INTRODUCTION On January- 10, 1974, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 3 (EPA), under authority of the Federal Water Pollution Control l Act, published regulations for prevention of pollution of the I waters of the United States by oil e.manating from certain L non-transportation.related on-shore and off-shcro facilities. 4 yon November 20, 1985, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), under authority of the Louisiana Environmental Quality Act, published regulations for prevention of pollution by spills of all pollutants.

40 CFR 112 and Chapter 5 of the Louisiana Water Pollution Control Regulations mandate the preparation, implementation, and maintenance of a Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan by non-transportation related facilities which might discharge oil or other pollutants into the waters of the state.

The purpose of this plan is to provide operational guidelines and  :

to assure that storage areas and facility drainage are adequately engineered to prevent pollutants from reaching navigable waters -

in the event of equipment failure or human error. The plan also provides guidance for reporting, control, and cleanup of spills which might occur.

CAUTION Regulations regarding reporting requirements are subject to change with respect to Reportable Quantities, agencies L requiring notification, and the time limits within which  :

notification must be made. To assure compliance with all i applicable reporting requirements, ALL SPILLS, EVEN IF  ;

CONTAINED, MUST BE REPORTED TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES GROUP IMMEDIATELY.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 112 and Chapter 5 of the Louisiana Water Pollution Control Regulations Gulf States Utilities Company has i prepared the following SPCC Plan to substantiate compliance with I the regulatory guidelines applicable at River Bend Station. I NOTE This plan shall be superseded by Section 11 of the River Bend Station Radiation Protection Plan (RBNP-024) in the {

event of any spill which occurs within any Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) or which involves any radioactive or )

potentially radioactive materials.

  • Tanks;
  • Drums;
  • Cans;
  • Bulk containers such as roll-off boxes and dumpsters; l
  • Areas where any of the above are stored.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION River Bend Station is located on approximately 3,800 acres of property, ownad by Gulf States Utilities Company, south of St.

Francisville in West Feliciana Parish. A generating capacity of 934 megawatts (NET) electrical is provided by a General Electric BWR-S reactor with Mark III containment.

River Bend Station received a full-power license from the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission on November 20, 1983 and achieved commercial operation on June 16, 1986.

All water discharges at River Bend Station are authorized by NPDES Permit No. LA0042731 and Louisiana Water Discharge Permit WP-0409. All surface drainage for operational and storage areas at River Bend Station flows by way of East Creek, Outfall 006, j and West Creek, Outfall 007, to Grants Bayou and ultimately to the Mississippi River. Previously monitored Outfalls 003 and 004 also discharge to East Creek. Outfalls 001 and 002, which are cooling tower blowdown and process wastewater respectively, are j discharged directly to the Mississippi River by way of pipeline. j The location of River Bend Station is shown in Figure I.

l SPILL PREVENTION General The goal of spill prevention is to avoid the discharge of pollutants to the environment. Spill prevention is achieved l through a combination of design features and operational '

practices.

Design, or engineered, features include secondary containment for storage facilities, high level alarms for tanks, and corrosion protection for piping and tanks. These features are designed to prevent equipment failure, to minimize the possibility of human error, and to contain any releases which occur.

Operational practices include periodic inspection and testing of eqt'ipment and storage facilities; strict adherence to operating l

Secondary Trucks Failure Containment River Bend Station storage and unloading facilities with vo3umes and type of containment are shown in Table II.

The probability of a spill due to tank rupture is remote.

Periodic inspection and maintenance provide assurance of tank integrity. Tank overfill is prevented through the use of automatic tank gauges, high level alarms, and visual observation during filling operations. Further protection against failure or overfill of above ground tanks is achieved with secondary containment of sufficient capacity to retain the contents of the single largest tank with adequate freeboard for precipitation.

Drum storage areas are curbed to provide containment for the contents of at least ten percent of the storage volume. Drum storage areas are also roofed to protect drums and to minimize accumulation of rain water within the containments.

All drain valves for storage area secondary containments are labeled to prevent opening until the quality of accumulated rainwater is determined to be in compliance with all applicable standards and limitations.

NOTE CAUTION SHOULD BE USED IN TEMPORARY PLACEMENT OF DRUMS REMOVED FROM STORAGE. WHERE POSSIBLE, AVOID PLACING DRUMS IN AREAS WHICH DRAIN DIRECTLY TO A STORM DRAIN, SEWER, OR OTHER SITE DRAINAGE CONVEYANCE.

Further measures to minimize the potential occurrence and j magnitude of spills are included in RBNP-040, which places i restrictions on the issue and use of chemicals.

Hazardous Waste At River Bend Station hazardous waste is stored for periods of less than ninety (90) days in the hazardous waste storage building. In addition to this plan emergencies involving hazardous waste are addressed in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Emergency / Contingency Plan.

Responsibility Overall responsibility for spill prevention at River Bend Station rests with the Senior Vice President, River Bend Nuclear Group. Every employee at River Bend Station is required to be familiar with this plan and to implement appropriate spill prevention measures with respect to their assigned duties and areas of responsibility. The Supervisor, l Environmental Services is responsible for maintaining the SPCC l Plan and spill response equipment. The Supervisor, Environmental Services is also responsible for coordination of spill reporting and response.

Training All employees are instructed in general spill prevention during the General Employee Training (GET-I) program with annual requalification.

Inspection Bulk storage containments are inspected weekly and inspection records maintained by the Environmental Services Group. Both permanent and temporary chemical storage areas are inspected at least quarterly by the Industrial Safety and Health Representative. Copies of these reports are submitted to the Environmental Services Group and maintained in the Environmental Services of fice. Tanks are inspected periodically and records maintained by the Quality Control Group.

Facility Drainage All storage areas drain to Grants Bayou via East or West Creek. The locations and drainage paths for storage areas are shown in Figure III. Storage area containment drain valves are maintained in the closed position and accumulated rainwater is released only af ter verification that it is not contaminated. Truck unloading containment drain valves are left open, except during unloading operations, to prevent accumulation of stormwater.

Security The main industrial plant area is fully fenced with all gates locked and/or guarded twenty-four (24) hours per day.

Site security is further implemented by patrols, both inside and outside of the fenced area. All storage areas and associated equipment are located within the fenced area with access limited to plant personnel. Adequate lighting of storage areas is provided to enable twenty-four (24) hour per day surveillance.

SPILL RESPONSE General The first priority of this plan is prevention. Should l a spill occur, containment and cleanup must be implemented. Each i spill presents unique circumstances, and good judgment, training and past experience must be used to determine the best response for each incident.

Notification When a spill is discovered, immediately notify the Shift Supervisor.

NOTE IF THE SOURCE OF THE SPILL OR LEAK CAN BE SAFELY AND QUICKLY STOPPED OR CONTAINED, INITIAL STEPS TO CONTAIN THE SPILL SHOULD BE TAKEN PRIOR TO NOTIFICATION OF THE SHIFT SUPERVISOR. IN NO CASE SHOULD NOTIFICATION OF THE SHIFT SUPERVISOR BE DELAYED BEYOND TEN MINUTES.

SAFETY MUST ALUAYS COME FIRST When reporting a spill to the Shift Supervisor, provide as much information as possible including:

  • Name of person making the notification;
  • Telephone number at which person making notification can be reached;
  • Location of spill;
  • Type and amount of material spilled;
  • Effects, if any, of the spill on plant safety / operation;
  • Description of injuries, if any, to personnel;
  • Description of ony steps taken to stop or contain leak or spill;
  • Information about potential or actual movement of the spilled material towards or into any navigable waters, including East Creek or West Creek, and;
  • Any other information which might be useful in planning response efforts including any known or suspected hazards to response personnel.

When notified of a spill, the Shift Supervisor or his designee will gather as much of the immediately available information in the Spill Report Record form (Attachment I) as possible.

The Shift Supervisor or his designee will immediately notify one of the Environmental Services personnel listed in the Spill Call Out List and verbally provide the available information. The (13)

Spill Call-Out List will be prepared, and updated as required, by Environmental Services and supplied to the Assistant Plant Manger, Operations /Radwaste, for distribution to appropriate Operations personnel. The Spill call-Out List will also contain brief instructions for spill reporting.

NOTE THE INFORMATION LISTED IN THE SPILL REPORT RECORD FORM IS THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO DETERMINE AGENCY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. IT IS ALSO THE INFORMATION WHICH MUST BE SUPPLIED TO THE AGENCIES.

Regulations regarding reporting requirements are subject to change with respect to Reportable Quantities, agencies requiring notification, and the time limits within which notification must be made. To assure compliance with all applicable reporting requirements, ALL SPILLS, even if contained, must be reported to the Environmental Services Group immediately.

l I When the Supervisor - Environmental Services or the duty Environmental Analyst is notified of the spill, the Environmental Services Group will make necessary notifications to federal, state and local agencies. Notifications to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will be arranged by the Operations Shif t Supervisor. Nuclear Licensing will provide assistance to the Shif t Supervisor in making notifications to the NRC.

l At the earliest possible moment the Environmental Services Group will also provide information about the spill to the Nuclear Site Communications Coordinator and to the Risk Management Group.

The Nuclear Site Communications Coordinator will be responsible for all phases of public communication which might be required.

Identification All subsequent response activities must be based on a knowledge of the material spilled and the associated hazards. In most cases identification of the material can be made from the source of the spill.

BE SURE THE LIFE AND HEALTH OF RESPONSE PERSONNEL DEPEND ON AN ACCURATE IDENTIFICATION OF THE MATERIAL AND THE HAZARDS.

Information to help in identifying the material may be available through Safety, Chemistry, the Warehouse, or Environmental Se rvice s.

NOTE EVERY EMPLOYEE AT RIVER BEND STATION SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE MATERI ALS USED AND STORED IN THEIR WORK AREA AND SHOULD BE FAMILI AR WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND NECESSARY S AFETY EQUIPMENT.

[14]

Sa fety Safety of response personnel is of the utmost importance 4 du; ing all containment and cleanup operations. When the identity {

and hazards associated with the spill are known, the appropriate j safety and personal protective equipment must be obtained. All 4 response personnel must be properly equipped for the specific hazards associated with the material spilled. Although speed in 1 responding to a spill is important, safety considerations must j come first. ,

Containment Containment of the spilled material is the next and most crucial step in protecting life and health and in preventing damage to the environment. Containment and cleanup will be accomplished with the use of available personnel on site.

Outside contractors will be called in to assist when needed.

Containment of spilled materials can be accomplished in a number of ways and must be tailored to the type of material and potential routes of migration. In the case of liquid spills construction of earthen berms is often the quickest method for immediate containment. Containment construction can often be done in conjunction with the topography of the area or tied into existing structures, oil spills in water can often be contained through the use of spill or sorbent booms p] aced downstream of the spill.

When deciding on the method of containment, the manner in which the spilled material is to be ultimately removed should be considered and the spill should be contained in an area accessible to response personnel and equipment to the extent possible. Pending weather conditions should be accounted for in the construction of the containment to prevent the material being washed out by rainfall.

The area around the spill should also be isolated through the use of warning tapes or physical barricades to prevent inadvertent or casual traffic.

The location of spill containment and cleanup equipment at River Bend Station is shown in Attachment II. The list of spill equipment is intended to represent the minimum amount of equipment to be available for spill response.

Contingency Thought and preparation should be given to a secondary line of defense in the event of heavy rain which could not be contained or some other failure of the primary containment. Where possible, sites where secondary containment could be achieved should be located and the availability of required equipment and materials determined in advance.

Mitigation In some cases it may be possible to neutralize or otherwise reduce the the hazard associated with the spill. The use of chemical or biological agents normally requires the approval of state and federal agencies. When applicable, Environmental Services will attempt to secure the necessary authorizations.

[15]

Cleanup Spill cleanup consists of removal of the material, contaminated dirt, water, and vegetation. Most contaminated material is regulated as hazardous waste and disposition will be coordinated by the Environmental Services Group.

Cleanup, like containment, must be tailored to the circumstances of the parth ular spill. Liquid spills can often be picked up with pumps or vacuum trucks. Oil spills can sometimes be picked up with an oil skimmer such as the wringer / mop type.

Contaminated dirt and vegetation can often be removed with heavy equipment, but hand work may also be required in confined areas.

Planning of cleanup activities should take into account the disposition of materials to be removed and every effort should be made to minimize the amount of contaminated materials removed.

Site Restoration After removal of the contaminated material it is sometimes necessary to regrade, seed, or otherwise restore the site to a safe operating condition.

REPORTING In most cases written reports of a spill must be made to one or more agencies. At River Bend Station, written reports will
