How does the facility document spill prevention inspections?
Prepare facility-specific checklists for inspections of ASTs, valves, piping, pumps, dikes, oil-water separators, drainage sumps, monitoring devices, alarms, gauges, the truck loading/ unloading rack, and spill control equipment. Use these checklists during equipment inspections. What is the facility’s protocol for maintaining equipment and correcting visible oil leaks? Institute a regular preventive maintenance program to prevent leaks, equipment malfunctions, and spills. Replace worn seals, fittings, and other parts before they leak or break. Wastewater or stormwater treatment system equipment, including oil-water separators, must be regularly maintained to prevent clogging and other problems that may lead to equipment failure. Is the site adequately protected against vandalism? Fences should completely enclose operating areas and be adequately designed to prevent passage (consider the height and durability of the fence). Consider installing motion detectors for activating lights at
