piping, valves, storage tanks, mobile equipment, and secondary containment structures. The
inspections are described in detail in Section 7.4 of this ICP. Periodic inspections for leak
detection are also described in Section 7.9 of this ICP.
Periodic integrity testing is performed on MTC-Fort Pickett bulk ASTs. This testing is
summarized in Section 8.3. Visual observations are performed on the bulk ASTs during a daily
drive-by or walk-around. Periodic equipment testing is performed on fuel pumps, piping, and
associated valves.
Inspections and tests on equipment may uncover conditions such as cracks or slow leaks that could
cause breakdowns or failures that result in discharges. VAARNG personnel at MTC-Fort Pickett
perform the necessary follow-up actions to reduce breakdowns and failures by making proper
adjustments, repairs, or replacement of equipment or parts.
7.8 SECURITY [40 CFR 112.7(g)] [9 VAC 25-91-170 A.21]
Security is an effective part of the spill prevention and containment structures and procedures for
MTC-Fort Pickett. Oil spills can occur as a result of vandalism or pilferage of fuel. The level of
security necessary is dependent on the location, strategic importance and potential for vandalism
of the facility. Security provisions include fencing, locks for valves and control switches, and
lighting and security patrols. Security measures are summarized in Table 6. These facilities are
locked during off duty hours.

Facility-Specific Application of Security Measure
MTC-Fort Pickett entrance gates are attended at all times. All tenant organizations
shown in Figures 2 through 18 have complete fencing around their facilities. These
facilities are locked during off duty hours. The State Police completes random
security checks of all facilities.
The master flow and drain valves to MTC-Fort Pickett oil equipment are securely
locked when the facilities are not in use in order to prevent the unauthorized release
of petroleum products to the environment. The loading and unloading connections of
all mobility fuel and heating oil lines are kept capped when not in service or when in
standby service for an extended time.
The starter controls on fuel pumps at MTC-Fort Pickett are locked when not in use
in order to prevent the unauthorized release of petroleum products to the
environment.
The loading/ unloading connections of fuel piping at MTC-Fort Pickett are securely
capped when not in use.
Lighting is sufficient throughout MTC-Fort Pickett to identify spills or activities that may
create the potential for a spill. Additional security lighting (e.g., vehicle-mounted
floodlights, hand held lamps, etc.), provides for spill surveillance in petroleum
storage areas.
