INTRODUCTION This Hazardous Materials Management and Spill Prevention and Countermeasure Plan (HAZMAT Plan) describes measures to be taken by the ETC Canyon Pipeline, LLC (Company) and its contractors (Contractor) to reduce the risks associated with the use, storage, transportation, production, and disposal of hazardous materials (including hazardous substances and wastes) and petroleum products. In addition, this plan outlines the required spill prevention and response (cleanup) procedures for the project. The HAZMAT Plan prepared as part of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as required by the project's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for stormwater discharges. This plan was prepared in accordance with good engineering practices. In general, hazardous materials and clean-up equipment will be stored at the construction yard. Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) will be maintained at the Contractor's yard(s) throughout the construction period. The Contractor will prepare and have the Company review and approve a HAZMA T Plan prior to any storage of hazardous substances or petroleum products. The company will have 10 days to review submitted plans. 1.1 PURPOSE OF PLAN The purpose of this plan is to provide a description of hazardous materials management, spill prevention, and spill response/cleanup measures associated with the construction, operation, and maintenance of the project. In addition this plan provides Contractors with requirements and guidance for the creation of their own HAZMA T Plan. 1.2 OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN'S COMPONENTS This plan includes the following components: (1) an introduction; (2) a description of the spill prevention procedures related to vehicle refueling and servicing and the transportation, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials; (3) guideline for developing the Contractor's HAZMAT Plan; (4) a description of the physical and procedural methods for spill control and cleanup; and (5) an overview of the notification and documentation procedures to be followed in the event of a spill. 1.3 PLANS AND MAPS RELATED TO THE HAZMA T PLAN Construction Alignment Sheets: These maps show the locations of drainages, waterbodies (defined as flowing streams and rivers), wetlands, and other sensitive resource areas. Fire Suppression and Prevention Plan: This plan details measures to be taken to reduce the risk of starting a fire, and measures to be implemented in the event a fire does occur within the project construction area. Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan: This plan provides detailed information on measures that will be implemented during construction to avoid and/or minimize project-related impacts to waterbodies and wetlands. 1.4 REGULATORY OVERVIEW Major legislation pertaining to hazardous materials includes the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compliance, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Clean Air Act, and the Clean Water Act. Numerous other federal, state, and local regulations also govern the use, storage, transport, production, and disposal of hazardous materials. Some of the key requirements of these laws are outlined in the following: • Title 29, CFR, Part 1910.1200 (Hazardous Communication Standard). Title 27, CFR, Part 55 (storage and use of explosives) • Title 40, CFR, Parts 112, 260 to 263, and 279 (hazardous wastes definitions, standards for hazardous waste generators, and requirements for Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plans) • Title 49, CFR, Part 171-180 (hazardous materials transportation) • Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Instruction Memorandum 94-253. Title 40, CFR, Part 1910.101 to .Ill and .120 (OSHA regulations) • Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III, Section 301-303 (emergency planning), Section 304 (emergency release notification), and Section 3111312 (community right-to-know reporting requirements) This plan is intended to comply with and compliment existing regulations pertaining to the safe use of hazardous materials. Persons responsible for handling hazardous materials for this project will be trained in the proper use/management of the materials and will be familiar with all applicable laws, policies, procedures, and best management practices (BMP's) related to them. 2. CONTRACTOR'S GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING THE HAZMAT PLAN The following sections provide specific guidelines for the preparation of the HAZMA T Plan by Contractor. 2.1 CERTIFICATIONS, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND DESIGNATION OF COORDINATOR RESPONSIBLE PERSON(S) 2.1.1 Certifications Contractor will certify that all of the information provided in the HAZMA T Plan is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge. Contractor will also certify that they are committed to implementing the HAZMA T Plan as written. As per the requirements of 40 CFR, Part 112, Contractor will have the HAZMAT PLAN reviewed and certified by a registered Professional Engineer. 2.1.2 Amendments In completing this certification, Contractor will agree to make all necessary and appropriate amendments to the plan and submit any such amendment to the Company and the appropriate county, state, and/or federal authorities within 7 days of finding an amendment is necessary. Amendments to the plan will be necessary under any of the following circumstances: • 100 percent or more increase of a previously disclosed material, • any handling of a previously undisclosed hazardous material subject to inventory requirements, • a change of business address, name, or ownership. 2.1.3 Responsible Person(s) Contractor is responsible for contacting county representatives to determine county requirements for Hazardous Materials Business/Management Plans. Generally counties will provide guidelines and forms for completion and submittal to the county. As required on the applicable county forms that the Contractor will obtain, Contractor will designate a primary emergency coordinator for hazardous materials management and emergency response. Two alternates will also be identified. Business, residential, and cellular or pager telephone numbers will be provided for all three persons as necessary, to allow for contact on a 24-hour basis. Primary and alternate emergency coordinators will be knowledgeable of the chemicals and processes involved in Contractor's operation. They will have full access to all facilities, including locked areas, and must have the authority to commit company resources. They will also have stop work authority to prevent impacts (potential or actual) to enviromnental resources. 2.2 FACILITIES' DESCRIPTION AND INVENTORY OF MATERIALS Contractor's submittals will be provided to the Enviromnental Inspector. The Enviromnental Inspector will provide submitted information to the jurisdictional agencies as appropriate. 2.2.1 Site Map Contractor will complete the relevant county forms related to business information and description. The Contractor is also required to provide a site map/facility map for each construction yard indicating storage and safety precautions for hazardous materials and hazardous wastes. The Contractor's site map will, at a minimum, indicate the following: • orientation and scale • total land area in square feet • access and egress points • building and/or temporary trailers • parking lots • adjacent land uses (if business, indicate business name) • surrounding road, storm drains, ad waterways (including waterbodies and wetlands) • locations of hazardous materials and hazardous waste storage • underground and above ground tanks • containment or diversion structures (dikes, berms, retention ponds) • shutoff valves and/or circuit breakers • location of emergency response materials and equipment • location ofMSDS and HAZMAT PLAN • location of emergency assembly area • location of clean up equipment within the yard As noted in Section 3.6 -Storage of Hazardous Materials, hazardous materials will be stored only in designated staging areas 100 feet from streams (dry and wet) and wetlands (dry and wet) and equipment storage yards. Temporary pumps, diesel powered generators, etc., will be located at least 100 feet from the edge of streams (dry and wet), wetlands (including dry or seasonal wetlands), and other sensitive areas defined by the project's Environmental Inspectors. If storage areas cannot be located at least 100 feet from streams and wetlands because of topographic conditions or space, the Contractor will also provide a sketch of where the materials will be stored in relation to the waterbody and location of clean up equipment. Include measures to be implemented for secondary containment as specified in Section 3.6.1, Physical Storage Requirements. 2.2.2 Inventory Contractor will provide a complete inventory to the Company of all hazardous substances that will be used (refer to Title 40, CFR, Parts 116 and 302). All inventory forms required by the relevant county will be provided by the Contractor as part of their HAZMAT Plan. 3. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT Construction, operation, and maintenance of the project will require the use of certain potentially hazardous materials such as fuels, and herbicides. By definition, hazardous materials (substances and wastes) have the potential to pose a significant threat to human health and the environment based upon their quantity, concentration, or chemical composition. Generally, hazardous materials will be stored in the Contractor's yard and not on the right-of-way (RO). When stored, used, transported, and disposed of properly as described below, the risks associated with these materials can be reduced substantially. 3.1 OVERVIEW OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PROPOSED FOR USE The following project-specific measures pertain to all vehicle refueling and servicing activities as well as the storage, transportation, production and disposal of hazardous materials (substances/wastes). These measures are intended to prevent the discharge of fuels, oils, gasoline, and other harmful substances to waterbodies, groundwater aquifers, and/or other sensitive resource areas during project construction. Hazardous materials (substances) used during project construction may include solvents and other substances. In addition, petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricating oils, and hydraulic fluid will be used. Some of these materials will be used in relatively large quantities at staging areas, in storage yards, and on the ROW to operate and maintain equipment during construction. Smaller quantities of other materials such as: herbicides, paints, and other chemicals will be used to control noxious weeds and facilitate revegetation on the row, and to operate and maintain meter stations during the life of the project. Additional materials will be necessary at other locations along the ROW (e.g., river crossing, hydrostatic test stations) and at off-ROW construction yards. Listings of other hazardous materials that will be used during construction, operation, and maintenance of the project in other locations will be identified on the Contractor's Hazardous Substances Inventory form included in Attachment I. The Company will compile all Contractor's submittals and update Attachment I prior to start of construction. The Company will update the inventory of hazardous materials used/stored on the project as needed throughout the life of the project. This information will be provided to the appropriate regulatory agencies as required (i.e., the 8LM requires reporting of all hazardous materials as defined by CERCLA, RCRA, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A copy of the compiled Attachment 1 will be provided to the 8LM) .. 3.2 TRAINING All project personnel will be required to receive basic spill prevention training. The Company is required to maintain a record of those workers who have received environmental training and ensure that only trained employees are allowed to work on the project. In addition all Contractor personnel who will be involved with the transportation and storage of fuels or hazardous substances, equipment maintenance, and spill response will be required to attend a higher level training class given by the Contractor as described in Section 5.2. 3.3 VEHICLE REFUELING AND SERVICING Construction vehicles (e.g., trucks, bulldozers, etc.) and equipment (e.g., pumps, generators, etc.) will be fueled/serviced in designated upland staging areas at least 100 feet from waterbodies and wetlands (including dry streams and dry or seasonal wetlands, refer to the stream and wetland crossing list in the Stream Crossing and Wetland Protection Plan). If pumps, generators, etc. cannot be located at least 100 feet from streams and wetlands because of topographic conditions or space limitations, special precautions (e.g., placing pumps and small refueling cans in secondary containment structures) will be taken to prevent the spill or release of hazardous materials into the waterway. Fueling will not occur within 200 feet of private wells or 400 feet of municipal wells. When selecting refueling areas, consideration will be given to slopes and other topographic conditions. Refueling locations will generally be flat to minimize the chance of spilled substance reaching a waterbody. In most cases, rubber-tired vehicles will be refueled and serviced at local gas stations or equipment yards off the ROW. Tracked vehicles will typically be refueled and serviced by fuel/service vehicles on the ROW. Every effort will be made to minimize the threat of a fuel spill during refueling and servicing. Fuel/service vehicles will carry extra plastic, a bucket or plastic pan to catch fuel, and minimum of 20 pounds of suitable absorbent material to handle potential spills. In addition, all vehicles will be inspected for leaks prior to being brought on-site and regularly throughout the construction period. In the event that a leak(s) is found, equipment will not be allowed to operate until all leaks have been repaired. Vehicles will also be equipped with fire fighting equipment as specified in the Fire Prevention and Suppression Plan. Construction equipment requiring maintenance which might result in the draining or leaking of fluids will be serviced only after a 12 mil plastic liner has been installed between the equipment and the soil. This liner must be placed in such a manner that all fluid is contained. Washing of construction vehicles (such as concrete trucks) will be allowed only in construction staging areas at least 100 feet from waterbodies and wetlands (including dry streams and dry or seasonal wetlands). Washing areas will be contained with berms or barriers to prevent migration of wastewater and/or sediments into waterbodies. Waste concrete material will be removed and properly disposed of once it has hardened. 3.4 EQUIPMENT ISPECTION AND DECONTAMINATION Prior to moving equipment onto the ROW, the Environmental Inspector will check equipment for leaks while also inspecting the equipment for weeds. All equipment will be cleaned and weed-free prior to being moved to the ROW. Equipment contaminated from fuel or hydraulic line breaks will be cleaned with diapers and the diapers will be disposed of properly. 3.5 TRANSPORTATION OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Procedures for loading and transporting fuels and other hazardous materials will meet the minimum requirements established by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and other pertinent requirements. At all times, hazardous materials will be transported in DOT approved containers. Prior to transporting hazardous materials, appropriate shipping papers will be completed. Vehicles carrying hazardous materials will be equipped with shovels, barriers tape, 4 to 6 mil plastic bags, personal protective clothing, and spill pads to contain a small spill should one occur during transport. In addition, vehicles transporting such materials will be properly signed (placarded) and/or marked. Prior to transporting hazardous materials, vehicles will be inspected for leakage and other potential safety problems. The Contractor will ensure that vehicle drivers are properly trained to respond to and report spills, leakage, and/or accidents involving hazardous materials (see Section 5.2 of this plan). All hazardous materials used for the project will be properly containerized and labeled at all times, including during transportation. Smaller DOT approved containers will be used on-site to transport needed amounts of hazardous materials to a specific location. Transfer of materials from large to small containers will not be done by hand pouring, but will be accomplished using appropriate equipment including pumps, hoses, and safety equipment. These smaller ("service") containers will also be clearly labeled. 3.6 STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Hazardous materials will be stored only in designated staging areas 100 feet from streams (dry and wet) and wetlands (dry and wet) and equipment storage yards. Temporary pumps, diesel powered generators, etc., will be located at least 100 feet from the edge of streams (dry and wet), wetlands (including dry or seasonal wetlands), and other sensitive areas defined by the project's Environmental Inspectors. If storage areas cannot be located at least 100 feet from streams and wetlands because of topographic conditions or space limitations, special precautions will be taken to prevent the spill or release of hazardous materials into the waterway. These precautions will include limiting the quantity and amount of time such materials are stored near the stream or wetland, providing secondary containment, and using trained personnel to monitor activities at the storage site. Storage of greater than 55 gallons of hazardous materials will not be permitted within 100 feet of streams or wetlands. Cleanup materials, including absorbent spill pads and plastic bags, will also be stored in these areas. Hazardous materials will not be stored in areas subject to flooding or inundation. 3.6.1 Physical Storage Requirements Security: Hazardous materials will be stored in secure areas to prevent damage, vandalism, or theft. During construction hours, hazardous materials may be stored temporarily on the ROW but overnight storage on the ROW will be prohibited. All storage containers will remain sealed when not in use and storage areas will be secured (gated, locked, and/or guarded) at night and/or during nonconstruction periods. Storage Containers: Containers will be compatible with the hazardous materials or wastes stored. If the container leaks or becomes damaged, the substance must be transferred to a container in good condition. Contractor will inspect containers at least weekly to discover any leaks in the containers or the containment systems. Containers used for transportation must comply with the DOT requirements, including those in Title 49, CFR, Part 173. Secondary Containment: Secondary containment will consist of bermed or diked areas that are lined and capable of holding 110 percent of the volume of the stored material plus any potential precipitation accumulation, and will be provided for fuel and oil tanks stored on-site [e.g., in Contractor's yard(s)]. Container Management: Containers holding hazardous substances will be kept closed during transfer and storage, except when it is necessary to add or remove the substance. Incompatible Wastes: Wastes that are incompatible with other wastes will not be placed in the same container, nor in an unwashed container, that previously held an incompatible material. Ignitable or Reactive Substances: Substances that may ignite or are reactive must be located at least 50 feet from the construction yard boundary. "NO SMOKING" signs will be conspicuously placed wherever there is a hazard from ignitable or reactive waste. Examples of ignitable wastes are: paint wastes, certain degreasers, thinners and solvents (petroleum distillates), epoxy resins, and adhesives. Examples of reactive wastes that may be found at construction yards include permanganate and manganese wastes from dry cell batteries. Storm Water: It may be necessary to drain accumulated storm water from within the secondary containment areas that contain the fuel storage tanks. If the storm water has been contaminated, absorbent pads or booms will be used to remove floating petroleum products. After the contamination has been removed, the storm water will be left to evaporate, if possible, otherwise it will be disposed of in an appropriate manner. Prior to disposal, the Environmental Inspector will check for sheen or other evidence of contamination. 3.6.2 Container Labeling Requirements for Hazardous Wastes Contractor will comply with the following labeling requirements for anyon-site container (including tanks) used to store accumulated hazardous wastes. The containers will be labeled as required in Title 40 CFR, Part 262 and will contain at least the following information: + chemical name (oil, diesel, etc.), + the accumulation start date and/or the date the 90-day storage period began; and + the words "Hazardous Waste" and warning words indicating the particular hazards ofthe waste, such as "flammable", "corrosive", or "reactive." 3.7 DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS WASTES Contractor will be responsible for ensuring that all hazardous wastes generated during their operations are collected regularly and disposed of in accordance with all applicable laws. Contractor will determine details on the proper handling and disposal of hazardous waste, and will assign responsibility to specific individuals prior to construction of the project. Hazardous wastes typically include chemicals, spent batteries, and other items. Contractor will ensure that every effort will be made to minimize the production of hazardous waste during the project including, but not limited to, minimizing the amount of hazardous materials needed for the project; using alternative non-hazardous substances when available; recycling usable materials such as paints and batteries to the maximum extent; and filtering and reusing solvents and thinners whenever possible. Any Contractor (generator) producing more than 100 kilograms per month of hazardous waste must apply for an EPA Identification Number. Contractor (generator) producing less than \00 kilograms per month are considered conditionally exempt small quantity generators. A generator can store hazardous wastes on-site for a period of up to 90 days without having to obtain a permit as a storage facility, or as a small quantity generator up to a total of 1000 kilograms. 3.8 CONTAMINATED CONTAINERS Containers that once held hazardous materials as products or which held hazardous wastes must be considered as potential hazardous wastes due to the residues of hazardous contents that may persist. In order for the container to be handled as non-hazardous waste, regulations require that the container be essentially empty and that certain handling requirements for the empty container be followed, including the following: • The containers must be empty, which means as much of the contents as possible have been removed so that none will pour out in any orientation and that they contain less than I pound and require special handling because of the waste type. • If the empty containers are less than five gallons, they may be disposed of as nonhazardous solid waste or scrapped. • If the empty containers are greater than five gallons, they must be handled in the following manner: o Returned to the vendor for re-use, o Sent to a drum recycler for reconditioning, or -used or recycled on-site. 3.9 WASTE OIL FILTERS Used, metal canister oil filters can be managed as solid waste as long as they are thoroughly drained of "free flowing" oil (oil exiting drop-by-drop) is not considered "free flowing"); the filters are accumulated, stored, and transferred in a closed, rainproof container. Waste oil filters are best drained by puncturing and gravity draining while the filter is still hot. 3.\0 USED LUBRICATING OIL Waste lubrication oil, including contaminated soil and rags, have specific requirements for storage, transportation, and disposal. Contractors are considered "Used Oil Generators" and as such must meet the following requirements: • Have a HAZMA T Plan certified by a registered Professional Engineer and approved by the Company. • Conduct spill prevention briefings frequently enough to assure adequate understanding by all workers. • Label all storage containers "Used Oil". • Ensure storage containers do not have visible leaks 3.11 INSPECTION AND RECORD KEEPING Contractor will inspect all storage facilities on a regular basis, but not less than weekly. The Weekly Hazardous Materials/Wastes Inspection Log in Attachment 2, will be used to record the condition of the facility. In addition to the weekly log, Contractor will maintain records for hazardous materials and hazardous wastes as required by all applicable federal, state, and local regulations and permit conditions. Record keeping requirements include: • hazardous material/waste inspection log • transportation documents • bills oflading • manifests • shipping papers • training records • release report forms • spill history Environmental Inspectors will monitor, inspect, document, and report on Contractor's compliance with all hazardous materials and hazardous waste management practices. 4. POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED SITES This general procedure is included as a contingency in the event that unexpected or unknown (pre-existing) contaminated sites are encountered during the course of construction. During the course of construction, some potential exists for encountering contaminated soils, groundwater, or other materials. Should such a situation develop where there is a reasonable basis for believing that contaminated materials have been encountered (where contamination is suggested by visible indications or unusual odors), the Contractor will stop work and immediately notify the Environmental Inspector or the Construction Supervisor. The Environmental Inspector or Construction Supervisor will determine next steps, including notification requirements. The Contractor may not commence work without authorization. 5. SPILL CONTROL AND COUNTERMEASURES The measures described in Section 3.0 of this plan are intended to prevent the spill of hazardous materials during normal project construction, operation and maintenance activities. However, not all potential spill situations can be reasonably foreseen or prevented. In accordance with Section 6.1 -Reporting Criteria, the Environmental Inspector will make a note of minor spills and cleanup in their daily logs. These minor spills will be documented in the daily report taken in the event of a major spill. In general, the Contractor will perform all cleanup activities including: (1) specifying in their HAZMA T PLAN specific containment and cleanup procedures; (2) providing necessary materials and labor; and (3) performing all reporting and documentation, as required. Notification and documentation of spills is discussed in greater detail in Section 6.0 ofthis plan. 5.1 PHYSICAL AND PROCEDURAL RESPONSE MEASURES Physical response actions are intended to ensure that all spills are promptly and thoroughly cleaned up. However, the first priority in responding to any spill is personnel and public safety. Construction personnel will be notified of evacuation procedures, including evacuation routes, to be used in event of a spill emergency. In general, the first person on the scene will: • attempt to identify the source, composition, and hazard of the spill or stain; • isolate and stop the spill and begin clean up of the spill or stain, if possible (i.e., if it is safe). • contain spills or stains, of unknown substances, in a barrel or plastic to prevent migration if rain occurs, • properly store, and • obtain a sample of the unknown substance for laboratory analysis • Notify appropriate personnel and initiate reporting actions; and • Initiate evacuation of the area if necessary. Persons should only attempt to clean up or control a spill if they have received proper training. Untrained individuals will immediately notify the Contractor's primary or alternate emergency coordinators. If there is a spill of an unknown substance and its identity cannot be determined by observing obvious clues (i.e., labels on containers), or observing obvious sources (e.g., hydraulic lines, fuel tanks, etc.), it would not be considered safe for the average person to contain the spill and obtain sample for laboratory analysis. Any spill of an unknown substance should be treated as a hazard and should be approached, contained and sampled by trained emergency response personnel. General construction personnel should be instructed to contain and cleanup spills of only those substances they can safely identify and that can be safely approached (from upwind an upgradient) and handled, after identifying the materials from a safe distance and location. In general, expert advice will be sought to properly clean up major spills (defined as any spill over the reportable quantity for that substance). For spills on land, berms will be constructed to contain the spilled material and prevent migration of hazardous materials or petroleum products toward waterways. Dry materials will not be cleaned up with water or buried. Contaminated soils will be collected using appropriate machinery, stored in suitable containers, and properly disposed of in appropriately designated areas off-site. After contaminated soil is recovered, all machinery utilized will be decontaminated, and recovered soil will be treated as used oil if contaminated with petroleum products or hazardous waste is contaminated with hazardous waste. Contaminated cleanup materials (absorbent pads, etc.) and vegetation will be disposed of in a similar manner. For major spills, cleanup will be verified by sampling and laboratory analysis. If spilled materials reach water, booms and skimmers will be used to contain and remove contaminants. Other actions will be taken as necessary to clean up contaminated waters. In areas where construction activity will cross a small slowing waterbody (25 feet or less), absorbent booms will be placed on the water surface downstream of the construction zone, prior to construction. Clean-up materials including absorbent spill pads and plastic bags will be placed on site at flowing streams and "wet" wetlands when construction is occurring within 100 feet of these areas. For river crossings over 25 feet, cleanup materials will be located on both banks. 5.1.1 On-Site Equipment The following equipment will be maintained on site with each crew using heavy equipment for use in cleanup situations. • shovels • absorbent pads/materials • personal protective gear • fire fighting equipment • medical first -aid supplies • phone list with emergency contact numbers • storage containers • communications equipment 5.2 EMPLOYEE SPILL PREVENTION/RESPONSE TRAINING AND EDUCATION Contractor will provide spill prevention and response training to appropriate construction and inspection personnel. Persons accountable for carrying out the procedures specified herein will be designated prior to construction and informed of their specific duties and responsibilities with respect to environmental compliance and hazardous materials. Contractor is required to maintain a record of those workers who have received training. Note that this training is in addition to the environmental training that will be conducted by the Company. Contractor's training will be provided to inform appropriate personnel of site-specific environmental compliance procedures. At a minimum, this training will include the following: • a review of the Company and Contractor HAZMA T Plan, and discussion of individual responsibilities; • an overview of all regulatory requirements; • methods for the safe handling/storage of hazardous materials and petroleum products; • spill prevention procedures; • operation and location of spill control materials; • inspection procedures for spill containment equipment and materials; • emergency response procedures; • use of personal protective equipment (PPE); • use of spill cleanup equipment; • procedures for coordinating with emergency response teams; • standard information regarding a spill to be provided to Company for agency notification (see Section 6.1); 6. NOTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION OF SPILL PROCEDURES Notifications and documentation procedures for all spills that occur during project construction, operation, or maintenance will conform to applicable federal, state, and local laws. Adherence to such procedures will be the top priority once initial safety and spill response actions have been taken. The following sections describe the notification and documentation procedures, and should be implemented in conjunction with the response procedures listed in other sections of this plan. 6.1 REQUIRED NOTIFICATION Notification will begin as soon as possible after discovery of a release. The individual who discovers the spill will contact a Company Construction or Environmental Inspector. If the Environmental Inspector determines that the spill meets the criteria for immediate verbal notification of government agencies (see Section 6.1.3, Reporting Criteria) and/or determines that the spill may threaten human health or the environment, he/she will immediately notify Company's Field Supervisor who will make the required agency notifications as described below. On federal lands, all spills greater than I gallon will be reported. Prior to beginning the notification process, the individual initiating notification should obtain as much information as possible to clearly document and communicate the situation. See Section 6.1.1 for standard information that will be requested by agencies. The following mandatory notifications will be made by the Environmental Inspector. • 911 will be called if the spill is deemed to be an emergency • BLM, Glenwood Springs Field Office-(970) 947-2800 • BLM, Grand Junction Fire Dispatch-(970) 257-4800 • National Response Center (800) 424-8802 (for amounts exceeding the reportable quantity for that material (see section 6.1.3, Reporting Criteria) • Colorado Department of Health and Environment (303) 692-3500 non-emergency (303) 756-4455 emergency • Grand Junction State Patrol/State Hazardous Materials Team, for spill occurring on State Highway rights-of-way (970) 248-7278 • Local Emergency Planning Committee -notified at the following numbers. • Garfield County Sheriffs Office (Parachute, CO) (970)-285-9127 • City of Rifle -Water plant 970-625-2541 • Ifthe spill or leak has the potential to affect BLM lands, the State Patrol and BLM must be notified immediately (with respect to the State Patrol, this requirement applies only for spills occurring on State Highway rights-of-way). • If the spill or leak has the potential to affect USFS lands, the State Patrol and USFS must be notified immediately (with respect to the State Patrol, this requirement applies only for spills occurring on State Highway rights-of-way). 6.1.1. Agency Notification When notifying a regulatory agency, the Environmental Inspector will provide the following information: • current threats to human health and safety, including known injuries, if any; spill location (legal land description if available), including landmarks and nearest access route; reporter's name and phone number; time the spill occurred; • type and estimated amount of hazardous materials involved; • potential threat to property and environmental resources, especially waterbodies and wetlands; and • status of response actions. On-site personnel should always consult the Environmental Inspector to clarify regulatory requirements. 6.1.2 Landowner Notification When a spill poses a direct and immediate threat to health and safety and/or property, the landowners potentially affected by the spill will be directly notified by the Company. The Alignment Sheets delineate land ownership along the entire ROW and will be used to determine affected landowners. Immediate notification of landowners is required for all situations in which the spill poses a direct and immediate threat to health and safety and/or property. 6.1.3 Reporting Criteria The Contractor will report to the Company Environmental Inspector all hazardous substance releases regardless of size and petroleum product spills which threaten or enter any waterbody, or that are over 1 quart in size. Verbal reports are required immediately following a major spill when doing so would not delay clean up or administration of urgent medical care. The Company Environmental Inspector will determine ifthe spill meets the following criteria for immediate agency notification. Any release of hazardous material over the applicable reportable quantities (List of Reportable Quantities), or a petroleum product spill which threatens or enters a waterbody must of reported immediately to the National Response Center (NRC), the BLM, state, and local authorities. On federal lands, all spills greater than I gallon will be reported. For petroleum spills over 25 gallons which occur in upland areas notification will be made to the BLM, state, and local authorities.

Maintaining detailed and organized records during a spill incident is an important and prudent task. One Contractor representative should be designated to manage the records for an incident. If extensive spill response and cleanup operations are required, the Contractor may choose to assign a bookkeeper to assist in the documentation process. The Contractor's on-site bookkeeper will track and manage all expenditures (i.e" equipment, personnel/labor hours, and associated resources) and will help supplement the infonnation provided in the daily log book.
