MIL-HDBK-1022A
2.13.5.1 Design Requirements. Protection of the natural
waters against pollution from discharge of petroleum is
achieved by complying with federal, state, and local
regulations.
2.13.5.2 Spill Prevention. In general, 40 CFR Part 112
requires the preparation of a Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan for facilities that may discharge
fuel into navigable waters of the United States. Specific
design features are necessary to meet the SPCC objectives at
all facilities. The SPCC plan must demonstrate that the fuel
facility will be designed and constructed in a manner that
will prevent spillage, and should such a spillage occur,
prevent the spill from leaving the property and entering a
waterway. Review API Bull D16 to assist with conformance to
regulations. Refer to 33 CFR Part 154 for small discharge
containment.
2.13.5.3 Leak Detection. Install leak detection on
aboveground tank bottoms, underground storage tanks, and
underground piping. Ensure leak detection meets all the
requirements of 40 CFR 280, 40 CFR 281, 49 CFR 195, and state
and local regulations.
2.13.5.4 Stormwater Discharge. A National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit, 40 CFR Part 122,
may be required for the discharge of stormwater. A review of
Federal, State, and local stormwater regulations is required
prior to design and construction. Discharge of stormwater
includes:
a) Controlled drainage from storage tank areas with
impermeable diked enclosures or drainage systems leading to
impoundments.
b) Drainage from treatment systems.
c) Drainage from facility transfer operations,
pumping, and tank car and tank truck loading/off-loading
areas.
d) Drainage from equipment/vehicle maintenance
areas.
