RECORD OF SPCC PLAN FIVE-YEAR REVIEWS AND AMENDMENTS

In accordance with 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 112.3 and 112.5 of the Spill

Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan regulations, there are two events that require an amendment to the Edwards AFB SPCC Plan.

Event 1

The owner or operator of a facility subject to CFR section 112.5(a) must review and amend the SPCC Plan when there is a change in the facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge of oil as described in

§112.1(b). Examples of changes that may require amendment of the Plan include, but are not limited to: commissioning or decommissioning containers; replacement, reconstruction, or movement of containers; reconstruction, replacement, or installation of piping systems;

construction or demolition that might alter secondary containment structures; changes of product or service; or revision of standard operation or maintenance procedures at a facility.

An amendment made under this section must be prepared within six months, and implemented as soon as possible, but not later than six months following preparation of the amendment.

Event 2

In accordance with §112.5(b), the facility owner or operator must complete a review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan at least once every five years from the date your last review was required under this part. As a result of this review and evaluation, the owner or operator must amend the SPCC Plan within six months of the review to include more effective prevention and control technology if the technology has been field-proven at the time of the review and will significantly reduce the likelihood of a discharge as described in

§112.1(b) from the facility.

In accordance with §112.5(c) the owner or operator must document completion of the review and evaluation, and a Professional Engineer must certify any technical SPCC

Plan amendments in accordance with §112.3(d).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan for Edwards Air Force

Base was developed per 40 CFR 112 and supersedes the previous SPCC Plan dated July

2008.

Purpose

The purpose of this Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan is to describe measures implemented by Edwards AFB to prevent oil discharges from occurring, and to prepare Edwards AFB to respond in a safe, effective, and timely manner to mitigate the impacts of a discharge from the various petroleum and oil storage facilities. This SPCC

Plan has been prepared and implemented in accordance with the SPCC requirements contained in 40 CFR part 112.

In addition to fulfilling requirements of 40 CFR part 112, this SPCC Plan is used as a reference for oil storage information and testing records, as a tool to communicate practices on preventing and responding to discharges with Edwards AFB employees and contractors, as a guide on facility inspections, and as a resource during emergency response.

Required Actions

The 40 CFR part 112, section 5 rule requires facilities to complete a review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan at least once every five years.

Recommended Actions

In accordance with the January 30, 2004 memorandum for file (page i of this SPCC), Edwards AFB is not required to implement the best engineering practice recommendations identified in this SPCC Plan. The memorandum for file states that based on a 2001

Supreme Court decision, Edwards AFB is not required by law to correct regulatory deficiencies which are applicable to “waters of the United States,” that are cited herein

(unless mandated by separate environmental regulations). If funding is available;

Edwards AFB should consider implementation of these recommendations as a means to further enhance spill prevention and control for the Base. It should be noted however, that vii

For most current version of this document contact 412 CE/CEV at 661-277-1401 and ask for the Tanks/SPCC Program Manager even without exposure to “waters of the United States,” California SPCC regulations still apply to facility with a petroleum storage capacity in excess of 1,320 gallons.

Regulatory Deficiencies and Best Engineering Practice Recommendations

All regulatory deficiencies and best engineering practice recommendations identified in the

2008 SPCC Plan for Edwards AFB have been addressed.

Limitations

Due to the highly sensitive and often classified nature of activities conducted at Edwards

AFB. The assessor, in some instances, was not able to access or visually inspect every petroleum or oil storage facility. In these instances, Edwards CEV visually inspected these areas and provided the assessor with pertinent information.

1. INTRODUCTION

The Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure

(SPCC) Plan has been prepared to establish and implement those measures at Edwards

AFB that will meet the requirements of 40 CFR 112, Oil Pollution Prevention. All oil delivery, storage, and handling practices must comply with 40 CFR 112 regulations.

Furthermore, California Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act, Chapter 6.67, Sections

25270 to 250270.13 (amendments in 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 2008); California

Monitoring and Response Plan for New Underground Storage Tanks, Title 23, Division 3, Chapter 16, requires Edwards AFB to have an SPCC Plan that adequately provides a history of past spills, the potential for an oil discharge, and containment procedures and equipment to prevent oil spills into or upon a navigable waterway or shoreline in the United

States. Note that the requirement for “history of past spills” is based on the former SPCC rules (i.e., promulgated 11 December 1973). The SPCC revisions effective 16 August

2002 do not require the inclusion of “spill history” in the SPCC Plan. Additionally, note that no waters of the United States are present at Edwards AFB.

40 CFR 112 establishes the “procedures, methods and equipment, and other requirements for equipment to prevent the discharge of oil from non-transportation-related onshore and offshore facilities into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines.” This part applies to “owners or operators of non-transportation-related onshore or offshore facilities engaged in drilling, producing, gathering, storing, processing, refining, transferring, distributing, using, or consuming oil and oil products, and which, due to their location, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil in quantities that may be harmful, as defined in 40 CFR 110.” It should be noted that even without exposure to “waters of the United States,” California SPCC regulations still apply to facility with a petroleum storage capacity in excess of 1,320 gallons.

Petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) storage capacity and operations at Edwards AFB fall into a number of the applicable categories; therefore, an SPCC Plan must be developed and implemented.

For most current version of this document contact 412 CE/CEV at 661-277-1401 and ask for the Tanks/SPCC Program Manager

Edwards AFB is located in an arid region of southwest California. Geographically, the facility covers approximately 470 square miles including three dry lakes – Rogers Dry

Lake, Rosamond Dry Lake, and Buckhorn Dry Lake.

1.1 Plan Update and Amendment

This SPCC Plan for Edwards AFB will be reviewed by the owner or operator every five years as outlined in the Owner/Operator Record of SPCC Plan Five-year Review Page

(page iii). Furthermore, the SPCC Plan is required to be amended within six months and changes implemented within one year of any material changes to the facility. Any technical amendments to the SPCC Plan must be reviewed and certified by a California

Licensed Professional Engineer (also as noted on page iv).

1.2 Plan Purpose

The purpose of the SPCC Plan is to establish procedures, methods, equipment, and other criteria to prevent the discharge of oil products from non-transportation-related onshore and offshore facilities into or upon navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines. It should be noted that even without exposure to “waters of the United States,”

California SPCC regulations still apply to facility with a petroleum storage capacity in excess of 1,320 gallons.

At a minimum, the SPCC Plan will address the following:

Spill Prevention – System components and characteristics, and operating procedures to prevent the occurrence of oil spills.

Spill Control – Control measures to prevent a spill from entering navigable waters.

Spill Countermeasures – Countermeasures to contain, clean up, and mitigate the effects of an oil spill that could impact navigable water.

This plan is organized by key elements required in a SPCC Plan. Where applicable, regulatory requirements listed in 40 CFR 112 are cited in the section or subsection heading.

State regulations including, but not limited to, the California Water Code, California

For most current version of this document contact 412 CE/CEV at 661-277-1401 and ask for the Tanks/SPCC Program Manager

Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act, California Government Code (pipeline regulations) and industry standards including, but not limited to, the American Petroleum Institute (API) standards, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, Steel Tank Institute

(STI) standards and other recommended practices are referenced as necessary throughout the SPCC Plan.

1.3 Plan Focus

This SPCC Plan is designed to address oil-containing structures at Edwards AFB, except for any container with capacity less than 55 gallons. The major, or high-risk, oil-containing structures will receive special attention to expedite and simplify SPCC Plan development, implementation, and amendment. Low-risk oil-containing structures such as drums are addressed as well, but not at the level of detail as bulk fuel storage tanks and fueling operations. The level of detail is intended to be commensurate with the level of risk

(i.e., potential for oil release and subsequent harm/damage to dry lake beds and natural resources).

1.4 Plan Organization and Regulatory References

In general, this SPCC Plan follows the sequence of the regulatory requirements for SPCC

Plans outlined in 40 CFR 112.7 and 112.8, and discusses the facility’s conformance to the applicable regulatory requirements of that section. For sections with regulatory references, the federal SPCC regulatory requirements and the related sections that present the Edwards AFB-specific material in the SPCC Plan are listed in the cross-reference matrix Table 1-1.

2.3 Facility Description

Headquarters Air Force Test Center is located at Edwards AFB in an arid region of southern California. The facility is approximately 70 miles northeast of the Pacific Ocean.

The Air Force Test Center occupies approximately 308,000 acres of land including three dry lakes. The facility supports aviation testing for the United States Air Force, NASA

Dryden Flight Research Center and other Department of Defense and federal agencies.

Facility operations include those primary activities of the Air Force Test Center and the operations of departments and tenant commands throughout the facility. Much of the inspection and maintenance performed on bulk fuel storage tanks and related fuel equipment at the facility is conducted by Fuels Management contractor (412 LRS/d Civil

Engineering Liquid Fuels Maintenance (412 CE/CEOIU). Small ancillary tanks

(consumptive end-use tanks) are organizationally managed.

The primary oil management activity at Edwards AFB is the receipt, storage and transfer of jet fuel for use in military and research aircraft. Other oil management activities include the receipt, storage and consumption of:

Fuel oil for heating systems;

Diesel fuel for emergency electrical power generation; and

Diesel fuel and gasoline for motor vehicles.

For most current version of this document contact 412 CE/CEV at 661-277-1401 and ask for the Tanks/SPCC Program Manager

The State of California Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act defines petroleum as:

Crude oil or any fraction which is liquid at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and at normal atmosphere pressure. This includes petroleum-based substances comprised of a complex blend of hydrocarbons such as:

• Gasoline

• Diesel

• Jet Fuels

• Lubricants

• Used Oils

• Some petroleum solvents

• Petroleum does not include liquid propane gas.

2.4 Excluded Facilities

Certain areas owned by Edwards AFB are leased for non-military uses. These areas include the following:

NASA Dryden Flight Research Center – No lease (permitted facility)

Edwards AFB Credit Union – Lease expires 31 October 2013

Muroc School District – Lease expires 14 July 2015

AT&T Telephone Exchange – Lease expires 21 June 2025

NASA Dryden Flight Research Center represents a significant oil management tenant operation at Edwards AFB. Oil management operations for NASA include the storage and transfer of jet fuel and ground products. NASA maintains their own SPCC plan for their oil storage. Their tanks and containers are not included in this SPCC plan.

There are no oil storage or management operations at Edwards AFB Credit Union.

However, ground product is stored in aboveground storage tanks (AST) at the Muroc

School District and at multiple Pacific Bell locations at Edwards AFB. The school district site is co-located with the Edwards AFB Desert High School and it includes two double wall ASTs (4,000 gallons diesel, 4,000 gallons unleaded gasoline). This facility is not included in this SPCC plan.

For most current version of this document contact 412 CE/CEV at 661-277-1401 and ask for the Tanks/SPCC Program Manager

Several AT&T sites include double wall ASTs (1,000 gallons diesel – Pain and Forbes

Avenues – Main Site, Switching Office) that serve adjacent emergency electrical generators. In addition, multiple remotely located AT&T microwave tower sites contain emergency electrical generators with internal single wall diesel fuel storage tanks

(typically less than 500 gallons diesel). It has been reported that AT&T maintains their fuel storage tanks in accordance with their own SPCC Plan.

Additionally, the newly constructed AAFES gas station contains three motor oil ASTs

(ranging in size between 275 and 330-gallons) that are owned and maintained by

Firestone. As the tanks are owned and maintained by Firestone, these ASTs are not included in this SPCC.

Note that Edwards AFB Real Estate Management Flight (Work Management Office – Civil

Engineering) has authorized approximately 50 outgrants (e.g., permits, easements) for use of Edwards AFB property, in addition to the leased facilities listed above. It is assumed that most of the outgrants do not comprise activities that include management of oil products in containers equal to or greater than 55 gallons with an aggregate capacity exceeding 1,320 gallons (i.e., SPCC Plan threshold). However, this assumption was not verified for all outgrants. Examples of Edwards AFB outgrants include: underground telephone lines, railroad tracks, public roads, overhead electrical distribution lines, underground water distribution pipes, Federal Aviation Agency facilities, Civil Air Patrol facilities, and U.S. Geologic Society earthquake monitoring facilities.

Furthermore and of particular interest for potential SPCC planning purposes is

Contractor’s Row located east of Main Base Bulk Fuel Storage and north of Forbes

Avenue. The offices and base operating facilities for several contractors are located on

Contractor’s Row. Example:

Midwest Environmental Control – two single wall steel ASTs in steel secondary containment, 500-gallon capacity for each AST (diesel fuel).

Excluded Facilities Guidance Lessee and Outgrantee Responsibility – Onsite lessees or outgrantees of contiguous areas of Edwards AFB which are excluded from the Edwards AFB SPCC planning process are required to certify that they will comply with all applicable federal, state, local and facility environmental laws and regulations. Edwards AFB Responsibility – Edwards AFB is required to initiate a system of active management regarding leased or outgranted areas which are exempted from the SPCC planning process. At a minimum, and if not already in place, contract language from the Edwards AFB Real Estate Management Flight is required to be modified to include verbiage which stipulates that the lessee or outgrantee shall comply with all applicable federal, state, local and facility environmental laws and regulations. SPCC Plan Objective – Combining adequate contract language with a program of active management for leased or outgranted lands (i.e., field verification of compliance, inclusion of leased or outgrant lands in the facility’s internal environmental compliance audits) will serve to better ensure Edwards AFB that their lessees/outgrantees are complying with applicable regulations.

2.5 On-going and Pending Petroleum-Related Projects of Significant

Impact

As with any major Department of Defense facility, the petroleum management infrastructure at Edwards AFB is constantly changing to keep pace with general maintenance and operational mission requirements. Most of these changes involve small-scale, low-risk petroleum-related actions such as the addition of a new emergency electrical generator or painting of the exterior of a double wall tank. These small-scale and low-risk oil storage systems typically contain less than 5,000 gallons of petroleum, and on average contain only 500 gallons of petroleum. Though low in risk, these types of changes at the facility require Edwards AFB to amend the SPCC Plan in accordance with the instructions set forth at the beginning of the plan. As stated previously under Record of SPCC Plan Reviews/Amendments (Event 2) – The facility owner or operator must review and amend the SPCC Plan “when there is a change in the facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shore lines… or that may affect natural resources belonging to, appertaining to, or under the exclusive management authority of the United States …” Plan revisions will be made within 6 months of changes.

For most current version of this document contact 412 CE/CEV at 661-277-1401 and ask for the Tanks/SPCC Program Manager

Of particular interest are the large-scale, high-risk petroleum-related facility changes that can materially affect the potential for Edwards AFB to impact the environment. The most significant petroleum-related projects at Edwards AFB that are at various stages of technical and financial development and/or approval are listed below:

Base Bulk Fuel Storage Area (Facility 4900 series) – Main Base

Pending Action – MA069-AST (840,000 gallons), MA070-AST (420,000 gallons), MA071-AST (340,000 gallons), and MA072-AST (340,000 gallons) – Removal from service and demolish.

Pending Action – Build new bulk storage facility. After construction of the new bulk storage facility, about 14,000 feet of Kinder-Morgan 6 inch line will be abandoned and slurry filled from Valve Box 1 to bulk, and above 7,000 feet of

Martech 6 inch line from existing bulk storage to Gergorious will be abandoned and slurry filled.

Pending Action – Conversion of the Kinder-Morgan Telemetry/Pumping Station

(TPS) to a filtration and fuel additive injection facility when Edwards AFB transitions from JP-8 to Jet A (F-24) jet fuel. The TPS will have a 10,000 gallon

FSII tank and two 500 gallon tanks of SDA and CI additives.

On-going Action – MA073-AST (340,000 gallon JP-7) – Conversion to JP-8 jet fuel storage.
