1.0 OVERVIEW

Brinkerhoff Environmental Services, Inc. (Brinkerhoff) prepared this Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan for the subject site identified as the Ohmsett Research, Testing and Training Facility (hereinafter referred to as Ohmsett), operated by the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. Ohmsett is located within Naval Weapons Station Earle (hereinafter referred to as NWS Earle) Waterfront, Route 36, in Leonardo, Monmouth County, New Jersey. The SPCC Plan has been prepared in accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 112 (Oil Pollution Prevention), July 17, 2002 through November 5, 2009 revisions.

The subject site is situated to the south of Sandy Hook Bay, which flows into the Lower Bay to the north. The Lower Bay flows through False Hook Channel before discharging into the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The location of the site is shown on the United States Geological Survey Site Location Map provided as Figure 1. A road map indicating the location of the subject site is provided as Figure 2. The subject site supports a permanent test oil storage capacity of approximately 78,850-gallons with additional flexible storage in Building R-24, and R-41. Ohmsett is situated on a navigable waterway and is, therefore, subject to the spill prevention and countermeasures as required in 40 CFR 112.1.

The purpose of this SPCC Plan is to document the systems and practices in place at the facility to prevent, control and contain oil spills from reaching navigable waters and adjoining shorelines.

Additionally, the SPCC Plan establishes inspection, record keeping, training, notification, and reporting requirements.

A copy of the SPCC Plan is maintained at the subject site in accordance with (40 CFR Part 112.3).

The USEPA does not require a copy of the SPCC Plan; however, the SPCC Plan is available to the USEPA for on-site review and inspection during normal working hours. The USEPA SPCC Field Inspection and Plan Review Checklist is included as Appendix I.

Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement

1.1 DISCHARGE REPORTING – 40 CFR 110

In accordance with 40 CFR 110, Discharge of Oil Regulation, any discharge of oil in “harmful quantity” to navigable waters, adjoining shorelines or the contiguous zone must be reported to the following agency:

• National Response Center (NRC) Notification is made immediately upon discovery. The NRC has a dedicated hotline for discharge notification. The hotline number is 1-800-424-8802

The term “harmful quantity” is the quantity which

• violates state water quality standards;

• causes a sheen on the water’s surface; or

• leaves a sludge or emulsion beneath the surface.

For the purpose of this SPCC Plan, a leak or spill of any quantity of oil into its containment structure or other impermeable surface is not a discharge, provided that the spill is fully contained and can be completely cleaned up before it migrates to the environment.

1.2 USEPA 60-DAY RELEASE REPORT – 40 CFR 112.4

Pursuant to 40 CFR 112.(4), if oil is discharged to waters or adjacent shorelines in a quantity

(1) greater than 1,000 gallons in a single discharge; or

(2) greater than 42 gallons in two (2) discharges occurring within a 12-month period, Ohmsett will submit a written report to the USEPA Regional Administrator within 60 days. The USEPA may require Ohmsett to amend this Plan as a result of submitting the 60-day written report.

This 60-Day Release Report must contain the following information:

1. Name of facility;

2. Name of the owner or operator;

3. Location of the facility;

4. Maximum storage or handing capacity of the facility;

5. Corrective actions and/or countermeasures taken, including a description of general equipment repaired or replaced;

6. An adequate description of the facility, including maps, flow diagrams, and topographical maps, as deemed necessary;

7. The cause of the discharge, including a failure analysis of the system or subsystem;

8. Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of recurrence; and

4.0 SPILL CONTAINMENT – 40 CFR 112.7

The USEPA SPCC regulations require that facilities with over 1,320 gallons of total aboveground storage capacity have specific pollution prevention devices placed on the ASTs and loading/unloading areas. The subject site contains the following storage: four (4) 10,000-gallon vertical test oil ASTs; two (2) 10,000-gallon horizontal test oil ASTs; one (1) 2,000-gallon mixing tank; two (2) 5,000-gallon concrete equalization pits; one (1) 550-gallon diesel AST; one

(1) 1,500-gallon test oil storage; two (2) 2,400-gallon recovered test oil tanks. In addition to the above is a 500-gallon centrifuge process hopper. The locations of the tank storage are shown on the Site Plan presented as Figure 3 as required per 40 CFR 112.7(a)(3).

4.1 SITE CONFORMANCE – 40 CFR 112.7(a)(1)

Ohmsett is situated south of Sandy Hook Bay, which flows into the Lower Bay to the north. The Lower Bay flows through False Hook Channel before discharging into the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The subject site contains 11 ASTs with a maximum storage capacity of 74,550 gallons of product. Since Ohmsett is situated on a navigable waterway and has oil storage in excess of the minimum limit of 1,320 gallons, the Site is subject to the provisions of 40 CFR 112. The subject property implements the requirements set forth in the rule and specifically in 40 CFR 112.7.

Ohmsett has not had oil spills into navigable waters adjacent to the facility boundaries. The systems at Ohmsett are nontransportation and include storage tanks, pipelines and flexible hoses, oil refurbishment systems, and truck-loading capabilities. There are no underground storage tanks (USTs) at Ohmsett.

4.2 REQUIREMENT COMPLIANCE – 40 CFR 112.7(a)(2)

Ohmsett does not deviate from the requirements in Paragraph (g), (h)(2), or (3). Accordingly, alternate methods for conformance are not incorporated into this SPCC Plan.

4.3 PHYSICAL SITE LAYOUT – 40 CFR 112.7(a)(3)

The Ohmsett Facility is located within the NWS Earle facility. Entrance to the facility is at 801 Route 36, via the NWS Earle Security Gate. Refer to Figure 3. The facility is bordered to the north, east and south by freshwater wetlands, with Compton Creek located to the east and the Sandy Hook Bay to the north.

The systems at Ohmsett are nontransportation-oriented and include storage tanks, totes, drums, pails, heat exchangers, pipelines and flexible hoses, oil refurbishment systems, and truck loading capabilities. Routine handling of materials at the property requires detailed knowledge of the facility and the potential effects of test oil spills.

Discharge prevention measures established at Ohmsett as part of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for routine handling of products to prevent test oil spills are as follows:

1. Transfers of test oils/fuel are performed by trained Ohmsett personnel.

2. Filling operations are attended by Ohmsett personnel.

3. During truck loading/unloading operations, a direct line of sight between the Ohmsett personal and truck driver is maintained.

4. Conduct regular inspections for signs for corrosion, breaks or cracks in tanks, hoses, or product piping, discharged product, or other evidence of existing or potential spills.

5. Totes, drums, and pails are stored in areas clear of debris on shelving or pallets and arranged for ease of inspection.

6. Spills or leaks are promptly cleaned up. The facility ahs an adequate supply of absorbent materials on-hand to contain and cleanup small spills or leaks.

4.3.3 DISCHARGE OR DRAINAGE CONTROLS – 40 CFR 112.7(a)(3)(iii)

Discharge or drainage controls includes secondary containment around containers and other structures and procedures for the control of the discharge and is implemented at Ohmsett. The following section presents the discharge and drainage controls at the subject facility.

Storm Water Drainage Valves The secondary containment of the Tank Farm, Tank Farm transfer pad and material storage north of Building R-24 have manual valves that are normally closed and locked. If the water level impedes operations, then following a visual inspection for a sheen on the water’s surface, the drain valve is unlocked and manually opened to remove accumulated rainwater. In the event a sheen is observed, it is manually removed before draining.

SPCC Plan Page 18 March 8, 2021

Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement The Ohmsett Facility, Leonardo New Jersey

Storm Water Drainage Sump Pumps Lake Zelman has a sump pump for handling accumulated storm water. Storm water is pumped through an oil/water coalescer/separator to the Middletown Sewerage Authority under NJPDES General Stormwater Permit No. NJ0005762.

The sump pump in the Tank Farm is also automatically actuated by a level control. Storm water is pumped to the Test Basin where it is contained and treated with the main body of water. Both sump pumps may be manually overridden.

Building R-41 Floor Drain and Pump The flooring in Building R-41 is pitched towards the trench and floor drains which are connected to below grade piping which exits at the northeastern corner of the structure toward a pump prior to connecting with the Test Basin. The subgrade piping is single-walled. If product is detected in the drain, a switch release is triggered which activates the pump.

4.3.4 DISCHARGE COUNTERMEASURES – 40 CFR 112.7(a)(3)(iv)

Potential releases of oil within the facility can be controlled by on-site trained personnel.

Operating personnel training coupled with professional knowledge of oil spill response equipment and methods will ensure that response procedures are implemented in the event of the spill.

4.3.4.1 MECHANICAL CONTAINMENT RECOVERY (MCR)

Mechanical Containment Recovery (MCR) is the primary line of defense against product spills and is the most effective means of containment at the site. MCR involves the placement of adsorbent booms at the point of discharge to the waterway to contain the spill and keep the spill from migrating. An oil skimmer, pump and recovery hose are located onsite in an easily assessable location.

Spill response equipment is located in the Emergency Response Storage Sheds and is kept in readily-accessible and secure locations. Each Emergency Response Storage Shed contains the following or its equivalent:

• Two (2) sorbent booms;

• 11 - bags of Sorbent C;

• One (1) - Long handle shovel;

• Two (2) - pairs of pull over boots;

• 50-feet of 3/8-inch propylene rope; and

• Two (2) - pairs of rubber gloves.

The location of the Emergency Response Storage Shed is such that the equipment can be quickly retrieved should a spill occur. The spill response equipment, including fire extinguishers, are checked regularly to assure proper working order and that an adequate supply of equipment is maintained. Refer to Figure 3 for locations of Emergency Response Storage Sheds at Ohmsett.

SPCC Plan Page 19 March 8, 2021

Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement The Ohmsett Facility, Leonardo New Jersey

4.3.5 DISCHARGE RESPONSE PROCEDURES

In the event of an oil spill not involving a fire or potential fire, these response actions will be taken by trained personnel to stop or contain the discharge:

1. Assess the extent of the leak, spill or discharge. Do not endanger personnel health or safety.

2. Stop all transfer operations.

3. Stop pump(s).

4. Check and close valves, including secondary containment vales.

5. Obtain help per contact information outlined in Section 3.3.7.

6. Go to the nearest Emergency Response Storage Shed for protective gear and sorbent materials.

7. Apply appropriate sorbent materials.

8. Recover free product into open top drums.

9. Empty leaking containers.

10. Initiate notification procedures as outlined in Section 1.1 and 1.2 and the Emergency

Contact List.

If a spill is likely to reach surface drainage features, sorbent booms must be deployed as follows:

• On the ground in the path of the spreading oil.

• In the drainage canal likely to receive the oil and downstream from the expected point of entry.

If the oil is spilled on the west side of the Test Basin, and is spreading toward the southwest drainage ditch, close the catch basin gate. Deploy the oil skimmer, recovery pump and transfer hose just upstream of the sorbent boom deployed in the drainage canal likely to receive the oil and just downstream of the point of entry.

Using a wheel loader or Bobcat, excavate contaminated soil, gravel and debris. Spill debris is to be piled on a polyethylene plastic liner within the spill zone and covered with a secured polyethylene plastic liner and bermed to avoid run-off. Sorbent materials are to be accumulated in 55-gallons drums and stored in the same area. Arrange for off-site disposal of spill debris and repair/correct the condition that caused the spill.

Ohmsett will coordinate with NWS-Earle Environmental Division to prepare written confirmation report to be filed with the NJDEP and the 60-day Release Report to USEPA. The Clean Water Act, Section 311(b)(5) and 40 CFR 110 requires a facility verbally notify the National Response Center to report harmful quantity spills from a facility into waterways or adjacent shorelines within 200 feet of a body of water.

Should the spill at the subject site be of significant quantity (i.e., above and beyond the capacity of the facility), the NWS Earle Fire Department is contacted immediately. The On-Site Facility Contact for spill response identified in Section 2.0 of this SPCC Plan is authorized to commit the

6.0 CONTAINMENT AND DIVERSIONARY STRUCTURES -

ONSHORE FACILITIES – 40 CFR 112.7(c)

In accordance with 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1), appropriate containment and diversionary structures to prevent a discharge are provided at Ohmsett. Secondary containment structures are designed to prevent oil from reaching navigable waters in the event the primary system fails. The secondary containment features at the Tank Farm and Lake Zelman are depicted on Figure 4 and Figure 5.

6.1 DIKES, BERMS OR RETAINING WALLS – 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1)(i)

The eight (8) ASTs and associated piping that comprise the Tank Farm (Naval Tank Inventory #69 through 76, 80, and 117) are located within the concrete dike that acts as secondary containment. The floor and walls of the containment area are coated with epoxy resin paint. The largest single tank in the dike is 10,000-gallons. The combined contiguous volume of the dike, with a six (6)-inch allowance for storm water, is approximately 17,000-gallons. An automatic sump pump that is actuated by a level-control pumps water that may accumulate in the dike to the Test Basin. Additionally, the dike is equipped with manually operated drain valves that are kept closed and locked. In the event that manual drainage is necessary, the storm water will be visually inspected for no sheen prior to discharge.

The former location of the 550-gallon diesel tank (Naval Tank Inventory #80) is another concrete dike coated with epoxy resin paint. The spill capacity of the dike, with a two (2)-inch storm water allowance, is approximately 860-gallons. When in use, accumulated stormwater is drained manually through valves in the dike, following a visual inspection for sheen or evidence of leaks.

When not in use, these valves are kept closed and locked.

Lake Zelman is a concrete containment area located adjacent to and east of the oil processing facilities. This area provides secondary containment for potential spills from oil processing, overflow from the 10,000-gallon concrete equalization tank (two (2) chambers), or handling of oil drums. The total capacity of Lake Zelman is approximately 67,700-gallons. Storm water from Lake Zelman is pumped via sump pump through an oil water coalescer/separator to the Middletown Sewerage Authority. The pump can be manually overridden. Storm water can also be manually removed through the use of portable pumping systems maintained at the facility.

6.2 CURBING – 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1)(ii)

The decks surrounding the Ohmsett Test Basin are curbed with the exception of the southwest corner that serves as a vehicle access ramp. The east deck measures approximately 686-feet by 7-feet within a 0.83-foot curb. The west deck measures approximately 686-feet by 14 feet with a 0.83-foot curb. The equipment wash pad at the north end of the tank measures approximately 86-feet by 24-feet with a 0.83-foot curb. The deck space drains through scuppers to the Main Test Tank, which in turn acts as approximately 970,000-gallons of secondary containment.

Spills from the two (2) equalization tanks and three (3) test oil ASTs are contained in the Test Tank and would be recovered by mechanical means and sent through oil processing systems once recovered.

6.3 CULVERTING, GUTTERS, OR OTHER DRAINAGE SYSTEMS -

40 CFR 112.7(c)(1)(iii)

Drainage systems at Ohmsett include the wash pad, vehicle and personnel decks, the Tank Farm and Lake Zelman. The concrete wash pad is used for decontaminating test devices and as a decontamination area. It is a section of the Test Basin deck located between the north end of the tank and the control tower. The dimensions of the concrete wash pad are 23 feet by 65 feet, with a 0.83-foot curb. The flooring of this area is graded so spent wash water flows to a catch basin and then into the equalization tank or the Test Basin. This area is also used when testing spill response equipment where smaller oil and water spills are expected.

Vehicle and personnel decks drain into the Test Basin through 10-inch wide three (3)-inch deep scuppers that pass beneath the carriage rails and tow cables. Fluids that are released on the decks flow to the Test Basin where they are skimmed and manually recovered.

Lake Zelman is a concrete secondary containment structure for the oil recovery system located to the east of Building R-26. It has an approximate containment capacity of 67,000 gallons. A sump is located at the base of the filter pad wall. An automatic sump pump lifts stormwater up to discharge to the oil/water separator after inspection.

The flooring in Building R-41 is pitched towards the centrally located floor and/or trench drains.

The subgrade piping that exits the northeastern wall of Building R-41 connects to a pump prior to the Test Basin. If product is detected in the drains R-41, a switch release is triggered which activates the pump to transfer the oil into the Test Basin.

6.4 WEIRS, BOOMS OR OTHER BARRIERS – 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1)(iv)

Two (2) weirs are located at Ohmsett and the locations and purposes of each are as follows:

1. The first weir is located in the scum pipe located at the northeastern corner of the Test Basin. This weir recovers test fluids that are spilled onto the Test Basin water surface for recovery into the equalization pit.

2. The second weir is a portable unit intended for surface drainage ditches in conjunction with a recovery pump.

6.5 SPILL DIVERSION PONDS – 40 CFR 112.7(c)(1)(v)

As stated above the Test Basin is used as a spill diversion pond at Ohmsett. The capacity of the Test Basin is approximately 3.5-million gallons operated with 2.6-million gallons of saltwater.

In the event of a spill, the Test Basin can support in excess of 970,000-gallons of oil and can process the contaminated water at a rate of 2,000 gallons per minute (gpm).
