SECTION 01 35 44 SPILL CONTROL
GENERAL
SPILL PREVENTION
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 clean up the spill, the following procedures shall be followed:
Personnel discovering/responding to a spill shall:
Identify and locate the source of the spill. If unsafe conditions exist, leave the area, inform nearby personnel, notify the site supervisor, and initiate spill reporting (Section 1.
3).
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.
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.
Stop the spill at once (if possible).
Extinguish sources of ignition (e.g., flames, sparks, hot surfaces, cigarettes, etc.).
Clear personnel from the spill location and rope off the area.
Utilize available spill control equipment in an effort to ensure that fires, explosions, and releases do not occur, recur, or spread.
Use sorbent materials to control the spill at the source.
Construct a temporary containment dike of sorbent materials, cinder blocks, bricks, or other suitable materials to help contain the spill.
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.
Assess possible hazards to human health or the environment as a result of the release, fire, or explosion.
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.
Spill Cleanup:
Following containment of the spill, the following spill cleanup procedures shall be initiated.
Use proper waste containers.
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.
Cleanup materials not reclaimed on-site shall be disposed of in accordance with all applicable state and federal regulations.
Apply sorbent materials to pick up remaining liquid after bulk liquid has been removed. The Contractor shall not walk over spilled material. Absorbed

The spill must not have already entered into the soil or groundwater or onto surface water.
A release of a “reportable quantity”1 or unknown amount of a hazardous substance must also be immediately reported to NYSDEC Spill Hotline. Spills of reportable quantities of chemicals
or “harmful quantities”2 of oil to navigable waters must be reported to the federal National Response Center, 1-800-424-8802.
Spill Reporting Information: When making a telephone report, the caller should be prepared to provide the following information, if possible:
The date and time of the spill or release.
The identity or chemical name of the material released or spilled, including an indication of whether the material is defined as an extremely hazardous substance.
An estimate of the quantity of material released or spilled into the environment and the approximate duration of the event.
The exact location of the spill, including the name(s) of the waters involved or threatened, and/or other medium or media affected by the release or spill.
The source of the release or spill.
The name, address, and telephone number of the party in charge of, or responsible for, the facility or activity associated with the release or spill.
The extent of the actual and potential water pollution.
The name and telephone number of the person in charge of operations at the spill site.
The steps being taken or proposed to contain and cleanup the released or spilled material and any precautions taken to minimize impacts, including evacuation.
The extent of injuries, if any.
Any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the emergency, and information regarding necessary medical attention for exposed individuals.
Assistance required, if any.
If the release of a hazardous substance or oil occurs in an amount which exceeds a reportable quantity (RQ) as defined in 40 CFR Part 110, 40 CFR Part 117, 40 CFR Part 302, or 6 NYCRR
Part 597, then the Contractor shall do the following:
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.
