INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN Maneuver Training Center

10. OIL SPILL CONTINGENCY PLAN [40 CFR 109.5]
This Oil Spill Contingency Plan provides procedures to respond to oil spills that have the
potential to reach inland navigable waters. The containment and diversionary structures, and
readily available equipment at MTC-Fort Pickett, are practicable and effective to prevent
discharge oil from reaching navigable waters. VAARNG has retained this Plan as a reference.
This Plan is applicable to all spills at the facility. Particular emphasis is given to the delivery of
fuel to the Fuel Farm and to the aircraft parking apron.
The control and countermeasure contingencies of the ICP are implemented when a reportable
quantity of oil or a hazardous substance is:
• Released due to activities within the facility; or
• Released outside of the facility and draining onto the facility.
This Plan is stored in a secure location at MTC-Fort Pickett facility. This Plan is easily
accessible by facility personnel and vendors who may handle or potentially be involved in
handling petroleum products and/or hazardous substances.
