SPILL PREVENTION CONTROL AND COUNTERMEASURE

PLAN
.01 INTRODUCTION
.1.1 GENERAL APPLICABILITY
This Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan for OTB has been prepared and
implemented as required by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) regulations
contained in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112 (40 CFR 112). A copy of this
document is located in Attachment A at the end of the Integrated Contingency Plan. A non-
transportation related facility such as this facility is subject to SPCC regulations if: the total
above ground storage capacity exceeds 1,320 gallons (the storage capacity contained in
equipment and containers 55 gallons or larger must be counted when determining if the threshold
is exceeded) or the underground storage capacity exceeds 42,000 gallons; and if, due to its
location, the facility could reasonably be expected to discharge oil into or upon the navigable
waters of the United States.
.1.2 SITE SPECIFIC APPLICABILITY
Oiltanking Beaumont, stores and handles oil, as defined in the Federal Clean Water Act and 40
CFR 112 - Oil Pollution Prevention, at the liquid petroleum storage and transfer station located in
Beaumont, Texas. Oil discharges from the facility have the potential to enter navigable waters of
the United States.
Oil is defined in the Clean Water Act as oil of any kind in any form, including, but not limited to,
petroleum fuel oil, sludge, oil refuse, and oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil.
According to the Clean Water Act a spill is defined as a discharge of oil which violates
applicable water quality standards, or causes a film or sheen upon the surface of the water, or
causes a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the waters of the United States. The total oil
storage and handling capacity for this facility has been summarized in Figure A.1 “Potential
Spills – Hazardous Identification in Annex A. The Certification of the Applicability of the
Substantial Harm Criteria, summarized on Page 5 of the Facility Response Plan (FRP) and
outlined in 40 CFR 112.20(f)(1) applies to this facility, therefore a FRP has been prepared for
this facility.
Revised: 1/15/2010
.1.2.1 Purpose
This SPCC Plan has been prepared to include both federal and state requirements to
minimize the potential for a discharge and to minimize effects on human health or the
environment in case of an accidental discharge. This plan addresses all relevant spill
prevention, control, and countermeasures necessary to effectively prevent, control, and
respond to a discharge at the facility. Specifically this plan has been developed to:
communicate pollution prevention requirements to OTB employees and contractors;
enable OTB employees to report a spill and provide all the necessary information; assist
OTB employees in contacting appropriate agencies; make site specific information
quickly and easily available; provide guidance on spill response resources and the
procedures that should be followed in responding to a spill; and describe the various
safety and shutdown devices, tank capacities, secondary containment, site drainage,
inspection and record keeping systems utilized in an effort to prevent or counteract the
inadvertent release of oil.
The required monthly inspections are the first line of defense for the prevention of oil and
chemical discharges from storage facilities. Maintenance of valves, piping, flanges, metal
surface of tanks, etc. must be performed when signs of potential failure or excessive
corrosion are noted.
.1.2.2 Conformance with Federal Requirements
The SPCC Plan for OTB has been developed in accordance with the general requirements
in § 112.7 and § 112.8 applicable to the facility.
.1.2.3 Conformance with State Requirements
The facility transfers oil over water and is located in a coastal region identified in 31 TAC
19.2; therefore, this SPCC Plan has been developed in accordance with the general
requirements in Texas General Land Office 31 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) 19 (Oil
Spill Prevention and Response).

.01 GENERAL FACILITY INFORMATION
OTB is located at 6275 Highway 347, Beaumont, Texas (see Figure 1: Area Map in Section 1:
Emergency Response Action Plan of the Facility Response Plan). OTB temporarily stores bulk and
refined hydrocarbons in 86 bulk storage containers. These containers include a 500 gallon gasoline and a
500 gallon diesel tank for fueling OTB vehicles, three 500 gallon mineral oil tank which cycles hot oil to
tanks, and a pressure relief tank located at Station 2. All material except diesel, gasoline, and mineral oil
are received via tanker ships and barges from the Neches River. The facility has three berths whose
centerlines are approximately 350 feet apart. The docks are equipped with eight and sixteen inch transfer
arms. The docks have personnel shelters and storage buildings. Overwater transfers are conducted to and
from the facility. The attached Site Diagram (Figure A.1.2) located in Section 1: Emergency Response
Action Plan of the Facility Response Plan shows the layout of the OTB facility (112.7(a)(3)(iii)). Diesel,
gasoline, and mineral oil are received via tanker truck.
The facility is located on the west side of the Neches River in an area characterized by environmental
and economic sensitivities. The Neches River drains into the Gulf of Mexico through Sabine Pass, which
functions as one of the main transportation arteries for the upper coast of Texas.
Figure A.1: Potential Spills – Hazard Identification on Page A –4 in Annex A includes tables that
summarize the on-site oil storage and handling capacities, as well as information on storage tanks, their
construction design standards, capacities, type of material stored, locations, and secondary containment
capacities for bulk storage containers.

.1.2 RESPONSIBLE PERSONS
In accordance with 40 CFR 112.7(f)(2), Aaron Strain, the Safety Coordinator is the Designated
Person accountable for oil spill prevention at the site. The Terminal Safety Coordinator reports
directly to facility management.
Revised: 1/15/2010
.02 Potential Spill Sources
In accordance with 40 CFR 112.7(b), this SPCC Plan identifies the potential spill sources for oils which
are summarized in the tables found in Figure A.1 in Annex A, as well as the following information:
 Identification of reasonable potential of equipment failure (such as loading and unloading

equipment, tank overflow, rupture, or leakage etc.); and
 Prediction of the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil that could be discharged
from the facility as a result of each type of major equipment failure.
.2.1 TANK FARM BULK STORAGE CONTAINERS
Bulk storage tanks are located in two tank farms identified on the Site Diagram (Figure A.1.2)
located in Annex A and the FRP. Containment and/or diversionary structures, and/or equipment
to prevent discharged oil from reaching navigable water are provided at this facility. Earthen
dikes constructed to contain 100 percent of the tank capacity plus twelve inches of freeboard for
precipitation provide secondary containment. In the unlikely event a release is not isolated in the
secondary containment or drainage systems prior to reaching the Neches River, the rate of flow
would be proportional to the respective size of the tank, as well as the type of failure, and
inversely proportional to the distance between the tank and Neches River.
Figure A.1: Potential Spills – Hazard Identification in Annex A includes a table that provides an
inventory of the on-site aboveground storage tanks and summarizes available construction and
operations data for these tanks.
Leaks, ruptures, spills, and overfilling of tanks may cause a release of oil at this facility.
.2.2 GASOLINE, DIESEL, AND MINERAL OIL CONTAINERS
There are two 500 gallon bulk storage containers containing diesel and gasoline located adjacent
to the maintenance building. These containers have a secondary containment structure that needs
to be expanded to hold 500 gallons and freeboard for at least eight inches of rain. In the unlikely
event a release is not isolated in the secondary containment or drainage systems prior to reaching
the Neches River, the rate of flow would be proportional to the respective size of the tank, as
well as the type of failure, and inversely proportional to the distance between the tank and
Neches River.
There are several portable 500 gallon bulk storage containers containing diesel and gasoline
located throughout the facility that need to have a secondary containment structure that hold 500
gallons and freeboard at least eight inches of rain.
There are three 500 gallon mineral oil storage containers used to cycle hot oil from the storage
container to tanks and to heat the contents of tanks. These need to have a secondary containment
structure that hold 500 gallons and freeboard at least eight inches of rain.
Revised: 1/15/2010
In the unlikely event a release is not isolated in the secondary containment or drainage systems
prior to reaching the Neches River, the rate of flow would be proportional to the respective size
of the tank, as well as the type of failure, and inversely proportional to the distance between the
tank and Neches River.
Figure A.1: Potential Spills – Hazard Identification in Annex includes a table that provides an
inventory of the on-site aboveground storage tanks and summarizes available construction and
operations data for these tanks.
Leaks, ruptures, spills, and overfilling of tanks may cause a release of oil at this facility.
.2.3 ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMERS
A number of oil-containing electrical transformers are utilized throughout the facility as

identified on the Site Diagram (Figure A.1.2). In the unlikely event of a release, in most cases,
the oil would flow to the ground located below the transformer. The rate of flow of the oil would
be proportional to the respective size of the container, as well as the type of failure, and inversely
proportional to the distance between the container and the ship channel.
Figure A.1: Potential Spills – Hazard Identification in Annex A includes a table providing an
inventory of electrical transformers (named by proximity to other OTB areas) on-site and
summarizes available construction and operations data for the related oil-containing reservoirs.
Leaks, ruptures, spills, lightning strikes, and overfilling of transformers may cause a release of
oil.
.2.4 TANK FARM LOADING AND UNLOADING OPERATIONS
The probability of a discharge occurring in either tank farm is minimal since transfers are made
via pipeline. Tanks are constructed in accordance with applicable engineering standards in 1929,
facilities are inspected frequently for evidence of corrosion and leaks, and OTB personnel are
trained in procedures to prevent accidental discharge and to prevent pollution. In the unlikely
event a release is not isolated in the secondary containment or drainage systems prior to reaching
the Neches River, the rate of flow would be proportional to the respective size of the tank, as
well as the type of failure, and inversely proportional to the distance between the tank and
Neches River.
The location of pipes, manifolds, etc. used to transfer oil during loading and unloading operations
are identified on the Site Diagram (Figure A.1.2) located in the Emergency Response Action
Plan.
Leaks, ruptures, and spills from oil transfer apparatuses may cause a release of oil at this facility.
.2.5 OVER WATER LOADING AND UNLOADING OPERATIONS
A release to the environment is most likely to occur during an over water transfer; however, oil
transfer operations are conducted according to established procedures, and secondary
Revised: 1/15/2010
containment is provided for all fittings, connections and hoses. In the unlikely event a release is
not isolated in the secondary containment or drainage systems prior to reaching the Neches
River, the rate of flow would be proportional to the respective size of the tank, as well as the type
of failure, and inversely proportional to the distance between the tank and Neches River.
Over water loading areas are identified on Figure A.1.2 in the Emergency Action Plan. Transfer
connection leaks, transfer hose or piping failure, overfilling a loading vessel, rupture of a loading
vessel, and leaking loading/unloading appurtenances may cause a release of oil.
.2.6 Drum Storage Area
The drum storage area stores varies materials used on site in 55-gal drums. This area has a
secondary containment structure that needs to be expanded to hold 55 gallons and freeboard for
at least eight inches of rain. In the unlikely event a release is not isolated in the secondary
containment or drainage systems prior to reaching the Neches River, the rate of flow would be
proportional to the respective size of the tank, as well as the type of failure, and inversely
proportional to the distance between the tank and Neches River.
Revised: 1/15/2010
.03 SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTROL
Specific discharge prevention and containment procedure requirements applicable to onshore facilities as
outlined in 40 CFR 112.8 are addressed in this Section, including design criteria, operating procedures,
and secondary containment/diversion systems.
There are no underground, partially buried, or bunkered storage containers and none are planned.
.3.1 FACILITY DRAINAGE
In the event of a spill, the natural drainage of product would be into the Neches River which
could then flow south into Sabine Lake.
Storm water drainage piping from each diked area is equipped with a shutoff valve that remains
closed under normal operating conditions. Drainage of diked areas is accomplished under
responsible supervision. Bypass valves should be resealed after rainwater has been drained from
the area. Diked areas may be emptied using manually operated bypass valves, pumps, or ejectors
after inspecting the accumulation of rainwater to ensure that its presence will not cause a
discharge as described in 112.8(b). Periodic inspections of containment areas for accumulated
storm water are discussed in Section 6.0.
.3.2 TANK FARM BULK STORAGE TANKS
.3.2.1 Spill Prevention
Tank Construction
The bulk storage tanks located in the two tank farms were constructed in the 1920’s.
Tanks are adequately protected from corrosion by use of cathodic protection rectifiers. If
corrosion is detected, and it is determined that it may reduce a tank’s integrity, the
affected tank is taken out of service and is repaired or replaced.
Bulk storage tanks are designed and constructed in accordance with accepted industry
practices. A secondary containment structure consisting of earthen levees surrounds each
tank in the two tank farms. Figure A.1 Potential Spills – Hazard Identification in Annex A
contains required information for secondary containment capacities of bulk storage tanks
at OTB. Construction design, as applicable to each bulk storage tank utilized at the
facility, is identified in the tables found in Figure A.1: Potential Spills – Hazard
Identification in Annex A.
Revised: 1/15/2010
Tank/Container Testing and Inspections
All bulk oil storage tanks on-site are subjected to periodic testing and inspections as
discussed in Section 6.0 of this Plan.
Tank/Equipment Design
Each bulk storage tank has been designed and constructed in accordance with good
engineering practices and is provided with one of the following to avoid discharges:
 High level alarm with an audible or visual signal at a constantly attended

operation station;
 High level liquid pump cutoff device set to stop flow at a predetermined
container content level;
 Direct audible or code signal communication between the container gauge

and the pumping station; or
 A fast response system such as digital computers, telepulse, or direct

vision gauges for determining the liquid level of each tank. (If the direct vision
alternative is used, a person will monitor gauges every two hours during the
loading/unloading operation.)
Liquid level sensing devices must be tested regularly to ensure proper operation.
Product Compatibility
No tank is used for the storage of any oil until the compatibility of the oil and tank
materials of construction have been evaluated. Tanks in oil services are compatible with
the oil that is being utilized.
Rainwater
The cost of redesigning facility drainage systems to flow into ponds, lagoons, or
catchment basins designed to retain oil and return it to the facility far outweighs the
expected return from the unlikely event of a major discharge occurring at the OTB
facility. Therefore, in accordance with 40 CFR § 112.7(d)(2) OTB has a written
commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously control
and remove any quantity of oil discharged that may be harmful. OTB will conduct both
periodic integrity testing for bulk storage containers and periodic integrity and leak
testing of valves and piping to remain in compliance with 40 CFR § 112.8(c)(6).
Visible Discharge
Revised: 1/15/2010
Promptly correct visible discharges which result in a loss of oil from the container,
including but not limited to seams, gaskets, piping, pumps, valves, rivets, and bolts. You
must promptly remove any accumulation of oil in diked areas.
.3.2.2 Spill Control
Figure A.1: Potential Spills – Hazard Identification in Annex A summarizes the on-site
bulk oil storage areas and bulk storage container secondary containment capacities
including the following:
 Identifications of the largest contained tank;
 Storage capacity of the largest tank;
 Type of worst case failure accounted for;
 Type of containment system;
 Total containment volume available;
 Inches of freeboard available for accumulation of precipitation; and
 Direction and rate of flow in case of an uncontained release.
The facility’s bulk oil storage tanks are provided with secondary containment, as defined
in 40 CFR 112.8(c)(2). Secondary containment capacities utilized at the facility, as
summarized in Figure A.1: Potential Spills - Hazard Identification, are sufficient to
contain the entire capacity of the largest contained tank and allow for sufficient freeboard
to contain precipitation.
Tanks are gauged monthly or prior to each oil movement.
.3.3 GASOLINE, DIESEL, AND MINERAL OIL CONTAINERS
Tank Construction
Gasoline, diesel, and mineral oil storage tanks and drums are designed and constructed in
accordance with accepted industry practices. The gasoline and diesel tanks will be
equipped with a secondary containment structure capable of holding approximately 500
gallons and eight inches of freeboard for rain. Construction design, as applicable to each
bulk storage tank utilized at the facility, is identified in the tables found in Figure A.1:

.04 COUNTERMEASURE SPILL RESPONSE
This section addresses countermeasures, also known as spill response, at the facility.
The information presented here is necessary to respond to a release, discharge, or spill and is arranged so
response actions are not delayed. Collectively, the actions described in this plan represent those which
will be implemented to stop the source of the spill, notify the appropriate personnel, and initiate
procedures to prevent or minimize the discharge of oil. The terms release, environment, and others used
in this section of the plan are defined in the applicable federal and state regulations, copies of which are
found in Attachments A and B at the end of the Integrated Contingency Plan.
The facility is operated 24 hours per day. Operations and maintenance personnel frequently make rounds
throughout the plant. The discovery of a release would generally occur during the rounds. Once detected,
the personnel will initiate response procedures. Cleanup would be initiated to ensure the removal of all
visible oil.
.4.1 INITIAL RESPONSE ACTIONS
Step 1. Notify supervisor of the spill, release, or other emergency.
Step 2. Identify the oil product and equipment or tank involved in the spill. Utilize product
knowledge, such as the material safety data sheets (MSDS), and evaluate the situation
for personnel safety hazards.
Step 3. Assess safety procedures/precautions.
Step 4. Implement Health and Safety Assessment (Figure C.3) located in Annex C.
Step 5. Contact the facility personnel responsible for coordinating spill responses and/or notify
the corporate office. (See the Emergency Notification Phone List on page 7 of Annex
B and the Spill Management – Oil tanking Beaumont Phone List (Figure B.2) on page
6 of Annex B or page 12 of the FRP).
Step 6. Determine the source of spill (discharge) utilizing appropriate personal protective
equipment. If necessary, walk out all process lines, hoses, manifold, piping, and tanks
involved in the operation. Identify the leaking appurtenance(s) (e.g., hose, flange,
valve, tank, etc.).
Step 7. Minimize the potential discharge by isolating the source of the leak. If necessary,
utilize any of the following steps to mitigate the leak:
 Empty transfer lines;
 Transfer product from a leaking tank to a sound tank;
 Isolate transfer lines by valve and/or blind flange;

Revised: 1/15/2010
 Isolate the ongoing operation in accordance with standard operating

procedures to minimize both potential hazards to personnel and damage to
equipment;
 Eliminate ignition sources (i.e., heaters, open flames, hot work); or
 Other appropriate actions.
Step 8. Initiate oil containment activities (e.g., earthen dikes, vacuum trucks, absorbents,
booms, etc.), as appropriate, to minimize the discharge of oil.
Step 9. Designated personnel shall notify agency response officials and spill response
contractors in accordance with the facility Integrated Contingency Plan.
Step 10. Contact any off-site entities that could be impacted by the discharge (spill).
Step 11. Initiate product recovery operations and discharge cleanup actions [112.7(a)(3)(iv)].
.4.2 CONTINUED RESPONSE ACTIONS
Any materials spilled will most likely be contained within a secondary containment area or the
soil in the vicinity of the discharge. If the spill reaches flowing water, storm sewers, etc., the first
employee at the scene of the discharge, release, or spill location will initiate notification
procedures immediately and will simultaneously initiate measures to stop or contain the spill or
discharge. In the case of a spill or discharge beyond the capabilities of onsite personnel,
environmental contractor/s should be called to respond to the spill or discharge.
In the event a spill occurs and the material is contained within the secondary containment area,
the containment structure will immediately be inspected to assure that its walls are intact.
In the event that the secondary containment wall is leaking, a temporary berm will be constructed
using available equipment and supplies.
If a potential exposure to hazardous materials exists for responding personnel, Figure C.3 Health
and Safety Assessment in Annex C will be completed and implemented. Upon completion of the
Health and Safety Assessment the appropriate personal protective equipment will be selected.
In some cases, if the discharge, release, or spill is minor, absorbent material may be used to
cleanup the discharge, release, or spill. If used, the absorbent material should be spread onto the
contaminated area and left in place, for at least one hour, or as long as necessary to ensure that all
spilled material has been absorbed. The contaminated absorbent material and any contaminated
soil will be cleaned up and disposed of at an approved disposal facility.
If the amount of material spilled is too large to be cleaned up using on-hand absorbent material,
dirt may be used as a substitute or the spilled material can be pumped into an appropriate storage
tank or container, and reused or disposed of at an approved disposal facility, if applicable.
Revised: 1/15/2010
All surfaces exposed to the spilled material will be appropriately decontaminated. • It is the
responsibility of the Incident Commander or his designated alternate to assure that all exposed
surfaces have been decontaminated and the waste material is disposed of in accordance with
federal, and state regulations [112.7(a)(3)(v)].
Specific MSDS for oils and hazardous materials managed at the facility are maintained in the
Terminal Manager’s office. Figure 2.1.1: Effective Daily Recovery Rate for Response
Equipment List is located on page 6 of the FRP.
Disposal of Recovered Materials
Any waste generated as a result of spill clean-up efforts will be characterized and disposed of in
accordance with the appropriate state and federal regulations. Off-site disposal capacity is
available for used boom or absorbents, contaminated soils or other waste materials [112,7(a)(3)
(v)]. The facility will make an effort to recycle the recovered material to the extent possible if it
proves to be an option in a particular discharge situation.
.4.3 SPECIFIC RESPONSE ACTIONS

.05 INSPECTIONS, TESTS, AND RECORDS
Written inspection and test procedures developed for the facility under 0TB business practices are in
accordance with acceptable industry standards and comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 112.7(e),
112.8(c)(6), and 112.8(d).
.5.1 VISUAL INSPECTIONS
.5.1.1 Bulk Storage Tank Inspections
Bulk storage tanks, their foundations, and supports are visually inspected for leaks and
signs of deterioration, or discharges, at least quarterly and on an annual basis. Each above
ground container is tested for integrity on a regular schedule, and whenever material
repairs are made. Visual inspections are combined with another testing technique such as
hydrostatic testing, radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, acoustic emission testing, or
another system of non-destructive shell testing. Comparison records are kept on file at
OTB. Diked areas are visually inspected on a daily basis to determine if there is an
accumulation of oil. Leaks are promptly reported and repaired. In addition, authorized
facility personnel regularly test all liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper
operations. Quarterly Facility Inspection Report forms and Annual Tank Inspection
Report forms and checklists are located in Appendix I of this SPCC Plan.
In addition, per requirements of 40 CFR 112.7(i), if a field-constructed aboveground

storage tank undergoes a repair, alteration, reconstruction, or a change in service that
might affect the risk of a discharge or failure due to brittle fracture or other catastrophe or
has discharged oil or failed due to brittle fracture failure or other catastrophe, facility
personnel will evaluate the tank for risk of discharge or failure due to brittle fracture or
other catastrophe, and appropriate corrective action will be taken as necessary. At a
minimum, such evaluations will be conducted by a technically qualified individual
familiar with fracture mechanics and will include visual inspections for flaws and/or
defects in the materials of tank construction focusing on, but not limited to, those areas
where stresses concentrate. All such evaluations will be documented in the operating
records.
Tanks are gauged monthly or prior to each oil movement.
.5.1.2 Gasoline, Diesel, and Mineral Oil Loading/Unloading Operations
Tank truck unloading is used as the mechanism to receive gasoline, diesel, and mineral
oil. Tank trucks can hold up to 8000 gallons per load. The Tank Truck Unloading
procedures following this section are followed to prevent spill events from occurring
during unloading operations.
 Tank truck unloading operations will meet the requirements as regulated

by the Department of Transportation.
Revised: 1/15/2010
 Warning signs will be provided in the loading area to prevent the truck
from moving before complete loading or unloading occurs.
Sample Sign Only
WARNING
ALL VEHICLES
Product Transfer Lines and ground cables

must be disconnected and stowed prior to
departure.
 The truck, containers, loading equipment, and all related materials

handling equipment will be examined for leaks, faults, or other possible hazards
before loading or unloading begins. If any problem is detected, corrective
measures will be taken immediately.
 The “General Contractor’s Loading/Unloading Checklist” on page 40 will

be used during loading/unloading operations. The General Contractors
Loading/Unloading Checklist immediately follows this section.
The cost of redesigning facility drainage areas in loading/unloading areas (where the tank
truck unloads) to flow into ponds, lagoons, or catchment basins far outweighs the
expected return from the unlikely event of a major discharge from a tank truck occurring
at the OTB facility. Therefore, in accordance with 40 CFR § 112.7(d)(2) OTB has a
written commitment of manpower, equipment, and materials required to expeditiously
control and remove any quantity of oil discharged that may be harmful. OTB will conduct
both periodic integrity testing for bulk storage containers and periodic integrity and leak
testing of valves and piping to remain in compliance with 40 CFR § 112.7(d)(2).
.5.1.3 Transfer Operations and Piping Inspections
Qualified facility personnel conduct periodic visual inspections of aboveground valves,

piping, and appurtenances for presence of leaks and signs of deterioration, corrosion, or
malfunction. These inspections are conducted to assess the general condition of items
such as flange joints, expansion joints, valve glands and bodies, catch pans, pipeline
supports, locking valves, and metal surfaces. Leaks and/or equipment malfunctions are
promptly reported, taken out of service, and repaired. Results of such inspections are
recorded in the facility maintenance files maintained separately to this Plan.
Flowlines which extend from the tank areas are continuously monitored for corrosion and
or leaks. Spotter aircraft are utilized to inspect the pipeline route for dead vegetation
and/or flowline leakage every two months. All manifolds have check valves on individual
flowlines.
Revised: 1/15/2010
.5.2 INTEGRITY TESTING
Standard Operating Procedures implemented at the facility provide for integrity testing of the
bulk oil storage tanks on a regular basis or whenever a material repair is done on a tank. The
frequency and type of testing takes into account size and design of the tank being tested. Formal
visual external tank inspections are conducted in addition to at least one other method of non-
destructive shell testing. A qualified tank inspector inspects and tests tanks at the frequency
specified in applicable industry standards. Testing techniques include, but are not limited to,
hydrostatic, radiographic, ultrasonic, acoustic emissions, or another system of non-destructive
shell testing as may be required by the applicable industry standard.
All of the bulk oil storage tanks have been constructed in accordance with API Standard 650;
therefore, 0TB has established appropriate testing and inspection procedures for these tanks in
accordance with API Standard 653. Records documenting the actual frequency and type of
integrity testing conducted are maintained on-site.
Integrity and leak testing of all non-transportation related buried piping is conducted at the time
of installation, modification, construction, relocation, or placement.
In order to ensure operating integrity, all loading arms and dock lines are pressure tested in
accordance with industry practices Test results are recorded and maintained for three years.
.5.3 ACCUMULATED STORM WATER REMOVAL
The following procedures will be followed prior to the release of rain water from the oil
materials storage areas into the drainage ditches:
 Before storm water is released to the drainage ditch, a visual inspection will be performed
to ensure that there is no hydrocarbon sheen or discolorization on the surface of the water.
If water contamination is suspected, the inspector will contact the OTB Primary or
Alternate Incident Commander/Qualified Individual for authorization to discharge. The
procedures for supervising drainage of rainwater on Page 41 of this Plan will be used
during drainage operations.
 A record of inspection and drainage events will be maintained for the storage drums using
the Accumulated Storm Water Inspection Form in Appendix I of this SPCC Plan.
.5.4 RECORDS
All inspection forms and test result records are signed by the appropriate supervisor or inspector
and maintained at the facility for a period of three years. The facility maintains comparison
records of all tests performed under its customary business practices.

the closed position when in non-operating or non-standby status in accordance with 40 CFR
112.7(g)(2).
.1.3 PUMPS
The starter control on each oil pump is locked in the “off” position and is accessible only to
authorized personnel when the pump is in a non-operating or non-standby status in accordance
with 40 CFR 112.7(g)(3).
.1.4 LOADING/UNLOADING CONNECTIONS
Loading and unloading connections of oil pipelines and facility piping that is not in service or
when in standby service for an extended time are securely capped or blank-flanged, as
appropriate, in accordance with 40 CFR 112.7(g)(4).
.1.5 FACILITY LIGHTING
Facility lighting is sufficient to detect oil spills during hours of darkness and to prevent spills of
oil through acts of vandalism in accordance with 40 CFR 112.7(g)(5).
.1.6 PIPING NOT IN SERVICE
It is standard procedure to cap or blind flange all inactive lines at the facility. This is done to
isolate the idle lines from service thereby preventing any potential leakage.
.1.7 CORROSION PROTECTION FOR FLOWLINES
All flowlines are externally coated or painted and cathodically protected. All are visually
inspected for corrosion. If a flowline is repaired, or if significant corrosion has been detected,
that line is tested to ensure integrity.

.02 PERSONNEL TRAINING
In accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 112.7(f)(1), the facility provides proper instruction at
regular intervals of oil-handling personnel in the operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent the
discharges of oil and in discharge procedure protocols. In addition, applicable pollution control laws,
rules, and regulations, general facility operations, and the contents of this SPCC Plan are addressed in
the instructional format. Personnel are trained in Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
(HAZWOPER) in accordance with the requirements in 29 CFR 1910.120 to the level necessary to safely
carryout job responsibilities.
The facility schedules and conducts discharge prevention briefings of the oil-handling personnel on an
annual basis to assure adequate understanding of the SPCC Plan in accordance with 40 CFR 112.7(f)(3).
The intent of these sessions is to keep personnel informed of their obligation to prevent pollution
incidents and to improve spill control and response techniques. The briefings are designed to highlight
the following:
 Operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent discharges;
 Discharge procedure protocol;
 Applicable pollution control laws, rules, and regulations;
 General facility operations;
 Contents of the facility SPCC Plan;
 Highlight and describe known discharges described in § 112.1(b);
 Failures, malfunctioning components, and any recently developed precautionary

measures;
 An overview of the requirements contained in the OSHA Hazard Communication

Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200;
 Location and availability of the SPCC Plan and emergency response procedures;
 Hazardous chemicals normally used by OTB;
 Physical and health effects of the listed hazardous chemicals;
 Methods and observation techniques to determine the presence or release of hazardous

chemicals in the work area;
 Procedures to reduce or prevent exposure to these hazardous chemicals through use of

work practices and personal protective equipment;
Revised: 1/15/2010
 Emergency procedures to follow if exposed to hazardous chemicals;
 Explanation of the labels and how to interpret Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) to
obtain appropriate hazard information;
 Location of MSDS files and hazardous chemical lists;
 The OTB’s program for hazardous communication, MSDS, labeling, and work
authorization;
 Procedures to prevent oil spills and leaks; and
 Procedures to control released materials.
These briefings are documented on Figure E.3: Personnel Response Training Log on page 9 of Annex E.
OTB personnel regularly participate in spill response drills for this facility or other production
operations similar to the Beaumont Terminal.

.03 SPILL HISTORY
DATE OF DISCHARGE: August 01, 2002
LIST OF DISCHARGE CAUSES: The gate valve on the dock apparently leaked
enough to re-fill the loading arm prior to
reconnecting to the vessel scheduled for loading.
This caused the loading arm to be out of balance
and fall when the loading arm is unpinned. The
flange hits the dock and the 1 inch nipple and ball
valve breaks off the flange releasing VGO on the
dock, the river, and the barge.
