<strong>ITALY</strong> - 18 Spill Prevention and Response Planning<br />
C18.1. SCOPE<br />
C18. CHAPTER 18<br />
SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE PLANNING<br />
This Chapter contains criteria to plan for, prevent, control, and report spills of POL and<br />
hazardous substances resulting from DoD activities. It is DoD policy to prevent spills of these<br />
substances due to DoD activities and to provide for prompt, coordinated response to contain and<br />
clean up spills that might occur. Remediation beyond that required for the initial response is<br />
conducted pursuant to DoDI 4715.8 “Environmental Remediation for DoD Activities Overseas”<br />
and EUCOM Directive 80-2 “Environmental Executive Agent Remediation Policy.”<br />
C18.2. DEFINITIONS<br />
C18.2.1. Aboveground Storage Container. POL storage containers, exempt from UST<br />
criteria, that are normally placed on or above the surface of the ground. POL storage containers<br />
located above the floor and contained in vaults or basements, bunkered containers, and also<br />
partially buried containers are considered aboveground storage containers. For the purposes of<br />
this Chapter, this includes any mobile or fixed structure, tank, equipment, pipe, or pipeline (other<br />
than a vessel or a public vessel) used in oil well drilling operations, oil production, oil refining,<br />
oil storage, oil gathering, oil processing, oil transfer, and oil distribution. This also includes<br />
equipment in which oil is used as an operating fluid but excludes equipment in which oil is used<br />
solely for motive power.<br />
C18.2.2. Decontamination Wastes. Waste materials generated during the decontamination<br />
of equipment and personnel used during spill response including but not limited to purging<br />
water, rinsing water, plastic containers, rags, gloves, and other personal protective equipment.<br />
C18.2.3. Facility Incident Commander (FIC) (previously known as the Installation Onscene<br />
Coordinator). The official who coordinates and directs DoD control and cleanup efforts at<br />
the scene of a POL or hazardous substance spill due to DoD activities on or near the installation.<br />
This official is designated by the installation commander.<br />
C18.2.4. Facility Response Team (FRT) (previously known as the Installation Response<br />
Team). A team performing emergency functions as defined and directed by the FIC.<br />
C18.2.5. Hazardous Substance. Any substance having the potential to do serious harm to<br />
human health or the environment if spilled or released in reportable quantity. A list of these<br />
substances and the corresponding reportable quantities is contained in Appendix A. Hazardous<br />
substances do not include:<br />
C18.2.5.1. Petroleum, including crude POL or any fraction thereof, that is not otherwise<br />
specifically listed or designated as a hazardous substance above.<br />
