USAG Daegu SPRP/ISCP Update: May 2018

Section 8 - Installation Spill Contingency Plan

8.1 Historical Perspective The Installation Spill Contingency Plan (ISCP) is designed to be used in conjunction with the SPRP. The ISCP applies to all Installation organizational elements which handle, store, transport, use, or dispose of oil or hazardous substances. Copies of the ISCP should be maintained onsite at all hazardous material and hazardous waste generators, the fire station, the safety office, and the environmental office. Response procedures in this plan should be implemented when a spill or leak of oil or hazardous substance cannot be contained immediately in a safe manner. If there is uncertainty on how or when to implement the ISCP, call the Installation Fire Department (Camp Walker 764-5902, Camp Carroll 765- 8355, BSF 763-7476 or 763-7209).

8.1.1 Purpose. The purpose of the USAG Daegu ISCP is to identify responsibilities, resources, and procedures for emergency response to leaks, spills, or uncontrolled releases of oil or hazardous substances.

8.1.2 Authority. AR 200-1, Environmental Protection and Enhancement, mandates that Army installations develop and implement an ISCP to plan for emergencies and to develop procedures for dealing with oil discharge and release of hazardous substances. Chapter 18 of USFK Pam 200-1 also describes the requirements, definitions, and criteria for an ISCP (References 2 and 5).

8.2 Implementation and Review

8.2.1 Training. All personnel at activities that handle hazardous material should be familiar with the SPRP and understand procedures and safety requirements during a spill incident. The type, extent, and frequency of personnel training should be documented and the records maintained in one central location. Personnel working at HM storage sites or HWAPs must participate in periodic spill prevention and response training. They should be familiar with immediate response actions necessary when a spill is discovered and understand actions to be taken in response to fires, explosions, or releases of hazardous materials. 29 CFR 1910.120 (Reference 9) specifically requires that training be conducted at the following times:

Annually.

Within six months for personnel starting in a supervisory position; prior to starting work for personnel entering a non-supervisory position.

After any significant revisions to the training program or the ISCP.

After a spill response in which training deficiencies were noted.

8.2.2 IRT Training Team. The AR 200-1 requires a training plan to be established for the IRT per the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), 29 CFR 1910 and 1926 (References 9 and 10). The IRT training plan should include:

Familiarization with the ISCP.

Familiarization with potential spill locations.

Walk-through of high hazard areas.

Annual mock emergency response training exercises focused on the hazardous substances commonly used on the Installation.

8.2.3 Inspections. Hazardous Waste Management Inspections are described in the Installation Hazardous Waste Management Plan (HWMP). Leak or spill inspections should include:

Spill or leak detection measures.

Proper segregation of materials.

Safe packaging.

Labeling containers.

Deterioration of containers.

PPE.

Reporting requirements.

Recordkeeping.

8.2.3 Review. The ISCP is to be reviewed every five years from the date of final issue per AR 200-1. Amendments are required when:

The Installation changes design, operation, or maintenance in a way which increases the potential for spills, fires, explosions, or changes the necessary response to an emergency.

The list of emergency response personnel changes.

The inventory of emergency equipment changes.

The ISCP fails in an emergency.

8.3 Preplanning

8.3.1 Sites with Spill Potential. An inventory of potential spill sites with types and amounts of hazardous material and hazardous waste is described in Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 and presented in Tables 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, and 6-1.

8.3.2 Equipment and Cleanup Resources. Spill cleanup materials and PPE located at individual HM storage sites and HWAPs are listed under the individual site descriptions located in Sections 2 through 7 of the SPRP. Heavy equipment and machinery will be provided by DPW, Roads and Grounds Section. An inventory of cleanup materials to be used for installation wide emergency response is located at each respective fire station or environmental storage building and is listed in Tables 8-1 through 8-3.

8.4 Responsibilities

8.4.1 Installation On-Scene Coordinator (IOSC). The Chief, Fire Prevention Office, is designated as the IOSC for his/her respective USAG Daegu installation by USAG Daegu. The IOSC is the official that directs control and cleanup efforts at the scene of a spill or leak of POL or hazardous substance due to USFK activities on or near the Installation. The Installation Commander designates this individual.

8.4.1.1 The IOSC must assess the situation, recommend immediate action, and is responsible for the following:

Coordinates and directs Army control and cleanup efforts at the scene of any POL or hazardous substance spill due to USFK activities on or outside of Army installations.

Has the authority of the Commander with respect to mobilizing personnel and equipment for control, containment, and removal of spills.

Makes the determination of whether a spill is reportable and accomplishes the appropriate notifications.

Conducts training sessions for the IRT annually or more often as circumstances warrant.

Attends hazardous substance training courses and keeps abreast of current policies and regulations.

8.4.1.2 In the event of a POL or hazardous substance spill, the IOSC will:

Identify the constituent and quantity of spill and assess the consequences.

Activate the IRT, giving appropriate instructions for spill control and supervising subsequent cleanup efforts.

Keep the DPW and USFK/EUSA Environmental Program Office continuously informed of the situation.

8.4.2 Installation Response Team (IRT). The IRT is a team of technical specialists and personnel performing emergency functions as defined and directed by the IOSC. Members of the IRT may be exposed to hazardous substances environments and must be trained for emergency response. Training records should be kept in the individuals personnel file. A roster of the current IRT members with telephone numbers is listed in Appendix C. The IRT consists of the personnel listed below Table 8-4.

8.4.2.1 IOSC or Alternate IOSC - Coordinates and directs cleanup efforts.

8.4.2.2 Fire Department - Firefighters are the best qualified for entry into unknown and emergency hazardous substance spill situations due to their specialized hazardous materials and rapid response training. Firefighters should be the initial responders to hazardous spills.

The senior fire official will be designated the IOSC at all unknown or high-risk spill incidents.

The senior fire official will take charge and direct the firefighters to secure the spill, and will coordinate with the IRT who will advise or assist as needed.

8.4.2.3 DPW, Buildings and Grounds Division - Operate mechanical spill response equipment and transfer contaminated residues.

8.4.2.3 Safety Officer - Ensures the applicable Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available onsite and all applicable precautions are complied with.

8.4.2.5 Industrial Hygienist or Preventive Medicine Officer - Monitors the ambient air and quantifies airborne levels of hazardous substances and health hazards to make recommendations about the appropriate level of employee personal protection needed at a spill site. Air monitoring, as a first step, shall be conducted to identify situations, such as the presence of flammable gases or vapors and radioactive materials. Post cleanup air sampling will be conducted to ensure hazardous substances and health hazards are not still present.

8.4.2.6 Security - Installation Military Police will be responsible for law enforcement and for implementing the IOSC’s evacuation instructions. Security personnel will assume responsibility for control of non-essential personnel, dispersal of onlookers, and non-emergency traffic control. Security will also be responsible for protection of government property and for admitting and expediting access of the cleanup team. They will immediately coordinate with the IOSC and the Public Affairs Officer regarding the admittance of news media, photographers, regulatory agency representatives, and other Army personnel and civilians who require access to the spill site. General security measures on post include fencing surrounding the entire Installation with Military Police controlling access to the post at the gates. Specific security measures at potential spill sites are described in Sections 2 through 7. Standard measures require buildings and storage areas to be locked during non-duty hours.

8.4.2.7 Public Affairs Officer (PAO) - After a spill has occurred, the PAO will coordinate with the IOSC to prepare an initial news release. In particular, any public statement will be coordinated with the Judge Advocate General to avert misinformation concerning the possible liability of the U.S. Government due to the spill. Upon direction from the Commander and IOSC, the PAO will prepare an immediate news release if circumstances dictate that the spill will endanger the health and safety of the public or if evacuation is necessary. Any public statement regarding a spill will only be made by the PAO following approval by the IOSC and the Installation Commander.

8.4.2.8 Environmental Coordinator. Assists the IOSC. Prepares written spill reports and submits through command channels. Assists PAO on public notification as needed.

8.5 Health and Environmental Assessments The IRT under the direction of the IOSC will perform problem identification and health and environmental effects assessments. The IOSC will call on IRT members as appropriate for individual incidents. For example, the Fire Chief will assess explosion and fire potential; environmental problems will be addressed by the Chief, Environmental Division, DPW; and health assessments will be addressed by the Preventive Medicine Officer.

8.6 Emergency Response Actions The Installation Fire Department should be contacted immediately when POL or hazardous substances are spilled and have the potential of entering surface water or ground water via storm drains, sewer manholes, streams, or any surface water body. The Fire Department will provide initial response, identify the spill, and notify the IOSC and IRT as appropriate. Small spills in motor pools, maintenance shops, and hazardous material storage areas which are easily contained will be reported to the shop foreman or NCOIC for determination of whether emergency assistance is required.

The first consideration in a spill situation is safety of personnel in the vicinity of the release.

Emergency medical treatment should be administered as soon as possible to any persons injured by the release. If possible, persons discovering the release should take corrective action to stop the leak or spill if they are familiar with the material and required safety precautions. Personnel should never attempt immediate corrective action if they are not capable of doing so in accordance with the training requirements under OSHA standards, 29

CFR 1910.120.

8.6.1 Immediate Response. Any employee observing a spill of oil or any hazardous substance in any quantity will immediately notify his supervisor. Hazardous substances include strong acids, strong bases (caustics), organic solvents, strong oxidizers, reactive materials, and other suspected or known toxic substances. Spills of unknown chemical compounds shall be considered extremely hazardous until otherwise determined by the IOSC.

8.6.1.1 First Responder Actions. In the event of a spill, the first responder should follow the actions listed below:

Protect self and others from harm.

Evacuate if necessary.

Restrict access to the area.

The reportable quantity for POL is 110 gal or more. Additional information on reporting is described in Section 2.2.1.5.

8.7 General Containment, Cleanup, and Disposal

8.7.1 Containment. Spilled POL products or hazardous substances will be diked with earth, sawdust, dry-sweep, or other absorbents as appropriate to prevent further spreading. Streams or ditches should be diked downstream from the release. Oil floating on standing water may be contained with absorbent booms. Drains and man-holes should be covered and surrounded by a temporary berm. Protection of the environment, especially water supplies and surface water, is the second most important consideration following safety.

8.7.2 Cleanup. The technique for cleanup response depends on the type of substance and the specific situation. General procedures should be tailored to particular release incidents.

Floating materials may be skimmed off with mechanical devices or collected with absorbents.

Sinking materials may be pumped or dredged from the bottom of the water source. Spilled materials on land may be diked with absorbents or pumped to a diked, lined temporary storage area. Absorbents may also be used to soak up the entire spill. Contaminated soil may need to be removed.

8.7.3 Disposition of Contaminated Materials.

Contaminated fuel will be turned over to the Fire Prevention and Protection Division for use in conjunction with training or disposal by contract.

Contaminated soil will be placed in sealable metal drums and held until the Environmental Coordinator arranges for disposal by contract.

Contaminated absorbents will be placed in sealable metal drums and disposed of by contract arranged by the Environmental Coordinator.

8.8 Response Actions for Specific Hazardous Materials

8.8.1 Acid Spills
