Spill Prevention and Response Sample Clauses

The Spill Prevention and Response 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 employee training to minimize the risk of spills, and to have clear procedures for immediate cleanup and notification if a spill occurs. This clause is essential for ensuring environmental protection and regulatory compliance, as well as clarifying responsibilities in the event of a spill.
Spill Prevention and Response. ‌ Vehicles and construction equipment will be inspected daily to check that fluids (oil, hydraulic, lubricants, or brake fluid) are not leaking and that fuels and fluids are stored in proper, labeled containers. All drilling equipment will have diapers or similar leak containment measures under the equipment overnight to contain spills. Any observation of spills, leaking fluid, or improperly stored fluids may trigger the issuance of a stop-work notice until the situation is resolved, and the appropriate field measures are implemented to avoid future spills. The Certificate Holder shall notify DPS and NYSDEC of any fuel or chemical spill it is required to report in accordance with NYSDEC regulations and guidance. All petroleum spills that occur within New York State must be reported to the New York State Spill Hotline (0-000-000-0000) and PSEG Long Island Spill Hotline (516-824-2485) within two hours of discovery, except spills which meet the following criteria: 1. The quantity is known to be less than 5 gallons; and 2. The spill is contained and under the control of the xxxxxxx; and 3. The spill has not and will not reach New York water or land; and 4. The spill is cleaned up within two hours of discovery A spill is considered to have not impacted land if it occurs on a paved surface such as asphalt or concrete. A spill in a dirt or gravel parking lot is considered to have impacted land and is reportable. More details on notification and reporting requirements can be found in Section 11 of the NYSDEC Spill Guidance Manual. Prior to the start of construction, the Contractor shall provide a list of the drilling fluids, petroleum products and hazardous substances to be used in the performance of Project work, along with a Safety Data Sheet (“SDS”) for each such material. The SDSs will be kept on-site, alongside the HASP, for the duration of the construction. If, during the course of construction, a contractor proposes to use a product not on the original list, the list must be modified and the appropriate SDS provided to the Certificate Holder prior to the use of the material on the Project. This list will be provided to local fire department and emergency management teams. Due to the different types of regulated materials typically used during construction, different handling and storage procedures may be required. The Certificate Holder will require Project personnel to adhere to all directions and warnings for products used on the Project. Employees will b...
