Introduction and Plan Administration 2 March 2020

INTRODUCTION AND PLAN ADMINISTRATION

This Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan for the U.S. Army Garrison Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG) has been prepared to comply with federal regulations under Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 112 (40 CFR Part 112). This SPCC Plan focuses on (1) measures to prevent potential release of petroleum, oils, and lubricants (POL) to storm sewers or other overland routes that flow into surface water, groundwater, or to industrial or sanitary sewers; and (2) responses to control and mitigate such releases should they occur.

PURPOSE

This SPCC Plan documents the spill prevention program implemented at Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) to minimize the potential for POL discharges, as required by federal, state, and army regulations. In accordance with 40 CFR Part 112, this SPCC Plan details the equipment, workforce, procedures, and steps available, or used, by YPG to prevent a discharge of oil used or stored on the installation from entering the environment and navigable waters of the United States. This Plan further details procedures and processes to control and countermeasures to be initiated in the event that an unpermitted discharge of oil occurs at the installation.

This SPCC Plan is a working document designed to be used as a tool to prevent or minimize spills, and is revised and amended periodically to reflect changes or modifications in facilities or practices on the installation.

SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY

This SPCC Plan is applicable to:

USAYPG;

All military units located on YPG, or utilizing YPG facilities;

Contractors and lessees located on or utilizing the installation (Note: Contractor-Owned

Contractor-Operated fuel stations have a separate SPCC Plan and are not covered by this Plan); and

All federal, state, regional, local government or non-government, and private or public agencies or organizations that use the installation for organized or individual actions, projects, or activities.

FORMAT

YPG is a large installation (over 1,300 square miles) consisting of several geographic regions, each containing various cantonment areas with different operational missions. The format of this document is designed to serve as a tool for management and employees to implement, maintain, and document spill prevention control measures and responses. To provide clarity and reduce redundancy, this SPCC Plan is formatted to present general information (e.g., location, climate, procedures, and training) of the entire installation. SPCC requirements are specified in Tables 1 and 2 (as outlined in 40 CFR Parts 112 and 109, respectively) in regard to YPG daily operations.

YPG is composed of five cantonment areas, which are displayed as exhibits in the SPCC plan.

Each exhibit presents specific information of the cantonment area (i.e., the facilities’ daily operations, nearby drainages, and the use of used oil, fuel, and other machinery fluids) that are subject to the SPCC rule.

Introduction and Plan Administration 8 March 2020

LOCATION OF PLAN (§112.3(e))

A complete copy of the SPCC Plan is available for on-site review by the EPA Regional Administrator during normal working hours at the Environmental Sciences Division (ESD) offices, located in Building 307 within the HCA of the installation. Complete copies of the SPCC Plan are also maintained in the following locations:

YPG Fire Stations (Mobile Hazardous Response Truck, HCA, LAAF, and KFR);

Environmental Support Services Contractor - Building 105; and Emergency Operations Center Building - 2670.

Site-specific SPCC Plans that include descriptions, details, and layouts specific to each cantonment area and the SPCC facilities located in those areas are included as Exhibits to the master SPCC Plan. These Exhibits remain subject to the provisions set forth in the Master SPCC Plan. The pertinent Exhibit is maintained on-site at subject facilities if the facility is operated/attended at least four hours per day and/or at the office of the YPG organization responsible for operation of that facility (e.g., the site-specific plan for Building 3528, Motor Pool Storage Yard, is maintained by logistics at Building 3530A) if the facility is not occupied and used on a daily basis.

Introduction and Plan Administration 9 March 2020

PLAN REVIEW AND AMENDMENT (§112.5 AND 112.4)

Scheduled Plan Reviews (§112.5(b)) The SPCC Plan must be reviewed at least once every five years and amended, as necessary, within six months to include more effective facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge, as described in §112.1(b). Once effective technology has been field-proven at the time of the review and will significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill event, the SPCC plan will need to be certified by the PE of any technical amendments in accordance with §112.3 (d). Scheduled reviews and plan amendments are recorded in the Record of SPCC Plan Reviews (Table 3). This log must be completed even if no amendment is made to the plan as a result of the five-year review.

Amendment of SPCC by Regional Administrator (§112.4) In accordance with §112.4 (a), if a discharge, as defined in §112.1(b)1, that is more than 1,000 gallons of oil in a single discharge or more than 42 gallons of oil in each of two discharges occurs within any 12-month period, then YPG will provide a copy of this SPCC Plan to the EPA Region 9 Regional Administrator for review within sixty (60) days, as specified in Part III of this SPCC Plan.

The EPA Regional Administrator can require YPG to amend the SPCC Plan if it is determined that the plan does not meet the requirements of 40 CFR 112 or that an amendment is necessary to prevent and contain any future discharges. The USAYPG will amend the facility SPCC Plan within 30 days and implement it as soon as possible, but not later than six months after the amendment.

Changes to Facilities (§112.5(a)) In accordance with §112.5, when there is a change in the facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge, YPG will amend the facility SPCC Plan within six months and implement it as soon as possible, but not later than six months following the preparation of the amendment. Such a change may include construction or demolition of secondary containment structures, commissioning or decommissioning of bulk oil storage containers or equipment, changes in product use, or revision of maintenance procedures.

The YPG ESD routinely reviews and evaluates facilities subject to the SPCC rule for such changes.

Amendments to this plan made to address changes of this nature are referred to as technical

1 §112.1(b) describes a discharge as one that “…may be harmful, as described in part 110 of this chapter, into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines...”.

40 CFR Part 110 defines a discharge of oil that may be harmful under the Clean Water Act (CWA) as that which (a) causes a sheen or discoloration on the surface of the water or adjoining shorelines, causes a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the surface of the water or upon adjoining shorelines, or violates an applicable water quality standard.

§112.2 further defines a discharge as including, but not limited to, any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping of oil, but excludes discharges in compliance with a permit under Section 402 of the CWA;

For purposes of this part, the term discharge shall not include any discharge of oil that is authorized by a permit issued under Section 13 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 407).

Introduction and Plan Administration 10 March 2020 amendments and must be certified by a registered PE in accordance with §112.5(c).

Non-technical amendments can be made by facility operators and do not require a registered PE to review and certify the amendment. Such amendments may include the following:

Change in name or contact information (i.e., telephone numbers) of individuals responsible for the implementation of the complete SPCC Plan or site-specific facility contacts, Change in the name or contact information of spill response or cleanup contractors, and/or

Minor typographical edits or corrections.

The earliest copy of an SPCC Plan found for the installation was 1981; however, reference to an SPCC or Installation Spill Contingency Plan (20 April 1979) was noted on a memorandum from B. Dobbs distributing and implementing a 2 March 1987 update to the plan. No copy of the April 1979 document has been located. Table 3 presents a summary of known or documented reviews and updates to the YPG SPCC Plan since September 2002.

PART I: GENERAL FACILITY INFORMATION

1.1 FACILITY DESCRIPTION (§112.7(a)(3))

1.1.1 Location

YPG is a military test and evaluation installation encompassing approximately 1,300 square miles of the Sonoran Desert in southwestern Arizona. The YPG installation facility is located in Yuma and La Paz Counties in southwestern Arizona 23 miles northeast of the City of Yuma, along U.S Highway

95. YPG is bounded on the west by the Colorado River and on the south by the Gila River. The primary mission at YPG is to test and evaluate a variety of military systems, munitions, and hardware. In addition, military units not attached to YPG are frequently deployed to the installation to support the test mission or for training activities.

1.1.2 Regions and Cantonments

The installation is comprised of three geographic regions: (1) Laguna, (2) Kofa, and (3) Cibola.

Several cantonment areas are located within these regions where most of the facilities and activities subject to the SPCC rule are located. A brief description for each of these cantonment areas is provided below and their location on the installation is shown on Figure I-1. Location and vicinity maps of the cantonment areas and facilities subject to the SPCC rule are provided in Exhibits 1 through 5.

Laguna Region

Howard Cantonment Area (HCA): Exhibit 1 – The HCA is the area on the installation where many administrative offices, general installation, and personnel support facilities and functions are located. The types of SPCC-regulated facilities or equipment in this area include service and storage yards for the Directorate of Public Works (DPW), emergency generators, heating oil tanks, an electrical substation, and food service facilities.

Walker Cantonment Area (WCA): Exhibit 2 – SPCC-regulated facilities located in the WCA include various vehicle maintenance and equipment shops, bulk fuel (diesel, JP-8, and fuel oil #2) storage and dispensing stations, the hazardous materials facility (HWMF) and hazardous waste (90-day) storage facilities, laboratory services, emergency generators, heating oil tanks, electrical substation, and a food service facility.

Laguna Army Airfield (LAAF): Exhibit 3 – SPCC-regulated facilities associated with LAAF include aviation support maintenance and equipment shops, bulk fuel storage, transformers, emergency generators, and a food service facility.

Operator:

U.S. Department of the Army

Primary Contact:

Gordon K Rogers Garrison Manager 928-328-3474

General Facility Information 18 March 2020 performed in the administrative area of KFR are to provide services that support the YPG test mission. SPCC-regulated facilities located here include vehicle support maintenance and equipment shops, bulk fuel (JP-8 and gasoline) storage and dispensing stations, emergency generators, heating oil tanks, and a food service facility.

Cibola Region

Castle Dome Annex (CDA) and Castle Dome Heliport (CDH): Exhibit 5 – SPCC regulated facilities in the CDA and CDH cantonment areas are limited to bulk fuel storage tanks (used intermittently to support test and training activities) and emergency/backup generators.

In addition to the cantonment areas located within these general regions, YPG maintains or operates SPCC-regulated facilities located in remote areas of the test range, including the Dynamometer Testing Field Site, Modular Fuel System Training Site, and several electrical substations. These facilities are described in Exhibit 5. There are also smaller USTs (500- to 3,000-gallon capacity) located throughout the installation. Most of these USTs are located adjacent to older buildings and are used to store fuel oil for boilers located in the buildings.

Descriptions of these USTs are provided in the applicable exhibits listed above.

1.1.3 Climate

The YPG is located in the Sonoran Desert, a low-elevation, hot, and arid desert. Climate conditions include clear skies, low relative humidity, slight rainfall, and large daily temperature variations. According to meteorological records, average daily temperatures at YPG range from 80 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to more than 100°F during the summer months and from 30°F to 65°F during winter months. Annual rainfall averages 3.5 inches, with an evaporation rate of 107 inches per year (YPG Climate Report, 2019).

The combination of low precipitation and high evaporation rates normally prevent surface water from infiltrating deeply into the soil. Infrequent heavy rainfall produces localized flash-flooding and ephemeral surface water (i.e., desert washes), especially during thunderstorms in August and September.

1.1.4 Groundwater

The YPG utilizes groundwater for domestic and industrial operations. With the exception of the HCA, depth to groundwater ranges from 157 to 633 feet (ft). Wells servicing HCA indicate depth to groundwater as shallow as 35 ft. Groundwater wells supply potable and non-potable water to the cantonment areas described previously. Each distribution system has one to three wells with individual pumps and storage structures.

1.1.5 Oil and Fuel Storage (§112.8)

The YPG stores oil products used for fueling and maintaining motor vehicles and aircraft as well as for heating. A total of 48 facilities have been identified at YPG that manage petroleum and non-petroleum oil in accordance with 40 CFR 112 Subpart B (§112.8). Materials stored in these locations include fuel oil, diesel, JP-8, unleaded gasoline, and other petroleum oil products in quantities and locations that, if an uncontrolled or unpermitted discharge were to occur, could reasonably be expected to reach navigable waters of the United States. There are also five food service facilities on the installation where non-petroleum oil (i.e., animal fats and vegetable oils)

General Facility Information 19 March 2020 is used and stored in quantities that trigger compliance with the SPCC rule found in 40 CFR 112 Subpart C (§112.12).

Exhibits 1 through 5 provide detailed information and site plans for facilities that use or store oil products in containers and quantities subject to the SPCC rule. Each Exhibit includes an area map that depicts the general location of each SPCC-regulated facility, surrounding drainage features, and any USTs, including those regulated under 40 CFR 280 and exempt from the SPCC rule (§112.1(d)(4)).

1.2 INSTALLATION DRAINAGE (§112.8(b))

The following discussion is a general description of surface drainage on the installation. Details regarding drainage patterns at the individual facilities within the various geographic regions are presented in Exhibits 1 through 5 of this SPCC Plan.

There are no natural perennial lakes, streams, or any known mountain springs within the boundaries of YPG (Entech Engineers, Inc., 1988), and there are no navigable surface waters or shorelines on the installation. Surface flow is limited to runoff of storm water that occurs during medium to heavy rain events.

1.2.1 Colorado and Gila Rivers

Surface runoff from storm events on the western part of YPG generally flows to the west towards the Colorado River, which flows north to south. Surface runoff on the central and eastern parts of YPG generally flows toward the Gila River, which is located south of YPG and flows from east to west towards the Colorado River.

1.2.2 Ephemeral Desert Washes

Desert washes form a network that conveys storm water on and off the installation. Most of the year, the desert washes are dry as a result of the combination of low precipitation, high evaporation, and the relative infrequency of rainfall events. However, medium to heavy rainfall events can easily exceed the ability of the desert soils to absorb the water resulting in sheet flows on moderate sloped, paved, or improved sites.

Washes on or adjacent to YPG vary in size from less than one meter in width and depth to more than one kilometer in width and 10 meters in depth. Major washes are fed by numerous small channels that may vary course during major storm events. These desert washes are integral to the unique activities of the installation and are considered environmentally sensitive areas.

Every effort is made to protect the washes from contamination in the event of a release. Major washes on YPG include the following:

Laguna Region (drainage is to the Gila River):

Castle Dome Wash is fed by several smaller washes and channels originating in the Castle Dome Mountains. Castle Dome Wash is located on the western edge of the Kofa Region and drains to the south-southwest towards the Gila River. The nearest SPCC-regulated facility is the AST located adjacent to Building 6006/6021 at CDA (remote site in Cibola Region; see Exhibit 5 for a description of this facility), which is approximately

0.50 mile west.

General Facility Information 20 March 2020

Kofa Region (drainage is to the Gila River):

Vinegaroon Wash, located in the southwest corner of the Kofa Region, drains to the south and west. The nearest SPCC-regulated facility (Building 3333/3334) is located approximately 3.7 miles northwest of this wash.

Big Eye Wash is located in the central portion of the Kofa Region and drains south towards the Gila River. The wash is fed by several smaller washes and channels originating in the Kofa Mountains. SPCC regulated facilities do not drain into this wash.

The nearest SPCC-regulated facility (Building 3639) is located approximately 12 miles west of this wash and drains into Vinegaroon Wash.

Fuzzy Belly, Winston, Cedric, Yaqui, and Rutherford Washes are all located in the eastern portion of the Kofa Region and drain south towards the Gila River. The nearest SPCC-regulated facility to these washes (Substation I) is located 1.2 miles away and drains into Yaqui Wash.

Cibola Region (drainage is to the Colorado River):

McAllister Wash and Indian Wash drain south-southwesterly through the south Cibola

Region.

Los Angeles Wash is fed by numerous smaller washes and channels and drains in a southwesterly direction through the south Cibola Region.

Yuma Wash is located in the western Cibola Region and drains southerly into the

Colorado River.

Gould Wash and Mohave Wash, located in the northern part of the Cibola Region, drain in a northwesterly direction.

There are no SPCC-regulated facilities in the vicinity of these washes. The nearest item is an AST at Building 6006/6021, CDA, located approximately 1 mile south and upgradient from Los Angeles Wash.

1.2.3 Gila Gravity Canal

The Gila Gravity Canal carries water from the Colorado River to various users in Yuma County, including the Yuma County drinking water supply and the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District. At its closest point, the Gila Gravity Canal is located approximately 500 ft from the far southwest boundary of the installation. During large storm events, runoff from the HCA cantonment drains toward the Gila Gravity Canal; however, the potential impact on the Gila Gravity Canal from this drainage is limited due to the levees and berms located on the north and south side of the canal. The nearest SPCC-regulated facility on YPG is the AST adjacent to Well X (Building 1496), a double-walled ConVault®, located approximately 0.02 miles east of the canal (see Exhibit 1 for a description of this site).

General SPCC Provisions 23 March 2020

PART II: GENERAL SPCC PROVISIONS

This section provides a discussion of the general provisions of the YPG SPCC Plan, as required by §112.7. This section also provides summary information for activities and facilities at YPG that are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 112 Subpart B and C. As discussed in the “Introduction and Plan Administration” portion of this plan, details of the storage, use, and discharge prevention of oil products for specific facilities subject to the SPCC rule are organized within Exhibits 1 through 5. These discharge prevention methods were used to avoid unnecessary repetition and to provide a more effective and site-specific tool for individuals responsible for management of oil products at each facility, as well as clean up or emergency response actions required in the event of an unauthorized discharge of oil.

2.1 CONFORMANCE WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS (§112.7(a)(1))

Under §112.3(a), the EPA requires facilities to identify those operations that may not comply with the 40 CFR Part 112 requirements and to bring those operations into compliance by the implementation compliance date. 40 CFR 112.8(c)(2) specifies the design and construction requirements for secondary containment of bulk storage containers, which mandates that secondary containment provide sufficient capacity to hold 100% of the largest single container and sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. Also, diked areas must be sufficiently impervious to contain discharged oil. Alternative systems consisting of a drainage trench enclosure must be arranged so that any discharge will terminate and be safely confined in a facility catchment basin or holding pond.

Table II-1 provides a summary listing of facilities at YPG regulated under the SPCC rule (40 CFR Part 112) that deviate or do not currently conform to applicable requirements of the SPCC rule. Details regarding these facilities are provided in the Exhibits to this plan. YPG has made a commitment to bring all activities into compliance with 40 CFR Part 112 as funding becomes available. As these activities are brought into compliance, certification of their compliance will be provided in an update to this SPCC Plan.
