1.2 Management Approval

This Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan has the full approval of management at Naval Support Facility Beaufort (NSF Beaufort), at a level of authority to commit the necessary resources to fully implement the Plan. Management will use personnel, equipment, and materials as necessary to prevent and control spills, and to implement SPCC requirements as set forth in this Plan.

The implementation of and compliance with this SPCC plan are subject to the provisions of the Anti- Deficiency Act, as amended in 31 USC section 1341 et seq, and requisite regulations which control funding of operations and activities. Nothing in this plan is intended to make or authorize an expenditure or obligation, exceeding an amount or purpose available in a US Government appropriation or fund, for an expenditure or obligation in violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act. Further, this plan is not intended to involve the US Government in a contract or obligation for payment or any other expense, before an appropriation is adopted, unless otherwise authorized by law.

By virtue of my office, I have the authority to approve this document on behalf of the facility, and to commit resources to implement the corrective actions and improvements needed to comply with applicable federal and state laws.

1.2.1 Executive Summary

Revised regulations for 40 CFR 112 were published in the Federal Register on 17 July 2002. Rules set forth by the latest amendments were published in November 2009; becoming effective 14 January 2010. The Environmental Protection Agency established these revised rules for the preparation of Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan and are incorporated into this plan.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southeast Region provided oversight and technical assistance with the preparation of this document through contract NAVFAC Southeast IDIQ Contract N69450- 14-D-0029. AMEC personnel performed inspections at the activity in December of 2014, and collected available information and data for inclusion in the SPCC Plan. This included the visual inspection of all aboveground and underground storage tanks, associated piping, and oil-filled equipment i.e., transformers.

In addition to container inspections, oil-water separators (OWS), fuel transfer operations and inspection procedures were evaluated for effectiveness and industry best management practices.

NSF Beaufort has a program for monthly visual inspections of storage containers; and if needed deficiencies are noted and programmed for correction. The facility also has an effective program for improving regulated oil containers through tank replacements and equipment upgrades to meet industry standards. The Environmental Manger ensures the facility meets federal, state, and local regulations. Facility personnel have been identified and trained for spill prevention and response, and written procedures guide personnel performing inspections and monitoring tank operations. NSF Beaufort provides manpower by the Public Works Department and Environmental Division, Operations and other organizations.

Because the activity 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.

NSF Beaufort is presently in substantial conformance with the rule; however, there are existing conditions that should be addressed in order to ensure compliance with 40 CFR 112.

To ensure that NSF Beaufort continues to remain in compliance with 40 CFR 112; tank deficiencies, compliance recommendations, and Best Management Practices are maintained in Appendix H of this plan.

2.2.1 High-Risk Oil Storage Facilities

NSF Beaufort high-risk oil storage sites were established based upon review of both the volume of oil stored at each location and the frequency of transfer operations completed at that facility. The sites include:

• Steam Plant – Building 13

• Generator House – Building 1A

• Navy Exchange (NEX) Gasoline Station – Building 20

2.2.1.1 Steam Plant – Building 13

The Steam Plant is considered a high-risk facility due to the quantity, size of transfers, as well as the size and quantity of containers. Twin 25,000-gallon ASTs containing #2 fuel oil are located on the northeast side of Building 13. This facility contains a contained loading/unloading area.

Secondary containment for the tanks at Building 13 is as follows:

• Shop fabricated tanks 43 and 44 are single walled contained inside an appropriate sized concrete containment berm that encompasses part of the piping, as well. The containers receive #2 fuel oil for use within the adjacent Steam Plant. The containment area is controlled by a locked valve that is connected to an OWS and sanitary sewer.

The AST tanks (43 and 44) utilize above ground steel piping to transfer fuel from the tank area to Building 13 via two 3” transfer pipelines. Approximately ten (10) feet of pipe is not protected by containment. This uncontained section of pipe contains several fittings. The remainder of the pipeline is within the containment.

Both tanks are equipped with high level alarms. The high level alarms are tested monthly as part of the Bulk Storage Tank Routine In-Service Inspection Checklist. The checklist is located in Appendix G Facility Specific Standard Inspection Checklists.

The tanks receive fuel from commercial 8,000-gallon tank trucks. After passing a safety inspection at a security-controlled entrance of the Main Gate, the tank trucks are directed to the Steam Plant. The tank trucks are directed to the concrete unloading area where the fuel is off-loaded using flexible hoses into the tanks. The unloading area is contained in a concrete containment parking area that is sloped toward a center drain. The basin has a capacity of approximately 16,400 gallons and is secured by an isolation valve that prevents discharge. The basin is connected by a pipe to an OWS which is connected to the sanitary sewer.

For the location of the above-mentioned containers and facilities, see Figure 2-2 and Appendix B. Detailed information for the containers in this area is located in Table 2-2 and Appendix A.

The shop fabricated tanks (14-4, 14-5, and 14-6) are inspected by the DLA-E contractor and are repaired by Public Works. See Section 6.3.2 Shop Fabricated Tanks for additional information.

All shop fabricated tanks are subject to inspection provisions outlined in Table 6-1 Inspection Schedule.

The facility has multiple spill kits for handling a wide variety of discharges. The site has spill kits rated at 50 gallons or less of cleanup capability. Larger spills would require the NSF Beaufort response team to respond.

2.2.1.2 Generator House – Building 1A

The Generator House Area is considered a high risk facility due to the size and quantity of containers located in this area. The Generator House is located on the east side of Saunders Road adjacent to the hospital (Building 1) and houses three (3) emergency generators for the hospital, all powered with diesel fuel; this area is completed fenced. This facility provides backup electric power to the hospital. Located at this site is a 25,000-gallon double-wall steel horizontal AST for diesel (1A-D). This site also houses two 400-gallon double-wall steel day tanks (DT1 and DT2), a 400-gal double-wall steel tank (1A-F), and a 250-gal steel AST (1A-E) within its own fenced enclosure. The entire site is normally not manned. See Figure 2-3 and Appendix B for diagrams of this area.

The tanks receive fuel from commercial 8,000-gallon tank trucks. After passing a safety inspection at a security-controlled entrance of the Main Gate, the tank trucks are directed to the Generator House. The tank trucks are parked along Saunders Road where the fuel is off-loaded using flexible hoses into Tank 1A-D.

Smaller 2,000-gallon trucks are used to refill Tank 1A-E. The remaining 400-gallon tanks are filled via underground piping from the main larger 25,000-gallon tank. These shop fabricated tanks are subject to inspection provisions outlined in Table 6-1, Inspection Schedule. In addition to the inspection provisions, this container is maintained by DLA-E. Additional information about the container is provided in Appendix A.

Additional containment measures are provided by spill kits located in the delivery vehicles (rated at 9-20 gallons). On-site spill kits are located at Building 15. The on-site spill kits are rated at 50 gallons.

2.2.1.3 NEX Gasoline Station – Building 20

The NEX Gasoline Station operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and is located on the south side of Willis Road, approximately 600 feet from the intersection of Willis Road and Pinckney Blvd. This facility is considered high risk due to the large number of vehicle fuel (unleaded and premium unleaded) transfers at the dispensers by untrained personnel and multiple drops from trained personnel using mobile refuelers at USTs 010 and 011. See Figure 2-4 and Appendix B for diagrams of this area. Detailed information for the containers is found in Table 2-2 and Appendix A

The containers at Facility 20 are double-walled fiberglass underground storage tanks.

The automotive dispensers use automatic shutoff nozzles and are monitored by NEX personnel from 0700- 1700 to facilitate the cleanup of any spill that occurs. The dispensers remain open after hours for credit card sales only. This does pose an additional risk of spills occurring without trained personnel present to conduct cleanup operations.

Piping at the facility consists of underground double walled piping. The piping is completely buried from the USTs to the dispenser sump. The dispensers are constructed with compliant breakaway couplers and fire-rated shutoff valves.

The fuel for USTs 10 and 11 is transferred from commercial tank trucks to the tank fill ports via hoses. The transfer is conducted by an off-site contracted tank truck and is conducted by the driver of the vehicle. The operation is monitored by NEX personnel utilizing in-place SOPs that address usage of the container, spill response, security, and inventory control. A copy of the SOP is found in Appendix G. Off-load procedures should follow the procedures outlined in Section 9 Procedures for Fuel Transfer Areas.

The USTs are maintained by the Navy Exchange via off-site contractors on an as-needed basis. Active containment measures are provided by spill kits located in the delivery vehicles (rated at 9-20 gallons) and at the dispenser area which is composed of absorbent material.

2.2.2 Drum Storage Areas

NSF Beaufort has two drum storage areas (Building 15 (Motor Pool) and Building 13 (Steam Plant). Both are located within buildings away from doorways/pathways to environment or provided with adequate secondary containment. The location and container contents for the DSAs are listed in Table 2-2. The diagram located in Appendix B include the location of both sites; both Table 2-2 and Appendix B categorize the drum storage areas with the prefix of DSA.

Figure 2-5 Drum Storage Area– Building 15

2.2.3 Ancillary Aboveground Storage Containers

2.2.3.1 Field Constructed Tanks (API 650)

No field constructed tanks exist at NSF Beaufort.

2.2.3.2 Shop Fabricated Containers

NSF Beaufort has numerous shop-fabricated containers as listed in Table 2-2, Appendix A, and as located on the base diagrams located in Appendix B. These containers support a wide range of purposes including ancillary generator supply, fuel for boilers, and storing used petroleum products.

The shop fabricated ASTs are typically built to UL 142 or UL 2085 Standards. In cases where the standard of a container cannot be determined, an engineering analysis should be performed to determine compatibility for use as fuel container.

The shop fabricated containers are inspected monthly and manned during transfers from and to mobile refuelers. Shop fabricated containers used for generator support should be inspected during the operation or testing to minimize leaks under pressure.

The shop fabricated containers use several types of fuel level sensing equipment which are detailed in Section 6.4.2 Shop-Fabricated Ancillary Containers.

The shop-fabricated containers are filled by DLA-E contractors and the Public Works Department. The containers holding used oil are emptied by off-site contractors. Personnel transferring regulated oil to or

2-11 August 2015 from a shop-fabricated container are required to follow contractor established SOPs and, as a minimum, use procedures in Section 9.2 Procedures for Containers Other Than Loading and Unloading Areas.

Maintenance is provided by the Public Works Department.

2.2.4 Used Cooking Oil Containers

NSF Beaufort has no used cooking oil containers.

2.2.5 Oil-Filled Operational Equipment

2.2.5.1 Hydraulic Oil Storage Equipment Containers

NSF Beaufort utilizes two hydraulic containers for elevator operations. Both are located within Building 1.

These containers are considered OFOE. The elevators are distinguished with the prefix of ELEV and are as follows: ELEV05-P1 and ELEV06-P1. The elevator hydraulic containers are listed in Table 2-2. Data Sheets for the containers are located in Appendix A. The locations of the elevators are shown in Appendix B.

The elevator hydraulic containers are inspected by the Public Works Department on a monthly basis.

The hydraulic containers are filled by opening the top of the container and using visual methods to determine the level of fluid in the container.

Hydraulic containers that are used in the role of elevator OFOE, are filled by portable drums or cans by off-site contractors. Hydraulic fluid would be transferred by the drum attached to a dolly car with a hand pump or by small unregulated containers, depending on the amount to be transferred.

Secondary containment for all the hydraulic lifts (elevators) is provided by concrete floors which are located in the Basement of the Building 1.

2.2.5.2 Electrical Transformers

NSF Beaufort utilizes 17 pad-mounted oil-filled transformers that contain greater than 55 gallons of non-polychlorinated biphenyl (non-PCB) mineral oil. The transformers are regulated by the SPCC Rule. A list of these transformers are presented in Table 2-2 and their locations identified in Appendix B with a triangular symbol.

Transfer Operations for Electrical Transformers OFOE are not conducted on the grounds of NSF Beaufort. Any transfer of mineral oil to and from base oil-filled transformers is conducted offsite by the contractor.

A maintenance and inspection program has been developed for all transformers located on NSF Beaufort by the off-site contractor, South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G), and the Public Works Department. The Public Works Department manages transformers on NSF Beaufort. Inspections of transformers are performed regularly and any leaks or spills documented with unsatisfactory conditions are promptly corrected by the off-site contractor.

2.2.6 Facility Piping

Aboveground and underground facility piping associated with the significant fuel systems is shown in the facility diagrams in Appendix B. Oil contained within this piping at NSF Beaufort is petroleum based and includes:

• #2 Fuel Oil

• Unleaded gasoline

• Diesel (vehicular and generator)

2-12 August 2015

2.2.7 Oil Water Separators (OWS)

NSF Beaufort utilizes one (1) OWS at Building 13 for draining of the containment dike (Tanks 43 and 44) and off-loading area. The physical condition and effluent of the OWS is inspected regularly by Public Works personnel and the oil is removed as necessary.

OWS are not required by 40 CFR 112 to be listed in the SPCC plan, but they are included in this plan for Navy inventory and management purposes. OWS that are used exclusively for waste water treatment, are exempt from SPCC regulations. However, if any OWS or other type of collection basin can be used for spill control purposes, then the secondary containment capacity should be listed.
