1 Plan Administration In the event of a spill, initiate response actions described in the NSA Souda Bay Red Plan.
1.1 Introduction
This Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP) has been prepared by Jacobs, for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Europe Africa Central (EURAFCENT), under NAVFAC Atlantic's Multimedia Program, Contract No. N62470-19-D-4015, Task Order N6247020F5616. This SPRP meets the requirements for spill prevention and response planning as required by Volume 4, Section 7 of the 2020 Department of Defense (DoD) Manual 4715.05, Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD) (DoD, 2020) and Chapter 18 of the Final Governing Standards (FGS) for Greece (DoD, 2014). Remediation of affected areas is not within the scope of this document and instead will be conducted pursuant to DoD Instruction 4715.08 Remediation of Environmental Contamination Outside the United States (DoD, 2018).
This SPRP is applicable to all petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) and hazardous substances (HS), including pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-containing equipment, located within NSA Souda Bay. This SPRP also serves as the installation Hazardous Waste (HW) Contingency Plan, consistent with requirements set out in Chapter 6.3.6.1 of the Greece FGS (DoD, 2014). Copies of this plan will be submitted to the NSA Souda Bay police, fire department, Emergency Management, Port Operations, and first responders.
This SPRP is applicable to the following locations:
• NSA Souda Bay – Topside
• NSA Souda Bay – Bulk Storage Area
• NSA Souda Bay – Marathi Pier Complex
• NSA Souda Bay - Malaxa
The Public Works Department (PWD) Environmental Division is proactive with respect to training and ensures NSA Souda Bay meets requirements outlined in the Greece FGS (DoD, 2014). Appropriate NSA Souda Bay personnel have been identified and trained for spill prevention and response, and written procedures guide personnel performing inspections and monitoring regulated activities. Because NSA Souda Bay is dynamic by nature, it is important to continue the practices of training and monthly inspections for spill prevention as equipment degrades and personnel rotate through the facility.
The PWD Environmental Division is responsible for ensuring environmental compliance by conducting required environmental inspections, identifying training requirements, and recordkeeping for NSA Souda Bay. Tenant commands and contractors operating at NSA Souda Bay are responsible for oil storage and/or transfer operations at their respective facilities or complexes.
The SPRP is organized to function with the Red Plan (Jacobs, 2023b), which provides the user with the necessary information in the initial emergency response to a spill incident. In addition, NSA Souda Bay maintains a Storage Tank Management Plan (STMP) (Jacobs, 2023a) and Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP) (Navy, 2018b) to provide guidance on proper operation and maintenance of storage tank systems to prevent spills and disposal of HWs generated by POL-related activities.
NSA Souda Bay is presently in substantial conformance with Greece FGS requirements. However, several deficiencies exist and should be addressed immediately to return to full compliance. Refer to Table 2-2 for the list of regulatory deficiencies identified during the site visit and best engineering practice recommendations for resolution. The NSA Souda Bay PWD Environmental Division maintains current inspection reports and corrective action status.
1-2 230808182756_F1A40E1B
1.2 Regulatory Background
1.2.1 Environmental Final Governing Standards – Greece
The Greece FGS provides environmental compliance criteria at United States (U.S.) DoD installations in Greece.
The Greek FGS implements the DoD Instruction 4715.05, Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD) (DoD), 2020). This SPRP will address the following sections of the Greek FGS:
• Chapter 9 Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL), includes criteria to control and abate pollution resulting from the storage, transport, and distribution of petroleum products.
• Chapter 18 of the Greece FGS (DoD, 2014), requires all DoD installations in the country to prepare, maintain, and implement a SPRP that provides for the prevention, control, response, and reporting of POL and HS spills.
• The requirements in Chapter 19 of the Greece FGS, for underground storage tanks (USTs), apply to NSA Souda Bay. Refer to the NSA Souda Bay STMP (Jacobs, 2023a) for the requirements for the management of USTs.
This SPRP covers the prevention and response requirements for spills that occur from the transfer of fuel to and from the USTs.
1.2.2 Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document – Volume 4, Chapter 7 The OEBGD identifies baseline standards for installations to ensure the protection and management of historical and cultural resources and the conservation of natural resources and species at risk (DoD, 2020) using the following methods:
• Implements policy, assigns responsibilities, and provides standards to protect human health and the environment on enduring installations under DoD control outside the U.S..
• Considers and, where relevant, incorporates generally accepted federal environmental standards applicable to DoD installations, facilities, and actions in the U.S., and incorporates requirements of U.S. law that have extraterritorial application to the DoD.
• Is used by DoD lead environmental components (LECs) to establish and update FGSs.
• Establishes baseline environmental standards for installations in countries for which an FGS is not required or has not been developed.
Section 3.1 of the OEBGD (DoD, 2020) states the following:
Compliance with the standards of this volume is achieved by complying with the current FGSs, since the standards of this volume are reflected in the FGSs. In cases where updates or revisions to this volume have not yet been considered and incorporated into an FGS, installations must comply with the more protective standard, whether it is found in this volume or the FGS.
The current OEBGD was effective June 29, 2020, while the Greece FGS (DoD, 2014) was effective September 7, 2012, and revised in 2014. At the time of the development of this plan, the FGS had not been updated to incorporate the updates made to the 2020 OEBGD. Therefore, the requirement listed in Section 3.1 of the OEBGD has been followed in the development of this SPRP. Cross-reference matrixes of Chapter 18 of the Greece FGS and OEBGD Volume 4, Section 7 requirements are provided in Appendix A.
1.2.3 Environmental Readiness Program Manual (OPNAV M-5090.1E) The Environmental Readiness Program Manual - Operational Navy Instruction (OPNAV) M-5090.1E is the governing document for environmental compliance within the Department of the Navy (Navy). The manual itself does not outline compliance rules, but instead requires all Navy shore activities to meet the requirements of the FGS and OEBGD in addition to applicable host country rules and regulations.
1—PLAN ADMINISTRATION
230808182756_F1A40E1B 1-3
This SPRP will primarily address spill response and prevention guidance provided in the following relevant chapters of the OPNAV M-5090.1E (Navy, 2021a):
• Chapter 34 – Overseas Environmental Compliance Ashore
• Chapter 39 – Oil and Hazardous Substance Spill Preparedness and Response
1-4 230808182756_F1A40E1B
1.3 Plan Updates and Changes
In accordance with Greece FGS Chapter 18.3.1 (DoD, 2014) and OEBGD Volume 4, Section 7.2.a (DoD, 2020), the SPRP must be updated every 5 years or as follows:
• Within 6 months of any significant changes to operations
• When there have been two significant spills to waters of the host nation (HN) in any 12-month period
• When there has been a spill of 3,785 liters [1,000 gallons] or greater

2.2.2 Facility Description
NSA Souda Bay is a tenant activity on the Hellenic (Greek) Air Force Base by the village of Mouzouras, 17 kilometers (approximately 10 miles) east of the city of Chania. NSA Souda Bay occupies an area of approximately 110 acres on the north side of the Base, which is the home of the Hellenic Air Force's 115th Combat Wing. The airfield also serves as the civilian airport for the Chania region of Crete. The civilian terminal is located at the opposite end of the runway and is not within walking distance. The activity is located on the Akrotiri Peninsula, which forms the northern face of the Souda Bay harbor. A Hellenic Naval Base occupies a large portion of both the north and south coast of the Souda Bay harbor along with the port village of Souda.
At Marathi Pier, the fuel facility is owned by the Command Navy Installation Command (CNIC), and the fuel is owned by Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Vertex is under contract to the DLA as the DLA fuels contractor at the NSA Souda Bay Bulk Storage Area, which receives fuel from the Marathi Pier via an underground pipeline. In the event of a POL release, the Navy Port Operations personnel are in position to lead and support containment, recovery, and coordination of off-spec oil disposal of spills from U.S.-owned or -contracted vessels. There are storage tanks under the responsibility of NSA Souda Bay located within the Marathi Pier Complex. The complex is located on the northern face of Souda Bay harbor, approximately 2 miles south of the Hellenic Airforce Base.
Detailed site figures, including the stormwater drainage system, for each facility are provided in Appendix B.
The four locations included in this SPRP that have POL, HS, and HW storage are as follows:
• Topside
• Bulk Storage Area
2-2 230808182756_F1A40E1B
• Malaxa
• Marathi Pier Complex
The Bulk Storage Area is located on the eastern side of NSA Souda Bay (refer to Figure B-2 found in Appendix B).
JP-5 coming from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) POL facility at the Marathi Pier Complex enters NSA Souda Bay from the east and is pumped to one of two 500,000-gallon underground fuel storage tanks (CAC-116-01 and CAC-117-01). From there, the JP-5 can be pumped to 15 fueling hydrants along the flightline and a bulk storage fill stand, or to the four active day tanks (UST-081-01, UST-081-02, UST-081-03, and UST-081-04), and to fill the five mobile refuelers at Bulk Storage Area 81. The Bulk Storage Area is managed by the DLA fuels contractor.
Malaxa is a hilltop communications site south of NSA Souda Bay and across the bay (refer to Figures B-1 and B-3 found in Appendix B). The approximately 0.17 acre site is surrounding by a perimeter security fence and consists of towers, and support equipment. The site is unmanned but routinely checked.
The Marathi Pier Complex (refer to Figures B-1 and B-3 found in Appendix B) is a pier that the Navy jointly operates with the Hellenic Navy under a Memorandum of Agreement dated May 30, 1990 (Appendix D). The Navy uses the area of land between the POL and Ammunition Depots at Souda Bay primarily for ship support including repairs, offloading, and resupply. The Marathi Pier Complex remains under the command of the Hellenic Republic; however, the Navy retains command and control over U.S. personnel, equipment and operations while using the facility. The Navy Port Operations are the lead support for containment, recovery, and coordination of response actions from spills from U.S. vessels or U.S.-contracted vessels. An underground pipeline between the NATO POL facility at the Marathi Pier Complex and NSA Souda Bay is maintained by the Hellenic Republic. If a spill involving the pipeline were to occur, the Hellenic Navy would respond and potentially request aid of the Navy.
2.3 Applicable Storage Equipment Inventory
NSA Souda Bay stores a variety of POL and HS for use in fueling, ground vehicle operation, and facility maintenance. Fuels are stored in aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) and USTs. Off-spec fuels and nonfuel POL products such as used cooking oil, lubricating oils, and hydraulic fluids are stored in smaller, 55-gallon (208-liter) drums or 275-gallon (1,041-liter) portable plastic totes.
POL transfers are conducted by mobile refuelers. Smaller transfers such as generator tank fueling are completed by a Navy or DLA fuels contractor refueler trucks ranging in size from 1,200 gallons (4,542 liters) to 5,000 gallons (18,927 liters). Defueling operations utilize three mobile bowsers, two of which are 500 gallons (1,893 liters) and one is 600 gallons (2,271 liters).
Jet fuel is supplied via a 6-inch underground pipeline maintained by Greece that transfers fuel from where it is off-loaded at the Marathi Pier Complex to NSA Souda Bay Topside. Once the fuel arrives at NSA Souda Bay Topside, it is stored in one of two bunkered 500,000-gallon USTs (CAC-116-01 and CAC-117-01)
Detailed specifications for all assets classified as oil storage containers can be found in the NSA Souda Bay STMP (Jacobs, 2023a). The locations of all assets are shown in Appendix B.
2.3.1 Storage Tank Inventory
The storage tank inventory is provided in Appendix C and includes the following tables:
Table C-1 lists the storage, handling, and transfer areas of POLs located at NSA Souda Bay. It also includes information on typical spill scenarios from each asset.
Table C-2 lists oil-filled operational equipment at NSA Souda Bay.
Table C-3 lists potential mobile refueling locations at NSA Souda Bay and identifies the fuels at each.
Table C-4 lists the HW accumulation points and temporary waste storage areas (TWSAs) at NSA Souda Bay.
2—SPILL PREVENTION
230808182756_F1A40E1B 2-3
Table C-5 lists the drum storage areas (DSAs) (both POL and HS) at NSA Souda Bay. All DSAs are located inside buildings and not exposed to stormwater.
2.3.2 Areas of Significant Spill Risk
The OEBGD (DoD, 2020) defines a significant spill as the following:
“For hazardous wastes or hazardous substances identified as a result of inclusion in Table 6 of Appendix 5A of Volume 5, any quantity in excess of the reportable quantity listed in that table;
• For POL or liquid or semiliquid hazardous material, hazardous waste, or hazardous substances in excess of 416 liters [110 gallons];
• For other solid hazardous material in excess of 225 kilograms [500 pounds]; or
• For combinations of POL and liquid, semiliquid, and solid hazardous materials, hazardous waste, or hazardous substance in excess of 340 kilograms [750 pounds].
If a spill is contained inside an impervious berm, on a nonporous surface, or inside a building and is not volatilized and is cleaned up, the spill is considered a contained release and is not considered a significant spill.”
Areas with inadequate secondary containment measures, high fuel throughput, fuel transfer operations within 25 feet (8 meters) of a storm drain, fuel operations including the storage and transfer of aircraft fuel, and over the water pipeline fueling were considered high risk areas for a significant spill.
2.3.2.1 Top Side
USTs CAC-116-01 and CAC-117-01 (Bulk Storage Area)
Tanks CAC-116-01 and CAC-117-01 are 500,000-gallon (1,782,705-liter) bulk storage USTs within the Bulk Storage Area on the east end of the runway. Each tank is double- walled with an earthen cover. The tanks receive JP-5 from the Marathi Pier Complex via a 6-inch underground pipeline that can transfer up to 620 gallons per minute.
Each tank is equipped with pump auto shut off, high level alarm, and monitored double bottom. During transfers from Marathi Pier Complex, personnel are at each end of the pipeline with handheld radios and in constant communication. The pipeline is equipped with a pressure alarm.
The fuel passes through a fuel filter prior to entering USTs CAC-116-01 and CAC-117-01. Fuel from the bulk storage tanks transfers to 15 hydrant fuel pits, as well as a mobile refueler fuel stand. The fuels system is monitored by Navy Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) DLA fuels contractor. The DLA fuels contractor also maintains and operates the five NAVSUPNIC-owned mobile refuelers (TRK-245 through TRK-249) to refuel aircraft on the flightline.
Fuel transfers to the 15 hydrants along the flightline is pumped at 600 gallons per minute (gpm) under normal conditions and up to 1,200 gpm when fueling two aircraft (when a second pump is used).
Flow rate of transfers from the bulk storage tanks to the refuelers is estimated at 500 gpm. The transfer to the refuelers is completed within a covered structure with secondary containment that drains into an OWS.
Spills from USTs CAC-116-01 and CAC-117-01 and would be a result of fuel transfers both from the Marathi Pier Complex and to the pumps and hydrants. The surge tank valve can isolate the bulk storage tanks from the underground pipeline and remains closed unless active filling is occurring. An estimated 3-minute response time is estimated to shut down flow since flow is controlled by the Greek at the Marathi Pier Complex.
Spills within the CAC-116-01 and CAC-117-01 tanks would collect inside the double tank. Hatches on top of the tank system help keep stormwater out of the double tank containment.
Figure 2-1 presents the most likely spill flow direction for a spill at USTs CAC-116-01 and CAC-117-01.

Tanks AST-014-01 and EMR-014-01
The 396-gallon (1,499-liter) AST-014-01 provides diesel for emergency backup generator EMR-014-01, which has a 70-gallon (265 liter) belly tank for the Potable Water Pump House. Both the AST and the emergency generator are located within 25 feet (8 meters) of a storm drain to the west and north. AST-014-01 is a double-walled tank which provides fuel directly to EMR-014-01. The fuel line running from AST-014-01 to the emergency generator is double walled. The belly tank associated with EMR-014-01 is a single-walled tank but not in use; EMR-014-01 will remain in this inventory.
The most likely discharge scenario is a release of fuel from fuel transfers through piping associated with filling AST-014-01. A storm drain is located 9 feet (3 meters) to the west of AST-014-01. Response should focus on containment and prevention by diverting spill and securing the storm drain. During use, spill kits with storm drain blockers must be maintained at the site and storm drain blockers used during fueling operations.
Figure 2-2 presents the most likely spill flow direction for a spill at AST-014-01.

Tank AST-050-01 and EMR-093-01
AST-050-01 is a Convault ® concrete split tank with 1,000-gallon (3,785 liter) diesel tank and a 1,00-gallon (3,785 liter) JP-5 tank and is used for vehicle and ground support equipment fueling by the U.S. Air Force and Air Operations.
The most likely discharge scenario is a release of fuel from fuel transfers into the tank during vehicle fueling operation. A concrete lined stormwater ditch is located 23 feet (7 meters) to the east of AST-050-01. Response should focus on containment and prevention by diverting spill and securing the stormwater ditch. Spill kits with containment boom must be maintained at the site and absorbent boom used during fueling operations. Currently, if a spill reaches the ditch, it would flow to an underground stormwater pipe that discharges into the stormwater pond at the west end of the airfield. NSA Souda Bay plans to construct an earthen berm within the stormwater pond downstream of the discharge to contain any releases. Moving the AST away from the stormwater ditch would reduce the risks associated with tank filling and fuel transfers.
EMR-093-01 is a 95-gallon (360-liter) diesel belly tank associated with an emergency generator that provides emergency backup power for the fire department. The AST is located within 25 feet (8 meters) of a stormwater ditch to the south. The generator is located within a sufficiently sized secondary) containment. The most likely discharge scenario is a release of fuel from fuel transfers filling the belly tank associated with the generator. A concrete lined stormwater ditch is located 17 feet (5 meters) to the south.
Responses should focus on containment and prevention by diverting spill and securing the stormwater ditch.
When in use, spill kits with stormwater ditch blockers must be maintained at the site and stormwater ditch blockers used during fueling operations.
Figure 2-3 presents the most likely spill flow direction for a spill at AST-050-01 and EMR-093-01.

Tank AST-C65-01
The 2,000-gallon (7,570-liter), double-walled AST-C65-001 provides diesel fuel for two emergency generators (EMR-C65-01 and EMR-C65-02) at the facility.
The most likely discharge scenario is a release of fuel from fuel transfers through tank filling. A storm drain is located 29 feet (9 meters) to the east of AST-C65-01. Even though the tank is greater than 25 feet from the nearest storm drain, this area is considered high risk due to the capacity of the tank and volume of fuel transfers to the two emergency generators. Response should focus on containment and prevention by diverting spill and securing the storm drain. During use, spill kits with storm drain blockers must be maintained at the site and storm drain blockers used during fueling operations.

Tanks UST-078-01, UST-078-02, and UST-078-03
The Souda Bay Filling Station consists of three USTs (UST-078-01, UST-078-02, and UST-078-03) that supply fuel to dispenser pumps located directly to the north of the tanks. Tanks UST-078-01 and UST-078-02 provide Mogas (gasoline) while tank UST-078-03 provides diesel. Spills from this area would be a result of fuel transfers into vehicles by untrained personnel and during fuel transfer operations of the USTs. Fuel is delivered to the USTs via commercial fuel trucks operated by a HN contractor.
Fuel is transferred from the HN contractor truck to the USTs by gravity. In case of an emergency, the HN contractor who is standing by the truck’s outlet valve, will shut it off.
Fuel is transferred from USTs to vehicles using dispensers. The dispensers are equipped with a shear valve that will automatically stop the fuel flowing from the dispenser hoses in the event the valve is broken for any reason. A spill kit is permanently staged at the Filling Station between the dispensers and all fuel trucks are equipped with a spill kit.
A spill from the Filling Station would flow south along paved asphalt to a concrete lined stormwater trench with metal grating over the top and discharge to an oil/water separator under the parking lot on the northwestern side of Building 95. UST-078-02 (23 feet [7 meters]) and UST-078-03 (11 feet [4 meters]) are both within 25 feet of the concrete lined stormwater trench. Due to the proximity of the stormwater channel and no physical barriers to stop a flow, during loading and unloading operations of the USTs, rubber spill blockers should be put in place to contain any spills or overfills during transfer operations and divert from the concrete lined stormwater channel. At the time of the site visit, a recent spill at the fuel dispensers nearly entered the stormwater trench. First responders were able to block the fuel flow path before entering the trench and allowed for the spill fuel to be collected.
Figure 2-5 presents the most likely spill flow direction for a spill at the Souda Bay Filling Station.

Tank EMR-PTO-01
Generator EMR-PTO-01 has a 122-gallon (462-liter) diesel belly AST. The generator sits within a concrete diked containment area and is under cover. At the time of the site visit, the generator was 50 feet (16 meters) from the water line. However, the generator will be within 25 feet (8 meters) of the water line during tidal and storm conditions and the slope of the shore.
The most likely discharge scenario is a release of fuel from fuel transfers filling the tank. Response should focus on containment and prevention by diverting spill and damming the flow path. When used, spill kits with sorbents and damming materials must be maintained at the site. In the event discharge reaches the bay, booming strategies identified in Appendix F will be employed.
Figure 2-6 presents the most likely spill flow direction for a spill at EMR-PTO-01.

2.4 Inspections and Testing
NSA Souda Bay follows the inspection and testing requirements for POL ASTs, USTs, OFOE, and piping that are included in the NSA Souda Bay STMP.
All POL ASTs, aboveground piping, valves, and appurtenances are visually inspected for leaks on a routine basis (monthly and annually). All buried piping is monitored monthly if the piping system has a leak detection system or tightness tested annually for leaks. Transformers considered OFOE are inspected annually. The NSA Souda Bay STMP provides inspection checklists for POL storage tanks and DSAs. Containers located at TWSAs must be inspected weekly in accordance with the NSA Souda Bay HWMP (Navy, 2018b).
Inspection and testing records are maintained by the PWD Environmental Division, NAVSUP DLA fuels contractor, and Navy Exchange.
2.5 Facility Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures

2.5.2 Sized Secondary Containment
2.5.2.1 POL and Hazardous Substances Storage Containers
OEBGD, Volume 4, Section 5.4.c.(1).(a) requires all POL storage containers to be provided with a sized secondary means of containment capable of holding the entire contents of the largest single tank plus sufficient freeboard to allow for precipitation (DoD, 2020).
Based off the Mediterranean Cyclone Characteristics Related to Precipitation Occurrence in Crete, Greece, it is estimated that 55 millimeter (2.2 inches) of rain can fall over a 24-hour period (Technical University of Crete, 2015).
NSA Souda Bay uses double-walled ASTs and diked containments as methods of secondary containment for shop-fabricated tanks. Refer to Table C-1 and the NSA Souda Bay STMP (Jacobs, 2023a) for detailed secondary containment specifications for each POL storage container.
NSA Souda Bay has a Navy Supply Hazardous Materials facility (Building 59), also known as Consolidated Material Reutilization and Inventory Management Program (CHRIMP), that stores hazardous materials before being distributed to the customer. The Navy Supply Hazardous Materials facility has sized secondary containment units that provide containment sufficient to contain the contents of the single largest chemical containers stored within.
Directly beside the Navy Supply Hazardous Materials facility is the NSA Souda Bay Hazardous Waste Storage Area (HWSA) (Building 60) that stores HWs received from the Base tenants and Navy ships. The HWSA facility has a partially covered secondary containment that provides sufficient secondary storage (4,265 square feet steady state and maximum contingency area of 7,429 square feet) for in excess of the single largest storage container stored within.
Throughout NSA Souda Bay are temporary hazardous materials and HW storage structures or Hazardous Waste Accumulation Points (HWAP) including lockers, larger walk-in containers, and smaller containment, which are all designed to provide secondary containment.
