SPILL PREVENTION CONTROL AND COUNTERMEASURE PLAN

SPCC PLAN REVIEW AND AMENDMENT

(PART 112.5)

In accordance with 40 CFR Part 112.5(b), a review and evaluation of this SPCC Plan will be conducted at

least once every five years. As a result of this review and evaluation, Puget Sound Energy 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) such

technology has been field-proven at the time of review. Any amendment to the SPCC Plan shall be

certified by a Professional Engineer within six months after a change in the Facility design, construction,

operation, or maintenance occurs which materially affects the Facility’s potential for the discharge of oil

into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines.

In addition to the 5-year review described above, PSE’s policy is to conduct internal annual reviews of this

Plan to ensure the information provided is up to date. Minor changes to the plan (i.e., changes that do

not require PE certification as described above) will be documented in the “Summary of SPCC Plan

Amendments” section below.

The undersigned individuals have completed a review and evaluation of the SPCC Plan for the Fredonia

Generating Station, on the indicated date, and will amend the Plan.

2.0 REGULATORY AUTHORITY, DEFINITIONS, GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND PURPOSE OF

THE PLAN (PARTS 112.1, 112.2, 112.3(A) & (B), AND 112.7)

Regulations administered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and

described in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112, that were substantially revised on July

17, 2002, and are periodically updated by EPA (40 CFR, Part 112) require owners or operators of

oil-handling or storage facilities to have Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans

in place to prevent the release of oil to navigable waterways. These requirements are applicable to

non-transportation-related onshore or offshore facilities engaged in drilling, producing, gathering,

storing, processing, refining, transferring, distributing, using, or consuming oil and oil products,

which due to their location, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil in quantities that may be

harmful into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines.

An SPCC Plan is a document that details the equipment, workforce, procedures, and steps to

prevent, control, and provide adequate countermeasures to prevent the discharge of oil to

navigable waters of the United States. The Plan must be prepared in writing and have the full

approval of management at a level to commit the necessary resources to fully implement the Plan.

Oil is defined as oil in any form, including, but not limited to fats, oils, or greases of animal, fish, or

marine mammal origin; vegetable oils, including oils from seeds, nuts, fruits, or kernels; and, other

oils and greases, including petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, synthetic oils, mineral oils, oil refuse, or oil

mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil.

These regulations apply to oil storage or handling facilities that are not transportation related, that

have total aboveground oil storage of more than 1,320 gallons, or total belowground storage

capacity of more than 42,000 gallons that is not regulated under a state program. Containers of

less than 55-gallon capacity are not included in the calculation of the capacity of a facility.

Although not required to be included, several containers at this Facility are less than the 55-gallon

capacity but are included in this Plan as an added precaution. This Facility exceeds the

1,320-gallon threshold requiring an SPCC Plan.

It is the policy of PSE and its contractors to recognize that oil contamination of the waters of the

United States or the State of Washington is harmful. Therefore, it is required that the strongest

emphasis be placed on oil spill prevention, and that the latest engineering and safety procedures

be used at all times when dealing with oil and its associated equipment.

2.1 Plan Organization and Cross Reference (Part 112.7)

This Plan contains the required elements of an SPCC Plan as described in 40 CFR, Part 112. The

Plan has been organized to meet the requirement of 40 CFR Part 112.7 (a)(5) that requires

organizing portions of the Plan to make them readily usable in the event of an emergency. A cross

reference (Table 1) of the sections of 40 CFR, Part 112, Subparts A and B to the sections

contained in this document is included in this section. This cross reference also lists the Facility

characteristics that must be described in the Plan.

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



The requirements of § 112.9 through § 112.15 (portions of Subpart A and Subpart C) are not listed

in Table 1. These requirements are for onshore oil production facilities or for facilities storing and

handling animal or vegetable oils, and are not applicable to this Facility. Other information

contained in the Plan includes the following:

■ Appendix A includes a copy of the “Certification of the Applicability of the Substantial Harm

Criteria”, as described in 40 CFR, Part 112, Appendix C. Based on the requirements listed on

this checklist, the facility is required to maintain a Facility Response Plan (FRP). The FRP is

maintained as a separate document from this SPCC Plan, and is readily available at the

Facility.

■ Appendix B includes copies of PSE Standards and Forms referenced in the SPCC Plan.

■ Appendix C includes copies of inspection and maintenance records for the oil storage

structures at the Facility. This appendix will be maintained by the individual at the Facility

responsible for spill prevention.

■ Appendix D contains secondary containment calculation information for the diked tank

containment area at the Facility.

3.0 GENERAL FACILITY DESCRIPTION (PART 112.7)

The Fredonia Generating Station (Facility) is located at 13085 Ball Road, Mount Vernon,

Washington. The Facility is located in the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 9, Township 34 North,

Range 3 East and at latitude N 48°27’27”, longitude W 122°26’13”. The location of the Facility is

shown on Figure 1.

The Facility is a combustion turbine generating station, having two combustion turbines (Units 1 &

2) each with a generating capacity of 104 MW, and two smaller combustion turbines (Units 3 & 4),

with a generating capacity of 54 MW each, giving the Facility a total generating capacity of 316 MW

(Figure 2). Units 1 & 2 have been in operation since approximately 1982 and Units 3 & 4 have

been in operation since 2001. Other structures at the Facility include fuel storage tanks, fuel

loading/unloading pad, and other equipment associated with generation and electrical power

transmission including a deionized water storage tank, a waste water pond (out of service) and an

electrical transmission switching station. The Facility is intended to be used for either base load or

peak load, depending on weather and market conditions. The Facility is designed for operation by

remote control from PSE’s Eastside Operation in Redmond, Washington. Controls for local

operation have also been provided. The combustion turbines’ primary fuel is natural gas delivered

via pipeline; distillate oil is infrequently used as a backup fuel.

The structures at the Facility consist of buildings or features as indicated on Figure 2. Oil is stored,

used or handled in the following structures and equipment at the Facility:

■ The 4.2-million-gallon aboveground distillate oil storage tank,

■ Transformers and circuit breakers,

■ The fuel loading/unloading pad,

■ Combustion turbine lubrication systems and ancillary equipment and oil drums,

■ Combustion turbine wash water systems, and

■ Gas compressor lubricating system.

3.1 Compliance With Applicable SPCC Requirements (Parts 112.7 (a) and 112.8 (a))

Sections of 40 CFR Part 112.7 that are applicable to this SPCC Plan are Subparts A and B of the

rule, and a summary of operations meeting these requirements is as follows. A listing of the

criteria applicable to this Facility may be found in Table 1, and detailed information regarding each

of these criteria may be found in the Plan sections described in Table 1.

The Facility is designed to prevent oil releases during operation or maintenance of the Facility. Oil

is stored in steel containers that are appropriate for the type of oil being stored in them, and the

containers are stored on impervious floors with appropriate secondary containment consisting of

berms or similar containment features. A map showing the location of oil-containing equipment is

presented in Figure 2 and a summary of potential releases is discussed in Section 3.0.

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



Oil transfers, loading/unloading and other oil-handling activities are manned operations. Fuel

transfer operations are performed using a dedicated fuel loading/unloading pad, and smaller

transfers are performed using drip pans and/or sorbent pads to control potential spills. Spill kits

are readily available at the Facility. As part of the oil-handling protocol, signs are posted to warn

personnel to disconnect hoses and secure containers before transport. Potential spill events at the

Facility have been summarized, and an estimate of the volume, rate of release and direction of

release has been prepared.

Spills likely will be discovered quickly. The Facility is manned from 6 AM to 2:30 PM during the

normal workweek, and oil-containing equipment is routinely inspected. Should a catastrophic

failure of a piece of electrical equipment or rotating machinery occur at any time, the loss of

generating capacity would immediately affect the distribution system. The operators of the

distribution system would be able to quickly direct emergency responders to the Facility in this

event.

Cleanup of minor spills would be performed by Facility personnel, whereas major spills would be

controlled and cleaned up by qualified contractors. Contact information is detailed at the

beginning of this SPCC Plan, and includes appropriate emergency contacts, Facility personnel,

cleanup contractors and regulatory agencies. A description of information required during a

release is also provided.

Inspections and tests are routinely performed on oil-filled equipment and records of these activities

are maintained as part of this SPCC Plan. Visual inspection is performed on all oil-filled equipment

and oil-filled pressure vessels are pressure tested in addition to being visually inspected. The large

distillate oil storage tank at the Facility is inspected in accordance with American Petroleum

Institute (API) procedures as described in API 653, which includes a brittle fracture evaluation.

Smaller non-pressurized oil containers are visually inspected. Consistent with typical industry

procedures, nondestructive testing is not performed on these containers because of the low

container stresses associated with the typically small volumes of oil used in these non-pressure

applications. Visual inspection is adequate to evaluate container condition in these cases.

Oil-handling personnel receive training regarding the SPCC Plan on an annual basis.

The Facility is fully fenced and is accessed through electronically keyed gates, which limits the

potential for unauthorized access to the Facility.

3.2 List of Oil Storage Tanks and Oil-Containing Equipment (Part 112.7 (a)(3)(i))

The following oil-containing tanks and/or equipment are present at the Facility:

■ The tank is situated within a diked secondary containment area of sufficient capacity to

contain the contents of the tank, precipitation from the 25-year, 24-hours storm, with greater

than 6 inches of remaining freeboard. The containment area is lined with natural clay and is

designed to contain spilled oil in accordance with the National Fire Code Volume 13, and the

Uniform Fire Code Division 11. Appendix D includes the containment calculation for the diked

secondary containment area.

The distillate oil AST is connected to combustion turbine Units 1 through 4 via fuel piping, the

majority of which is underground. The primary fuel for the combustion turbines is natural gas

delivered via pipeline; distillate oil is infrequently used as a backup fuel.

3.3.2 63/84/105 MVA Step-up Transformers

Two 63/84/105 MVA step-up transformers (XFR 1295 and XFR 1296), each containing

approximately 18,360 gallons of mineral oil are located on the west side of Units 1 & 2. Each

transformer is equipped with a low oil level alarm that is monitored at the Load Office in Redmond.

The oil drains on the transformers are valved and locked in the closed position. The locations of

the transformers are shown on Figure 2.

3.3.3 2,500/2,800 kVA Transformers

equipped with a low oil level alarm that is monitored at the Load Office in Redmond. The oil drains

on the transformers are valved and locked in the closed position. The locations of the transformers

are shown on Figure 2.

3.3.4 1,000/1,500 kVA Transformers

Two 1,000/1,500 kVA transformers (XFR 1317 and XFR 1318), each containing approximately

169 gallons of mineral oil are located next to Units 1 & 2. Each transformer is equipped with a low

oil level alarm that is monitored at the Load Office in Redmond. The oil drains on the transformers

are valved and locked in the closed position. The locations of the transformers are shown on

Figure 2.

3.3.5 14.4 kV/6k Amp Circuit Breakers

Two 14.4 kV/6k amp power circuit breakers (OBR 1681 and OBR 1682), each with three contacts

are located west of Units 1 & 2. Each contact is housed in a metal container holding approximately

360 gallons of mineral oil. The drains on the containers are valved and plugged in the closed

position. The locations of the circuit breakers are shown on Figure 2.

3.3.6 Unit 3 Spare Transformer

One spare transformer for Unit 3 (XFR 681), containing 5,677 gallons of mineral oil, is located

northwest of Generating Unit 2. The location of the transformer is shown on Figure 2.

3.3.7 500 kVA Station Service Transformer

One 500 kVA station service transformer (BB 4553), containing 225 gallons of mineral oil, is

located north of Unit 2. The location of the transformer is shown on Figure 2.

3.3.8 500 kVA Switchyard Transformer

One 500 kVA switchyard transformer (AI 9143), containing 225 gallons of mineral oil, is located

north of Unit 2. The location of the transformer is shown on Figure 2.

3.3.9 Unit 3 Step-Up Transformer

One Unit 3 step-up transformer (XFR 1410), containing 4,430 gallons of mineral oil, is located west

of Unit 3. The location of the transformer is shown on Figure 2.

3.3.10 Unit 4 Step-Up Transformer

One Unit 4 step-up transformer (XFR 1409), containing 4,430 gallons of mineral oil, is located west

of Unit 4. The location of the transformer is shown on Figure 2.

3.3.11 Unit 3 and Unit 4 Transformer

One Unit 3 and Unit 4 transformer (XFR 1420), containing 458 gallons of mineral oil, is located

between Units 3 & 4. The location of the transformer is shown on Figure 2.

3.3.12 Combustion Turbine and Generator Lubrication Systems/False Start Tanks

Units 1 through 4 have combustion turbine and generator lubrication systems. Combustion turbine

lubrication systems on Units 1 & 2 have a total capacity of 3,300 gallons lubricating oil each,

including a reservoir of 3,000 gallons.

Units 3 & 4 have three combustion turbine lubricating systems per unit, each having a capacity of

90 gallons of lubricating oil. Each lubrication system is equipped with a low level lubrication oil

alarm, which is monitored both at the Facility and at the main control center in Redmond,

Washington. The drains for each lubrication oil system are valved and plugged in the closed

position.

Units 3 & 4 each have a Generator Lubrication System with a capacity of 317 gallons for each unit.

Six False Start Tanks are located at the Facility (Figure 2). Units 1 & 2 have four tanks (two for

each Unit) that are double-wall steel tanks with high level alarms, located in underground concrete

vaults. The False Start Tanks for Units 3 & 4 are fiberglass double wall tanks with leak detection

and high level alarms. The tanks for Units 1 & 2 each have a capacity of 300 gallons each, while

the Units 3 & 4 tanks each have a capacity of 1,000 gallons. The tanks for Units 3 & 4 collect

distillate oil in the event of a turbine “false start,” and they also collect turbine wash water.

Distillate fuel is re-used, and wash water is disposed of at an off-site treatment facility. Because

the tanks are in concrete vaults they are not classified as regulated underground storage tanks

(USTs).

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



3.3.13 Fuel Loading and Portable Containers

Fuel is delivered to the distillate oil AST by tanker truck. Fuel is transferred from the fuel loading/

unloading pad after the trucks are chocked in a stationary position. Fuel is normally transferred

immediately upon arrival to the Facility. In the event that a truck needs to remain overnight at the

Facility without being unloaded, it is parked on the fuel loading/unloading pad with the wheels

chocked.

Up to approximately fifteen 55-gallon drums of make up lubricating oil are present at various

locations at the Facility. All drums are stored in secondary containment drum storage pallets with

75-gallon secondary containment capacity and hardtop roll-tops (to prevent precipitation

accumulation).

3.3.14 Gas Compressor Lubricating System and Lube Cube

Two gas compressors are located west of Units 3 & 4. The gas compressors have a lubricating

system with a capacity of 96 gallons of lubricating oil. Used oil continually accumulates in a

120-gallon “lube cube” west of the southern gas compressor. The lube cube is a double walled

steel AST with a sight glass for gauging capacity. The AST is manually emptied before it is full.

3.4 Drainage Pathways and Distance to Navigable Waters (Part 112.8 (b))

3.4.1 On-Site Drainage

3.4.1.1 DISTILLATE OIL AST

The distillate oil AST is located in a diked secondary containment area that has been designed to

retain approximately 150 percent of the storage volume of the tank. These calculations are shown

in Appendix D. The containment area also serves as a holding area for stormwater that may

contain residual oil.

Discharge of water from the containment area is controlled by a valve located in a valve box west

of the diked area. This valve is padlocked in the closed position under normal conditions. If oil

appears on the surface of the water within the dike, it is removed by vacuum truck, and/or

absorbent materials, and disposed of in a lawful manner. The drain control is opened only after it

has been determined that oil is not present or has been removed from the water that is to be

discharged. See Appendix B for a copy of the information on the placard attached to the drain

control valve.

The stormwater discharged from the containment area drains into a concrete storm drain and into

the sedimentation pond and filter located west of the containment area. Stormwater then drains

through a ditch to the detention pond in the southwest corner of the Facility before being

discharged to the off-site southern ditch. This ditch drains into a ditch that is part of the Skagit

County Drainage District Number 19 system.

The filter between the sedimentation pond and detention pond consists of hay bales as an

additional measure to collect any residual oil, if present. The filter barrier hay bales are inspected

for deterioration or oil discoloration and replaced as necessary.

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



3.4.1.2 DRAINAGE SYSTEMS - GENERAL

Two separate drainage systems are provided for the generating station (Figure 2). The “stormwater

collection system” is designed to convey non-oil-containing stormwater to the detention pond in the

southwest corner of the Facility. The detention pond discharges to a ditch that is part of the Skagit

County Drainage District Number 19 system. The “oily water collection system” is designed to

convey stormwater that could potentially contain oil (from spills or leaks from equipment) to the

main oily water collection sump. The main oily water collection sump contains an oil sensor alarm.

Water is pumped from the main oily water collection sump to the diked secondary containment

area.

The specific areas and/or pieces of equipment that are drained by the oily water collection system

are:

1. The entire area surrounding Units 1 & 2 and their associated transformers (including the spare

transformer for Unit 3).

2. The curbed areas surrounding the two largest transformers at the Facility (PSE ID numbers

1295 and 1296).

3. The fuel loading/unloading pad.

4. The entire area surrounding Units 3 & 4 and their associated transformers.

5. The gas compressor area.

Each of these areas is sloped to drain into individual catch basins. The catch basins are designed

to act as sumps to contain small spills. The outlet for each catch basin has an oily water trap,

which will isolate small spills and keep the remainder of the system clean. Larger spills will drain to

the oily water sump and distillate oil AST diked secondary containment area. This water is

inspected for oil before it is discharged from the containment area.

3.4.2 Potential Off-Site Drainage Pathways

Stormwater discharged from the Facility enters a system of ditches and canals (Skagit County

Drainage District Number 19) immediately south of the Facility.

In the unlikely event that a spill flowed off of the property, the nearest navigable waterway is Padilla

Bay, located west of the Facility (Figure 1). The mechanism for a spill to migrate from the Facility to

Padilla Bay would be surface flow in the Skagit County Drainage District Number 19 system to

Indian Slough, which enters Padilla Bay.

Puget Sound Energy

4.0 POTENTIAL SPILLS AND PREVENTION MEASURES

4.1 Fault Analysis – Potential Spill Events (Part 112.7 (b))

The probability of a major oil release from the Facility is low. A significant oil spill would occur in

the unlikely event of a catastrophic equipment failure; however, a spill of this magnitude likely

would be contained by the spill containment features at the site, specifically the containment dike.

More likely potential spill events would be:

■ A slow leak from a piece of electrical or operating equipment due to a failed gasket or seal,

cracked bushing, or a leaking oil stop plug, fitting, valve or similar item. An event of this nature

would be readily detectable during routine inspection or day-to-day activities, and allow ample

response time for containment.

■ A spill of oil during transport or handling of equipment at the Facility. The personnel

performing these activities would quickly detect an event of this nature, and response would

be rapid.

Potential worst-case spill events at the Facility are summarized in Table 4.

4.2 Oil Spill Containment Systems (Part 112.7(c))

Containment systems for the various pieces of equipment, oil handling and storage structures are

described in this section.

4.2.1 Distillate Oil AST

The tank is situated within a diked secondary containment area of sufficient capacity to contain the

contents of the tank, precipitation from the 25-year, 24-hours storm, with greater than 6 inches of

remaining freeboard. The containment area is lined with natural clay and is designed to contain

spilled oil in accordance with the National Fire Code Volume 13, and the Uniform Fire Code Division

11. Oil released from the tank would be contained in the diked secondary containment area which

has a drain valve that is normally in the closed position; therefore, oil in the containment dike could

be removed prior to draining the containment.

4.2.2.1 COMBUSTION TURBINES UNITS 1 & 2 AND SURROUNDING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

The ground surface surrounding Units 1 & 2 and associated transformers and circuit breakers is

graded to direct surface flow to the oily water collection system. The surface slope would direct

spilled oil to the catch basins, from where the spilled oil would drain to the oily water sump and

then be pumped to the diked secondary containment area. In addition, Transformers 1295 and

1296 are surrounded by concrete curbs that provide secondary containment. Catch basins in the

secondary containment areas are equipped with drains connected directly to the oily water

collection system.

4.2.2.2 COMBUSTION TURBINES UNITS 3 & 4

The ground surface around Units 3 & 4 is graded to direct surface flow to the oily water collection

system, and the associated transformers (1409, 1410, and 1420) located between Units 3 & 4 are

each surrounded by concrete secondary containment curbs, which are equipped with oil/water

separator vaults connected directly to the oily water collection system.

4.2.3 Fuel Loading/Unloading Pad

The concrete fuel loading/unloading pad is sloped to drain to the oily water collection system.

Sump water is pumped to the distillate oil AST diked secondary containment area. An oil sensor

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



alarm is installed to provide automated warning of a release into the main oily water collection

sump.

The fuel forwarding skid is used to transfer fuel from the fuel loading/unloading pad to the

distillate oil AST. These occurrences are rare, as the Facility’s primary fuel is natural gas. The fuel

forwarding skid is surrounded by a concrete secondary containment curb. The containment area is

equipped with a valve which, absent any other connection when opened, drains to the surrounding

gravel. The valve is normally kept in the closed position.

4.2.4 Combustion Turbine Lubrication Systems and False Start Tanks

Spills from the combustion turbine lubrication systems would be contained within the main oily

water collection sump. A failure in the turbine lubrication systems would result in an automatic

shutdown of the turbine. The capacity of the main oily water collection sump is adequate to

contain the majority of the oil from any of the turbine lubrication systems. Some oil would also be

retained in the gravel ballast surfacing of the yard area, and in oily water collection system catch

basins. The capacity of the main oily water collection sump is not likely to be exceeded, because

oil is pumped from the sump to the diked secondary containment area for the distillate oil AST.

Spills during transfer of oil from the false start tanks would be contained within concrete vaults, the

gravel surfacing of the yard, or the main oily water collection sump. The capacity of the concrete

vaults and the capacity of the sump are all adequate to contain the entire volume of any false start

tank. Drip pans and spill equipment are readily available for spill containment during these

transfer operations.

4.2.5 Gas Compressor Lubrication System

A spill from the gas compressors or lube cube would likely accumulate in the adjacent gravel

ballast and be cleaned up upon discovery. A larger spill could migrate to the oily water collection

system. The surface slope would direct spilled oil to a catch basin, from where the spilled oil would

drain to the oily water sump and then be pumped to the diked secondary containment area.

4.2.6 Overfill Prevention

The distillate oil AST and false start tanks at Units 1 & 2 are equipped with direct reading level

gauges and high level alarms set at 90 percent of the rated capacity. Liquid levels in the false start

tanks at Units 3 & 4 are measured using a dipstick. Liquid levels are inspected weekly with a

dipstick on all false start tanks.

The distillate oil storage tank is filled by fuel delivery trucks. Facility personnel are present during

the filling operations to monitor the product level in tank. Secondary containment in the event of

overfill is described earlier in this section.

4.3 Inspections and Record Keeping (Part 112.7 (e))

Inspections of the distillate oil AST, diked secondary containment area, electrical equipment and

turbine lubrication and fueling systems are performed regularly. Inspection procedures, any

required physical testing of oil-containing equipment and record keeping requirements for oil-

containing equipment and stored oil are described in the following subsections.

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



4.3.1 Distillate Oil Storage Tank and Containment Area

The oil storage tank shell, aboveground piping and valves shall be inspected regularly. Personnel

shall inspect the tank for signs of deterioration, leaks or other conditions which may cause a spill

or accumulation of oil inside the diked secondary containment area. The general condition of

flange joints, expansion joints, valves, pipe supports and metal surfaces shall be assessed.

The diked containment area is inspected frequently, typically weekly. More frequent inspections of

the area are conducted to check for excessive water accumulation during extended periods of

heavy rainfall.

4.3.2 Electrical Equipment

Oil-filled electrical equipment at the Facility is visually inspected regularly by Facility personnel for

overall condition to include leaks, damage or other conditions that could potentially contribute to a

release. Equipment to be inspected includes the following:

■ All Transformers

■ All Circuit Breakers

Areas to be inspected include the sides and bottoms (if accessible) of electrical equipment, and

any bushings or plugs on the equipment. These areas are observed to see if oil is present, and oil

levels are checked using the sight glass and level gauges in the equipment. Mountings, supports,

brackets and bases for oil-filled equipment will be inspected for any damage, deterioration,

corrosion or other evidence of potential failure. Any damage or deterioration of the mounting

system will be reported to the Maintenance Supervisor for the Facility, and repaired or replaced as

necessary.

Visual inspection of the oil-filled electrical equipment is the only means of inspection performed on

this type of equipment. The equipment is non-pressurized, and other means of testing of the

physical integrity of electrical equipment housings are not industry practice. It is our opinion that

visual inspection of electrical equipment is adequate to evaluate their respective condition.

Any other maintenance and inspection activities will be documented using a PSE Facility Inspection

Form (PSE Form 1185) or an equivalent form developed by the Facility. Copies of the completed

inspection form are maintained for a period of five years in Appendix C of this SPCC Plan.

4.3.3 Turbine Lubrication Systems, Fueling Systems, Gas Compressors

The turbine lubrication and fueling systems, and the gas compressors are visually inspected on a

routine basis, typically weekly, by Facility personnel for leaks and oil levels. Areas to be inspected

are piping, piping connections, bearing housings, shaft seals, gasket joints in oil-filled equipment,

lubricating oil pressure vessels and any other oil-filled equipment connected to the systems.

Mountings, supports, brackets and bases for oil-filled equipment will be inspected for any damage,

deterioration, corrosion or other evidence of potential failure. Oil is also periodically changed from

the system, and the system is observed for leaks and spills during and after change-outs. Copies

of completed inspection forms are maintained in site files.

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



Any damage or deterioration of the system, including the mounting system, is reported to the

Maintenance Supervisor for the Facility, and repaired or replaced as necessary.

Underground piping for distributing distillate oil is located between the distillate oil AST, fuel

loading/unloading pad and Units 1 through 4. The approximate locations of this piping are shown

on Figure 2. Buried piping installed or replaced on or after August 2002 must have wrapping and

coating as well as cathodic protection. Piping for Units 1 and 2 was installed prior to 2002.

Cathodic protection was added to the piping in 2007. If this buried piping is uncovered, the buried

piping will be inspected for damage or deterioration. If damage or deterioration is observed,

additional examination will be undertaken to identify the extent of any damage or deterioration.

Damaged or deteriorated piping will be removed and replaced as appropriate. Records of

inspection, repair, replacement and/or testing will be maintained in site files.

Piping for Units 3 & 4 was installed in 2001. The piping is double walled pipe and has a leak

detection system that is checked frequently, typically weekly and tested every 6 months per the

manufacturers’ instructions. In our opinion, the double walled pipe with leak detection system

meets the intent of coated, cathodically protected pipe.

4.3.4 False Start Tanks

The concrete vaults that house the false start tanks for Units 1 & 2 are inspected periodically,

typically any time the vaults are accessed for maintenance or for emptying the false start tanks.

Items to be inspected include the general integrity of the visible portions of the tanks and concrete

vaults. The vaults are also checked for signs of an oil spill. These inspections are recorded on a

PSE Inspection Form. Units 3 & 4 false start drain tanks are double-walled fiberglass with a leak

detection system. The leak detection system is tested every six months per manufacture

recommendations and documented on the PSE inspection form.

4.3.5 Inspection of Discharged Stormwater

Stormwater from oil storage and handling areas at the Facility is collected by the oily water

collection system and pumped to the diked secondary containment area for the distillate oil AST.

Stormwater collected in the diked secondary containment area is inspected regularly for oil or

sheens before being discharged. If there are no signs of oil or sheens observed, this observation is

recorded on a PSE Facility Inspection Form (PSE Form 1185) or an equivalent form developed by

the Facility. If oil or sheens are observed, these sheens will be cleaned up using procedures

described in PSE Standard 0150.3100. After the water is free of sheen or oil it will be discharged

out of the diked containment area. Cleanup activities will be recorded on a PSE Inspection Form

(PSE Form 1185) or an equivalent form developed by the Facility.

Other maintenance and inspection activities will be documented using the PSE Facility Inspection

Form (PSE Form 1185) or an equivalent form developed by the Facility. Copies of the completed

inspection forms shall be maintained for a period of five years in site files.

4.4 Brittle Fracture Evaluation Requirements (Part 112.7 (i))

The distillate oil storage tank at the Facility is a field-constructed aboveground container, and as

such, is subject to brittle fracture evaluation requirements. This evaluation is performed as part of

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



the API 653 inspection of the distillate oil storage tank. The API 653 inspection was last performed

in August 2007. All remaining electrical devices and oil containers used at the Facility are

commercially made in a factory environment and are not subject to evaluation for failure by brittle

fracture. Should any electrical device or oil container appear to be developing fractures or cracking

in its metal case, the device or container will be removed from service. API inspections will be

performed based on the schedule identified in the most recent inspection report.

4.5 Security (Part 112.7 (g))

Inspections are performed by operators at the Facility on a random basis between 06:00 AM to

02:30 PM. Measures taken to prevent trespassing, vandalism, and sabotage include, but are not

limited to, the following:

■ Security fences with barbed wire extensions surrounding the perimeter of the Facility.

■ Doors and windows on buildings are secured at all times.

■ Exterior building and yard lights.

■ “Danger” and “No Trespassing” signs.

■ Intrusion alarm system in buildings.

■ Security camera system at the Facility that monitors gates and interior buildings.

experiences, recent spill events or failures and new preventive control and cleanup measures. The

individual responsible for training shall maintain a copy of the training roster in Appendix C of this

Plan. A sample training roster is included in Appendix B.

5.2 Oil Loading and Handling Procedures (Part 112.7 (a)(3)(iii), Part 112.7(h) and Part

112.8(d))

It is stressed to all personnel that an essential part of oil spill prevention is being alert for signs of

leaks and the prevention of spills during their daily activities. This is accomplished by being

observant when personnel are at the Facility, and by performing regular inspections at the Facility.

These inspection procedures, as required by 40 CFR Part 112.8(d)(4) are described in detail in

Section 4.3. Leaks or spills shall be immediately reported in accordance with Section 1.1 and

Section 6.1.2 of this document, and appropriate response activities shall be started immediately.

5.2.1 Transferring Distillate Oil at Fuel Unloading Pad

Fuel is delivered to the distillate oil storage tank with tanker trucks. A concrete-paved fuel

unloading pad is located south of the diked secondary containment area for fuel delivery. The

unloading pad is graded to central drains, which are pumped to the containment area. A drip

bucket is available at the fuel unloading pad to collect spillage that may occur while connecting or

disconnecting hoses from a tanker.

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



A qualified PSE employee will be present during all tanker truck fueling operations. Drip pans and

absorbents will be on hand during fueling and maintenance activities that involve the transfer of

petroleum products. A spill kit is located near the fuel loading/unloading pad.

5.2.2 Transferring Fuel or Oil – Small Quantities

Transfer of fuel or oil is performed by pumping from or into 55-gallon drums. Drums will be

mounted on spill pallets during transfer operations and secured to the spill pallet or transfer

vehicle as appropriate.

During oil or fuel pumping or transferring operations, drip pans and absorbents must be used to

catch drips or leaks. Personnel shall not leave transfer operations unattended.

5.2.3 Handling Oil-Filled Equipment

6.0 SPILL EVENT: CONTAINMENT AND COUNTERMEASURE PROCEDURES

(PART 112.7 (A)(3)(III) AND (IV))

6.1 General Procedures

Containment and countermeasure actions must start immediately after a spill is discovered. The

primary objective will be to contain spilled oil within the immediate area, and prevent its entry into

the Facility drainage system, the public drainage system or the navigable waters of the United

States. This objective shall be met while maintaining proper health and safety procedures.

General procedures to be followed in any and all cases of an oil spill event are described below.

6.1.1 Identification

Upon discovery of a spill during normal operations or as a result of an alarm at the Facility, the

discoverer shall immediately evaluate whether the spill can be approached safely. From a safe

distance, the discoverer shall evaluate the nature and extent of the spill. If possible and safe, the

discoverer shall identify the source and stop the leak. The discoverer then shall initiate immediate

action to contain the spill, and shall make the notifications described in Section 1.1 or the following

section.

6.1.2 Notification and Emergency Contacts

13085 Ball Road



■ PSE Environmental & Program Services shall contact the appropriate State and Federal

agencies as required. The EPS or spill contractor shall be the only representatives of PSE to

contact State and Federal agencies.

6.1.3 Containment

Personnel from the Facility and the spill contractor (if utilized) will use the following general actions

and PSE guidelines for spill control and containment. Facility personnel will use available spill kits

and equipment stored at the Facility. The spill contractor will bring material and equipment as

required to control and/or contain the spill. This equipment may be limited to hand tools and

sorbent media for a spill that may be reasonably anticipated to occur at this Facility. The spill

contractor or subcontractor has other equipment available, up to and including heavy earthmoving

equipment and watercraft capable of recovering spills from waterways in the event of a

catastrophic failure at the Facility.

■ Confine and prevent further spread of the oil (see PSE Standard 0150.3100).

■ Plug nearby storm drains. Block catch basins by putting plastic sheeting under the catch basin

grates and/or by building diversion dikes of absorbent or other material around the catch

basin.

■ Reduce or eliminate the spread of oil by using drain system isolation valves, dikes, channels,

dams, and/or oil absorbent material (see PSE Standard 0150.3100).

■ Stop the oil leak at its source, for example:

Plug the leak with available material;

If a transformer or other piece of equipment is leaking, it may be possible to turn it onits side or upside down to raise the point that is leaking; or

If a rupture or leak cannot be stopped, use bins, pans, barrels, or containers to catchthe oil if possible.

After the spill has been contained, the spill contractor will coordinate cleanup of the material.

6.2 Cleanup and PCB Special Handling Procedures (Part 112.7 (a)(3)(v))

A representative of the spill contractor shall direct the collection of spilled oil, removal of

contaminated soils and other materials. Spilled oil and contaminated media will be transported to

PSE’s South King County Waste Management Facility as generally described in Standard

0150.3100. Disposal of spilled oil and contaminated materials shall be arranged at the South

King County Waste Management Facility, which is a licensed moderate-risk waste facility (King

County Permit Number PR0064285, RCRA ID WAD000006569). Recovered oil, contaminated soil

or contaminated water will be disposed of by recycling, thermal treatment and/or land-filling at

permitted facilities as appropriate.

This facility does not own any equipment containing PCBs.

Puget Sound Energy

6.3 Assessing the Spill Event

In accordance with Section 6.1.2, the spill contractor shall be notified of the spill event. The spill

contractor shall perform any environmental sampling necessary to evaluate areas affected by the

spilled oil, assess and quantify the potential environmental damage, and collect necessary

information that may include soil and water samples to confirm that the extent of spilled material

has been identified and spilled material has been cleaned up.

6.4 Report Requirements

6.4.1 Form

Report oil spills using the “Oil Spill Report” form (PSE Form 1184).

6.4.2 Notification

A copy of the Oil Spill Report, including the test results and a map identifying the spill location,

must be forwarded to EPS in a timely fashion. EPS will manage the required State and Federal spill

notification and follow-up requirements.

Puget Sound Energy

7.0 CONFORMANCE WITH STATE REQUIREMENTS (PART 112.7 (J))

Oil spills in the State of Washington are regulated under the Revised Code of Washington (RCW),

Chapters 90.48 and 90.56, which are enforced by the Washington State Department of Ecology

(Ecology). RCW 90.48.080 prohibits the discharge of polluting materials into the waters of the

State, and RCW 90.56 describes the spill prevention and cleanup process. There is no de minimus

release amount defined in these regulations. Rather, any amount of oil that degrades the waters

the State constitutes a release. Ecology typically considers the creation of a visible sheen on the

water as a spill.

The goal of this Plan is consistent with the objective of RCW 90.48.080, and the items presented in

this Plan, including prevention planning, Facility design and operation, spill response, and spill

notification requirements are in general conformance with the requirements of RCW 90.56. The

conformance of the Facility with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 112 as discussed in Section 3.2

of this document addresses the requirements of RCW 90.56.

Puget Sound Energy


13085 Ball Road



8.0 PLAN AMENDMENT BY THE REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR (PART 112.4)

No spill events reportable under the Clean Water Act or Washington State law have occurred at the

Facility in the past five years.

In the event of a spill resulting in discharges of more than 1,000 gallons of oil in a single discharge,

or more than 42 gallons of oil in each of two discharges occurring in a single year, the following

information must be submitted to the EPA Regional Administrator and Ecology for their review

within 60 days from the time of such a release or releases(s):

1. Name of the Facility;

2. Your name;

3. Location of the Facility;

4. Maximum storage or handling capacity of the Facility and normal daily throughput;

5. Corrective action and countermeasures you have taken, including a description of equipment

repairs and replacements;

6. An adequate description of the Facility, including maps, flow diagrams, and topographical

maps, as necessary;

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

failure occurred;

8. Additional preventive measures you have taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of

recurrence; and

9. Such other information as the Regional Administrator and Ecology may reasonably require

pertinent to the Plan or discharge.

PSE shall amend this SPCC Plan, if required to do so after review of the information submitted

above by the EPA Regional Administrator or Ecology. The Regional Administrator may require PSE

to amend the Plan if he finds that it does not meet the requirements of this part or that

amendment is necessary to prevent and contain discharges from your Facility.

Definitions for this standard

Term Definition

Oil Oil of any kind or any form including petroleum, fuel oil,sludge, and oil refuse. Oil contained in transformers,capacitors, and other equipment sometimes contains PCBs.

PCBs Polychlorinated biphenyls are a group of synthetic organicchemicals that can be toxic and are found in some dielectricfluids.

Spill Report Form(Form 1184)

A carbon-copy form that properly documents a spill. Theform is used by the person who discovers the spill todocument and report the spill event and what was done inresponse.

Spill Waste Waste generated as a result of an oil spill including collectedliquids, soil, rags, used Personal Protective Equipment, andother debris generated as a result of a spill cleanup.

Responding to an Oil Spill

Oil spills can occur during transfer of oil, (e.g., when draining or filling equipment orcontainers), or from equipment that has failed or been damaged recently or in the past. Mostspills are discovered when a crew is dispatched by System Operations to respond to a poweroutage. In the event of an oil spill, Puget Sound Energy’s policy is to respond promptly andthoroughly. Spill containment and/or cleanup must be initiated immediately.

The following basic steps apply for responding to all spills. Refer to the Spill Responsesection of this standard for the complete procedure.

Step Action

1 If a spill or release occurs, think safety. Take actions to protect yourself and othersfrom exposure to the spill or release.

2 Keep the public and unprotected personnel away from the spill area.

3 Locate and stop the source and flow of the spill or leak, if you are qualified and itis safe to do so.

4 Secure the area.

5 Decide who should respond and notify appropriate parties.

Spill Response

This section covers the procedure for responding to and cleaning up oil spills.

For spills, the sooner containment/cleanup is initiated, the more effective it will be.

Step Action

1 If a spill or release occurs, THINK SAFETY. Take actions to protect yourself andothers from exposure to the spill or release.� Drive cautiously when approaching and leaving a spill site.� Avoid driving through the spill area. Oil spread by traffic expands the area of

contamination.� If there is a fire, maintain a safe distance from it.� Ensure that all the equipment involved is de-energized and contact the fire

department immediately.� Assume all oil contains PCBs until proven otherwise.� Use the proper PPE.

− Protect yourself from skin contact.

− Prevent contamination of clothing.

2 Keep the public and unprotected personnel away from the spill area.


Table 5

Discovery and FirstSteps




Spill Response, continued

Step Action

3 Locate and stop the source and flow of the spill or leak, if you are qualified and itis safe to do so.� If leaking cannot be stopped, place a container (bucket, plastic bag, absorbent

pads, kitty litter, or whatever is available) beneath the leak to prevent continuedmigration of oil away from the spill area.

� Divert the oil flow to prevent the spill from entering nearby water bodies or floordrains. Give first priority to spills that could or have endanger(ed) water sources.

� If safe to do so, plug holes, reposition the equipment and/or shut valves.� Use whatever materials and equipment are available to confine the spill and

prevent further contamination of the area. Do not wait for a spill containment kitto arrive.

4 Secure the area.� Use barricades or warning tape to form an adequate buffer around and beyond

any visible traces of oil. A spill in a vault does not require barricading or tape.� If cleanup is delayed, the area shall remain barricaded. Cover the spill with

plastic sheeting.� Limit the number of people entering the spill area.

5 Decide who should respond and notify appropriate parties.

Line/Wire Crews may either clean up the spill themselves according to this standard or mayrequest assistance by calling the Environmental Services 24-Hour Spill Pager (see Table 2).

This decision is made by the Crew Foreman, Supervisor, or System Manager in accordancewith the guidelines in Table 6.

Oil Spill Notification

A spill or other unintentional release into the environment may give rise to a variety ofreporting, response, and record-keeping requirements, generally depending upon what wasspilled, the amount spilled, and the time, location, and effects of the spill. Every spill shouldbe reported to Environmental Services to facilitate compliance with the applicablerequirements.

Be prepared to report the following information:

� Date and time of the spill.

� Spill location.

� Spill source.

� Cause and circumstances of the spill.

� Existing or potential hazards, if any.

� Information on equipment involved including serial number, manufacturer, Company IDnumber, and type of equipment.

� Identity of the material spilled and information on PCB content (if shown on thenameplate).

� Total volume of oil contained in the equipment (if shown on the nameplate).

� Approximate quantity (e.g., estimated volume) of spill.

� Contact name and phone or radio number.

� Personal injuries or casualties, if any.

� Names of people exposed to oil or smoke.

� Corrective actions being taken and an approximate timetable to control, contain, and cleanup the spill.

� Is the Line/Wire Crew equipped and trained to contain the spill?

Internal Reportingof Oil Spills

Table 7



Page 13 of 23


Environmental Services will make all necessary notifications to appropriate regulatoryagencies when appropriate. It is imperative that the Environmental Services 24-Hour SpillPager (see Table 2) be called promptly to report every spill, so that Environmental Servicescan assess the situation, determine whether external spill reporting is required, and make theappropriate notifications within the time frames specified.

Spill Characterization

This section describes the procedure for characterizing the spilled material and the extent ofcontamination. A diagram should be drawn on the back of the white page of the Spill ReportForm (Form 1184) to show the center and extent of contamination for each visible area ofcontamination.

Environmental Services will coordinate the response and cleanup for spills containing PCBs.Each piece of electrical equipment can contain different amounts of PCBs. Spills of oil with50 ppm or greater of PCBs are subject to specific cleanup requirements.

Often the manufacturer will state the concentration of PCBs contained in the dielectric fluidon the equipment nameplate. Additionally a search by serial number (from themanufacturer’s nameplate) can be used to query PSE’s SAP database to determine if sampledata already exists for the equipment.

NOTE: Analyses for PCB concentrations that were conducted prior to 1986, yellow stickers(less than 50 ppm of PCBs), and blue stickers (non-PCB) are no longer honored. Analysesmust be performed to properly document the concentrations of PCBs in the oil.

If a spill occurs during business hours, contact Environmental Services to determine theprobable PCB concentration. If the spill occurs after normal business hours, the Dispatcher orSystem Operations should contact the Environmental Services 24-Hour Spill Pager (seeTable 2).

The spilled oil and contaminated area may need to be sampled to characterize the extent ofthe contamination. Such sampling, as well as post-cleanup sampling, is specifically requiredfor spills of oil with 50 ppm or greater of PCBs. Contact the Environmental Services24-Hour Spill Pager (see Table 2) or Environmental Services to coordinate any sampling thatmay be necessary.

Spill Cleanup

A spill should be cleaned up either by the Line/Wire Crew that discovered it or byEnvironmental Services. When called to respond, Environmental Services uses one or moreapproved spill response contractors.

If there is a fire, the fire department will respond under the direction of an IncidentCommander who will act as PSE’s point of contact. Any fire involving PCBs will typicallyrequire the fire department’s Hazardous Materials Unit.

Crews should only respond themselves if the spill is small, it is not suspected to containPCBs, and the crew has the necessary resources to respond properly.

� Facilities with hazardous materials have spill kits with absorbent pads, booms, and othermaterials for containing and cleaning up spills. Spill response materials are availablethrough Stores. Follow instructions from your Supervisor or Environmental Coordinator.

� Small spills of liquids (less than about 5 gallons) should be collected with absorbentbooms or pads to prevent discharge to drains, waterways, or other receptors.

� Prevent storm-water pollution by preventing petroleum-contaminated soils from cominginto contact with rainwater. Covering the spill area with plastic sheeting will help reducecontamination migrating off-site.

� If petroleum-contaminated soil is to be excavated, it should be collected preferably inclosed, appropriately sized, leak-tight, labeled containers.

� All spilled material and contamination must be cleaned up in accordance with appropriatecleanup standards. Specific cleanup standards apply for spills of oil with 50 ppm or greaterof PCBs, which should be handled by Environmental Services. Consult EnvironmentalServices for any questions you may have.

Cleanup Guidelines for Specific Circumstances

Line/Wire Crews should request assistance from Environmental Services for spills fromequipment that is known to contain PCBs. Contact the Environmental Services 24-Hour SpillPager (see Table 2). If a PCB transformer develops a leak that runs off or is about to run offthe surface of the transformer, the leak must be contained, cleanup must be initiated no laterthan 48 hours from finding the leak, and the transformer must be repaired or replaced.

For spills from equipment that is not known to contain PCBs:

Step Action

1 Clean up all visible signs of oil.

2 Free liquid should be placed in closed drums.

3 Place solid material (soils, plant materials, et cetera) in drums.

4 Clean or remove all oil-contaminated vegetation. Wash and rinse all hard surfaceswith a suitable solvent or cleaner.


When Line/WireCrews Clean Up theSpill

DistributionTransformer Spill



Page 15 of 23


Step Action

1 Make sure the area is well ventilated before you start to clean.

2 Recover liquid with a granular absorbent. Sweep it into piles with a broom, andthen pick up with a shovel and dispose of material in a closed drum.

3 Wash and rinse hard surface twice, picking up the liquid with absorbent after eachstep.

If the equipment is known to contain PCBs, contact the Environmental Services 24-HourSpill Pager (see Table 2).

� Vault spills are usually contained within the vault and may not pose an immediateenvironmental risk. Contact Environmental Services for assistance and guidance.

� Assess the quantity of oil present. Is it just a sheen on the water or is there a significantamount of oil?

Step Action

1 Place absorbent pads on the surface.

2 Move the pads around and allow time for the oil to be absorbed.

3 Remove the pads and place in a plastic bag.

Step Action

1 Environmental Services should be called to respond to large spills that exceed theavailable resources of the crew.

Contact the Environmental Services 24-Hour Spill Pager (see Table 2).

2 Typically, a vactor truck is requested to pump out the vault. See the Vactor TruckWaste Accumulation, Transport, and Disposal section of this standard.

Contact the Environmental Services 24-Hour Spill Pager (see Table 2) forassistance in scheduling a vactor truck.

Spills from capacitors at substations may contain PCBs. If the capacitor is not labeled asNon-PCB, assume it contains PCBs. Therefore, Environmental Services should be contactedto respond. Contact the Environmental Services 24-Hour Spill Pager (see Table 2).

For small spills from capacitors not at substations:

Step Action

1 Disconnect the capacitor.

2 Allow five minutes to lapse before short circuiting from terminal to terminal witheither aluminum or copper tie wire, #14 or larger.

NOTE: Each capacitor must be shorted individually. Capacitors cannot be strungtogether when applying shorts.

3 Inspect for any leakage of fluid or oil.

4 Place capacitors that are cracked, ruptured, or leaking in heavy-duty plastic bags.

5 Place the bagged capacitor in a drum with one pail of absorbent granules percapacitor in the bottom and clamp the lid securely.

6 Remove contaminated gravel, sand, and soil and place it in a drum.

Spills from system oil from natural gas pipelines may contain PCBs. Contact EnvironmentalServices immediately if there is a spill from system oil. See Standard 0150.3275,“Collecting, Managing, and Disposing of Liquids from Natural Gas Equipment,” for moreinformation on system oil.

Contact the Environmental Services 24-Hour Spill Pager (see Table 2) immediately.

Decontamination of Equipment

All contaminated equipment, including hand tools, power tools, earthmoving equipment,vehicles, et cetera, that become contaminated with oil containing PCBs in known or assumedconcentrations of 1 ppm or greater must be decontaminated before leaving the spill site.

� Vehicles, electrical equipment, and tools can be cleaned by wiping the surface two timeswith clean rags and a detergent solution.

� Prevent or collect drips of used solvents and detergents.

� Do not dump used solvents and detergents on the ground. Collect the waste in drums.

� When finished, PPE should be removed before leaving the decontamination area andcollected properly in containers. Remove boot covers first, then overalls, and then gloveslast.

� Respirators should be cleaned using the manufacturer’s instructions.

� Hands and other exposed skin should be washed thoroughly before eating or drinking.

� For equipment that comes in contact with mineral oil with 50 ppm or more, PCBs must bedecontaminated and then quarantined until chemical analysis can prove that same areas (onthe equipment) are free of PCBs. Call Environmental Services for assistance.

Vactor Truck Waste Accumulation, Transport, and Disposal

Vactor trucks are available for removing accumulated liquids at spill sites and for cleaningstorm drains, vaults, and catch basins. Wastes picked up by vactor trucks are typically takento PSE’s South King Waste Management Facility (WMF), where the mixture of oil, water,and solids is discharged at the wastewater treatment facility. If the recovered spill materialcontains a large volume of solids, it may be transported to a PSE-approved commercialdisposal facility instead of to the WMF. Contact Environmental Services for guidance.

A vactor truck must not be used for any equipment that contains PCBs of 50 ppm or greater,unless under the direction of Environmental Services.

� For spills known to contain PCBs, contact the Environmental Services 24-Hour SpillPager for assistance.

� For spills where the PCB content of the spill is initially unknown, the vactor truck operatormust verify with the Foreman the PCB content of the oil that was released prior tobeginning work. Contact the Environmental Services 24-Hour Spill Pager (see Table 2) forassistance.

Step Action

1 The vactor truck operator must obtain a copy of the draft Spill Report Form (Form 1184) from the Crew Foreman to document the load.

2 The vactor truck operator contacts the WMF by phone and receives approval todischarge loads. The vactor truck operator must ensure that the PCB concentrationof the source oil is known prior to disposing of any vactor truck load.


Vactor TruckGuidelines

Vactor TruckTransportProcedure



Page 21 of 23


Step Action

3 The vactor truck operator transports the load to the WMF where it is discharged incompliance with discharge requirements set forth in the WMF Operations andMaintenance Manual.

4 The vactor truck operator logs the required information in the vactor truck logbook.

5 The vactor truck operator provides a copy of the Spill Report Form (Form 1184) toWMF personnel.

6 The WMF personnel process the discharged load in accordance with the WMFOperations and Maintenance Manual.

If the spill volume is small, materials collected from the spill should be placed in drums andtransported to the nearest Service Center. Refer to Standard 0150.3125, “Temporary Storageof PCB Items,” for guidance.

Record Keeping

This section sets forth the records required when a cleanup of an oil spill has been performed.

If there is an injury or illness, the Supervisor shall complete an Industrial Injury & IllnessReport (Form 3892) and submit it to the Safety Department.

The Crew Foreman should prepare a draft Spill Report Form (Form 1184) and submit it tothe Supervisor, who finalizes the report and submits it to Environmental Services. IfEnvironmental Services responds to the spill, they will complete their own Spill ReportForm (Form 1184).

� The white copy of the spill report is submitted to Environmental Services at the SouthKing Waste Management Facility.

� The canary copy is included with any samples sent to a laboratory.

� The pink copy is maintained at the satellite Service Center in the on-site files.

� The goldenrod copy should stay with the spill waste (taken by the vactor truck driver orkept with the containers of spill waste).

Spill reports need to include the information on the status of corrective actions and any plansfor follow-up should be described in detail.

Record Keeping, continued

For cleanups of spills of oil with 50 ppm or greater of PCBs, records of decontaminationmust be maintained for five years, including:

� Identification of the source of the spill (e.g., type of equipment).

� Estimated or actual date and time of the spill occurrence.

� The date and time cleanup was completed or terminated. If cleanup was delayed byemergency or adverse weather, include the nature and duration of the delay.

� A brief description of the spill location and the nature of the materials contaminated.

� Precleanup sampling data used to establish the spill boundaries, if required, because ofinsufficient visible traces and a brief description of the sampling methodology used toestablish the spill boundaries.

� A brief description of the solid surfaces cleaned.

� Approximate depth of soil excavation and the amount of soil removed.

� A signed certification statement stating that the cleanup requirements have been met andthat the information contained in the record is true.

� For spills in nonrestricted access areas, post cleanup verification sampling data, and if nototherwise apparent from the documentation, a brief description of the samplingmethodology and analytical techniques used.

� Analytical results of samples obtained from oil-filled equipment are entered into the SAPdatabase. A hard copy is maintained in the Environmental Services files at the WasteManagement Facility.

� Analytical results of samples obtained to characterize soil conditions in the spill area arefiled with the Spill Report Form (Form 1184).

� Analytical results of samples obtained to characterize waste are filed with other wasterecords (profiles, manifests, et cetera).

Record keeping to track the equipment includes:

� For equipment that is less than 50 ppm of PCBs − the analytical report from SAPshowing the equipment’s PCB concentration and a shipping record.

� For PCB capacitors and equipment that is 50 ppm or greater of PCBs − the analyticalreport from SAP showing the equipment’s PCB concentration and a WMF ShippingDocument (Form 1754), which acts as an internal shipping manifest.

� Record keeping to track spill waste shipments including bills of lading.

� Hazardous/TSCA waste manifests

� Certificates of disposal for shipments of PCB wastes
