RE: Proposed Kum and Go #0951 Spill Response and Remediation Plan
Ms. Morton,
Seneca Companies is presenting this supplemental procedure for responding to and cleaning up surface
fuel spills that enter a storm drain, specifically for the subject facility.
Following the initial Spill Response Procedure by Kum & Go personnel, the following steps must take place
by Seneca Companies Waste Solutions and Environmental Services, and/or Environmental Restoration,
the on-call emergency response contractor.
1- Determine which pump the fuel originated and the flow path to the storm drain(s). There are two
storm drain inlets most likely to be impacted in the event of a surface spill, located at the
southeast and southwest corners of the facility. See attached map.
2- The proposed storm inlets located at the southeast and southwest corners of the property are
both going to be piped to a concrete spill containment structure (see attached), which will prevent
the spill from flowing further downstream. The vault is designed to contain approximately 150
gallons of fuel and allow any normal drainage to flow through to the outfall. Fuel spills are isolated
by closing the gate valve located approximately 2 feet downstream if the vault. The fuel can then
be promptly removed through an access hatch/manhole lid installed on top of the vault.
3- Inspect the initially impacted storm drain(s) for explosive vapor concentrations as % Lower
Explosive Limits (LEL) with a calibrated 3-gas meter. Inspect for evidence of free phased fuel or
sheen within the storm drain.
4- To confirm the vault performed as it is designed, screen all inlets and manways along said flow
path within the conveyance lines for explosive vapors and presence of fuel.
5- If fuel impact is noted beyond the containment vault, place an absorbent boom at the furthest
inlet/manway, and at the storm drainage outlet (open ditch, pond, creek, etc.).
6- Collect a representative sample of the storm water exiting the outlet to the ditch, submit to a
laboratory for VOC 624.1 (Clean Water Act method).
7- Mix BioSolve, a biodegradable surfactant/degreaser/vapor suppressant/detergent with water in
a power washer tank. Concentration of solution dependent on application (see attached spec
sheets for BioSolve).
8- Start cleaning each impacted manway and inlet starting downstream and work upstream to the
primarily impacted storm inlet. After each manway/inlet is cleaned, insert the vacuum hose as far

up each conveyance line as possible and allow the vacuum air flow to remove potentially trapped
vapors for about 5 minutes. Repeat on each inlet/manway.
9- Clean all affected storm conveyance lines with a line jetter to recover any potentially trapped fuel
between manways and inlets.
10- Clean concrete surface along spill pathway with detergent as best as possible.
11- After the initial cleaning efforts, screen each affected manway/inlet for explosive vapors again to
gather before and after cleaning readings. If elevated vapor readings continue to be present,
repeat the cleaning process. Make sure the gate valve is reopened after cleaning is complete.
12- Recover all petroleum contact water with a vacuum truck, recover and replace downstream oil
absorbing booms as necessary, sweep, recover and properly containerize any absorbent material
used to clean up the surface spill, and haul all waste to an approved waste disposal facility under
standard waste manifesting procedures according to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA).
13- Seneca Environmental Services will handle reporting spills to the city of Fort Collins and the state
of Colorado, collection and analysis of environmental samples, and preparation of reports for
submittal to Division of Oil and Public Safety (OPS) and/or the Department of Public Health and
Environment to obtain No Further Action/Determination.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 303-744-2125 or mdimino@senecaco.com. Seneca
Companies appreciates the opportunity to assist you in this matter.
Sincerely,
Seneca Companies, Inc.

BioSolve® InfoSheet
Emergency Spill Response
BioSolve has long been a standard component of emergency response procedures at fire
departments and hazmat operations throughout the United States for fuel and other
hydrocarbon spills. Hundreds of fire departments, municipalities and commercial fuel dealers
purchase BioSolve on a regular basis for use on their fleet vehicles. BioSolve offers emergency
responders many unique advantages for controlling fuel, solvent and other hydrocarbon spills
that improves safety, simplifies operations and reduces cost.
Initially, the most important challenge for
responders to non-ignited Class B spills is to
reduce the risk of fire and explosion that result
from the accidental release of volatile
hydrocarbons. BioSolve reduces this risk by
addressing the source – encapsulating
hydrocarbons to reduce or even eliminate
flammable vapors.
If a spill has already ignited, BioSolve works in
two ways: efficiently knocking down the flame
and neutralizing the fuel source. While foams
blanket the spill and cut off the supply of
oxygen, they do not render the fuel non-
flammable. Additionally, responders must be
diligent about maintaining the integrity of the
foam blanket to prevent the fuel from reigniting.
BioSolve is also an environmentally friendly solution. BioSolve is water-based, biodegradable
and non-corrosive. It promotes full removal and recovery of hydrocarbons by emulsifying them
into an aqueous solution that can be readily vacuumed up or absorbed, leaving minimal
residual product in the spill area. BioSolve eliminates road oil sheen that might pose a hazard
for emergency workers or a driving hazard when a road is reopened. BioSolve will not harm
asphalt and will help minimize deterioration to asphalt from fuel spills. BioSolve also promotes
biodegradation of any emulsion that may be washed into drainage areas.
Protocol – Surface Spills
On small spills, BioSolve may be introduced via a water extinguisher or Indian tank-type sprayer:
1. Add 40 oz of BioSolve concentrate to an extinguisher or sprayer and fill to 2.5 gallons or
mix a 12% solution in an alternative sprayer. Close tightly and shake to mix contents.
2. Cover entire spill with BioSolve solution, working in a circular motion from the outside
perimeter toward the center of the spill.
3. Thoroughly agitate spill area with a forcible stream of water using a course spray.
4. Wash or brush to containment area and dispose of as local rules permit.
On large spills, BioSolve can be applied through a fire hose using a foam eductor system. Set
eductor to 6% checking that inlet pressure and flow rate are matched to the eductor for proper
proportioning. Set standard adjustable or automatic nozzle at hard cone to course spray.

Protocol – Sewer Spills
Fuel spills that have entered the sewer
system pose a unique challenge for
emergency responders. Not only will
fuels remain flammable, but also the
sewer traps and concentrates vapors
creating an explosion hazard. BioSolve
encapsulates the fuel both making it
non-flammable and reducing
associated vapors as it disperses and
eventually reaches wastewater
treatment works.
Tests have shown that BioSolve has no
adverse impact on wastewater
treatment operations including harm to
digester bacteria.
For treating sewers, educt BioSolve at 6%, following large spill protocol described above or
apply BioSolve concentrate directly into a manhole and flush / agitate with plenty of water
from a high pressure nozzle to assure dilution to at least 5%. Where possible, collecting effluent
from a storm drain system for secondary treatment is desirable.
BioSolve is sold as a concentrate and must be diluted prior to use. BioSolve is a non-foaming
formula when mixed with water and agitated. Using BioSolve will not interfere with visual
oversight of cleanup activities.
BioSolve WILL NOT make fuel spills non-flammable until thoroughly agitated with water. Extreme
caution should be exercised in all stages of cleanup operations.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Wherever possible, it is preferable to physically recover as much contamination as practical. Effluent from
treatment with BioSolve is easily transported and treated at a local POTW or wastewater treatment facility, subject to
local regulations. Unrecoverable effluent treated with BioSolve has significantly less detrimental impact on the
environment than effluent resulting from traditional and untreated responses.

recommends, licenses, certifies or authorizes the use of BioSolve on any oil discharge. This listing means only that
data has been submitted to EPA as required by Subpart J of the National Contingency Plan, 300.915.
