PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   26 MAY 2015


          j.   loss investigation and notification procedures
          k.   record keeping
          l.   training requirements and records
          m.   information on ownership and occupation of both the site and the UPSS,
               including specific contractual/franchise arrangements, defined responsibilities
               and relevant contact details.
          The safety management plan must be fully documented and made available onsite at
          the service station. The plan must be submitted to council prior to use of the service
          station.
    69.   An Emergency Spillage Response Plan for spilt fuels and other hazardous materials
          must be developed as part of the Safety Management Plan and implemented at the
          service station. The plan will establish procedures to respond to identified hazards
          and to contain and dispose of spilt chemicals. All spilt materials must be contained to
          prevent the spread of the material, the affected area cleaned, and the material
          recycled, reused or disposed of in a manner that prevents contamination or further
          contamination of the ground surface, ground waters or soil. The plan must include
          but not be limited to the following matters:
          a.   all actions to be taken by staff upon discovery of an incident
          b.   activation of emergency shut-off systems
          c.   use of spill clean-up kits
          d.   covering of drain entrances and bunding of impacted waterways
          e.   notification of emergency services where necessary
          f.   an accurate set of drainage plans which identify all containment and treatment
               systems and all potential points of access to Council stormwater infrastructure.
               Drainage plans must clearly trace the flow of any potential spillage and shall
               identify the location of the outlet point (e.g. creek, river, etc). A copy of the
               drainage plan must be placed in the two (2) HAZMAT boxes for the use of
               emergency responders
          g.   a flow chart providing an overview of actions to be taken in the event of a spill
               must be prepared and posted in a clearly visible location. It must include a list
               of emergency telephone numbers
          h.   notification of council as soon as practicable where a spill presents actual or
               potential environmental harm (e.g. a spill that leaves the property and enters
               stormwater or natural drainage systems).
          Fuel dispensing area and forecourt
    70.   All ground surfaces within fuel dispensing areas must be made of impervious material
          such as concrete or equivalent (asphalt is not suitable), and must be maintained free
          of gaps or cracks.
    71.   All non-fuel dispensing forecourt surfaces not under canopy must be made of
          impervious material such as concrete or equivalent (asphalt is considered suitable for
          non-dispensing areas), and must be maintained free of gaps or cracks.
    72.   Fuel dispensing areas must be clearly delineated from other forecourt areas by
          measures including but not limited to painted lines on the ground, roll-over bunds
          and/or different coloured concrete. Fuel dispensing areas must be designed so that
          no vehicle may be refueled outside the delineated areas.
