2 Background The Port of Port Angeles (POPA) Marine Terminals 1 & 3 are regulated by the State of Washington Industrial Stormwater General Permit (Permit # WAR000337). This permit governs the discharge of stormwater from the Marine Terminal site. The following industrial activities and associated SIC codes are performed under the permit at the site: 3731 Ship Building and Repair (Top-Side Repair) 4491 Marine Cargo Handling 4493 Marinas To protect the waters of the state under the Industrial Stormwater General Permit, mandatory Best Management Practices () are implemented at the site during industrial activities. The site are detailed below and in the site Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) located at the Marine Terminal Office. As a user of the Marine Terminals you are responsible for the work area adjacent to the vessel and for the actions of anyone working on the vessel, be it employees, or contractors. Please keep the work area on the pier clean, safe and orderly. Table of Contents 1.

3 1. Structural Source Control Use fixed platforms with appropriate plastic or tarpaulin barriers as work surfaces and for containment when work is performed on a vessel in the water to prevent blast material or paint overspray from contacting stormwater or the receiving water. Use of such platforms will be kept to a minimum and at no time be used for extensive repair or construction Clean and sweep as needed to remove debris. Dispose of the debris in the proper covered receptacles, never in the water Enclose, cover, or contain sanding activities to the maximum extent practicable to prevent abrasives, dust, and paint chips, from reaching storm sewers or receiving water. Use plywood and/or plastic sheeting to cover open areas between decks when sandblasting (scuppers, railings, freeing ports, ladders, and doorways). At times, windy conditions may force some activities to be delayed until containment can be effective. Airborne pollution is not permitted from any activity. 2. Operational Source Control BMP Train employees on proper waste control material handling, waste control and disposal, and spill response. Keep all dumpsters under cover or fit with a lid that must remain closed when not in use. Clean regularly all accessible work, service and storage areas to remove debris, spent sandblasting material, and any other potential stormwater pollutants. Dispose of the debris in the proper covered receptacles, never in the water Sweep rather than hose debris on the dock. Dispose of the debris in the proper covered receptacles, never in the water. If hosing is unavoidable the hose water must be collected and conveyed to treatment. Collect spent abrasives regularly and store under cover to await proper disposal. 3 February 2010

4 Dispose of greasy rags, oil filters, air filters, batteries, spent coolant, and degreasers properly. Drain oil filters to appropriate container before disposal or recycling. Immediately repair or replace leaking connections, valves, pipes, hoses and equipment that causes the contamination of stormwater. Use drip pans, drop cloths, tarpaulins or other protective devices in all paint mixing and solvent operations unless carried out in impervious contained and covered areas. Convey sanitary sewage to pump-out stations, portable on-site pumpouts, or commercial mobile pump-out facilities or other appropriate onshore facilities. Maintain automatic bilge pumps in a manner that will prevent waste material from being pumped automatically into surface water. Prohibit uncontained spray painting, blasting or sanding activities over open water. Spray painting is allowed only in completely contained areas and must be approved on a case by case basis. Do not dump or pour waste materials down floor drains, sinks, or outdoor storm drain inlets that discharge to surface water. Plug floor drains that are connected to storm drains or to surface water. If necessary, install a sump that is pumped regularly. 4 February 2010

5 Anti-fouling paints containing tributyltin (TBT) are prohibited from use on any vessel less than 82 feet ( 25 meters in length). There are two exceptions: vessels with aluminum hulls, and outboard motor or lower drive units. Only persons licensed by the Washington Department of Agriculture may purchase, handle, to apply TBT paints. The Port requires proof of these licenses. Prohibit outside spray painting, blasting or sanding activities during windy conditions that render containment ineffective. Do not burn paint and/or use spray guns on topsides or above decks. Immediately clean up any spillage on dock, boat or ship deck areas and dispose of the wastes properly. In the event of an accidental discharge of oil or hazardous material into waters of the state or onto land with a potential for entry into state waters, immediately notify the Port (360) , the Department of Ecology, and the National Response Center at (24- hour). If the spill can reach or has reached marine water, call the U.S. Coast Guard at (206) Emergency Maintenance and Repair of Vehicles and Equipment Inspect for leaks all incoming vehicles, parts, and equipment stored temporarily outside. Use drip pans or containers under parts or vehicles that drip or that are likely to drip liquids, such as during dismantling of liquid containing parts or removal or transfer of liquids. Remove batteries and liquids from vehicles and equipment in designated areas designed to prevent stormwater contamination. Store cracked batteries in a covered non-leaking secondary containment system. Empty oil and fuel filters before disposal. Provide for proper disposal of waste oil and fuel. Do not pour/convey washwater, liquid waste, or other pollutant into storm drains or to surface water. 5 February 2010

6 4. Spill Prevention and Emergency Cleanup Store all chemical liquids, fluids, and petroleum products, on an impervious surface that is surrounded with a containment berm or dike that is capable of containing 10% of the total enclosed tank volume or 110% of the volume contained in the largest tank, whichever is greater. Prevent precipitation from accumulating in containment areas with a roof or equivalent structure or include a written plan on how it will manage and dispose of accumulated water if a containment area cover is not practical. Locate spill kits within 25 feet of all stationary fueling stations, fuel transfer stations, and mobile fueling units. At a minimum, spill kits shall include: o Oil absorbents capable of absorbing 15 gallons of fuel. o A storm drain plug or cover kit for pier drains. o A non-water containment boom, a minimum of 10 feet in length with a 12 gallon absorbent capacity. o A non-metallic shovel. o Two five-gallon buckets with lids. * Note: A spill kit with above material is located in the Marine Terminal Warehouse at the foot of Terminal 1. Do not lock shut-off fueling nozzles in the open position. Do not topoff tanks being refueled. Block, plug or cover storm drains and pier drains that receive runoff from areas where fueling, during fueling. Use drip pans or equivalent containment measures during all petroleum transfer operations. Locate materials, equipment, and activities so that leaks are contained in existing containment and diversion systems (confine the storage of leaky or leak-prone vehicles and equipment awaiting maintenance to protected areas). Use drip pans and absorbents under or around leaky vehicles and equipment or store indoors where feasible. Drain fluids from equipment and vehicles prior to on-site storage or disposal. 6 February 2010

7 Maintain a spill log that includes the following information for chemical and petroleum spills: date, time, amount, location, and reason for spill; date/time clean-up completed, notifications made and staff involved. 4.1 Spill Response Spills may be detected by Port or agent personnel, customers, contractors, vessel owners, or the public. Cleanup of any spills must begin immediately. No emulsifier or dispersant is to be used. Oil containment booms and absorbent pads shall be available for immediate usage. In event a spill occurs you should be the following things as quickly as possible: Stop the source of the spill immediately. Notify the Marine Terminal Supervisor at (360) , or after-hours notify Port Security at (360) Contain the liquid. Do not use emulsifier or dispersant. Cover spill with absorbent material such as kitty litter (especially for chemical spills), or oil absorbent pads. Do not use straw. Deploy oil containment booms if the spill may reach the water or is in the water. Paint and solvent spills shall be treated as oil spills and shall be prevented from reaching storm drains or deck drains and subsequent discharge into the water. Keep area well ventilated. Dispose of clean-up materials properly to meet federal and state regulations. 7 February 2010

10 6. Vessel Discharges & Oil Storage Containment 6.1 Sanitary Waste Disposal Most ocean-going vessels currently have or are being retrofitted for on-board collection, holding and transfer (CHT) or vacuum collection, holding and transfer (VCHT) systems. Other shipboard systems include vacuum/incineration or aerobic treatment marine sanitation devices (MSD s). These systems are used to prevent the discharge of sanitary wastewater while the vessel is within navigable waters of the United States. Best Management Practice Shore-based sanitary hookup is not available and the Port of Port Angeles Marine Terminals, either the vessel s sewage system should be completely shut-off or a licensed septage hauler should be contacted to off-load the sewage waste and discharged and transported to a permitted disposal site or a sewage treatment facility. 6.2 Bilge and Contaminated Ballast Water Ballast water is typically seawater that has been pumped into the vessel s ballast tanks to provide the necessary stability. In most cases, the ballast water will have been discharged of overboard prior to the vessel entering US waters. In order to prevent the discharge of potentially oily bilge and ballast water to surface waters, and to provide necessary treatment for the bilge and ballast waters which can be contaminated with oily pollutants and toxins, the discharge ports for these wastewaters must be connected and pumped into some type of collection/treatment system. This also prevents the introduction to waters of the state of foreign exotic plant, aquatic insects, and animal species. Best Management Practice Bilge and contaminated ballast water discharge ports must be connected to a land based collection system or an approved temporary holding tank or vessel. All pumping, valves, metering and coupling equipment must be watertight. 6.3 Oil Storage Containment Large quantities of oil and oily water are collected, pumped, transported in tanks and contained at a ship repair facility. Since oil containment and transportation is a common task at boat yards and shipyards, the possibility of an oil spill is ever present. It is imperative that containment berms around oil storage tanks and containers are designed to adequately contain the stored volume should an accident occur. Best Management Practice Containment booms should be placed around moored or stationary vessels, stationary barges, or lighters. Placement of booms should be to maximize containment of spills. Periodic adjustment is necessary to ensure proper placement. 10 February 2010

11 6.4 Over Water Protection General work and repairs are continually being performed on vessels in the water. This work generates pollutants of various forms which potentially may fall into the water. The use and proper positioning of lighters (pontoon, small floating decks, or work barges, etc.) can enhance the ability to keep pollutants from entering the water. The lighters need not necessarily be used primarily for worker or machinery support but rather to catch discarded materials and pollutants. Best Management Practices The lighter should be used to protect the water underneath and adjacent to vessels. The lighter must be large enough to support workmen and the required equipment. A tarpaulin or other protective covering should be employed. The mixing of paints, solvents or other hazardous materials is not permitted on the lighter. 6.5 Water Blasting, Hydro-blasting, Water-Cone Blasting and Slurry Blasting(Not Allowed) Water blasting, hydro-blasting, water-cone blasting and slurry performed to either clean sediment and marine growth from the vessel hull or to remove top layers of hull paint is not allowed on vessels in the water. This type of operation is not allowed on vessels in the water. 6.6 Pressure (Hydrostatic) Testing Water may be used to fill and pressurize an interior tank. Sign the following certification: I have read and understand the Best Management Practices; and agree to take full responsibility for myself and any of my employees or sub-contractors (employed by me) working on vessels while at the Port of Port Angeles Marine Terminals. A scope of work will be provided to the Port prior to beginning work on each vessel. Signature: Date: Company completing work: 11 February 2010
