NAVSTA ROTA SPCR 1 August 2002

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Regulations

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Environmental Final Governing Standards (FGS) for Spain define the environmental protection compliance standards for DOD installations in Spain. The FGS for Spain were developed by adopting the more protective requirements of the Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document (OEBGD), European Union laws and regulations, and Spanish laws and regulations at the national, regional, and local levels.

A facility is required to be included in the SPCR Plan if it is capable of producing a significant spill. A significant spill is defined by quantity as follows:

• Hazardous Waste (HW) or Hazardous Substance (HS) spill in excess of the corresponding reportable quantity (RQ) listed for the particular HW or HS in Table A.4 of FGS

• Refined Petroleum, Oil and Lubricants (POL) or liquid or semi-liquid hazardous material Hazardous Material (HM), HW, or HS spill in excess of 110 gallons

• Other HM in excess of 500 pounds (lbs.)

• A combination of POL and HM, HW, or HS in excess of 750 lbs.

In addition, facilities located near an environmentally sensitive area with the potential to impact the environment have been included in the Spill Prevention, Control and Reporting (SPCR) Plan.

NAVSTA Rota is required to have a SPCR Plan because it is capable of producing a significant spill as defined above.

All handling and storage facilities that are responsible for HS or POL materials in excess of the above quantities are required to have a copy of Volume 1 of the NAVSTA Rota SPCR Plan.

1.2 Administrations and Policy

This Spill Prevention Control and Reporting (SPCR) Plan has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 18 of the Final Governing Standards (FGS) for Spain, 1994.

Sixteen facilities at NAVSTA Rota have been identified as having the potential to produce a significant spill as defined by the FGS. A comprehensive review of these facilities is given in Volume 1, and recommended corrective actions are given in Annex N of this volume.

SP4520-10-R-0001, SPAIN Page 5 of 76 ATTACHMENT 11a

NAVSTA ROTA SPCR 2 August 2002

Spill prevention, control, and reporting procedures for all HS, HW and POL handling and storing facilities are described in this volume.

1.2.1 SPCR Plan Update Requirements

• The FGS require the SPCR Plan to be updated at least every five years or when there are significant changes in operations or facilities or a significant spill occurs.

• COMFAIRMED requires that the SPCR Plan be reviewed annually and updated as needed.

• Changes of personnel, titles, codes, and telephone numbers will be provided by notice.

Compliance to the SPCR Plan is mandatory for all SPCR facilities identified herein.

The SPCR Plan supersedes all previous spill contingency plans.

1.3 SPCR Organization

Volume 1 contains the general spill policy and the Facility Evaluations (SPCR facilities) identified at NAVSTA Rota.

Volume 2 contains spill prevention, control and reporting procedures for NAVSTA Rota and annexes with supporting information.

1.4 NAVSTA Rota Description

1.4.1 Mission

NAVSTA Rota supports naval activities of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. The Naval Station provides facilities, services and material support for operations and maintenance of naval weapons and aircraft for activities and units of the operating forces as designated by the Chief of Naval Operations. Facilities at NAVSTA Rota include three fueling piers, a large airport, various large fuel storage facilities, a power plant, and various other support facilities.

1.4.2 History

The U. S. Naval Complex at Rota was constructed in response to the September 1953 Defense Agreement permitting U.

2.0 SPILL POLICY

2.1 COMNAVACTSPAIN/NAVSTAROTA General Spill Policy

SIGNIFICANT SPILL: Any uncontained spill of petroleum products, oil and lubricants (POL) or hazardous material/waste greater than the reportable quantity (RQ) -- or if the Facility Incident Commander (FIC) determines a spill is significant.

If a spill is contained inside an impervious berm, or on a non-porous 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. Significant spills must be reported and documented. (See detailed notification requirements in Section 2.9.2, and Section 4 of Volume 2.)

Example: Immediate cleanup is key; if a 50 gallon POL spill on land is ignored, not cleaned up immediately and allowed to seep into ground, that is significant, even though it is not specified as a reportable quantity.

YOU SPILL YOU DIG!

All activities on-board NAVSTA will clean up all spills regardless of quantity, significance, or whether you have to report it. All activities that have the potential for a significant spill will have the capability to clean up a minor spill (up to 110 gallons of POL).

The spill causing activity has the primary responsibility for spill notification and cleanup (i.e., providing manpower, materials, absorbents, shovels, brooms, drums, etc.). The spill causing activity will prepare the incident report, as needed.

If a response action is required, once the spill is stabilized and contained by the Fire Department, the spill causing activity will support the cleanup and be responsible for disposal. (Tenant/Visiting Command may be responsible for response costs.)

All spills (of any amount) on the flightline should be reported to the Fire Department at ext: 2950.

2.2 Initial Response Actions

The phone number 911 is Emergency Dispatch, used for Emergencies. This number immediately invokes Fire, Police, Ambulance or Disaster Preparedness Officer, as needed, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It should be used for emergencies only!

Refer to communications plan (see Figure 2.1 at end of section) and Section 2.9 (notification checklist) for non-emergency Immediate Notifications.

What constitutes an Emergency?

1. Fires, smoke, explosions, alarms

2. Personnel injuries

3. Unknown situations, not sure what to do? Where it’s coming from? Too much to handle? Call for help before it gets out of control.

As stated in general spill policy, all activities at NAVSTA Rota that handle hazardous materials and petroleum products will have the capability to contain a spill they may cause.

When a significant spill is first detected (>110 gallons POL), the following actions should be taken:

1) Without endangering yourself, stop the leak or spill.

2) Evacuate personnel to a safe distance upwind and upgrade from the spill.

NAVSTA ROTA SPCR 6 August 2002

3) Pass the word to people in adjacent places.

4) Inform your supervisor or the supervisor of the nearest facility.

5) Dial 911 (security dispatch).

6) Give the following information:

• Name, telephone number, and identification of caller

• Time and location of spill

• Identity and quantity of spill materials

• Origin and cause of spill

• Description of spill (behavior of spill, affected areas)

• Anticipated movement of spill

• Planned or initiated actions

• Type of assistance required

• Is the spill on land or in the harbor waters?

7) For water spills, notify Port Operations Duty Officer (number 911) to activate the

Water Immediate Response Team.

8) Restrict all sources of ignition.

9) If a person has been splashed with a fuel or chemical, wash him/her with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, remove all contaminated clothing, and GET MEDICAL

ATTENTION: EXT. 911.

10) If a person has been overexposed by inhalation, get the victim to fresh air, supply artificial respiration, if necessary, and GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

11) Wait for the NAVSTA Rota Fire Department to arrive and direct them to the spill.

12) Provide Material Safety Data Sheets, if available.

2.3 First Responder: NAVSTA Rota Fire Department

The Fire Department is the First Responder and Immediate Response Team (IRT) for land and support team for water spills. The Fire Department will respond to contain the

SP4520-10-R-0001, SPAIN

NAVSTA ROTA SPCR 7 August 2002 spill and to clean up minor spills with available resources only. They are to be notified for all spills regardless of quantity, especially for fuel spills.

2.4 Response Actions

The spill causing activity has the primary responsibility for spill notification and cleanup (i.e., the providing manpower, materials, absorbents, etc.). The spill causing activity will prepare the incident report, as needed.

All activities that have the potential for a significant spill will have the capability to clean up minor spills (up to 110 gallons of POL).

Once the spill is stabilized and contained by the Fire Department, the spill causing activity will support the cleanup. Most land oil spills can be cleaned up using Level D Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), a broom, and a shovel.

2.5 Command Duty Officer (CDO)

The CDO will immediately assume the following duties temporarily as the Installation On-Scene Coordinator (IOSC) and direct immediate response until properly relieved by the IOSC. The CDO is the official Command Representative and is given the authority to act on the behalf of the Commanding Officer in the event of an emergency. The CDO will work closely with the Fire Chief (IOSC), commit resources as the situation dictates, and notify personnel using recall lists at his/her disposal.

2.6 Installation On-Scene Coordinators (IOSCs) for POL/HS

The IOSC for land spills is the Fire Chief. The IOSC for spills during fueling operations is the Fuels Officer. The IOSC for water spills in the harbor is the Port Operations Officer. The IOSCs will implement the SPCR Plan for any significant spill.

2.7 Immediate Response Teams (IRTs)

Land IRT: All Personnel have been trained in Emergency Response Procedures. The teams can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by dialing 911.

Water IRT: All personnel are trained in small boat operations and oil spill containment and recovery. Personnel can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the CDO or Port Services Duty Officer by dialing 911.

3.0 SPCR FACILITY EVALUATIONS

Potential POL and Hazardous Substance/Material spills associated with the activities at NAVSTA Rota could result from transfers, tank or pipe failure, leaks, accidents, systems malfunction, human error, or natural disasters. Because NAVSTA Rota has relatively level terrain in the areas in which these products are stored, surface runoff or spills would either pond in depressions in the local topography or would flow to one of the many drainage ditches located on base. Most small spills associated with these areas would soak into the sandy soil before reaching a drainage ditch.

Because much of NAVSTA Rota is unpaved, the potential for POL and HS/HM spills to soak into the ground is high. Leaks from underground storage tanks (USTs) and pipelines are the greatest potential source for subsurface contamination. However, most USTs have been replaced with new double-walled USTs.

Seventeen sites (16 facilities, and one miscellaneous AST section) have been addressed in this SPCR plan because of their ability to produce a significant spill. The site visits were conducted in August of 2001. The following site evaluations contain:

general information about the site, a discussion of possible spill risks, a description of storage tanks and products stored, site transfer operations, types of containment, drainage, security, and a site figure. The information presented for each site was obtained by visual inspection of the facility; review of pertinent records, maps, and the May 2001 SPCR Plan; and interviews with NAVSTA Rota personnel. Annex N (Volume

2) presents a list of recommendations for the deficiencies identified during the site evaluation. Volume 2 details spill prevention guidelines for NAVSTA Rota and contains a tank inventory and management plan in Annex D.

Miscellaneous Hazardous Substances and Areas Worth Special Mentioning

Most hazardous substances and materials at NAVSTA Rota are handled through the Consolidated Hazardous Waste Reutilization and Inventory Management Program (CHRIMP) and stored at the HAZMIN Center (Site 3). The following materials or areas are worth special mention for spill planning purposes but are not one of the 17 sites:

Chlorine Gas

Chlorine gas is stored in 100 kg. (220 lb.) cylinders located at Building 536 (near Utilities Power Plant); there are about 12 cylinders in storage (2640 lbs.). It is used at the drinking water reservoir, Building 71 (2 cylinders-440 lbs.). Chapter 5 of the Final Governing Standards (FGS) states any amount greater than the threshold planning quantity (TPQ) of 100 lbs. will be reported to the Executive Agent (CNE). Public Works Utilities is attempting to eliminate the use of Chlorine Gas for drinking water chlorination and use less toxic liquid sodium hypochlorite. The transition has occurred with the Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) plant, Building 68 (see write up below). NAVSTA Rota’s historical use of gaseous chlorine is about 2000 lbs./year and should decrease.

NAVSTA ROTA SPCR 16 August 2002

See worst-case scenario in Annex L and a discussion on the hazards of chlorine in Annex G.

Propane

There is a significant amount (i.e., fire piles) of propane used on NAVSTA Rota, roughly 61,000 lbs. It is used at:

• MWR Champions – 6.4 CM

• MWR Fleet Recreation Center – 5.8 CM

• NEX Laundromat – 12 CM

• NEX Laundromat – 7.0 CM

• Camp Mitchell – 10.0 CM

• MWR Reflections – (2) 8.2 CM.

Propane is liquefied petroleum gas and would be considered a significant spill if released (1CM = about 262 gallons). Single storage of greater than 10,000 lbs. (9CM) is considered a significant fire hazard. The tanks are routinely serviced by the Resident Officer in Charge of Construction (ROICC) contract. Propane gas is provided through the Supply Department using a blanket purchase agreement.

GAC Plant, Building 68

In the fuel farm area at the drinking water inlet there is about 5280 lbs. (two 1200 kg.

containers) of 15% sodium hypochlorite solution in use. The reportable quantity (RQ) for sodium hypochlorite is 1000 lbs. (125 gallons or 474 liters). The liquid is less toxic then the gaseous chlorine, but not non-hazardous. It is corrosive and an oxidizer. The type used is nearly three times stronger than typical household use chlorine (i.e., clorox). The Supply contract changes containers every 30 days equating an annual usage of roughly 64,000 lbs. A large spill of this material would be considered significant.

Disaster Preparedness Warehouse, Building 1961

There are 140-50 lb. (7000 lbs.) cans of Super Tropical Bleach (Calcium Hypochlorite) stored in this warehouse. The RQ for calcium hypochlorite is 10 lbs.; a release of this material would be considered significant.

DGF High School Science Laboratory Stockroom, Room 803

A significant amount of small quantity chemicals of various types are stored in this room for classroom experiments. The room is designed for this purpose. If a release occurred it would be a safety issue to the students but contained in the building. It would not be considered significant.

SP4520-10-R-0001, SPAIN

NAVSTA ROTA SPCR 17 August 2002

Naval Hospital Rota

The Hospital uses many different types of chemicals and gases. All chemicals are inventoried and kept in binders sorted by departments, and maintained with the Industrial Hygienists and Hospital’s Safety office in Building 36. Any release would be contained within the building and not considered a significant release.

The Hospital has two underground tanks whose spill procedures are covered under site 17 (miscellaneous tanks).

Naval Security Group Activity (NSGA) and Naval Computer and Telecommunications area (NCTAMS)

Building 533 “Bull Ring” (NSGA), Building 8 (NCTAMS) and Building 1851 (SATCOM/NCTAMS) are secured areas that require special clearances for entry.

Operations at NSGA have decreased and for purposes of this plan, neither site is considered a significant spill risk.

All three (3) areas have USTs that supply emergency generators and small above ground tanks for paper furnaces for classified material destruction. (See spill procedures addressed under miscellaneous tank section, Section 3.17.)

LOX Farm

Cryogenic (very cold) liquids of Nitrogen and Oxygen are stored in significant quantity and the LOX farm, located across from the dog kennels. A release of these substances would not be considered significant by definition but could cause some safety or fire fighting concerns as both substances support or enhance combustion. The tanks and operations are maintained by ROICC service contract. All nitrogen and oxygen is issued through CHRIMP.

PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyls)

Naval Base Rota is PCB free (i.e., no transformers). Small amounts of PCBs may occur through equipment disassembly/demilitarization at DRMO. Spill procedures addressed under site 12 (DRMO).

3.1 SITE 1

NEX Gas Station (Building 178)

3.1.1 General Information

Site 1 consists of a gas station and service bay run by the Navy Exchange. It is located across from the corner of Dalmau Street and Second Avenue. Vehicles receive unleaded fuel from four dispenser pumps on two islands in front of the building, and receive diesel and kerosene from two dispenser pumps on the east side of building.

General vehicle maintenance is provided in the service bay. Located on the east side of the building are three USTs and one aboveground tank (AST) that store the fuel for the station. They are fueled approximately once a week from the asphalt fueling area directly in front of the tanks.

3.1.2 Spill Prediction

During normal business hours a significant gasoline spill would be a serious problem (See Worst-Case Scenario in Annex M). The NEX gas station is continuously manned during normal business hours 1000-1730.

Site 1 contains the following spill risks:

• Fuel transfer and dispensing

• Two 10,500-gallon double-walled USTs containing unleaded gasoline, Tanks 178.1 and 178.2. (Figure 3.1.1)

• 6,500-gallon double-walled UST containing diesel fuel, Tank 178.3

• 2,000-gallon double-walled AST containing kerosene fuel

• 1,320-gallon double-walled AST containing used oil and hydraulic fluid

• Four 55-gallon drums containing used oil and hydraulic fluid.

Possible causes of a spill include personnel error during transfer of fuels from tanker truck to USTs and the AST, or while using the dispenser pumps. Spills from both sources would not be contained and would flow across the asphalt onto the surrounding soil. The largest possible spill volume would be the volume of one of the USTs, 10,500 gallons, which should be contained in the double-wall of the tank. If this failed, the fuel would leak directly into the soil.

Spills occurring at the 2,000-gallon AST adjacent to the USTs on the east side of the building would flow over the asphalt paving and into the surrounding soil. A spill here is unlikely; the tank is double-walled and has a containment wall around it.

NAVSTA ROTA SPCR 19 August 2002

Spills occurring with the 1,320-gallon AST and four 55-gallon drums in the station service bay would be contained in the bay and would flow into the floor drain which runs to an Oily Water Separator (OWS) on the west side of the building. The AST is double walled, and a spill from it would be unlikely.

3.1.3 Storage

Gasoline and diesel fuel is stored in three double-walled (steel/fiberglass) USTs equipped with high-level alarms (90%), auto-shutoff alarms (95%), and liquid interstitial detection monitors. The underground fuel piping associated with the USTs is pressurized double-walled plastic piping with line leak detectors. There is an emergency shutoff switch located in the station office.

Kerosene is stored in a double-walled steel AST equipped with a high-level alarm and surrounded by a cinder block containment wall. Used oil and hydraulic fluid is kept in four 55-gallon drums and a pressurized double-walled AST.

There is one OWS located on the west side of the building just outside the service bay.

All drains in the service station run to the OWS.

A Spill kit containing various absorbents is located in the station office.

3.1.4 Transfer

All transfers occur during normal daylight working hours 1000-1730. Fuel deliveries are by 35,000 liter (9200 gallon) tanker truck, typically about twice a week, using a Spanish firm called “Repsol” through a Navy Exchange (NEX) purchase order. No spill provisions are included in the purchase order.

Gasoline and diesel is transferred from tanker trucks to the USTs through covered fill ports that provide secondary containment that drains to the USTs. Fuel is transferred from the USTs to the fuel dispenser pumps through flexible plastic double-walled piping which is pressurized. The monitoring system for the USTs checks fuel level, gross volume, fuel temperature, and water level.

Kerosene is transferred from tanker trucks to the AST through covered fill ports. The fuel dispenser is located directly on the AST, and fuel is transferred through double-walled piping.

Used oil and hydraulic fluid from vehicle maintenance is collected in four 55-gallon drums, which when full are pumped into a 1,320-gallon AST. When the AST is full, a local contractor pumps the used oil out.

3.1.5 Containment

All ASTs and USTs are double walled. The kerosene AST has an additional cinder block containment wall surrounding it. All of the 55-gallon drums are located on spill trays.

3.1.6 Drainage Control

Spills and runoff from the asphalt and concrete surface around the ASTs, USTs, and fuel dispensers will flow south and pool along curbing and then out the two entrances of the station into the grassy drainage ditch along Dalmau Street.

3.1.7 Security

There is adequate lighting around the station and fueling dispensers to observe and respond to spills. The gas station is located on a secured fenced-in military base with security 24 hours a day for 365 days a year.

3.2 SITE 2

Public Works (Government Vehicles) Gas Station (Building 83)

3.2.1 General Information

Site 2 is located near the corner of Cabrera Street and Fifth Avenue adjacent to the Public Works transportation maintenance compound. The gas station is not manned, fuel is dispersed using an electronic fuel accounting system. Vehicles receive unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel from two dispenser pumps located on a fueling island in front of Building 83. Located directly in front of the building behind the pumps are two USTs that store the fuel for the station.

3.2.2 Spill Prediction

Site 2 contains the following spill risks:

• Two 10,000-gallon double-walled USTs containing unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel, Tanks 83.1 and 83.2. (Figure 3.2.1)

Possible causes of a spill include personnel error during transfer of fuels from a tanker truck to USTs, or while using the dispenser pumps. Spills from both sources would be contained within the concrete bermed fuel dispensing area. The largest possible spill volume would be the volume of one of the USTs, 10,000 gallons, which should be contained in the double wall of the tank. If this failed, the fuel would leak directly into the soil.

3.2.3 Storage

Unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel is stored in two double-walled (steel/plastic) USTs equipped with high-level alarms (90%), auto-shutoff alarms (95%), and vapor interstitial detection monitors. The underground fuel piping associated with the USTs is pressurized double-walled plastic piping with vapor interstitial detection monitors.

Emergency shutoff switches (two total) are located on respective pillars closest to the pumps (one for each pump) and in the station office.

There is one OWS located just north of the USTs. All drains at the bermed fuel dispensing area run to the OWS.

A Spill trailer containing various absorbents is located adjacent to the station office.

3.2.4 Transfer

Unleaded gasoline and diesel fuel is transferred from tanker trucks to the USTs through covered fill ports that provide secondary catchment that drain to the USTs. Fuel is transferred from the USTs to the fuel dispenser pumps through flexible plastic double-

NAVSTA ROTA SPCR 22 August 2002 walled pressurized piping. The monitoring system for the USTs checks fuel level, gross volume, fuel temperature, and water level.

The Repsol contractor fills the tanks weekly. Daily monitoring is performed by the fuels division.

3.2.5 Containment

Both USTs are double walled. The fuel dispensing area is bermed and has drains running to the OWS. The OWS flows to the sanitary sewers.

3.2.6 Drainage Control

Spills and runoff from the asphalt and concrete surface around the fuel dispensers and USTs would flow to drains and the OWS.

3.2.7 Security

There is adequate lighting around the station and fueling dispensers to observe and respond to spills. There is a lockable gated fence surrounding the gas station. The Service station is under constant surveillance using a video camera that is monitored 24 hours a day at Building 3141 (Fuels Dispatch). The gas station is located on a secured fenced-in military base with security 24 hours a day for 365 days a year.
