15.1 IDENTIFIED MUNICIPAL SERVICES AT RISK
Personnel at MTC-Fort Pickett are trained in spill prevention and response measures and, for
small spills and leaks, are capable of using available spill equipment to prevent discharges to
surface water and drainages. In the event of a worst-case discharge or other discharge to the

the water treatment plant and provides primary, secondary and tertiary treatment for the town
and for the installation. The system provides treatment for the installation, with the exception of
two buildings and two remote facilities that utilize septic tanks and drain fields for sewage
disposal. For a direct release into the sanitary sewer system, the Blackstone WWTP will be
notified immediately.

plant and 10-acres surrounding the plants. The WWTP is the source of potable water for the
installation, with the exception of one facility that obtains its water from an underground well.
Water distribution mains are located throughout the installation. A reservoir on the Nottoway
