Nature Environmental receives waste streams in the form of domestic and foreign trash and liquid waste. Domestic trash is generally sent to dumpsters and landfills while foreign trash is sent to an autoclave system in Corpus Christi to be steam sterilized. The liquid wastes include wash water and used oil from ships. The facility does not accept any hazardous waste. Most of its operation involves physically separating used oil from solids and water in frac tanks and recycling the separated materials. Nature Environmental essentially decants used oil by transferring the materials between frac tanks to get the lowest Basic Sediment & Water (BS&W) percentage possible in the final waste oil tank. The used oil that is separated out during this process is generally sold to refineries. A lower BS&W percentage means there is a higher oil content in the used oil, resulting in Nature Environmental receiving higher pay for the recycled material from companies such as Select Oil and Interstate. These companies re-refine the recycled used oil and receive about 10,000 gallons of the material per week from Nature Environmental. The oily water from this process is sent off to wastewater treatment plants for disposal and the solids remain in the frac tanks to be mixed with more water. This is done to pull out more oily content from the solids or sediments. The facility holds wastewater in three poly tanks. These are sent to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). If the wastewater is too acidic, the facility will add base, or vice versa, to meet the specifications of the WWTP. For foreign trash, the material is sealed in supersacks. These wastes will stay on-site for a day at most before they are sent to Corpus Christi for steam sterilization. Nature Environmental also removes and stores old printers and universal wastes from ships, such as fluorescent lamps. These wastes generally stay on-site for two weeks. Nature Environmental also stores paint waste which is sent for disposal within a day after being received on site. The facility also operates a parts washer. The solvent and spent solvent for this equipment is handled by Safety Kleen, a thirdparty vendor. A third party also performs any maintenance generating used oil for Nature Environmental. The facility also stated that they generate and transfer used oil.
Nature Environmental is registered as a transporter, a used oil handler, and a VSQG of hazardous waste with EPA ID TXR000084819. Although it has not registered with the State of Texas or EPA as a used oil processor, Nature Environmental is acting in that capacity when it processes used oil [AOC #1 - Nature Environmental did not notify as a used oil processor - 40 CFR 279.51, TAC 324.12(2)]. The company transports waste from docks in Houston, primarily City Docks, and occasionally Galveston docks among others. Nature Environmental services vessels and docks exclusively by road using its own fleet of vacuum trucks. Everything Nature Environmental receives is sampled before being unloaded off ships and transported to its facility. The facility uses A&B Lab, Precision Labs, or its own in-house sampling. Nature Environmental generally perform solids and water testing, pH testing, and viscosity testing for any materials received. Occasionally the facility receives waste that does not match the description provided by the customer prior to pick up. Nature Environmental personnel stated that even in those cases, they have never received hazardous waste. Used oil is stored in various storage tanks during the physical separation process, generally for a total of 10 days. They send their processed used oil off on Bills of Lading (BOLs). The inspection team viewed several (BOLs) and noted no issues. Nature Environmental does not have a MARPOL COA.
The inspection team then conducted a visual inspection of the facility. Observations and Areas of Concern (AOCs) are organized by section below along with facility responses where relevant.

Inspection Date(s): 05/06/2024
Universal Waste Area
The inspection team noted that many of the facility's universal wastes did not have universal waste labelling (see Appendix 1 - Photo 1) [AOC #2 - Nature Environmental did not label or mark the universal waste to identify the type of universal waste - 40 CFR 273.14]. On May 17, 2024, Nona Walker followed up on this issue via email , stating that the walls of the universal waste area had been labeled (see Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 - Photos 2 and 3). Also, some universal waste lamp boxes were open (see Appendix 1 - Photo 2) [AOC #3 - Nature Environmental did not keep containers holding universal waste lamps closed. - 40 CFR 273.13(d)(1)].
Used Oil Storage Area (see Appendix 1 - Photos 3 and 7)
In Nature Environmental's pre-processing used oil storage area, the inspection team noted that multiple containers full of used oil were in rusted or in poor condition (see Appendix 1 - Photos 3, 4, and 7) [AOC #4 - Nature Environmental was storing used oil in containers that were rusted and/or in poor condition - 40 CFR 279.45(c)(1)]. Free liquid was also observed in an oil contaminated solid waste container adjacent to this area (see Appendix 1 - Photos 8 and 9). In her May 17 follow-up email, Ms. Walker indicated that the free liquid had been sucked out of the used oil dumpster (see Appendix 2).
Chemical Storage Area 1
Adjacent to Nature Environmental's used oil storage area and across from the oil contaminated solid waste container, the inspection team viewed a tote and three drums in the facility's chemical storage area 1 (see Appendix 1 - Photos 5 and 6). According to facility representatives, the tote contained cooking oil. They could not identify the contents of the three drums during the inspection. In her May 17 follow-up email, Ms. Walker indicated that the drums contained cooking grease/oil which had been emptied into the cooking oil tote (see Appendix 2).
Oil Waste Separation Frac Tank Area
The inspection team observed about 21 frac tanks used for the facility's used oil separation process. The inspection team viewed Nature Environmental's final storage area for processed oil (see Appendix 1 - Photo 10). In this area, the facility had a white frac tank that did not have a label describing its contents (see Appendix 1 - Photo 11). The tank was not empty, but it did not have a visible gauge to help determine how full it was. The facility representatives believed that the frac tank only contained used oil [AOC #5 - Nature Environmental did not label aboveground tanks used to store used oil - 40 CFR 279.54(f)(1)]. The inspection team also observed six unlabeled white frac tanks for used oil storage in the oil waste separation frac tank area (see Appendix 1 - Photos 12 and 13) [see AOC #5]. These frac tanks were all either full or mostly full. Pictures of two of these white frac tanks with appropriate used oil labels were included in Ms. Walker's May 17 follow-up email (see Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 - Photos 4 and 7). The team also observed that the secondary containment for the six unlabeled white frac tanks had been folded over for an unknown amount of time, making the system incapable of preventing a release of used oil into the environment (see Appendix 1 - Photos 14). [AOC #6 - Nature Environmental's used oil aboveground tank secondary containment system was not sufficiently impervious to used oil to prevent any used oil released into the containment system from migrating out of the system to the soil, groundwater, or surface water - 40 CFR 279.54(c)(2)]. In her May 17 follow-up email, Ms. Walker explained that the secondary containment wall had been fixed (see Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 - Photos 5 and 6). The inspection team observed the heavier solids frac tank storage area (see Appendix 1 - Photos 15). A tote without a label containing a bluish green material was viewed in this area (see Appendix 1 - Photos 16). Facility personnel could not identify the contents of this tote during the inspection. In her May 17 follow-up email, Ms. Walker stated that the bluish green liquid was detergent/soap and that the tote had been properly labeled (see Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 - Photos 1).
The inspection team concluded the visual inspection and began a document review process and closeout at Page 5 of 9

Inspection Date(s): 05/06/2024
11:26 AM. The inspection team noted that Nature Environmental's Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan was not up to date as it indicated there were only ten frac tanks on site rather than the 21 that the inspection team observed [AOC #7 - Nature Environmental's SPCC plan, which has been amended to cover used oil requirements according to their Contingency Plan, was not reviewed and immediately amended to reflect the facility's changes - 40 CFR 279.52(b)(4)(iii)]. Also, Nature Environmental personnel could not locate a physical copy of their Contingency Plan during the inspection [AOC #8 - Nature Environmental did not maintain a copy of their contingency plan at the facility - 279.52(b)(3)(i)]. During the closeout conference, the inspection team requested the following documents and clarifications:
Manifests (if available) for any RCRA totes or material that have been sent off or handled within the last 3 years. The inspection team noted that one of Nature Environmental's non-hazardous waste manifests included a space for "RCRA totes" and requested clarification on what type of material that would be and how it is handled.
A copy of the current SPCC plan A copy of the current Contingency Plan A copy of the current Used Oil Handler Analysis Plan Records of analyses performed for used oil for April 2024
In Ms. Walker's May 17 follow-up email (see Appendix 2), she responded to these requests in order as follows:
Ms. Walker explained that Nature Environmental has not sent any RCRA totes or material offsite to date and has removed that wording from its non-hazardous waste manifest (see Appendix 2).
The current SPCC plan is included as Appendix 4. Ms. Walker explained that the SPCC plan was updated to include all the frac tanks on site (see Appendix 2).
The current Contingency Plan is included as Appendix 5. In section (b)(3)(i) of this plan, it is indicated that a "copy of the General Facility Standards plan and the SPCC Plan with contingency information is located in the operations supervisor office." Ms. Walker explained that the facility has placed a copy of the Contingency Plan in its SPCC binder (see Appendix 2).
The current Used Oil Handler Analysis Plan is included as Appendix 6. No issues were noted in this plan.
Records of analyses performed for used oil in April 2024 are included as Appendix 7. No issues were noted in these records.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan is to describe measures implemented by Nature Environmental and Marine Services, LLC to prevent oil discharges from occurring, and to prepare Nature Environmental and Marine Services, LLC to respond in safe, effective, and timely manner to mitigate the impacts of a discharge.
This Plan has been prepared to meet the requirements of Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112 (40 CFR part 112), and supersedes any earlier Plan developed to meet provisions in effect since 1974.
In addition to fulfilling requirements of 40 CFR Part 112, this SPCC Plan is used as a reference for oil storage information and testing records; as a tool to communicate practices on preventing and responding to discharges with Nature Environmental and Marine Services, LLC employees and contractors; as a guide on facility inspections; and as a resource during emergency response.
A facility is subject to SPCC regulations if the total aboveground storage capacity of oil and oil products exceeds 1,320 gallons; or if the underground storage capacity exceeds 42,000 gallons; and if, because of its location, the facility could reasonably be expected to discharge oil into navigable waters of the United States. Containers with a capacity of less than 55 gallons of oil or oil products are exempted from the requirements under the Oil Pollution Prevention regulations.
"Oil" is defined in 40 CFR 112.2 as "oil of any kind or in any form, including, but not
limited to: fats, oils, or greases from animals, fish, or marine mammal origin; vegetable oils,
including oils from seeds, nuts, fruits, or kernels; and, other oils and greases, including
petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, synthetic oils, mineral oils, oil refuse, or oil mixed with wastes

other than dredge spoil." This definition includes many transformer oils, hydraulic oils, and other oils.
This SPCC Plan addresses two basic issues: (1) design, operation, and maintenance procedures to prevent and control oil spills; and (2) discharge response procedures for facility personnel. More specifically, the first basic issue encompasses
measures designed for the prevention of operational error and equipment failure, which are the causes of most spills; and
the control and recovery of any oil spill by containment structures to prevent a spill from entering navigable waters.
The second basic issue specifically encompasses countermeasures (contingency plan) to contain, clean up, and mitigate the effects of an oil spill at or from the facility.
This Plan is not intended to address materials classified as hazardous wastes covered by 40 CFR 265 or Texas Waste Regulations that are stored in Nature Environmental and Marine Services, LLC However, used oils stored in different areas located in the general facility that are not covered by 40 CFR 265 or Texas Waste Regulations are therefore addressed in this SPCC Plan.
Nature Environmental and Marine Services, LLC management has determined that this facility does not pose a risk of substantial harm under 40 CFR 112, as recorded in the "Substantial Harm Determination" included in Appendix B of this Plan.
This Plan provides guidance on key actions that Nature Environmental and Marine Services, LLC must perform to comply with the SPCC rule:
Complete monthly and annual site inspections as outlined in the Inspection, Tests and Records section of this Plan (Section 2.7) using the inspection checklists included in Appendix C.

Perform preventive maintenance of equipment, secondary containment systems, and discharge prevention systems described in this Plan as needed to keep them in proper operating conditions.
Conduct annual employee training as outlined in the Personnel, Training, and Prevention Procedures section of this Plan (Section 2.8) and document them on
the log included in Appendix E.
If either of the following occurs, submit the SPCC Plan to the EPA Region 6 Regional Administrator (RA) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), along with other information available as detailed in Section 4.4 of this Plan:
- The facility discharges more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon the
navigable waters of the U.S. or adjoining shorelines in a single spill event, or
- The facility discharges oil in quantity greater than 42 gallons in each of two
spill events within any 12 month period.
Review the SPCC Plan at least once every five (5) years and amend it to include
more effective prevention and control technology, if such technology will
significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill event and has been proven effective
in the field at the time of the review. Plan amendments, other than administrative
changes discussed above, must be recertified by a Professional Engineer (PE) on the certification page of this Plan.
Amend the SPCC Plan within six (6) months whenever there is a change in
facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects the facility's spill potential. The revised plan must be certified by a PE.
Review the Plan on an annual basis. Update the Plan to reflect any
"administrative changes" that are applicable, such as personnel changes or
revisions to contact information and phone numbers. Administrative changes will
be documented in the Plan review log of this Plan, but do not have to be certified
by a PE.

12/3/2018 Technical Amendment for Nature Environmental and Marine Services, LLC SPCC Plan
1. Tank 4 to T-10 (7 Frac tanks) were added. All tanks have a capacity of 500 bbl (21,000 gallons). Quantity of tanks can vary from 2 to 12 tanks or from 42,000 gallons to 252,000 gallons of oily water).
2. Frac-tanks used to store oily water from ships. Frac-tank is a single walled " steel walls and floor.
3. Each tank has an individual secondary containment and is sited near T-1 and T-2 (See Attached Drawing).
4. Secondary containment calculations for individual these tanks are available on SPCC Appendix F (All secondary containments are the same). None of the individual secondary containments are complying with the SPCC
regulation 112.8(c)(2) Bulk storage containers: Construct all bulk storage tank installations (except mobile refuelers and other non-
transportation-related tank trucks) so that you provide a secondary means of containment for the entire capacity of the largest single container and sufficient freeboard to contain recipitation. You must ensure that diked areas are sufficiently impervious to contain discharaed oil. Dikes, containment curbs, and pits are commonly employed for this purpose. You may also use an alternative system consisting of a drainage trench enclosure that must be arranged so that any discharge will terminate and be safely confined in a facility catchment basin or holding pond.
Within three months of this technical amendment the owner or operator must modify or construct new tank installations (secondary containment) that comply with the conditions stated in this amendment and 40 CFR 112.8(c)(2).

Used drums and totes usually are filled on site with used oil or
other substances
2.5 Containment and Diversionary Structures As required by 40 CFR 112.7(c), the secondary containment system (shown in
Figures A-2) must be capable of containing oil and constructed so that any discharge from a primary containment system must not escape the containment system before cleanup occurs.
Tank T-1 (Steel; Oily Water; 21,000 gallons) is sited in an aluminum angle standard
portable containment berm C-1 (capacity of 5,745 gallons). The existing secondary
containment C-1 volume is insufficient to contain the capacity of the largest single
container (T-1) including sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. Within three months
of the implementation of this plan the facility must provide secondary containment
sufficient to hold the full capacity of T-1 and sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation.
The facility has made a written commitment to have manpower, equipment, and materials

PART IV - DISCHARGE RESPONSE
This section describes the response and cleanup procedures in the event of an oil discharge. The uncontrolled discharge of oil to groundwater, surface water, or soil is prohibited. Immediate action will be taken to control, contain, and recover discharged oil. In general, the following steps are taken:
Eliminate potential spark sources; If possible and safe to do so, identify and shut down source of the discharge to stop the flow; Contain the discharge with sorbents, berms, trenches, sandbags, or other material; Contact the authorized facility representative or his/her alternate; Contact regulatory authorities and the clean-up organization; and Collect and dispose of recovered products according to applicable regulations.
For the purpose of establishing appropriate response procedures, this SPCC Plan classifies discharges as either "minor'' or "major," depending on the volume and characteristics of the material released.
A list of emergency contacts is provided in Appendix H and posted at prominent locations throughout the facility. A discharge notification form is provided in Appendix I. A list of discharge response material kept at the facility is included in Appendix J.
4.1 Response to a Minor Discharge A "minor" discharge is defined as one that poses no significant harm (or threat) to
human health and safety or to the environment. Minor discharges are generally those where:
The quantity of product discharged is small (e.g., less than 10 gallons of oil); Discharged material is easily stopped and controlled at the time of the discharge; Discharge is localized near the source;

Discharged oil is not likely to reach water; There is minimal risk to human health or safety; and There is minimal risk of fire or explosion.
Minor discharges can usually be cleaned up by facility personnel. The following guidelines apply:
Immediately notify the authorized facility representative. Under the direction of the authorized facility representative, contain the discharge with discharge response materials and equipment. Place discharge debris in properly labeled waste containers. The authorized facility representative will complete the discharge notification form (Appendix I) and attach a copy to this SPCC Plan. If the discharge involves more than 25 gallons of oil spill on the ground, the authorized facility representative will contact the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Region 10, Beaumont (409-898-3838).
4.2 Response to a Major Discharge A "major" discharge is defined as one that cannot be safely controlled or cleaned up
by facility personnel, such as when:
The discharge is large enough to spread beyond the immediate discharge area; The discharged oil enters a storm drain or other water; The discharge requires special equipment or training to clean up; The discharged oil poses a hazard to human health or safety; or There is a danger of fire or explosion.
In the event of a major discharge, the following guidelines apply:
All workers will immediately evacuate the discharge site via designated exit routes and move to designated staging areas at a safe distance from the discharge. If the authorized facility representative is not present at the facility, the senior onsite person notifies the authorized facility representative of the discharge and has authority to initiate notification and response.

Inspection Guidance:
For equipment not included in this Standard, follow the manufacturer recommended inspection/testing schedules and procedures.
The periodic AST Inspection is intended for monitoring the external AST condition and its containment structure. This visual inspection does not require a Certified Inspector. It shall be performed by an owner's inspector per paragraph 4.1.2 of the standard. Remove promptly standing water or liquid in the primary tank, secondary containment area, interstice, or spill container. Before discharge to the environment, inspect the liquid for regulated products or other contaminants and disposed of it properly. In order to comply with EPA SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure) rules, a facility must regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper operation (40 CFR 112.8(c)(8)(v)). (*) designates an item in a non-conformance status. This indicates that action is required to address a problem. Non-conforming items important to tank or containment integrity require evaluation by an engineer experienced in AST design, a Certified Inspector, or a tank manufacturer who will determine the corrective action. Note the non-conformance and corresponding corrective action in the comment section. Retain the completed checklists for at least 36 months. Complete this checklist on an annual basis supplemental to the owner monthly-performed inspection checklists. Note: If a change has occurred to the tank system or containment that may affect the SPCC plan, the condition should be evaluated against the current plan requirement by a Professional Engineer knowledgeable in SPCC development and implementation.

Inspection Guidance:
Inspections of multiple tanks may be captured on one form as long as the tanks are substantially the same. For equipment not included in this Standard, follow the manufacturer recommended inspection/testing schedules and procedures. The periodic AST Inspection is intended for monitoring the external AST condition and its containment structure. This visual inspection does not require a Certified Inspector. It shall be performed by an owner's inspector per paragraph 4.1.2 of the standard. Upon discovery of water in the primary tank, secondary containment area, interstice, or spill container, remove promptly or take other corrective action. Inspect the liquid for regulated products or other contaminants and dispose of properly. Non-conforming items important to tank or containment integrity require evaluation by an engineer experienced in AST design, a Certified Inspector, or a tank manufacturer who will determine the corrective action. Note the non-conformance and corresponding corrective action in the comment section. Retain the completed checklists for at least 36 months. After severe weather (snow, ice, wind storms) or maintenance (such as coating) that could affect the operation of critical components (normal and emergency vents, valves), an inspection of these components is required as soon as the equipment is safely accessible after the event.

Inspection Guidance:
Inspections of multiple tanks may be captured on one form as long as the tanks are substantially the same. For equipment not included in this Standard, follow the manufacturer recommended inspection/testing schedules and procedures. The periodic AST Inspection is intended for monitoring the external AST condition and its containment structure. This visual inspection does not require a Certified Inspector. It shall be performed by an owner's inspector per paragraph 4.1.2 of the standard. Upon discovery of water in the primary tank, secondary containment area, interstice, or spill container, remove promptly or take other corrective action. Inspect the liquid for regulated products or other contaminants and dispose of properly. Non-conforming items important to tank or containment integrity require evaluation by an engineer experienced in AST design, a Certified Inspector, or a tank manufacturer who will determine the corrective action. Note the non-conformance and corresponding corrective action in the comment section. Retain the completed checklists for at least 36 months. After severe weather (snow, ice, wind stonns) or maintenance (such as coating) that could affect the operation of critical components (nonnal and emergency vents, valves), an inspection of these components is required as soon as the equipment is safely accessible after the event.
Item Is tank exterior (roof, shell, heads, bottom, connections, fittings, valves, etc.) free of 1 visible leaks? Note: If "No", identify tank and describe leak and actions taken. 2 Is the tank liquid level gauge legible and in !?ood workin!? condition?
Is the area around the tank (concrete 3 surfaces, ground, containment, etc.) free of
visible signs of leakage? Is the primary tank free of water or has another preventative measure been taken? 4 NOTE: Refer to paragraphs 6.10 and 6.11 of the standard for alternatives for Category 1 tanks. NIA is only appropriate for these alternatives.
For double-wall or double bottom tanks or 5 CE-ASTs, is interstitial monitoring
equipment (where applicable) in good working condition? For double-wall tanks or double bottom tanks or CE-ASTs, is interstice free of liquid? 6 Remove the liquid if it is found. If tank vroduct is found, investi!?ate vossible leak.
7 If overfill equipment has a "test" button, does it activate the audible horn or light to confirm operation? If battery operated, revlace batterv if needed.
8 Is overfill prevention equipment in good working condition? If it is equipped with a mechanical test mechanism, actuate the

APPENDIX F: VOLUME REQUIRED OF SECONDARY CONTAINMENT
For Tank T-1: Determination of volume of Containment, C-1
Length (ft) = 52.5 (ft) Width (ft) = 12.5 (ft) Height (ft) = 1.17 (ft)
Vc.1 = Length x Width x Height = 52.5 (ft) X 12.5 (ft) X 1.17 (ft)= 768 (ft3)
Vc.1 = 768 (ft3) X 7.48 = 5,745 gal
Tank T-1 is a Dragon design frac tank with a volume of 500 barrels (bbl)
Vr.1 = 500 bbl x 42 gal/bbl = 21,000 gallons For Tank measurements please see drawings in Appendix A, Figure A-3.
The existing secondary containment C-1 volume is insufficient to contain the capacity of the largest single container (T-1) including sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. Within three months of the implementation of this plan the facility must provide secondary containment sufficient to hold the full capacity of T-1 and sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. Once provided Nature Environmental and Marine Services, LLC must keep the secondary containment clear of debris. The facility must ensure that the secondary containment system must be free of cracks, holes, or gaps and be sufficiently impervious to contain leaks, spills, and accumulated rainfall until the collected material is detected and removed. T-1 is located outside so the owner or operator needs to provide extra volume for a freeboard of 9.9 inches.

The design of the secondary containment has a ramp that must be deducted from the secondary containment volume. The ramp is a right triangle with the following dimensions:
Height = 5.5" = 0.458' Length = 50" = 4.17' Width = 10'
Area of a right triangle = (L)(H) = x 4.17 x 0.458 = 0.95 ft2 Volume = Area x W = 0.95 ft2 x 10 ft= 9.5 ft3

4. First-Aid Measures
Inhalation:
If respiratory symptoms develop, move victim to fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention if symptoms persist. If breathing has stopped and airway is clear, provide artificial respiration. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim ingested the substance. Provide artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult, if qualified. Seek immediate medical attention.
Skin Contact:
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash affected areas with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Decontaminate clothing before reuse.
Eye Contact:
Flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the eyelids. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, place on the left side with head down to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Have exposed individual rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not leave victim unattended. Monitor for breathing difficulties. Seek immediate medical attention.
Notes to Physician: This material may contain or liberate hydrogen sulfide. In high doses, hydrogen sulfide may produce pulmonary edema and respiratory depression or paralysis.
5. Fire-Fighting Measures
NFPA Ratings:
Health: 1
Flammability: 1
Reactivity: 0
General Fire Hazards: Flammable. Fire is associated with crude oil and natural gas liquids floating on surface of produced water and their vapors. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames or other sources of ignition. Vapors may reach an ignition source, and flashback. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard downstream from the source. Gases may form explosive mixtures with air. BLEVE'S (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosions) can occur when a liquid in a pressurized container is heated to temperatures beyond its boiling point. This can lead to failure of the container and damage to the surrounding area. May react with strong oxidizing materials and a wide variety of chemicals.
Hazardous combustion/decomposition products may include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Hydrogen sulfide may be present. Downwind personnel must be evacuated.
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide or water spray. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen. Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use a solid water stream. Water and foam should not be used together on the same surface as water destroys the foam. Water should be used as a spray to keep surrounding areas cool.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Use a smothering technique for extinguishing fire. Do not use a forced- water stream as this will scatter the fire. Use a water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and surrounding areas until well after fire is out. Do not direct water at source of leak or safety devices as icing may occur. Dike fire-control water for later disposal; do not scatter the material. Firefighters

should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Refer to Section 8 for appropriate PPE selection.
Precautions for Fire Involving Tanks or Car/Trailer Loads: Always stay away from tanks engulfed in flame. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. If unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles cannot be used, withdraw from area and let fire burn.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions: Extremely Flammable. Spillage of liquid product will create a fire hazard and may fom, an explosive atmosphere. Keep all sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces away from spill/release. The use of explosion-proof electrical equipment is recommended. Product may contain or release poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas. Provide sufficient ventilation in the affected area(s) and wear appropriate personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8 when handling spill material.
Environmental Precautions: Stop the leak if it can be done without risk. Prevent spilled material from entering waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Contain release to prevent further contamination of soils, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible using appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or vacuuming. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Use clean nonsparking tools to collect absorbed material. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil.
Methods for Containment and Clean Up: Immediate cleanup of any spill is recommended. Build dike or use other appropriate spill response methods far ahead of spill for containment and later recovery or disposal of spilled material. Absorb spill with inert material and place in suitable container for disposal. If spilled on water, remove with appropriate equipment such as skimmers, booms or absorbents. In case of soil contamination, remove contaminated soil for remediation or disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.
Reporting: Report spills/releases as required, to appropriate local, state and federal authorities. US Coast Guard and Environmental Protection Agency regulations require immediate reporting of spills/release that could reach any waterway. Report spill/release to the National Response Center at (800) 424-8802. In case of accident or road spill, notify Chemtrec at (800) 424-9300.
7. Handling and Storage
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. These practices include, but are not limited to, avoiding unnecessary exposure and prompt removal of material from eyes, skin, and clothing. If needed, take first aid actions as indicated in Section 4.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle as a flammable liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. No smoking. Use only with adequate ventilation. May release or contain dangerous levels of H2S. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and use exposure controls as indicated in Section 8. Vent slowly to the atmosphere when opening. Avoid all contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing product dust or vapors. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Non-sparking tools should be used. Ground and bond all transfer and storage equipment to prevent static sparks and equip with self-closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs and flame arrestors. Review all operations which have the potential of generating and accumulating electrostatic charge and/or flammable atmosphere. Use appropriate mitigating procedures. Do not enter confined spaces without following proper entry procedures. Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash with soap and water after working with this product.
Scales, deposits and sludge from equipment associated with this product may have accumulation of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM). Equipment should be assessed for external gamma radiation.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. No smoking. Maintain vessels closed and clearly labeled. Empty vessels may contain explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or expose these vessels to sources of ignition. This material may contain or release H2S. In a tank or other closed container, the vapor space above this material may accumulate hazardous concentrations of H2S. Do not enter confined spaces without following proper entry procedures. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Incompatibilities: Keep away from strong oxidizers, ignition sources and heat.

Other Comments: This material may contain or liberate hydrogen sulfide, a poisonous gas with the smell of rotten eggs. The smell disappears rapidly because of olfactory fatigue so odor may not be a reliable indicator of exposure. Effects of overexposure include irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract, blurred vision, photophobia (sensitivity to light), and pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation in the lungs). Severe exposures can result in nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness or cramps, headache, disorientation and other signs of nervous system depression, irregular heartbeats, convulsions, respiratory failure, and death.
Information on Toxicological Effects of Components
Crude Oil (Petroleum)
Carcinogenicity: Chronic application of crude oil to mouse skin resulted in an increased incidence of skin tumors. IARC concluded in its Crude Oil Monograph that there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in animals, and that crude oil is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity in humans (Group 3). It has not been listed as a carcinogen by NTP or OSHA.
Target Organs: Laboratory animal studies of crude oil by the dermal and inhalation exposure routes have demonstrated toxicity to the liver, blood, spleen and thymus.
Reproductive Toxicity: Dermal exposure to crude oil during pregnancy resulted in limited evidence of developmental toxicity in laboratory animals. Decreased fetal weight and increased resorptions were noted at maternally toxic doses. No significant effects on pup growth or other developmental landmarks were observed postnatally.
BENZENE: This product may contain benzene, which can cause degeneration in blood forming bone marrow leading to anemia which may further degrade to leukemia, a type of cancer. Acute benzene poisoning causes central nervous system depression. Chronic exposure affects the hematopoietic system causing blood disorders including anemia and pancytopenia. Mutagenic and clastogenic in mammalian and nonmammalian test systems. Reproductive or developmental toxicant only at doses that are maternally toxic, based on tests with animals.

HYDROGEN SULFIDE: This product may contain or release hydrogen sulfide, which may be fatal if inhaled. Greater than 15-20 ppm continuous exposure can cause mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritation. 50-500 ppm can cause headache, nausea, dizziness, loss of reasoning and balance, difficulty breathing, fluid in the lungs and possible loss of consciousness. Greater than 500 ppm can cause rapid or immediate unconsciousness due to respiratory paralysis and death by suffocation unless removed from exposure and successfully resuscitated. Inhalation of a single breath at a concentration of 1000 ppm (0.1%) can cause immediate unconsciousness and death. Hydrogen sulfide is corrosive when moist. Skin contact may cause bums. There is a rapid loss of sense of smell on exposure to gas concentrations above 50 ppm. At high concentrations, individuals may not even recognize the odor before becoming unconscious.

APPENDIX L: OIL TRANSFER GUIDANCE
Transferring any oil to/from a tank presents the highest level of interaction between the oil storage tanks and facility or contractor personnel. Since there is a higher probability for spills to occur during oil transfers, the following spill prevention procedures are recommended:
Prior to transferring any oil into a tank, the person transferring the oil will make sure that the available volume of the tank is greater than the amount of oil that will be transferred to the tank. [Best Management Practice] During the entire time that oil is being transferred to a tank, the person transferring the oil must be a qualified person who is alert and continually monitors the transfer process with an unobstructed view at a maximum of 25 feet from the cargo tank. [49 CFR 177.834 (i)(3)] A person is qualified if he has been made aware of the hazardous material which is to be loaded or unloaded; he has been instructed on the procedures to be followed in emergencies; he is authorized to move the cargo tank; and he has the means to do so. [49 CFR 177.834 (i)(4)] Tank level gauges, if present, will be continuously monitored during oil transfers. [Best Management Practice] No smoking is allowed within 25 feet of an oil storage or transfer area during transfers. [49 CFR 177.834 (c)] No fire, open flames or welding is allowed within 25 feet of an oil storage and transfer area during transfers. [49 CFR 177.834 (d)] The hand brake must be engaged and the wheels chocked on any vehicle that is transferring oil or receiving oil. [49 CFR 177.834 (e)] Do not use tools that are likely to damage the ability of a valve on an oil storage tank to close. [49 CFR 177.834 (f)]

NATURE ENVIRONMENTAL AND MARINE SERVICES, LLC, 18511 Beaumont Hwy, Houston, TX 77049
After transferring oil, any manholes and valves associated with an oil storage tank and a cargo tank motor vehicle will be closed, secured and free from leaks. [49 CFR 177.834 (j)] Warning signs will be in-place that warn personnel not to move oil transfer vehicles until all transfer lines have been completely disconnected. (40 CFR 1122.7 (e)(I)] Prior to the departure of an oil transfer vehicle, the lower most outlets of the vehicle will be examined for leakage and, if necessary, tightened, adjusted or replaced to prevent leakage of oil. [40 CFR 1122.7 (h)(3)] During oil transfer, all associated equipment will be properly grounded to prevent sparking from the discharge of static electricity built up within the oil transfer line. (49 CFR 177.837 (b)] Contractors retained to transfer oil at this facility will be apprised of their responsibility for oil spill prevention and, if necessary, oil spill response during such transfers.

APPENDIX M: DEFINITIONS
Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) - A tank or container designed to operate at pressures ranging from atmospheric pressure through a gauge pressure of one psig measured at the top of the tank. The tank may be sitting on the ground or set on supports such as saddles, skids or legs, etc., and may be installed in a vault. Included are shopfabricated tanks, field-erected tanks, and portable containers.
Bulk Storage Container: any container used to store oil. These containers are used for purposes including, but not limited to, the storage of oil prior to use, while being used, or prior to further distribution in commerce. From 112.1(d)(2)(ii) "only containers of oil with a capacity of 55 gallons or greater are counted" toward the 1,320-gallon threshold. The threshold applies to storage capacity contained in operating equipment as well as to storage capacity in containers (see page 47044 of the July 17, 2002 Federal Register).
Capacity- The amount of liquid that the AST is capable of holding. The capacity of a compartment in a multi-compartmented AST shall be considered a separate and distinct capacity, provided that the bulkhead between compartments is fully welded around its perimeter and compartments are not manifolded. The capacity of an AST shall be determined by one of the following sources:
A label on the AST that indicates its capacity; AST documentation, such as drawings or packing lists; Consulting the tank manufacturer, if known; OR Measuring the AST to determine its capacity. In the case of double-wall tanks, the dimensions of the inner tank will determine the capacity.
Completed Buried Tank: any container completely below grade and covered with earth, sand, gravel, asphalt or other material. Containers in vaults, bunkered tanks, or partially buried tanks are considered above ground storage containers.

Discharge: includes, but is not limited to, any spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the waters of the contiguous zone, or in connection with activities under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act or the Deep water Port Act of 1974, or that may affect natural resources belonging to, appertaining to, or under the exclusive management authority of the United States (including resources under the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act)
OW: Double walled.
Facility: any mobile or fixed onshore or offshore building, structure, installation, equipment, pipe, or pipeline (other than a vessel or a public vessel) used in oil well drilling operations ... oil storage, oil gathering, oil processing, oil transfer, oil distribution, and waste treatment, or in which oil is used. The boundaries of a facility depend on several site-specific factors, including, but not limited to, the ownership or operation of buildings, structures, and equipment on the same site and the types of activity at the site.
MPC: motive power containers means any onboard bulk storage container used primarily to power the movement of a motor vehicle, or ancillary onboard oil-filled operational equipment. An onboard bulk storage container which is used to store or transfer oil for further distribution is not a motive power container. The definition of motive power container does not include oil drilling or workover equipment, including rigs.
OFOE: means equipment that includes an oil storage container (or multiple containers) in which the oil is present solely to support the function of the apparatus or the device. Oilfilled operational equipment is not considered a bulk storage container, and does not include oil-filled manufacturing equipment (flow through process). Examples of oil-filled operational equipment include, but are not limited to, hydraulic systems, lubricating systems (e.g., those for pumps, compressors and other rotating equipment, including

DEFINITIONS PER STI/SPFA SP001 STANDARD (INSPECTION OF ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANKS)
CERTIFIED INSPECTOR -A tank inspector who meets the certification requirements identified in Section 4.2 of the STI/SPFA Standard.
COATING FAILURE - Significant peeling, cracking, spalling, blistering, pitting, chipping, etc. of the coating, paint or lining on an AST, resulting in the exposure of the metal surface and corrosion of the tank shell.
CONCRETE EXTERIOR ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANK (CE-AST) - A shopfabricated aboveground storage tank that includes a concrete exterior. A CE-AST with a UL 2085 label has integral secondary containment that allows monitoring for leakage in the interstice between the primary tank and the secondary containment.
CONTINUOUS RELEASE DETECTION METHOD (CRDM): A means of detecting a release of liquid through inherent design. CROM is passive because it does not require sensors or power to operate. Liquid releases are visually detected by facility operators (See Appendix A of the STI/SPFA Standard for additional information). The system shall be designed in accordance with good engineering practice. Several acceptable and commonly used CROM systems are:

CONNECTION - A method or fitting for fastening a pipe to the AST or an appurtenance. Examples are flanges, pipe threads, pipe welds, expansion joints, and flexible fittings.
CORROSION RATE - The rate of degradation of a material due to a chemical reaction with its environment.
DOUBLE-BOTTOM AST - An AST with a bottom plate integral to the primary container and a second bottom plate designed to provide an interstice. The interstice allows testing of both bottoms for tightness, or monitoring for leakage into the space.
DOUBLE-WALL AST - An AST manufactured as a tank-within-a-tank. The second tank provides integral secondary containment. An interstitial space between the two tanks is formed, which allows testing of both tanks for tightness, as well as monitoring for leakage into the space.
DYE PENETRANT TESTING (DT) - a method for nondestructively testing the surface of a material. A liquid dye is applied to the surface and excess is removed. A developing solution is then applied which indicates cracks in the material.
ELEVATED AST-An AST, which is not in contact with the ground, and which is raised above the surface of the ground or bottom of a vault using tank supports. An elevated AST allows for a visual, external inspection of the bottom of the tank.
FIELD-ERECTED AST: a welded metal AST erected on-site where it will be used. For the purpose of this standard, ASTs meeting either of the following descriptions are to be inspected as field-erected ASTs:
a. The AST's nameplate (or other identifying means, such as accurate drawings) indicates that it is a field-erected AST with a maximum shell height of 50 feet (15.24 meters) and a maximum diameter of 30 feet (9.14 meters).

FORMAL EXTERNAL INSPECTION (FEI): a documented external inspection conducted by a certified inspector to assess the condition of the AST and determine its suitability for continued service without entry into the AST interior.
FORMAL INTERNAL INSPECTION (FIi): a documented internal inspection conducted by a Certified Inspector to assess the internal and external condition of the AST and determine its suitability for continued service. A FIi includes the inspection requirements of a FEI, therefore, a FIi satisfies the requirements of a FEI and shall be considered equivalent to or better than a FEI for the purposes of inspection scheduling. Requires entry into the AST interior following emptying and cleaning. See Section 3 for guidance on cleaning and entry safety considerations.
INSPECTION PLAN - A written plan developed by the owner/operator, Certified Inspector or a Professional Engineer that details the inspection requirements for a facility.
INTERSTICE - In a double-wall AST, the space between the primary tank and secondary tank; in a double-bottom AST, the space or void between the two bottoms. This space may be open or closed to the atmosphere and may be monitored or tested by vacuum or leak detection equipment or by visual inspection.
INITIAL SERVICE DATE - The date on which liquid was first placed in the AST.
LEAK TESTING METHOD (LTM): a point-in-time test method to determine if an AST is liquid-tight. Leak testing is not preventive: it provides an indication only of whether the AST's integrity has already been breached. Therefore, it may only be used as a tank

MAGNETIC FLUX LEAKAGE (MFL) - A method used to nondestructively inspect ferromagnetic materials, such as a carbon steel floor plate. A magnetic field is applied to steel to near-saturation, so that it cannot hold any additional field. In the presence of a flaw (wall thinning), some of the magnetic flux escapes or "leaks" into the surrounding environment, where magnetic sensors detect it and qualitatively report a flaw signal. This method is commonly used on AST floors (MFL floor scan) to determine the underside condition of the tank floor.

PERIODIC AST INSPECTION - A visual, documented inspection conducted by an owner's inspector to assess the AST's general condition without suspending AST operations or removing the AST from service.
PORTABLE CONTAINER - A closed AST having a liquid capacity equal to or greater than 55 U.S. gallons and not intended for fixed installation. This definition does not include a mobile storage container on a vehicle, or one being towed, that is used to store and transport liquids for transfer into or from vehicles, mobile equipment, or another storage container. This definition also does not include storage containers used for onboard propulsion of a vehicle.
PRIMARY TANK- The tank in direct contact with the liquid stored.
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER (PE) - A person who has fulfilled specific education and/or experience requirements under state licensure laws and has received a license to practice engineering.
RELEASE PREVENTION BARRIER (RPB) - A liquid containment barrier that is installed under the AST. Its purpose is to divert leaks toward the perimeter of the AST where they can be easily detected, as well as to prevent liquid from contaminating the environment. RPBs are composed of materials compatible with the liquid stored in the AST and meet appropriate engineering standards. Examples are steel (as in steel double-bottom tanks), concrete, elastomeric liners, or other suitable materials, provided the above criteria are met.
REMOTE IMPOUNDING - A spill control system that uses a sloped spillway or drainage system to channel liquid releases away from an AST to a contained collection area that is remote from important facilities, adjoining property, or waterways. The containment area is sized for the capacity of the largest AST, plus sufficient freeboard to allow for

precipitation. For the purposes of this Standard, remote impounding is equivalent to secondary containment. Remote impounding is further defined in NFPA 30.
SECONDARY CONTAINMENT DIKE/BERM -A spill control system consisting of walls and a floor completely surrounding single or multiple ASTs. It provides a secondary means of containment for the entire capacity of the largest single AST, plus sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation and the displacement volume present below the dike wall of other ASTs in the containment area. The secondary containment dike/berm is to be constructed according to accepted good engineering practices. (Note: See NFPA 30, 40 CFR Part 112, and/or other local requirements for additional requirements.)
SECONDARY CONTAINMENT SYSTEM - Provides a secondary means of containment for the entire volumetric capacity of the largest single AST within a dike/berm plus sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation. The secondary containment system is to be designed to contain a spill until it can be discovered and cleaned up. It must be constructed according to accepted good engineering practices. (Note: See NFPA 30 and/or 40 CFR Part 112, and/or other local requirements for additional requirements.)
STEEL DIKED AST - An AST with an integral steel secondary containment dike. These dikes may be pans, boxes, or containers, and are designed to contain the contents of the primary tank if it fails. A steel diked AST may be open or closed to the atmosphere. Closed-top steel dike ASTs have welded covers or movable rain shields to keep precipitation from collecting in the dike, but open-top dike ASTs do not have such covers. The secondary containment of steel diked ASTs must be sized to contain the primary tank volume, plus sufficient freeboard to contain precipitation as necessary.
SECONDARY TANK -The outer wall of a double-wall AST.

SHELL - For the purposes of this Standard, the AST shell includes the roof, bottom, head, and wall of the AST. Refer to Appendix A of the STI/SPFA Standard for more information.
SHOP-FABRICATED AST-A welded carbon steel or stainless steel AST fabricated in a manufacturing facility or an AST not otherwise identified as field-erected, with a volume less than or equal to 75,000 U.S. gallons (283,906 liters).
SINGLE-WALL AST - An AST with only one wall or shell.
SPILL CONTROL - A means of preventing a release of liquid to the environment, including adjoining property and waterways. Spill control methods include:
Remote impounding Secondary containment system Secondary containment dike/berm Open top steel diked AST Closed top steel diked AST with overfill prevention Double-wall AST with overfill prevention CE-AST with overfill prevention SUITABILITY FOR CONTINUED SERVICE - The determination that an AST's condition is adequate for continued use, based on the criteria presented in this Standard.
TANK SUPPORTS - Structures designed to elevate an AST above the ground. These include saddles, skids, beams, legs, and similar structures.
TELLTALE HOLE OR OPENING- An opening in a reinforcing plate that allows for leak monitoring where a tank penetration hole in the shell has been reinforced with a welded reinforcing plate.

THERMOPLASTIC - substances, such as asphalt cement, that are solid at ambient temperature and become molten upon heating. The application of this Standard is for thermoplastics stored in a liquid form.
ULTRASONIC TESTING SCAN (UTS) - An ultrasonic scan to evaluate the corrosion on the opposite side of the inspection surface using an ultrasonic flaw detector. This inspection is to be performed by an NOT examiner certified in accordance with ASNT-TC1A (or equivalent), per paragraph 4.3.2 of the STI/SPFA Standard.
ULTRASONIC THICKNESS TESTING (UTT) - A point thickness reading taken by a competent person, per paragraph 4.3.3 of the STI/SPFA Standard, utilizing a digital ultrasonic thickness meter.
VACUUM BOX EXAMINATION (VB)-A weld-testing method used to check for leaks in the welds of the shell of an AST.
