4 5.0 Plan Review, Certification, and Evaluation The plan will be reviewed and self-certified as described in accordance with Section Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology will amend this SPCC Plan in accordance with Section and other applicable Section of Part 112, when there is a change in the facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge. The amendment will be prepared within six months of the change. Examples of changes that may require amendment to the plan include, but are not limited to: Commissioning or decommissioning containers Replacement, reconstruction, or movement of containers Reconstruction, replacement, or installation of piping systems Construction or demolition that might alter secondary containment structures. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology reviews this plan as required by the Regional Administrator of the EPA. Amendments are then prepared within six months of the review. Any technical amendments to our plan will be self-certified. Non-technical amendments such as changes to names and telephone numbers are not required. 6.0 Worker Attendance Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is normally attended by workers at least four hours per day. 7.0 Informed Employees As a result of proper plan maintenance, our employees will be informed of the equipment, manpower, procedures, and steps to prevent and control a discharge. 8.0 Facility Layout and Important Emergency Contacts The physical layout of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology can be found in Appendix B. Emergency contacts in case of a discharge can be found in Appendix A. The campus of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is located in Terre Haute, Indiana. There are two creeks which run through campus, which collect the majority of the runoff from campus. Oil and petroleum products are present on the campus of Rose-Hulman in above and below ground storage tanks, transformers, compressors, and multiple 55-gallon drums. The following oil and petroleum products are found on campus: gasoline, diesel fuel, transformer oil, lubricating oil, cooking oil, compressor fluid, motor oil, and hydraulic oil. The products listed are used for emergency steam generation, electrical transformers, hydraulic elevators, trash compactors, cooking equipment, compressors, and motor vehicles. Rose-Hulman also owns a retail gas station located adjacent to main campus which utilizes underground storage tanks for gasoline.

5 South Campus houses various groups. This property has a small pond which drains to a small creek which leads to Honey Creek. Cutting tool coolant and machine oil is used and stored on site. The used coolant and oil is stored in the building garage located on the southwest corner of the building. There are two pad-based transformers containing transformer oil at this location. Emergency Generators There are 11 emergency generators on main campus and 1 emergency generator on South Campus (Ventures). Eight emergency generators are all supplied by natural gas lines and therefore not subject to this plan. Three emergency generators are supplied by diesel fuel and are subject to this plan. These three emergency generators are located behind Hatfield Hall (55 gallons), in the basement mechanical of Hulman Memorial Student Union (300 gallons), and the Sports and Recreation Center mechanical room (230 gallons). A complete list of all emergency generators on campus can be found in Appendix C. Above Ground Storage Tanks There are 3 above ground fuel tanks on campus with a total capacity of 1,250 gallons. There are two above ground storage tanks located next to the Facilities building on the northeast corner of the campus core. These tanks are both steel-double wall tanks with leak detection and overfill protection and are located within a secondary containment concrete dike which provides 100% secondary containment. The drain port for this secondary containment is locked and any fluids are verified by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety prior to draining. One of these tanks is a 500 gallon tank containing automotive gasoline. The second tank is a 300 gallon containing diesel fuel. The third above ground storage tanks is located behind the garage at the baseball fields, which is at the southwest corner of campus. This tank is a 500 gallon propane tank used to heat the garage at that location. There is no secondary containment for this tank. A complete list of above ground storage tanks on campus can be found in Appendix D. Underground Storage Tanks As of July 1, 2010 there are no active underground storage tanks located on campus. A 20,000 gallon underground storage tank located behind the Hulman Memorial Student Union was closed in place. This tank was filled with sand. A 2,000 gallon underground storage tank located outside the Moench boiler room was removed in The gas station owned by Rose-Hulman utilizes one 12,000 gallon tank and one 8,000 gallon tank to store gasoline. The tenant is responsible for all compliance with federal and state laws, regulations, and requirements pertaining to these tanks. These tanks are fiberglass coated plastic with overfill protection and leak detection. A complete list of underground storage tanks on campus can be found in Appendix E.

6 Transformers Office of Environmental Health & Safety There are currently 21 non-pcb oil transformers located on concrete pads throughout the main campus property. There are 3 non-pcb oil transformers located at our Oxbridge property and 1 non-pcb oil transformers located at our South Campus (Ventures) property. The estimated total volume of transformer oil on campus is approximately 6,403 gallons. As defined in 40 CFR (b), transformers are not considered bulk oil storage containers. Rather, they are considered equipment which contains oil for operational purposes. Subsequently, this equipment does not require secondary containment. A complete list of all transformers on campus can be found in Appendix F. Elevators There are currently 9 hydraulic elevators on main campus and 1 on the south campus. The estimated total volume of hydraulic elevator oil on campus is approximately 1,511 gallons. As with transformers hydraulic elevator reservoirs are not considered bulk oil storage containers because their contents are in use. Therefore, these hydraulic reservoirs are exempt from secondary containment requirements. There are currently no drains located within the elevator rooms on campus. A complete list of all elevators on campus can be found in Appendix G. Grease Dumpsters Dining Services utilizes a 1,000 gallon grease pit to temporarily store waste oil associated with cooking processes. This pit is located on the north side of Hulman Memorial Student Union and is connected to the Dining Services grease traps. There is also a 250 gallon double-walled grease dumpster located at the loading dock which routinely emptied by an outside vendor. Trash Compactors and Cardboard Balers There are 3 hydraulic cardboard balers and 1 hydraulic trash compactor on campus. The cardboard balers are located at the Hulman Memorial Student Union loading dock (1) and the Recycling Building (2). The one trash compactor is located at the Recycling Building as well. Drums There are various locations on campus where 55 gallon drums containing oil or petroleum products are stored. There are 8 drums sitting on secondary containment pallets in the Facilities buildings. These contain used oil, hydraulic fluid, and oil used in various equipment maintained by Facilities. 9.0 Drainage Pathways and Distance to Navigable Waters Lost Creek is the main water body which could be impacted by a spill on the campus of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Lost Creek flows westerly through campus and continues through the city of Terre Haute, eventually flowing into the Wabash River. The gasoline and diesel fuel storage is located 130 feet from Lost Creek. A release on campus

7 also has the potential to reach this creek via the network of storm sewer catch basins. Honey Creek, in southern Vigo County, may be affected by a potential release at South Campus as may the wetlands located adjacent to these properties Spill Response, Emergency Procedures, and Reporting The goal of this plan is to eliminate the potential for oil spills to reach affected waterways, minimize human exposure, and environmental impacts in the unlikely event of a spill. Responsibility for spill cleanup depends upon whether a spill in incidental or non-incidental. Incidental and Non-incidental spills will be determined on a case-by-cases basis. Incidental spills are limited in quantity, exposure potential, and toxicity. Incidental spills present minor safety or health hazards to employees in the immediate work area or those assigned to respond. Responses to incidental spills of hazardous substances are to be performed when the substance can be absorbed, neutralized, or otherwise safely controlled at the time of release by the employee in the immediate area at the time of release. Incidental spill response does not require HAZWOPER training. Non-Incidental spills pose a significant safety or health hazard to employees working in the immediate vicinity or to the employee cleaning up the released hazardous substance. This type of release also has the potential to become an emergency in a short amount of time. Responders to non-incidental spills must be trained according to the OHSA 29 CFR Hazard Communication standard or the OSHA 29 CFR Lab Standard. Non-incidental spills require full HAZWOPER training. In the event of a spill on campus, the following procedures will be followed: 1. Remove all sources of ignition. If the ignition source cannot be removed, divert spilled substance away from the ignition source. 2. Identify the release substance and consult the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet. 3. Report the spill immediately to the Office of Environmental Health & Safety. 4. If the amount of spilled substance is minimal, absorb and containerize. Contact EH&S for proper disposal methods. 5. If the amount of spilled substance is large, contain it as much as possible. Contact EH&S and monitor area until trained response personnel arrive. 6. The EH&S Manager will determine if a reportable spill occurred. If so, notification to the appropriate government agencies will be made followed by a written report. Indiana Department of Environmental Management requires all spills over 1,000 gallons be reported. 7. Spills in confined spaces must follow the procedures outlined in the Rose-Hulman Office of Environmental Health & Safety Confined Space procedure. 8. For more information regarding spill cleanup see Appendix G of the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Emergency Response Plan. In the event of a discharge of oil to navigable waters the following information will be provided to the National Response Center (NRC) immediately following identification of a

8 discharge to navigable waters. The Discharge Notification Form can be found in Appendix H. The exact address or location and phone number of the facility Date and time of discharge Type of material discharged Estimate of the total quantity discharged Estimate of the quantity discharged to navigable waters Source of the discharge Description of all affected media Cause of the discharge Any damages or injuries caused by the discharge Actions being used to stop, remove, and mitigate the effects of the discharge Whether an evacuation may be needed Names of individuals and/or organizations who have been contacted Information regarding spills will be submitted to the EPA Region Administrator (Region V) and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM)within sixty days of a single discharge more than 1,000 U.S. gallons of oil to navigable water or two discharges to navigable waters each more than 42 U.S. gallons of oil occurring within any twelve month period. The following information must be submitted to the EPA RA and IDEM: Name of the facility Your name Location of Facility Maximum storage or handling capacity of the facility and normal daily throughput Corrective action and countermeasures taken, including a description of equipment repairs and replacements An adequate description of the facility, including maps, flow diagrams, and topographical maps, as necessary. The cause of the reportable discharge, including a failure analysis of the system or subsystem in which the failure occurred Additional preventive measures you have taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of recurrence Other information as the EPA Regional Administrator may reasonably require pertinent to the plan or discharge 11.0 Routine Containment Drainage The secondary containment dike containing the 500 gallon and 300 gallon fuel storage tanks can collect rainwater and must be routinely drained. The Office of Environmental Health & Safety is responsible for this task. Collected water must be inspected for oil sheens. If no sheens are present, rainwater may be drained. If any sheen is found, cleanup should be completed using the appropriate absorbents and booms. All cleanup materials must be disposed of properly.

9 12.0 Inspections and Records Office of Environmental Health & Safety Visual inspections of the tanks and secondary containment will be conducted monthly by the Office of Environmental Health & Safety. All inspections are documented and the records maintained in the Office of Environmental Health & Safety. These inspections will include a visual check for signs of leaking and tank deterioration, the containment area, and any associated piping. In addition, internal testing will be conducted every 20 years if the tank is not replaced at the end of their life expectancy as determined by the manufacturer. Inspections of the transformers on campus will be conducted biennially and copies of these inspections are kept in the Department of Buildings and Systems as well as the Office of Environmental Health & Safety. Elevators are serviced monthly by an outside contractor and inspected on an annual basis by the same outside contractor Training All employees involved with oil stores on campus are to be trained in the safe operation and maintenance of oil-related equipment to eliminate the potential for spills. All training records will be maintained in the Office of Environmental Health & Safety Security Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology maintains an Office of Public Safety which coordinates all activities related to the local emergency response agencies. Public Safety maintains regular security patrols and the campus is sufficiently lit to allow for the discovery of any spills during evening hours. The Office of Environmental Health & Safety can be contacted after hours through the Office of Public Safety. The Department of Facilities has personnel on call in the event of any issues related to the operation of campus. The fuel storage tanks are padlocked when not in use and only Facilities staff have keys to these pumps.
