treatment facility. If a spill were to occur within the facility the surface water flow in this area is
east toward the subsurface storm sewer located south of 10 th Street on Dearing Avenue.

The operations at the FMS #15 pose a moderate-to-small potential for spills. The storage located
within this facility that are regulated by 40 CFR 112 are as follows:
500-gallon Diesel Fuel AST: The 500-gallon diesel fuel tank is a single-walled steel tank with
secondary containment. The secondary containment can be drained to an oil/water separator hooked
to the sanitary sewer system. The tank is located on the north end of Building 1556 next to the wash
pad. Storm water drained from the structure is manually diverted to this system to prevent product
release during a tank rupture.
1000-gallon Used Oil Tank: The 1,000-gallon used oil tank is a steel, vaulted AST that meets all
SPCC requirements. The tank is located at the north end of the FMS compound and centrally
located between Building 1556 and Building 1545 under a roofed structure. A spill kit is located
next to the used oil tank.
Hazardous Material Buildings: POLs are stored in three sheds located at the north end the
facility next to the fence line. The POL storage sheds are equipped with adequate secondary
containment for 110% of the largest container stored within the shed. There are approximately
sixty 55-gallon drums and various other containers stored in the three POL sheds. A spill
response center within Building 1556 can be used to respond to any spills that may occur. 55
gallon drums of POLs are also stored in other buildings within the compound that are used by
the 3647 Th Maintenance Company.
FMS #15 Indoor Drainage System: The indoor floor drains are connected to an oil-water
separator that will provide a catch basin for the residual POLs spilled within the building. The
FMS personnel will cleanup any spill POLs with provide spill equipment before cleaning the
maintenance bay. The oil-water separator recovers the waste oils and discharges the waste
effluent to the public wastewater treatment system.
Oil/Water Separator: The wash pad, grit chamber and oil/water separator are at the north end of
Building 1556. MTC-Fort Pickett Facilities Engineering Division maintains the oil/water
separator. This oil/water separator is connected to the sanitary sewer system and the Town of
Blackstone maintains the wastewater treatment facility.
There are no storm water drains on the compound; however, a drainage ditch, located along
Dearing Avenue, provides a migration pathway to a drainage swale, on the east side of Dearing
Avenue. This swale ultimately leads to an intermittent stream that feeds Birchin Creek.
