INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN Maneuver Training Center

the secondary containment system would flow overland towards the surface drainage
conveyences.
Containment of sheet flow over pervious surfaces is not easily accomplished. However, if time
permits, shallow trenches or sumps will be dug in the flow path to recover as much released
liquid as possible. Once the liquid reaches the surface drainage ditches, check dams or
underflow dams will be constructed. Impervious materials (such as sandbags, a waterproof
covering, or an inflatable bladder) will be placed in front of the culvert to prevent a release from
being discharged off-site. Portable recovery devices (such as explosion proof pumps or vacuum
trucks) will be positioned and activated to collect liquid that has been temporarily contained.
Available spill response equipment (such as sorbent booms, pillows, pads, and clay) will be
deployed to recover residual product as needed. Additional guidance for spill mitigation,
containment and cleanup is provided in Appendix B.
If required, MTC-Fort Pickett will obtain the services of a spill response contractor to assist with
spill containment, recovery, and/or cleanup. The spill response contractor may install spill
response equipment, including floating containment booms, along or around the natural
resources to attempt to protect them from the spill.
16.5.3 Response Agreements And Arrangements [40 CFR 109.5(c)(3)]
Following an incident that requires the assistance of a spill response contractor, the responding
fire department will call in an available spill response contractor. The responding fire
department will provide a written statement to MTC-Fort Pickett Environmental Coordinator
describing the emergency of the response. The VAARNG is then authorized to pay for the
response.
