promptly report any observed oil spill, significant discharges of hazardous and toxic substances, or evidence of a spill by discovery of a slick or sheen on water from oil, gasoline, jet fuel, or other hazardous polluting substance. Spill events will be reported immediately by telephonic means to the USCG Local Unit, District Office or National Response Center (800) 424-8802. On-post spill events (§ 650.203) not entering navigable waters are to be reported in accordance with local procedures and off-post incidents should be reported to the nearest or appropriate political jurisdiction and to the RRT at the RRC.

[blocks in formation]

(a) Medium and major spills (§ 650.203) and any discharge of more than 1,000 U.S. gallons of oil or a spill of more than 500 U.S. gallons of other hazardous liquid substance into navigable waters on or adjacent to an Army installation in the United States will be promptly reported by the IOSC by telephonic means to (800) 424-8802, or to the nearest USCG District Office, to the EPA Regional Office, and electronically through channels to HQDA (DAEN-ZCE), Wash., D.C. 20310. (See figures 9-1 and 9-2 for Regions and Districts).

(1) When it has been determined by the OSC that a spill of a hazardous substance (less than 500 gallons) is in a harmful quantity or that the discharge poses a substantial threat to the public health or welfare, it will be classed as a medium or major discharge and a Pollution Incident Report will be submitted. (2) The format for the Pollution Incident Report is given in table 9-2.

(3) Telephonic or electronic reports will be confirmed by a follow-up written message within 60 days after the spill to the EPA Regional Administrator, the NRT or RRT, as appropriate, and to DAEN-ZCE.

(b) When more than 1,000 U.S. gallons of oil (medium and major spills) or more than 500 U.S. gallons of a hazardous liquid substance (or any major discharge of a hazardous substance) have been discharged into or upon a navigable water in a single spill or when two spill events occur within any 12-month period, this written follow-up report will contain (in addition to the items in table 9-2) the following:

(1) Description of facility from which spill originated; (including maps, flow

diagrams, and topographic maps) date facility was put into operation; storage or handling capacity; and normal daily/ weekly through-put.

(2) Cause of spill, including a failure analysis of system or subsystem in which the failure occurred. Describe unique problems encountered.

(3) Post spill corrective actions, including resources committed, attempts to reclaim spilled substance and/or countermeasures taken. Include a description of equipment repairs and/or replacements.

(4) Effectiveness of response and removal actions by the discharger, State and local forces, or Federal Agencies and Special Forces.

(5) Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of a recurrence and recommendations to improve response actions and chances for reclaiming if a similar spill should occur.

(6) A complete copy of the SPCC Plan with any amendments.

(c) Based on the above spill report information, the EPA Regional Administrator may require amendments to the SPCC Plan and will notify the commander concerned by certified mail. A copy of such report will also be submitted to the state water pollution control authority.

(d) Upon discovery of a spill in which the pollutant may flow past the boundary of the installation, or a spill into navigable waters, or a spill from a vessel, the IOSC will notify the installation Judge Advocate's office to insure that information, records, and samples adequate for legal purposes are obtained and safeguarded for future use.

§ 650.217 Reports on DA support provided to control non-DA spills.

Reports on the commitment of Army resources to spills, either requested by EPA or USCG, or by authority of the installation commander, in response to the provisions of the National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan will be provided to Director of Military Support HQDA (DAMO-MS) WASH DC 20310, in accordance with the provisions of AR 500-60.

§ 650.218 Exclusions.

(a) Policies and procedures applicable to nuclear accidents and incidents as outlined in AR 360-5, AR 50-21, and AR 40-13 are not affected by this regulation.

Subpart J-Environmental Protection Control Report (RCS_DD—I&L(SA) 1088)

[blocks in formation]

(a) This chapter provides reporting procedures to be followed within the Department of the Army to control environmental pollution from existing facilities as contained in section 3(a)(3) Executive Order 11752 of December 17, 1973, entitled, "Prevention, Control and Abatement of Environmental Pollution at Federal Facilities." This section of the Executive Order provides that "Heads of Federal agencies shall, with regard to all facilities under their jurisdiction in the United States: * * (3) Present to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), annually, a plan to provide for such improvement in the design, construction, management, operation, and maintenance of existing facilities as may be necessary to meet applicable standards specified * *

*

[ocr errors]

(b) The report described herein will be the principal mechanism for identifying pollution control projects and those resources needed to effectively execute installation and major command Environmental Programs. Properly defined information presented in this report can be used as a basis for necessary program

ing and budget actions by DA and major commands.

(c) These instruction implement OMB Circular A-106, dated 31 Dec 74, which supersedes OMB Circular A-78 and A-81, dated 18 May 70. Further, these instructions supersede those contained in AR 11-21.

§ 650.232 Explanation of terms.

(a) The terms used herein shall be the same as those defined in chapter 1. (b) The term, "project" shall mean an action to achieve needed corrective measures relative to identified environmental pollution sources.

(c) The term "cost" shall mean the amount of funds required to install the necessary environmental protection measures. These funds include the capital costs of structures and equipment, irrespective of the appropriation chargeable, but not the annual maintenance and operating costs.

§ 650.233 Applicability.

Each active, semiactive and Army Reserve installation operated by or for the Department of the Army, and National Guard facilities/sites supported by Federally appropriated funds in the Continental United States; Alaska and Hawaii, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Panama Canal Zone, and the Trust Territories of the Pacific, whether Army-controlled or under jurisdiction of the Army by lease or similar instrument, where environmental protection measures do not meet the current requirements and/or standards established by appropriated Federal, State or local regulatory agencies are to be listed in the Environmental Pollution Control Report. Each installation identifying a new pollution source or environmental protection requirement will report through command channels in accordance with these instructions. Negative report will be rendered by responsible commands in the form of a listing of those installations where remedial measures are not needed to correct a source of pollution or where no additional resources are needed to meet the provisions of this regulation.
