Conclusions The AD, CS, and PPD SPCC Implementation Programs covers the handling of oil in 55-gallon containers, emergency generators, transformers, and other OFOE; monthly inspections of containers and equipment and their associated secondary containment; cleanup of any oil spills observed; training of oil handlers; and maintenance of inspection and training records. The SPCC Implementation Program is managed well and operates efficiently. All oil handlers interviewed had the required oil handler training and were conducting the required monthly inspections. Oil handlers interviewed seemed familiar with the requirements of FESHM 8031 and the inspection responsibilities. If necessary, contracts are in place with outside contractors and vendors to clean up oil spills that cannot be controlled by Fire Department. Fermilab’s There is one finding, one notable practice, and several recommendations generated from this tripartite assessment. Findings See Findings Section at end Notable Practice The NOvA experiment has been utilizing tertiary containment for leaking detector modules by placing buckets underneath the modules to catch the slow drips, which makes cleanup in the secondary containment much easier. Recommendations Specific information should be included in the SPCC Inventory List when identifying spill sources and their locations. To minimize oil inventory and reduce the risk of oil leaks and spills, departments should consider switching to 30-gallon drums instead of 55-gallon drums, if possible When temporary emergency generators are brought on site, they should be inspected monthly and the inspection findings should be recorded and filed. Oil handlers should have a trained back-up to conduct their monthly inspections in the event that they are away from the site. The spill response procedures within the ESH Handbook should be strengthened and updated copies of the handbook should be provided to all personnel. Guidance should be added to the ESH page specifically for Scientists/Users as well (e.g. updating the ‘Onsite Response to included on that page).
