Segregating an activity that is the most significant source of pollutants from other activities that cause little or no <br /> pollution may lower the cost of enclosure or covering to a reasoneble level. <br /> A method commonly used in large industrial complexes where much of the process equipment is exposed is to <br /> place curbing nround the immediatc boundary ofthe individual processes. The storm drains from these interior <br /> areas discharge to the process wastewater treatment system. <br /> Dischar¢ine stormwater to a grivate arocess wastewater treatment svstem: In general,the City will not allow <br /> discharge of stormwater mto the public sanitary sewer system,unless the site is served by combined storm and <br /> sanitary sewer system. However,some industries may have their own process wastewater treatment system <br /> c,ith final disposal directly to the receiving water. Stormwater from areas of signifieent pollution sources can be <br /> plumbed to the process treatment system as long as the system's treatment capacity is not exceeded. <br /> Dischareine small hiah frequencv storms to a dead-end suma: The feasibility of this BMP would be limited to <br /> those few activities which contribute unusually h�gh concentrations of pollutants and/or pollutants of unusual <br /> concem and would be used only when other options weren't available. Regular pumping of the sump,with <br /> appropriate disposal of the westewater, is required. <br /> Note: Any floor drains necessary in buildings os co�ered areas must discharge to the sanitary or process <br /> wastewater sewers or a dead-end sump. Discharges to the sanitary sewer must meet the City's industrial <br /> Pretreatment Program requirements(see Section 4-3.1). <br /> 4-2.2.9 BMP S1.80 EMERGENCY SPILL CLEANUP PLANS <br /> Owners of facilities engaged in storing,processing,or refining oil and/or oil products are reqaired by Federal <br /> Law to have a Spill Prevention and Control Plan(SPCP). Owners of businesses that produce Dangerous Wastes <br /> are required by State Law to have a spill cleanup plan. These businesses should also refer to R.7 in Section 4-3. <br /> The businesses and public agencies identified in Section 4-1 that are required to have an Emergency Spill <br /> Cleanup Plan shall follow these general guidelines in its preparation. <br /> 1. Tl�e ftrst part of the plan shall contain a description of the facility including the owner's name and <br /> address, the nature of the facility activity, and the general types of chemicals used in the facility. <br /> 2. Thc plan shall contain a site plan showing the location of storage areas for chemicals,the locations of <br /> stortn drains,and the direction of slopes towards those drains,and the location and description of any <br /> devices to stop spills from leaving the site such as positive control valves. <br /> 3. Thc plan shall describe notification procedures to be used in the event of a spill,such as key personnel <br /> and outside agencies. The City of Everett Public Works Department and DOE shall be notified <br /> immediately if the spill may reach surface waters or sanitary or stortn sewers. Also, in!he even!ojan <br /> nccidenta!discharge af oi!or hazardous material in(a x�aters oflhe slate or onJo land with a potentia! <br /> for enlry into state ivaters, dte Nativnal Response Center and the U.S. Caast Guard sha!l be contacled.. <br /> 4. The plan shall provide instructions regarding cleanup procedures. <br /> 5. The owner shall have a designated person with over-all spill response cleanup responsibility. <br /> 6. Key personnel shall be trained in use of the plan. All employees should have basic knowledge of spill <br /> control procedures. <br /> 7. A summary of the plan shall be written and posted at appropriate points in the building, identifying the <br /> spill cleunup coordinators, location of cleanup kits,and phone numbers of regulatory agencies to be <br /> contacted in the event of a spill. <br /> 8. Cleanup of spills shall begin immediately. No emulsifier or dispersant shall be used. <br /> 9. In fueling areas, absorbent should be packaged in small bags for easy use and small drums should be <br /> �vailable for storage of absorbent and/or used absorbent. <br /> / �I <br /> 4-1.-13 ���%� <br />
