This SPCC plan has been prepared because the facility stores more than 660 gallons of oil in a single aboveground tank and/or its aboveground oil storage exceeds 1,320 gallons. This SPCC plan includes general requirements for the implementation of an SPCC plan at typical oil change facilities. Site-specific information is detailed in Attachment A of this plan. Typical Jiffy Lube oil change facilities are comprised of an office area, storage room, service bay, and a lower bay. Petroleum products are stored in aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) and drums in the lower bay and 1-quart/I-gallon commercial containers in the service bay. Attachment A, Table 1 provides a summary of site-specific storage containers, volumes, and general locations of petroleum products. July 1998 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan Jiffy Lube 1 - 1 1.2 Certification SPCC regulations require that a Registered :Professional Engineer review and certify the SPCC plan. Tiina Couture, Environmental Engineer, with ENSR (an environmental consulting firm headquartered in Acton, MA), has assisted in the development of this SPCC plan. Tiina Couture's certification is provided below: I hereby certify that I have examined the data relative to the facility, and being familiar with the provisions of 40 CFR, Part 112, attest that thi.,~ SPCC Plan has been prepared in accordance with 40 CFR Part 112 and good engineering practices. Tiina Couture Registered Professional Engineer Signature Date Regi~stration No. 57193 State CA Spill I~reva~tion, Control, and Counten~easures Ptan Jiffy Lube 1-2 July 1998 1.3 Person Accountable for Spill Prevention SPCC regulations stipulate that each facility should have a designated person who is' accountable for oil spill prevention and reporting to line management. See Attachment A, Section 2.0 for the name and title of the facility's designated accountable employee. 1.4 SPCC Plan Amendment Requirements SPCC regulations (40 CFR Part 112.5(a)) require that this SPCC plan be amended: "whenever there is a change in facility design, construction, operation or maintenance which materially affects the facility's potential for the discharge of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shore lines. Such amendments shall be fully implemented as soon as possible, but not later than six months after such change occurs". In addition to the above requirement, SPCC regulations (40 CFR Part 112.5(b)) require a complete review and evaluation of the SPCC plan "at least once every three years". Following such a review and evaluation, amendments to ~Ihe SPCC plan are required within six months of the review to include: "more effective prevention and control technology if: (1) such technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a spill event from the facility, and (2) such technology has been field-proven at the time of the review." Amendments to the SPCC plan require the certification of a Registered Professional Engineer, similar to that provided in Section 1.2. July 1998 Spill Prevention, Control. and Countermeasures Plan Jiffy Lube 1 '3 2.0 SPILL HISTORY, POTFNTIAL AND CONTAINMENT 2.1 Spill History 40 CFR Part 112.7(a) requires that facilities which have experienced one or more spill events within twelve months prior to the effective date of the regulations (January 10, 1973), include a written description of each such spill, corrective action taken and plans for preventing recurrence. A spill event is defined in the regulations as a clischarge of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines in such quantities that it has been determined may be harmful to the public health or welfare of the United States. See Attachment A, Section 3.0 for a detailed description of any spill events, if any, that have occurred at the facility. 2.2 Identification of Areas with Spill Pote~ntial 40 CFR Part 112.7(b) requires that the plan identify locations where experience indicates that a reasonable potential for equipment failure exists. At these locations, the SPCC plan should include a prediction of the flow direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil which could be discharged from the facility as a result of such failure. Typical Jiffy Lube oil change facilities store commercial quantities of oil (1-quart/I-gallon) in the service bay and larger quantities of petroleum products in ASTs located in the lower bay. The estimated flow rate of a release from these containers range from several drops per hour during a leak, to 10+ gallons per minute (gpm) in the, event that an AST ruptures. Spills of petroleum product which occur from ASTs located in the lower bay would be contained in the lower bay. At facilities in which the lower bay contains floor drains, sumps, or oil/water separators, spilled petroleum product would have the potential to flow off-site through these conduits. Spills of petroleum product which could occur in the service bay include tank truck loading or unloading, used oil drainage from vehicles, and new oil transfer to vehicles via transfer hoses. Tank trucks typically have 3 isolated compartments each with a capacity of 500 gallons. The estimated flow rate from a ruptured tank truck compartment is 10+ gpm. These spills he. ve the potential to flow into the lower bay or onto the paved parking lot, but are unlikely to reach navigable waters due to the small quantity expected from such spills. Exterior flow direction is governed by site-specific topography. See Atta~chment A, Section 4.0 for site-specific conditions. July 1998 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan Jiffy Lube 2-1 2.3 Spill Containment and Prevention Systems 40 CFR Part 112~7(c) provides a list of appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures' or equipment that should be provided to prevent discharged oil from reaching a navigable water course. Table 1 lists typical containment structures and spill response equipment in-place at Jiffy Lube oil change facilities. See Attachment A, Section 5.0 for site-specific containment and/or diversionary structures. TABLE 1 Containment Structures and Equipment Location of Potential Typical Containment Releases Structures and Equipment 1. Oil ASTs within sealed, concrete containment. (The Storage in volume of ASTs typically range from 100 to Lower Bay 1,066 gallons.) Drums within sealed, concrete containment. (The volume of drums typically range from 16 to 70 gallons .) Commercial plastic containers within sealed, concrete containment. (The volume of containers are typically 1-quart or 1-gallon.) Equipment includes a spill kit containing oil absorbent socks, pads, pillows, and sheets located in the storage and compressor rooms. 2. Oil Commercial plastic containers on shelves. No Storage in containment. ~[The volume of containers are Service typically 1-quart or 1-gallon.) Bay Tank truck loading/unloading. No containment. (The volume of tank truck compartments are typically 500 galilons.) Vehicle oil transfer over metal grate to lower bay. Equipment includes a spilt kit containing oil absorbent socks, pads, pillows, and sheets. The containment systems should be impermeable and able to contain 110 percent of the volume of the largest single tank within each storage a~rea. See Attachment A, Section 5.1 for required volume capacities of site-specific secondary containment systems. July 1998 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan Jiffy Lube 2-2 2.4 Oil Spill Contingency Plan 40 CFR Part 112.7(d). states that when it is determined that the installation of containment~ structures or related equipment is not practicable, the owner of the facility should provide (1) a strong oil spill contingency plan following the provision of 40 CFR Part 109; and (2) a written commitment of labor, equipment and materials required to expeditiously control and remove any harmful quantity of oil discharged. This section provides general spill response procedures for Jiffy Lube personnel. Attachment A, Section 2.0 provides the name, title and phone number of the Facility Manager responsible for implementing emergency procedures. For spills which occur during normal operating hours, the following measures will be taken: 1. When a release or spill occurs, operating personnel will immediately attempt to stop or seal off the source of the release by (:losing valves, plugging holes, etc. The Facility Manager will immediately be notified of the release or spill and given details such as the reporting employee's name, location of release, and the type of material involved. The Facility Manager will then report to the spill area. All subsequent release containment, clean-up, and area ewacuation efforts will be directed by the Facility Manager. If warranted, all non-essential personnel will be quickly evacuated from the vicinity of the release or spill by the Facility Manager. The area will be cordoned off, if necessary, and measures taken to prevent unauthorized entry. The Facility Manager will direct actions to contain the release within the facility's property and to minimize the size of the release. The spill will be prevented from entering any storm drains, if possible. If it is determined that the release is beyond the control of site personnel (imminent threat to off-site areas and/or the potential to cause a fire), the Facility Manager shall Contact the local Fire Department (911) for assistance. July 1998 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan Jiffy lube 2-3 The Facility Manager will record the incident (including the date of the spill, the location, entrance into storm water and/or sewe~r system, volume, and corrective actions and/or control procedures followed) and determine if regulatory agency notification is required..' Periodic updates on the status of the release will be given to the appropriate Company and governmental personnel in accordance with the Facility Manager's judgement. Once all notifications have been made, the Facility Manager will meet with the departmental personnel to help direct and coordinate the containment and clean-up of the release or spill. A number of clean-up procedures can be employed. In selecting the appropriate clean- up method, the health and safety of involved personnel is paramount. The following are suggested clean-up actions, and should not be considered all inclusive. Spills Less Than 1 Gallon on Co~crete. Soak up spill with absorbent, rags, etc., then sweep clean. Place contaminated materials in appropriately labeled drums and dispose appropriately. Spills Greater Than 1 Gallon on Concrete. Soak up.oil with absorbent. Contact outside clean-up professional to contain contaminated absorbent into 55-gallon drums and to facilitate appropriate disposal. Pooled Spills on Concrete. If air driven pump is available, pump the spilled oil into the used oil AST. Have the material collected by an appropriate waste management company. If air driven pump is unavailable and/or pooled spill material is not used oil, contact clean-up professional to contain spilled material and facilitate appropriate disposal Clean-up professionals can be located within the "Yellow Pages" section of the local telephone book, under the listing of "Oil Spill Clean Up Service" or "Oils-Waste" or related entries. July 1998 9pill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan Jiffy Lube 2-4 For spills which occur during non-operating hours, the following measures will be taken: 1. The person/persons discovering the release will report it immediately to the Facility~ Manager. 2. The Facility Manager will immediately determine whether the area of the release is secure and there is no immediate danger to life or property. 3. The Facility Manager will determine il= any immediate actions are to be taken and will contact the approPriate personnel 1:o execute these actions. He will act as the coordinator for all spill activities. 4. The Facility Manager will contact the appropriate agencies then assist in coordinating the release activities. 5. At this point, activities will proceed in tl~e same manner as for a release occurring during normal operating hours. In addition to the above aCtivities, spills which meet any of the following criteria must be immediately reported to the National Response Center (NRC) at (800) 424-8802. (i) any oil spill into or upon navigable waters by way of a storm drain or gutter (ii) any oil spill in excess of 1,000 gallons within 24-hours (iii) any two spill events within any 12-month period Spill Prevention, Control, and Countefl~teasures Plan Jiffy Lube ;2-5 July 1998 4.0 INSPECTIONS AND RECORDS Locations susceptible .to oil spills and potential releases of oil to surface waters should be inspected regularly. A record of the inspectiions, Signed by the appropriate supervisor or inspector, should be made part of the SPCC plain. These records are required to be maintained for a period of three years per regulation (40 CFR 112.7(E)(8)). SPCC inspections at this facility will be performed on an annual basis. Following is a list of areas potentially subject to SPCC inspection, including specific issues at each area: 1) LOWER BAY oil storage tank, tank supports, piping, etc. (check for signs of structural deterioration) oil fill area (check for significant staining) spill kit (cheCk that kit is adequately stocked) drain sump (check for oily sheen) floors (check for significant staining) 2) STORAGE ROOM(S) spill kit (check that kit is adequately stocked) drums (check for cracks) floors (check for significant staining) ;3) SERVICE BAY oil fill area (check for significant staining) spill kit (check that kit is adequately stocked) July 1998 Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan Jiffy Lube 4'1 ~, drums (check for cracks) =, floors (check for significant staining) The inspection form to be utilized is presented on the following page. JuN 1998 · Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures Plan Jiffy Lube 4.-2 5.0 SECURITY AND TRAINING 5.1 Security Typical Jiffy Lube facilities operate 10 hours per day, 6 days per week. The sites are not typically enclosed by a security fence. The facility areas are adequately lighted to provide for discovery of spills during hours of darkness. Facility ligl~ting also acts as a deterrent, preventing spills which could occur through acts of vandalism. The building is locked during non-operating hours; therefore, petroleum storage tanks ar(; secured and not accessible to unauthorized personnel.. In addition, the building is equipped with a.security alarm system activated during non-operating hours. 5.2 SPCC Training 40 CFR Part 112.7(e)(10) states that facility owners or operators are responsible for properly instructing their personnel in the operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent the discharges of oil and applicable pollution, control laws, rules and regulations. Such spill prevention briefings for operating personnel should be scheduled at intervals frequent enough to assure adequate understanding of the SPCC plan. The briefings should highlight and describe known spill events or failures, malfunctioning components, and recently developed precautionary measures. SPCC training consists of informal meetings between the Facility Manager, and other facility personnel, as necessary. During these meetings, to be scheduled at least twice per year, known spill events or failures, malfunctioning components, and recently developed precautionary measures will be discussed. Records of these meetings will be attached and incorporated in to this SPCC plan in Attachment B.

Figure 1 Site Location Map shows the location of the facility. The facility layout is depicted in Figure 2 Site Plan. The following table summarizes the bulk petroleum storage at this facility as shown on Figure 2. This table does not include vadous small plastic containers/bottles of associated motor oils, brake fluids, and other automotive petroleum products typical of site property ,operations.

Jose Fuentes Facility Manager 3.0 4.0 Spill History According to Mr. Jose Fuentes, Facility Manager of Jiffy Lube, no reportable spills have occurred at the Jiffy Lube facility since the operation was established. In addition, ENSR did not observe evidence of spills/releases at the fadlity. Identification of Areas with Spill Potentia~l The majodty of petroleum storage is contained in the lower bay of the facility. No sumps, oil/water separators, or floor drains were observed in the lower bay. No surface cracks or construction joints were observed on the concrete floor of the lower bay. Since no potential pathways of discharge exist, the lower bay is adequately contained. Spills of petroleum product that occur dudn~g vehicle oil transfer and tank truck loading or unloading activities conducted in the service bay (ground level) would drain to the lower bay or travel along extedor portions of the site. Spills that occur dudng vehicle oil transfer activities would discharge to, and be contained in the lower bay. Should a tank truck compartment rupture dudng loading or urlloading operations, site personnel will follow procedures specified in the Oil Spill Contil~gency Plan (Section 2.4 of the SPCC plan). Although, no secondary containment is provided in the tank truck loading/unloading area, a release would not likely reach navigable water due to the small volume of such a spill. 2301 H Street July 1998 Bakersfield, California A-2 5,0 6.0 7.0 The flow direction of a significant spill that would travel along the extedor of the building is determined by topographic conditions. The subject property's paved entrance to the building (north side) slopes to the north then east towards H Street, which in turn slopes towards the south. The subject property's paved exit to the building (south side) slopes to the southwest towards 23"~ Street, which in turn slopes towards the east. There were no storm drains on the subject properly. However, one storm drain was observed to the southeast along 23"~ Street, which reportedly discharges to the Kern River. Refer to Figure 2 for an illustration of facility drainage features. Spill Containment and Prevention Systems The petroleum product storage contained in the lower bay of the facility was observed to have no potential pathway of discharge. As a result, the lower bay has adequate secondary containment. The lower bay containment system is impermeable and able to contain 110 percent of the volume of the largest single tank within the, storage area. In the service bay, the largest single container is 1,066 gallons. The volume of the secondary containment system in the lower bay is 12,265 cubic feet (91,750 gallons). Facility Drainage The lower bay is equipped with adequatE; secondary containment. In the event of a release, petroleum product will be manually removed via vacuum pumps from the lower bay. Refer to Figure 2 for an illustration of tl~e lower bay. Facility Tank Truck Loading/Unloading Procedures The used oil is collected in rolling ddp pan reservoirs located directly below the serviced automobiles at each service bay. Once thE; reservoirs approach full capacity, the used oil is transferred into a used oil AST. The used oil is transferred from the ddp pans to the used oil AST through a flexible hose and fixed piping system. 2301 H Street July 1998 Bakersfield, California A-3 ~ .~.... ,. /~. /' / , ._~ .'- ., ~_,. ~[ , . p ~ ~:---E,~:~' ..: ~ ,...- · :, ~ ~ "'t'~' ~ :' ": 'i '~, ~r"U-" ~' ...~8 X * ..--" [ e . ,'.~~;' ~, 4~ /1~/ ,** ,-' ~/ ./ .--%~' % ,,~,~' :~' , :~ :' '"k'"" ~7 '"'-":'~ ' ~ i , ..... . .. .. . .&/ . ..... oI o . fl~ o ~0 ~',' .'// .' ~ '~ ', ' ~~l -e~V~t~, :~ , ¢~ ~. o.
