    73.   Drainage inlets located in the vicinity of the general forecourt area must be provided
          with signage indicating the fate of flow such as “flows to creek” or “flows to treatment
          system”.
    74.   All hazards associated with bulk fuel delivery operations must be identified and
          managed and measures must be taken to prevent spills from entering Council’s
          stormwater infrastructure or otherwise leaving the site.
    75.   Forecourts must not be hosed down or cleaned with the use of emulsifying
          detergents. Dry cleaning methods appropriate for forecourt include industrial class
          brooming, mechanical or powered sweepers, industrial vacuum units or absorbents.
    76.   Leakage or spills of oils and/or other fluids from vehicles entering forecourt areas
          must be cleaned up as soon as practicable to prevent access of contaminants to
          stormwater drains.
    77.   Spill kits must be provided and maintained in strategic locations. They must be
          appropriate in size, type and equipment to the identified hazards. Kits must consist of
          but not be limited to the following:
          a.    oil absorbent materials
          b.    impervious drain covers
          c.    drip trays
          d.    spades, funnels
          e.    hydrocarbon compatible containers
          f.    appropriate PPE.
    78.   All dispensing installations must be provided with a clearly identified switch or circuit-
          breaker which will enable the power to be shut-off to all dispensing units at a location
          remote from any dispensing unit and easily accessible in an emergency.
    79.   A prominent sign must be provided on or near the dispenser with letters marked at
          least 50mm high with the words “STOP ENGINE – NO SMOKING”.
    80.   An installation in which a dispenser is operated by a customer under the observation
          of a central supervisor or attendant must incorporate the following features:
          a.    a control console located within 40 metres of each of the units so that the
                operation of each unit by the customer is visible to the attendant either by direct
                vision or by means of a mirror or mirrors, or the equivalent
          b.    a control console switch that will cut off the operation of each unit at any time
          c.    a telephone at the control console for use in an emergency
          d.    the dispensing unit must not be operable unless the attendant is on duty at the
                control console
          e.    the delivery nozzle for any dispenser of fuel must be of a type that cannot be
                latched open during delivery (e.g. fuel caps, keys or any other device).
    81.   The delivery nozzle for the dispensers must incorporate the following features:
          a.    a device that automatically shuts off fuel flow when the level of the liquid in the
                receiving vessel reaches the end of the nozzle.
          b.    must be so designed that fuel flow is shut off and remains shut off if the nozzle
                is dropped onto a non-resilient surface from a height of 250mm or greater.
          c.    must incorporate a safety device (safety cut-out attitude valve) so designed that
                the fuel flow is shut off and remains shut off if the nozzle spout is tilted above
                horizontal from its normal operating position.

                                                                                   Page 14 of 171
