3.5 Water from parts washers

At Thule AB, there are 2 parts washers. They are located in Bldg. 580 and 4016.

The water from Bldg. 580 is led to an oil/water separator and to the SWWS. The water from Bldg. 4016 is led directly to the sewage system and any remaining slug is transferred to storage drums.

4.3.6 Discard of water from swimming pool

During the summer 2006, an endless pool was installed at the Sport and Fitness Center in Bldg.

608. From here, a small amount of water is introduced to the SWWS.

Beside the normal use of chlorine, the water is sanitized using a treatment filter that releases small quantities of copper and silver.

4.3.7 Intrusion of Storm Water

Although the SWWS is segregated from the Storm Water Drainage System, the division might be compromised. The pipes of the SWWS are situated in the ditches and culverts that form the Storm Water Drainage System. As the segregation between the SWWS and the Storm Water Drainage System is the guarantee against unintended pollutants that have been washed off by the surface water, it is important to keep the SWWS without leaks.

4.4 Storage of Chemicals, toxic organic pollutants and solvents Handling and storage of hazardous materials are at Thule AB managed by the Hazardous Material Management Plan. Major storages are kept in Bldg. 555, 580, 801 and 1391 and by Bldg 1091.

Handling and storage of hazardous waste at Thule AB is managed by the Hazardous Waste Management Plan (CDRL CEV-15B). Major storages are kept in Bldg. 551, 580, 604, 605 and 969.

The list of permanent storage facilities for hazardous materials/waste is included in the Hazardous Waste Management Plan.

The potential of accidental spillage of chemicals that might contaminate the SWWS is where sumps and floor drains are leading directly to the SWWS. In all other cases, the chemicals have to be manually poured or pumped into the drains.

4.5 Floor Drains

As mentioned in section 4.2, the only direct drainages into the SWWS from floors outside the dormitories are in Bldg. 107, 118, 236, and 4016. Special interest has to be made to these locations, as they are the only places where accidental releases of chemicals can occur.

4.5.1 Bldg. 118 – Hospital

Beside the drainages at the showers – for both staff and patients – there is a floor drain in the decontamination room. In case the room is used to decontaminate a patient, the water from the process will be discharged directly to the SWWS.

4.5.2 Bldg. 107 – Dundas Buffet Restaurant

In the kitchen in Bldg 107 several floor drains are installed. From the floor-drain, water is led to a grease trap, where grease and other low-density liquids with low solubility in water can be withheld. The water is subsequently discharged to the SWWS.

4.5.3 Bldg. 4016 – Power Plant, J-site

At the auxiliary power plant at J-site, a sump is located in a room containing a parts washer. The sump is drained directly to the SWWS – without an oil/water separator. Furthermore, there is a storage of POL and hazard materials. The waste is stored in four 55-gallon steel and plastic drums situated horizontally and with secondary containment to collect spillage of chemicals.

4.5.4 Bldg. 236 – TOW Club

Water discharged to the SWWS through the floor drains in the kitchen is also led through a grease interceptor.

4.6 Conclusion

The SWWS at Thule AB is very unusual as it is situated above the ground. At the same time, it is totally segregated from the Storm Water Drainage System. Hereby it is eliminated that outdoor spills of chemicals, POL and other contaminants might run off into the SWWS – except for the possibility that it might enter through a leakage during the short period, where the storm drains are flooded and hereby partly submerging the SWWS.

In terms of chemicals as Hazardous Materials, Hazardous Waste and POL, there is no immediate risk for contamination of the SWWS. The major storage facilities do not have a floor drain where a potential spillage can enter the SWWS. The only possibility for contamination of the SWWS by chemicals will be discharges through sinks and toilets or spillage through the few floor drains.

5 SLUG MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS

Based on the analyses in section 5, the following management and operation plan is established.

5.1 Discharge Practice and Non-routine Batch Discharges

The main risk of damaging the SWWS or the recipient comes from the different routine discharges and non-routine batch discharges.

5.1.1 Practice for recurring discharges from installation

As mentioned in paragraph 5.3, there are several recurring discharges from installation.

The requirements are as follows.

Hazardous Materials has to be handled in accordance with the Hazardous Material Management Plan.

Hazardous Waste has to be handled in accordance with the Hazardous Waste Management Plan (CDRL CEV-15B)

Other types of discharges are listed in FGS Chapter 4.3.1, 4.3.2 and 4.3.3.

5.1.2 Discharge practice for trucked and hauled waste

According to the FGS, C4.3.2.1.7: “The discharge of trucked and hauled waste into the DWTS, except at locations specified by the DWTS operator is prohibited”.

As there is no wastewater treatment plant on Thule AB, the only function responsible for the SWWS is GC Operations. As such, GC Operations has the right to specify discharge of trucked and hauled waste. To prevent damage on the environment beside wastewater all discharge of trucked and hauled waste have to be done after consultation with GC Environmental Engineering.

The FGS, Chapter 4.3.3 includes the general requirements for the discharged batch. GC Operations must retain records of the discharge for three years.

5.1.3 Discharge practice for trucked sanitary wastewater

As mentioned in paragraph 4.2, an amount of the collected wastewater is not transported by the SWWS but by truck to Bldg. 984, where it is discharged into the SWWS by the grit system. The same procedure is used for materials collected from septic tanks.

There is no limitation on the amount of trucked wastewater and no record has to be made, as long as the discharge is measured as a part of the ongoing registration of wastewater.

5.1.4 Intentionally non-routine batch discharge

Intentionally non-routine batch discharges, e.g. when water from a boiler is discharged due to maintenance, it is recorded IAW GC Utilities Facilities maintenance instructions.

5.1.5 Discharge of surface water to the SWWS

A special form of non-routine batch discharge is the use of the SWWS to discharge surface water. As previously stated, spill prevention is based on the segregation of the SWWS from the Storm Water Drainage System.

To eliminate the risk of spill, the general rules stated in 5.1.4 are expanded with the following requirements:

• All temporary discharge of surface water into the SWWS has to be by pump.

• The pumping process must be supervised.

• In case of a nearby spillage, the discharge must be stopped immediately.

5.2 Handling of Chemicals and Control of Toxic Organic Pollutants and Solvents Hazardous Material Management Plan and Hazardous Waste Management Plan (CDRL CEV- 15B) govern handling of hazardous substances.

5.2.1 Rooms with floor drain directly to the SWWS

In areas with a floor drain and storage of hazardous substances or POL, the rules outlined in the Spill Prevention and Response Plan have to be observed.

5.2.2 Rooms with floor drain indirectly to the SWWS

In areas, where water from floor drains is pumped to the SWWS:

• In case a spill occur during pump operation, the pump must be stopped immediately and spill response initiated.

5.3 Buildings, Containment Structures and Equipment

5.3.1 Planning of new building, containment structures and equipment When designing a new building, containment structures and equipment, it is essential to ensure no spill is led through the SWWS.

The measures are:

• To build structures that contains large storages of pollutants in a way with no direct access to the SWWS.

• To keep showers, toilets and other drains in parts of the building, where no pollutants are stored.

• To secure drains from areas where pollutants are stored by installing a pump that discharges the wastewater to the SWWS, that can be stopped in case of an accident or preferable only is operated when conditions has been checked.

• To keep pollutants in areas with floor drains in secondary containments.

To secure that a proper measure has been chosen, all projects have to be reviewed by GC Environmental Engineering.

5.3.2 Inspection and maintenance of the SWWS

Inspect and maintain the SWWS is the responsibility of GC Operations and part of the maintenance program at Thule AB.

The maintenance of the SWWS is important as the segregation between the SWWS and the Storm Water Drainage System is a major part of the safety measures against pollution of the SWWS with spilled materials.

5.3.3 Oil/water Separators

The discharge of petroleum oil, non-biodegradable cutting oil, and products of mineral oil origin is prohibited. In places where oil is removed from objects with water and soap, e.g. where cars are washed, a separator system has to be installed that withholds the oil.

In addition, non-emulsifying soap is used for vehicle washing to prevent oil from emulsifying in soap and being discharge out of the oil/water separator.

The Facility Manager requests maintenance if required outside normal routine. GC/CE Services is responsible for the maintenance of the oil/water separators.

5.3.4 Sand/Grease Traps

The discharge of solid or viscous pollutants that might obstruct the SWWS is prohibited.

The Facility Manager requests maintenance if required outside normal routine. GC/CE Services is responsible for the maintenance of the sand/grease separators.

5.3.5 Cross Connections

Cross connections between the SWWS and the drinking water system is a problem related to drinking water. The Backflow Prevention Program includes control and removal of cross connections in accordance with AFI 32-1066, and is not a part of this plan.

5.4 Prevention of Accidental Spill

As many times previously mentioned the backbone of spill prevention in relations to the SWWS is the segregation. A description of correct handling of hazardous materials is stated under 6.2, but there are other types of unwanted materials as listed in FGS Chapter 4.3.1, 4.3.2 and 4.3.3.

From the perspective of the SWWS, they have to be treated like hazardous substances.

More information on prevention of accidental spill is included in the Hazardous Waste Management Plan (CDRL CEV-15B) and the Spill Prevention and Response Plan (CDRL CEV- 15C).

5.5 Emergency Response

Emergency Response procedures are included in the Spill Prevention and Response Plan

(CDRL CEV-15C).

Non-routine discharge of wastewater is approved by Environmental Engineering.

5.6 Notification

In case of an unintended discharge, notification will be given to the Consolidated Communications Center (alarm center) who will notify key personnel IAW rosters.

5.7 Employee Training

GC personnel and contractors who handle hazardous substances or perform activities that could contribute to spill or batch discharges should be trained in appropriate Best Management Practices by the individual shop. Such training should emphasize pollution prevention, awareness of possible pollution sources and local measures to contain spillage in a way that makes it possible to contain the spillage, e.g. how to stop pumps that discharges water from floors into the SWWS.

GC Environmental Engineering training programs include:

• Hazardous Waste Handling, in accordance with “Hazardous Waste Management Plan

(CDRL CEV-15B)”

• Chemical Hazard Communication, in accordance with “Hazardous Material Plan”

• Spill Response Training, in accordance with “Spill Prevention & Response Plan (CDRL

CEV-15C)”

Scheduled training dates are communicated through GC’s Personnel Department, and sign up is available for everyone through GC’s intranet.

The individual participant will receive a certificate from GC Environmental Engineering. GC Environmental Engineering will keep a record of the training for 3 years.

5.8 Sludge Disposal

A wastewater treatment plant is not been installed at Thule AB, therefore, no wastewater treatment sludge is produced.

6 EFFLUENT MONITORING

The daily volume of direct effluent discharge from Bldg. 984 to North Star Bay is estimated to be approximately 800 m3 i.e. 211340 gallons. The estimate is based on daily catchments of potable water at Bldg. 1702.

IAW FGS, Table C4.T2, sampling of effluent is performed monthly at Bldg. 984. A 24-hour time proportional composite sample consisting of 24 aliquots is collected automatically with Bühler equipment. Alternately, a grab sample is collected manually.

IAW FGS, Paragraph C4.3.1.3 and C4.3.1.4 the monthly collected effluent samples are tested for conventional pollutants as pH, Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5). Records on date, time and exact place of sampling and testing, analyst, test results and procedures are retained for at least three years.

7 WATER POLLUTION COMPLAINTS

In general, USAF remains current with Greenland environmental activities and regulations IAW Statement of Work, Paragraph 18.11.

All official environmental correspondence sent to organizations outside of the 21 SW is approved by 821 ABG/CC and 21CES/CEV prior to release. In addition, copies of all official incoming environmental correspondence are forwarded to 821 ABG/CC and 21 CES/CEV within five days of receipt.

IAW FGS, Paragraph C4.3.1.5 and C4.3.2.2, water pollution complaints from individuals or host nation water pollution control authorities are investigated, involving the Environmental Executive Agent, as appropriate.

All correspondence and investigations are documented and records are retained for ten years.

So far, no complaints are received.
