Spill Prevention and Control Sample Clauses

The Spill Prevention and Control clause establishes requirements for preventing, managing, and responding to accidental releases of hazardous substances. It typically obligates parties to implement measures such as containment systems, regular inspections, and emergency response plans to minimize the risk and impact of spills. By setting clear responsibilities and procedures, this clause helps protect the environment and ensures compliance with relevant regulations, thereby reducing liability and operational disruptions.
Spill Prevention and Control a. Keep spill cleanup materials (rags, absorbents, etc.) available at the construction site at all times. b. Inspect vehicles and equipment frequently for and repair leaks promptly. On-site monitor should insect beneath all vehicles that have been parked more than 15 minutes before they leave the work area. Use drip pans to catch leaks until repairs are made. c. Clean up spills or leaks immediately and dispose of cleanup materials properly. d. Do not hose down surfaces where fluids have spilled. Use dry cleanup methods (absorbent materials, cat litter, and/or rags). e. Sweep up spilled dry materials immediately. Do not try to wash them away with water or bury them. If water must be used, the Contractor shall collect the water and spilled fluids and dispose of it as hazardous waste. f. Clean up spills on dirt areas by digging up and properly disposing of contaminated soil. g. Small spills (less than 18 inches in diameter) including small quantities of oil, gasoline, paint, or other materials should be controlled by the first responder (maintenance staff) and do not necessarily require an emergency response team. Medium spills (greater than 18 inches but less than 6 feet in diameter) are typically controlled by the first responder (maintenance staff) but police or fire department HAZMAT teams may be called based on conditions. Report significant spills (larger than 6 feet in diameter and any “running” spill) immediately. You are required by law to report all significant releases of hazardous materials, including oil. To report a spill, contact the Santa Cruz County Environmental Health, or other emergency office (e.g., local fire or police department) as warranted, immediately and document the spill using the spill documentation form. Alternatively, 1) dial 911, the local emergency response number, 2) the National Response Center at (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇; or 2) call the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services Warning Center, (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ (24 hours). As appropriate, contact other agencies including California Occupational Safety and Health Administration or the Regional Water Quality Control Board. All chemical spills shall be reported as soon as possible to the emergency site contact. VCLEQ 1. Vehicle Maintenance and Parking

Spill Prevention and Control. Clean up leaks, drips, and other spills immediately so they do not contact stormwater. A stockpile of spill cleanup materials, such as filter fabric, sand/gravel bags, rags and/or absorbents shall be readily accessible on-site. Ensure that all employees know where these materials are and how to use them. The Contractor shall immediately contain and prevent leaks and spills from entering storm drains, and properly clean up and dispose of the waste and cleanup materials. Any spill of material that has entered the storm drainage system shall be immediately reported by calling “911.” Refuel vehicles and heavy equipment in one designated location on the site following Best Management Practices and take care to clean up spills immediately. Wash vehicles at an appropriate off-site facility. If equipment must be washed on- site, do not use soaps, solvents, degreasers, or steam cleaning equipment, and prevent wash water from entering the storm drain. Direct wash water to a containment point where it can evaporate and/or infiltrate, if appropriate. Never wash down pavement or surfaces where materials have spilled. Use dry cleanup methods whenever possible.
