constructed in 1973. The Contractor is required to submit a lead plan that is site specific,
indicating that the protective measures the Contractor proposes meet the OSHA standard
1926.62 “Lead in Construction Standards”. This site specific plan should address the

NETWORK CONNECTIVITY SPILL CONTROL 01 35 44-1
PROGRAM November 2, 2012
PART 1 – GENERAL
1.1 SPILL PREVENTION
A. In order to minimize the potential for discharge to the environment of oil, petroleum, or
hazardous substances on site, the following requirements shall apply to all projects:
1. All oil, petroleum, or hazardous materials stored or relocated temporarily on site
during the construction process shall be stored in such a manner as to provide
protection from vehicular damage and to provide containment of leaks or spills.
Horizontal diked oil storage tanks, temporary berms or barriers, or similar
methods shall be employed as appropriate at each site.
2. Any on-site filling or dispensing activities shall occur within an area in which a
temporary berm, boom, or similar containment barrier has been placed to prevent
the inadvertent discharge to the environment of harmful quantities of any
products.
3. All oil, petroleum, or hazardous materials stored on site shall be located in such a
manner as to minimize the potential of damage from construction operations or
vehicles, away from drainage ways and environmentally sensitive areas, and in
accordance with all fire and safety codes.
B. Remove immediately from the site any storage, dispensing, or operating equipment that
is leaking oil or hazardous substances or is in anyway unsuitable for the safe storage of
such materials.
1.2 SPILL CONTROL PROCEDURES
All Contractor personnel working at the project site shall be knowledgeable of the potential
health and safety concerns associated with petroleum and other hazardous substances that
could potentially be released at the project site. Following are a list of activities that should
be conducted by the Contractor in the event of an oil/petroleum spill or the release of any
other hazardous substance. In the event of a large quantity spill that would require cleanup
procedures that are beyond the means of the Contractor, an emergency spill cleanup
contractor shall be hired by the Contractor. In the event the Contractor has the personnel
necessary to cleanup the spill, the following procedures shall be followed:
A. Personnel discovering/responding to a spill shall:
1. Identify and locate the source of the spill. If unsafe conditions exist, then leave
the area, inform nearby personnel, notify the site supervisor, and initiate spill
reporting (Section 1. 3).
2. Limit the discharge of product, if safely possible, by: (1) diverting discharge to a
containment area; (2) creating temporary dikes with soils or other available
materials; and (3) utilizing sorbent materials. If secondary containment is
present, verify that valves and drains are closed prior to diverting the product to
this area.
NETWORK CONNECTIVITY SPILL CONTROL 01 35 44-2
PROGRAM November 2, 2012
3. The individual discovering a spill shall initiate containment procedures to prevent
material from reaching a potential migratory route, through implementation of
the following actions, or any other methods necessary. Methods employed shall
not compromise worker safety.
a. Stop the spill at once (if possible).
b. Extinguish sources of ignition (e.g., flames, sparks, hot surfaces, cigarettes,
etc.).
c. Clear personnel from the spill location and rope off the area.
d. Utilize available spill control equipment in an effort to ensure that fires,
explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread.
e. Use sorbent materials to control the spill at the source.
f. Construct a temporary containment dike of sorbent materials, cinder
blocks, bricks, or other suitable materials to help contain the spill.
g. Attempt to identify the character, exact source, amount, and area of the
released materials. Identification of the spilled material should be made as
soon as possible so that the appropriate cleanup procedure can be
identified.
h. Assess possible hazards to human health or the environment as a result of
the release, fire, or explosion.
i. If spill response measures involve the temporary cessation of any
operations, the Contractor shall monitor the affected equipment for: (1)
leaks; (2) pressure buildup; (3) gas generation; or (4) ruptures in valves,
pipes, or other equipment.
B. Spill Cleanup:
1. Following containment of the spill, the following spill cleanup procedures shall
be initiated.
a. Use proper waste containers.
b. Remove bulk liquid by using vacuum, pump, sorbents, or shovel and place
material in properly labeled waste container. Be sure not to collect
incompatible or reactive substances in the same container.
c. Cleanup materials not reclaimed on-site shall be disposed of in accordance
with all applicable state and federal regulations.
NETWORK CONNECTIVITY SPILL CONTROL 01 35 44-3
PROGRAM November 2, 2012

clothes, if necessary, to avoid further contact with product.
g. Disposal of all spilled product shall be made off-site, and shall be arranged
through the Contractor.
h. A Spill Report shall be completed, including a description of the event. A
sample Spill Documentation Form is provided in Appendix B.
C. Fire or Explosion:
1. In the event of a fire or explosion at the site, the Contractor shall:
a. Verify that the local fire department and the appropriate response personnel
(e.g., ambulance, police) have been notified.
b. Report to the scene, if safe to do so, and evaluate the situation (e.g., spill
character, source, etc.). Coordinate, as necessary, with other appropriate
site and emergency personnel.
c. Ensure that people are cleared from the area.
d. Ensure that fires are safely extinguished (if possible), valves closed, and
other immediate actions necessary to mitigate the emergency, if safe to do
so.
e. Initiate responsible measures necessary to prevent subsequent fires,
explosions, or releases from occurring or spreading to other areas of the
site. These measures include stopping processes or operations, collecting
and containing released oil, or removing and isolating containers.
f. Take appropriate action to monitor for: (1) leaks; (2) pressure build-ups;
(3) gas generation; or (4) ruptures in pipes, valves, or other equipment.

PROGRAM November 2, 2012
9. The steps being taken or proposed to contain and cleanup the released or spilled
material and any precautions taken to minimize impacts, including evacuation.
10. The extent of injuries, if any.
11. Any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the

the Contractor shall do the following:
1. Call to the National Response Center shall be made by the person in charge of
the site. The applicable phone numbers are 1-800-424-8802 or 1-202-426-2675.
