SPCC Plan. At least thirty (30) days prior to the O&M Commencement Date, the Power Authority shall provide Con Edison with a draft Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (“SPCC”) Plan for Con Edison’s review and comment. Provisions relating to Con Edison’s implementation of the SPCC Plan, or any subsequent modification of implementation provisions, are subject to Con Edison’s approval.
SPCC Plan. The Project has a SPCC Plan, which was last revised in July 2005 (available upon request). This SPCC Plan has been developed to address the storage and management of petroleum products at the Project to fulfill the requirements of 40 CFR 112, EPA Oil Pollution Prevention Regulations. The plan describes practices, procedures, structures, and equipment at the facility to prevent spills and to mitigate or preclude any adverse impact on the environment. The Oil Pollution Prevention Regulations (40 CFR 112) which became effective in 1974, were established for the prevention of water pollution by oil discharged from “non-transportation related onshore and offshore facilities.” According to this regulation “non-transportation-related onshore and offshore facilities” include: “Industrial, commercial, agricultural, or public facilities which use and store oil, but excluding any terminal facility, unit, or process integrally associated with the handling or transferring of oil in bulk to or from a vessel.” The Project is included under these regulations as a “non-transportation-related onshore facility” (Sections 112.1(b)), located on the Columbia River. Secondarily, the Project stores greater than 1,320 gallons of oil in above ground storage tanks (Section 112.1(d)(2)). It is the policy of Chelan PUD and all its contractors to recognize that oil contamination of the waters of the State of Washington is harmful. Therefore it is required that emphasis be placed on oil spill prevention, and that the latest engineering and safety procedures be used at all times when dealing with oil storage devices and associated equipment. In accordance with 40 CFR 112.5(b), a review and evaluation of this SPCC Plan is conducted at least once every five years. Chelan PUD will amend the SPCC Plan within six months of the review to include more effective prevention and control technology if: (1) such technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill event from the facility, and (2) if such technology has been field-proven at the time of review. Additionally, the Plan will be modified if a spill larger than 1,000 gallons occurs, or more than one spill of more than 42 gallons occurs within any twelve month period, or if there is a change in the facility design, construction, operation or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge. Any technical amendment to the SPCC Plan shall be certified by a Washington State Professional Engineer within six months aft...
