Paragraph (d) of this section does not apply to extinguishers provided for employee use on the outside of workplace buildings or structures. Where extinguishers are provided but are not intended for employee use and the employer has an emergency action plan and a fire prevention plan that meet the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.38 and 29 CFR 1910.39 respectively, then only the requirements of paragraphs (e) and (f) of this section apply.KEYWORDS: Fire Prot. | ||||||||
CFR | 29.B.17._.1910.L.SG.157.(Appendix-A) | [114] | Portable Fire Extinguishers- Appendix | xml | KEYWORDS: Fire Prot. | |||
Scope and application. The scope and application of this section [appendix] is written to apply to three basic types of workplaces. First, there are those workplaces where the employer has chosen to evacuate all employees from the workplace at the time of a fire emergency. Second, there are those workplaces where the employer has chosen to permit certain employees to fight fires and to evacuate all other non-essential employees at the time of a fire emergency. Third, there are those workplaces where the employer has chosen to permit all employees in the workplace to use portable fire extinguishers to fight fires. The section also addresses two kinds of work areas. The entire workplace can be divided into outside (exterior) work areas and inside (interior) work areas. This division of the workplace into two areas is done in recognition of the different types of hazards employees may be exposed to during fire fighting operations. Fires in interior workplaces, pose a greater hazard to employees; they can produce greater exposure to quantities of smoke, toxic gases, and heat because of the capability of a building or structure to contain or entrap these products of combustion until the building can be ventilated. Exterior work areas, normally open to the environment, are somewhat less hazardous, because the products of combustion are generally carried away by the thermal column of the fire. Employees also have a greater selection of evacuation routes if it is necessary to abandon fire fighting efforts. In recognition of the degree of hazard present in the two types of work areas, the standards for exterior work areas are somewhat less restrictive in regards to extinguisher distribution. Paragraph (a) explains this by specifying which paragraphs in the section apply.KEYWORDS: Fire Prot. | ||||||||

{The CFR does not provide specific definitions for Passive Containment and Active Containment. In CFR 40._.1.D.112.A._.7.(c) Containment - Active or Passive" they are referenced only. There it only implies that passive means permanent and active means temporary. However, in their 2009 presentation titled "Top 10 Misconceptions About SPCC", the EPA clarifies the differnce between passive and active. The specifics are given in the following excerpt taken from slide 3 titled "Misconception #1: Facilities must use permanent containment structures in all cases to provide general secondary containment". See link for full presentation.} In some situations, permanent (passive) containment structures, such as dikes, may not be feasible to meet the §112.7(c) general containment requirement. The SPCC Rule allows for the use of certain types of active containment measures (countermeasures or spill response capability) to meet the general containment requirement, which prevents a discharge to navigable waters or adjoining shorelines.

{The following excerpts are from the 2009 Amendment to CFR 40._.1.D.112 issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We are providing them here to clarify the requirement for owners and operators to provide secondary containment at non-rack loading/unloading areas (areas where tank truck is positioned while transferring oil or diesel fuel to a storage tank). The Amendment was issued to clarify numerous different items. It just so happened that while clarifying the requirements for Loading/Unloading Rack areas to have secondary containment, misunderstandings relating to whether secondary containment at non-Loading/Unloading Rack areas is required was also clarified. NOTE: Underlines and highlighting have been added to make it easier to find pertinent language. They are not part of the original amendment text.} ![]() ![]() F. Loading/Unloading Racks (End excerpt) (Start of excerpt) Commenters raised concerns that, because of the new loading/ unloading rack definition, many transfer operations (particularly those at rural facilities with no gangways or fixed loading arms) will not be regulated under the SPCC rule. The Agency disagrees with this assertion. Although the Agency intends the definition of loading/ unloading rack to clearly delineate those facilities subject to the Sec. 112.7(h) regulatory requirements (such as sized secondary containment), any otherwise regulated SPCC facility will still be subject to the general secondary containment requirements under Sec. 112.7(c) for all areas where oil is transferred into or out of any regulated container. (End excerpt) (Start excerpt) EPA also is clarifying in this notice that tank cars and tank trucks are only subject to the requirements of Sec. 112.7(h) when conducting loading or unloading operations associated with a loading/unloading rack as defined in this action. Otherwise, they [tank cars and tank trucks] are subject to the general secondary containment requirements at Sec. 112.7(c). In addition, the definition finalized in this action typically will not include oil-filled equipment; however, transfers associated with oil-filled operational equipment where a rack is not present are still required to meet the general containment requirements of Sec. 112.7(c). (End excerpt) [P&zmp;D Note: Per Page 4-14 of Guidance for Inspectors, generator sets are not considered "oil-filled operational equipment".] (Start excerpt) Finally . . . . . . Non-rack transfer areas are required to provide only general secondary containment for the most likely discharge, as discussed in Section V.H in this action, and may include active containment measures, such as response action or sorbent deployment. This interpretation is consistent with the approach EPA has taken with other exempt containers at an otherwise regulated SPCC facility. For example, in the preamble to the December 2006 amendments, EPA noted that although the amendment provided an exemption for motive power containers, the oil transfer activities to or from motive power containers occurring within an SPCC-regulated facility continue to be regulated (71 FR 77283, December 26, 2006). Consistent with the preamble to the December 2006 amendments, the Agency is therefore clarifying that at an SPCC-regulated facility, Sec. 112.7(h) (including the sized secondary containment provision) applies to transfers at any loading/unloading rack associated with any type of container, including one that is exempted from the rule, as long as the loading/unloading rack meets the definition finalized in this notice. A transfer not associated with a loading or unloading rack is subject to the general secondary containment provision at Sec. 112.7(c). No rule change is needed to clarify this point, because a rule amendment to exempt a loading/unloading rack associated with an UST was never proposed or finalized. This clarification is intended to correct preamble language that was inconsistent with the Agency's position on other exempt containers and their associated transfer activities. 3. Exclusions EPA is . . . . . . . . not apply. Oil transfer areas, such as loading/unloading areas at farms and oil production facilities that are subject to the SPCC rule, nevertheless remain subject to the general secondary containment requirements of Sec. 112.7(c). As EPA states in the SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors, Areas where oil is transferred but no loading or unloading rack is present are subject to Sec. 112.7(c), and thus appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures are required. EPA does not require specifically sized containment for transfer areas; however, containment size must be based on good engineering practice.

CalENERGY | --- | [373] | Definitions of Motor Fuels and Refined Products | page | --- | KEYWORDS: Emissions | ||
DEFINITIONS OF MOTOR FUELS AND REFINED PRODUCTSTypes of Motor Fuel Consumed in California:The state's air quality standards limit the types of motor fuels sold for vehicles to:
Definitions/Glossary of Terms Aviation Fuels: Includes aviation gasoline and aviation jet fuel. Aviation Gasoline (Finished Aviation Gasoline): All special grades of gasoline for use in aviation reciprocating or piston engines. This category includes both leaded and unleaded grades of aviation gasoline. Also includes blending components which will be used in blending or compounding into finished aviation gasoline. Aviation Jet Fuel: A quality kerosene based fuel. This fuel is used primarily for turbojet and turboprop aircraft engines. Jet fuel is typically categorized as for use in either military or commercial aircraft. Bio-Diesel: A diesel fuel substitute or diesel fuel additive or extender. Bio-Diesel fuels are typically made from oils such as soybeans, rapeseed, or sunflowers, or from animal tallow that is blended with traditional diesel fuel or used as a replacement for traditional diesel fuel. There are three standard blends: Bio-Diesel B5, B20 and B100 where the number indicates the percentage of bio-diesel in the finished fuel. Bio-Diesel can also be made from hydrocarbons derived from agricultural products such as rice hulls. BOB (Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending): An acronym for unfinished gasoline which will later be blended with an oxygenate such as MTBE or ethanol. Butane: A flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gas that is used extensively as a fuel for cigarette lighters and portable stoves. Chemical formula: C4H10. Crude Oil: A mixture of hydrocarbons that existed in liquid phase in underground reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities. This category includes synthetic crude such as those derived from shale oil and tar sands. Distillate Fuel Oil: A general classification for one of the petroleum fractions produced in conventional distillation operations. It includes diesel fuels and fuel oils. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 diesel fuel are used in on-highway diesel engines, such as those in trucks and automobiles, as well as off-highway engines, such as those in railroad locomotives and agricultural machinery. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils are used primarily for space heating and electric power generation. Distillate with sulfur <0.05%: Diesel fuel that has a sulfur level no higher than 0.05 percent by weight. This fuel does not meet California specifications and cannot be sold in California but may be exported to neighboring states.
Isobutane: Also known as i-butane, isobutane is an isomer of butane with the formula CH3CH(CH3)2. Recent concerns with depletion of the ozone layer by freon gases have led to increased use of isobutane as a gas for refrigeration systems, especially in domestic refrigerators and freezers. When used as a refrigerant, isobutane is also known as R600a. Finished Motor Gasoline: A complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons with or without small quantities of additives, blended to form a fuel suitable for use in spark-ignition engines. Finished Motor Gasoline includes conventional gasoline; all types of oxygenated gasoline, and all types of reformulated gasoline, but excludes aviation gasoline. Reformulated Gasoline: Finished motor gasoline that is formulated to reduce emissions of various criteria pollutants from motor vehicles.
Lease Condensate: A mixture consisting primarily of pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons which is recovered as a liquid from natural gas in lease separation facilities. This category excludes natural gas plant liquids, such as butane and propane, which are recovered at downstream natural gas processing plants or facilities. Liquefied Petroleum Gases: A group of hydrocarbon-based gases derived from crude oil refining or natural gas fractionation. They include ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, normal butane, butylene, isobutane, and isobutylene. For convenience of transportation, these gases are liquefied through pressurization. Lubricants:
Note: Gasoline sales are reported by grade in accordance with their classification at the time of sale. In general, automotive octane requirements are lower at high altitudes. Therefore, in some areas of the United States, such as the Rocky Mountain States, the octane ratings for the gasoline grades may be 2 or more octane points lower.
Reformulated Gasoline Blendstocks for Oxygenates Blending: California Reformulated Gasoline Blendstocks for Oxygenate Blending (CARBOB): Unfinished motor gasoline that meets the requirements of the CA RBOB regulations promulgated by the California Air Resources Board. This base gasoline is designed to be blended with an oxygenate (ethanol) in order to comply with California's finished reformulated gasoline regulations.
Natural Gas Liquids: A general term for all liquid products separated from natural gas in gas processing or cycling plants. They include natural gas plant liquids and lease condensate. Natural Gas Plant Liquids: Those hydrocarbons in natural gas that are separated as liquids at downstream gas processing plants or at fractionating and cycling plants. Products obtained include liquefied petroleum gases and pentanes plus. Pentanes Plus: A mixture of hydrocarbons, mostly pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons, extracted from natural gas. Included are isopentane, natural gasoline, and plant condensate. Petrochemical Feedstocks: Chemical feedstocks derived from petroleum principally for the manufacture of chemicals, synthetic rubber and a variety of plastics. There are two categories: �naphtha less than 401�F" and �other oils equal to or greater than 401�F." Petroleum Coke:
Propane: Propane is sometimes derived from other petroleum products during oil or natural gas processing. Chemical formula: C3H8. When commonly sold as fuel, it is also known as liquified petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas) and is a mixture of propane with smaller amounts of propylene, butane and butylene, plus an ethyl mercaptan odorant to allow the normally odorless propane to be smelled. It is used as fuel in cooking on many barbecues and portable stoves and in motor vehicles. Residual Fuel Oil: A general classification for the heavier oils, known as No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils, that remain after the distillate fuel oils and lighter hydrocarbons are distilled away in refinery operations. No. 5, a residual fuel oil of medium viscosity, is also known as �Navy Special" and is used in steam-powered vessels in government service and as fuel for power plants. No. 6 fuel oil includes Bunker C fuel oil and is used for the production of electric power, space heating, vessel bunkering (marine vessel fuel), and various industrial purposes. Road Oil (Asphalt Oil): Any heavy petroleum oil, including residual asphaltic oil used as a dust palliative and surface treatment on roads and highways. It is generally produced in six grades from 0, the most liquid, to 5, the most viscous. Still Gas (Refinery Gas): Any form or mixture of gases produced in refineries by distillation, cracking, reforming and other processes. The principal constituents are methane, ethane, ethylene, butane, butylene, propane, propylene, etc. Still gas is used as a refinery fuel and a petrochemical feedstock. The conversion factor is 6 million BTU's per fuel oil equivalent barrel. Synthetic Fuel: A fuel derived from feedstock such as coal, oil shale, tar sands, biomass, or natural gas. Specifically, include gas-to-liquid (GTL) fuels produced using Fischer-Tropsch or similar processes. Fischer-Tropsch Distillate refers to products that consist of neat blends of Fischer-Tropsch synthetic fuels. ULS Diesel refers to ultra low sulfur diesel fuel. Unfinished Oils: Includes all oils requiring further processing at a refinery. Oils which require only mechanical blending are not reported as unfinished oil. Unfinished oils include naphthas and lighter oils, kerosene and light gas oils, heavy gas oils, and residuum. Wax: A solid or semi-solid material consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons obtained or derived from petroleum fractions, or through a Fischer-Tropsch type process, in which the straight chained paraffin series predominates. This includes all marketable wax, whether crude or refined, with a congealing point between 100�F and 200�F and a maximum oil content of 50% by weight. KEYWORDS: Emissions | ||||||||

This is equal to a maximum of 50 parts per million or expressed in a percentage it is less than 0.0050%." Low sulfur diesel (LSD) has .05% or less sulfur by weight.

The US Department of Energy's information on Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel, says that "As of December 1, 2010, all diesel fuel sold in the U.S. must be ULSD." The EPA says in their Diesel Fuel page that "Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel will be phased in for nonroad, locomotive, and marine (NRLM) engines from 2007-2014." Therefore by 2014 you should only be using ultra-low sulfur diesel and not need continuous emissions monitoring.}KEYWORDS: Emissions Monitoring | ||||||||

EPA | --- | [391] | Diesel Fuel With A Sulfur Content Greater Than .05 Percent By Weight | --- | --- | KEYWORDS: Emissions Monitoring | ||
{Diesel made before 1996 had a very high content of sulfur that resulted in emission of high levels of toxins into the air. It's call High Sulfur Diesel. For that reason diesel engines that still use that fuel require continuous emissions monitoring to ensure the emissions filtering devices and controls on the engine are working and to alarm appropriate personnel when they are not.
Why is this important? The EPA indicates in their Continuous Emissions Monitoring Fact Sheet under To Whom Do These Requirements Apply? that new units {engines built in 1996 or after} require continuous emissions monitoring unless they use diesel fuel with a sulfur content that is .05 percent by weight or less. There are three basic types of diesel fuel. They are 1) high sulfur diesel, 2) low sulfur diesel (LSD), and 3) ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD). Diesel has a sulfur content that is much higher than .05 percent by weight. Low sulfur diesel has a sulfur content that is .05 percent by weight or less and ultra-low sulfur diesel has a sulfur content that is even lower than that. The EPA says in their Diesel Fuel page that "Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) fuel will be phased in for nonroad, locomotive, and marine (NRLM) engines from 2007-2014." Therefore by 2014 you should only be using ultra-low sulfur diesel and not need continuous emissions monitoring.}KEYWORDS: Emissions Monitoring | ||||||||

EPA | --- | [400] | Loading/Unloading (fuel transfer) Area Containment (2009 Amendment) | htm | --- | KEYWORDS: Containment Fuel/Oil Loading/Unloading | ||
{The following excerpts are from the 2009 Amendment to CFR 40._.1.D.112 issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We are providing them here to clarify the requirement for owners and operators to provide secondary containment at non-rack loading/unloading areas (areas where tank truck is positioned while transferring oil or diesel fuel to a storage tank). The Amendment was issued to clarify numerous different items. It just so happened that while clarifying the requirements for Loading/Unloading Rack areas to have secondary containment, misunderstandings relating to whether secondary containment at non-Loading/Unloading Rack areas is required was also clarified. NOTE: Underlines and highlighting have been added to make it easier to find pertinent language. They are not part of the original amendment text.} ![]() ![]() F. Loading/Unloading Racks (End excerpt) (Start of excerpt) Commenters raised concerns that, because of the new loading/ unloading rack definition, many transfer operations (particularly those at rural facilities with no gangways or fixed loading arms) will not be regulated under the SPCC rule. The Agency disagrees with this assertion. Although the Agency intends the definition of loading/ unloading rack to clearly delineate those facilities subject to the Sec. 112.7(h) regulatory requirements (such as sized secondary containment), any otherwise regulated SPCC facility will still be subject to the general secondary containment requirements under Sec. 112.7(c) for all areas where oil is transferred into or out of any regulated container. (End excerpt) (Start excerpt) EPA also is clarifying in this notice that tank cars and tank trucks are only subject to the requirements of Sec. 112.7(h) when conducting loading or unloading operations associated with a loading/unloading rack as defined in this action. Otherwise, they [tank cars and tank trucks] are subject to the general secondary containment requirements at Sec. 112.7(c). In addition, the definition finalized in this action typically will not include oil-filled equipment; however, transfers associated with oil-filled operational equipment where a rack is not present are still required to meet the general containment requirements of Sec. 112.7(c). (End excerpt) [P&zmp;D Note: Per Page 4-14 of Guidance for Inspectors, generator sets are not considered "oil-filled operational equipment".] (Start excerpt) Finally . . . . . . Non-rack transfer areas are required to provide only general secondary containment for the most likely discharge, as discussed in Section V.H in this action, and may include active containment measures, such as response action or sorbent deployment. This interpretation is consistent with the approach EPA has taken with other exempt containers at an otherwise regulated SPCC facility. For example, in the preamble to the December 2006 amendments, EPA noted that although the amendment provided an exemption for motive power containers, the oil transfer activities to or from motive power containers occurring within an SPCC-regulated facility continue to be regulated (71 FR 77283, December 26, 2006). Consistent with the preamble to the December 2006 amendments, the Agency is therefore clarifying that at an SPCC-regulated facility, Sec. 112.7(h) (including the sized secondary containment provision) applies to transfers at any loading/unloading rack associated with any type of container, including one that is exempted from the rule, as long as the loading/unloading rack meets the definition finalized in this notice. A transfer not associated with a loading or unloading rack is subject to the general secondary containment provision at Sec. 112.7(c). No rule change is needed to clarify this point, because a rule amendment to exempt a loading/unloading rack associated with an UST was never proposed or finalized. This clarification is intended to correct preamble language that was inconsistent with the Agency's position on other exempt containers and their associated transfer activities. 3. Exclusions EPA is . . . . . . . . not apply. Oil transfer areas, such as loading/unloading areas at farms and oil production facilities that are subject to the SPCC rule, nevertheless remain subject to the general secondary containment requirements of Sec. 112.7(c). As EPA states in the SPCC Guidance for Regional Inspectors, Areas where oil is transferred but no loading or unloading rack is present are subject to Sec. 112.7(c), and thus appropriate containment and/or diversionary structures are required. EPA does not require specifically sized containment for transfer areas; however, containment size must be based on good engineering practice.

A number of advanced response mechanisms are available for controlling oil spills and minimizing their impacts on human health and the environment. Damage to spill-contaminated shorelines and dangers to other threatened areas can be reduced by timely and proper use of containment and recovery equipment. The following techniques may be used during an oil spill:
Scare tactics are used to protect birds and animals by keeping them away from oil spill areas. Devices such as propane scare-cans, floating dummies, and helium-filled balloons are often used, particularly to keep away birds.KEYWORDS: Spill/Discharge Fuel/Oil | ||||||||

Required Recordkeeping The SPCC regulations require that inspections and tests be conducted in accordance with the written procedures that the owner or operator or the certifying PE develop for the facility and that records of inspections and testing be kept with the SPCC Plan in accordance with the recordkeeping provisions of Sec. 112.7(e). EPA believes that visual inspection that is part of the periodic maintenance of the bulk storage container's support and foundation must be documented. Records of inspections and tests kept under usual and customary business practices will suffice. To take advantage of this alternative option for AFVOs, the owner or operator or PE should refer to the appropriate requirements under 21 CFR part 110 to develop an appropriate inspection, evaluation, and testing program for an SPCC-regulated facility.(End of excerpt)KEYWORDS: Spill/Discharge Recordkeeping | ||||||||

--- | [446] | Flash Point (definition) | KEYWORDS: Safety | |||||
The flash point of a volatile material is the lowest temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture in air. Measuring a flash point requires an ignition source. At the flash point, the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed. The flash point is not to be confused with the autoignition temperature, which does not require an ignition source, or the fire point, the temperature at which the vapor continues to burn after being ignited. Neither the flash point nor the fire point is dependent on the temperature of the ignition source, which is much higher. The flash point is often used as a descriptive characteristic of liquid fuel, and it is also used to help characterize the fire hazards of liquids. “Flash point” refers to both flammable liquids and combustible liquids. There are various standards for defining each term. Liquids with a flash point less than 60.5 or 37.8 °C (140.9 or 100.0 °F) — depending upon the standard being applied — are considered flammable, while liquids with a flash point above those temperatures are considered combustible.
