The tanks would be double -wall "ballistic" tanks, which would contain their own leak and be impervious to outside damage such as bullets. The tanks would be U.L. approved, and meet all N.F.P.A. requirements. While the tanks are double walled, they will be placed in a "bathtub" which would offer a secondary source of spill containment in the event there was a spill during filling of the tank. Also the dispenser hoses would have "break-aways" which would prevent a leak in the event someone forgot to take the nozzle out of the vehicle and drove away. There will be a container of absorbent "kitty litter" at the fueling station to clean small spills, as well as a spill containment kit consisting of universal sorbent booms and pillows adequate to contain over 100 gallons of material. There will also be a fire extinguisher at the fueling station. Unleaded gasoline < 500 gal Diesel fuel < 500 gal Propane - Would be set up away from gasoline and diesel pumps in standard container/delivery system. In addition, a small amount of gasoline will be stored on site for use in small engine equipment such as mowers, generators, chainsaws, etc. This fuel will be stored in approved, labeled containers, which in turn will be kept in a secure cabinet with either mesh or closed walls, whichever is recommended. The cabinet will be located in a protected outdoor area such as a three -sided shed. In general, the most likely spill scenarios involve relatively small quantities since there will not be any bulk containers of products at the site, with the exception of the fueling stations. All of the pesticides are purchased in 1 or 2.5 gallon plastic bottles and the largest anticipated size of a gasoline container is 5 gallons. The likely spills, such as overfilling small engine fuel tanks or accidental rupture of a gasoline or herbicide container will be cleaned up using available absorbent materials. Absorbent materials will be available in the shop, near the chemical storage and mixing/loading area, at the fueling area, and in the three -sided shed. MSDS information will be available in the shop area, in the chemical storage unit and in the office. All employees have and will continue to receive safety training, including Hazardous Communications Training, Emergency Response Training and Hazardous Materials Awareness Training. The City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Maintenance Facility is intended to serve as the operations center for the Natural Areas maintenance crew. The Natural Areas maintenance crew performs and oversees all of the desired and necessary management and maintenance functions in the City's Natural Areas. Among those activities are: Natural Area site restoration and revegetation, prairie dog management, trail construction and maintenance, fence construction and maintenance, weed control and vegetation management, and various other site and facility operations. The maintenance facility will house all of the equipment, tools and supplies necessary to do these things. DOT, OSHA, EPA or other regulatory entities classify as hazardous some of the chemicals that will be stored in this facility for maintenance use. Following is a list of chemicals and products that it is anticipated will be stored and used at the maintenance facility. Pesticides All herbicides and insecticides will be stored outside of and away from the maintenance building in a manufactured chemical storage locker that meets or exceeds all codes, regulations and industry standards. The locker will include easily inspected secondary containment. On site chemical mixing and loading will be performed in a containment basin, which will allow spills to be collected and properly disposed of. A containment kit will be attached to or adjacent to the storage structure.
