Title 32 - National Defense
(a) Medium and major spills (§650.203) and any discharge of more than 1,000 U.S. gallons of oil or a spill of more than 500 U.S. gallons of other hazardous liquid substance into navigable waters on or adjacent to an Army installation in the United States will be promptly reported by the IOSC by telephonic means to (800) 424–8802, or to the nearest USCG District Office, to the EPA Regional Office, and electronically through channels to HQDA (DAEN-ZCE), Wash., DC 20310.

(2) The format for the Pollution Incident Report is given in table 9–2. (3) Telephonic or electronic reports will be confirmed by a follow-up written message within 30 days after the spill to the EPA Regional Administrator, the NRT or RRT, as appropriate, and to DAEN-ZCE. (b) When more than 1,000 U.S. gallons of oil (medium and major spills) or more than 500 U.S. gallons of a hazardous liquid substance (or any major discharge of a hazardous substance) have been discharged into or upon a navigable water in a single spill or when two spill events occur within any 12-month period, this written follow-up report will contain (in addition to the items in table 9–2) the following: (1) Description of facility from which spill originated (including maps, flow diagrams, and topographic maps); date facility was put into operation; storage or handling capacity; and normal daily/weekly through-put. (2) Cause of spill, including a failure analysis of system or subsystem in which the failure occurred. Describe unique problems encountered. (3) Post spill corrective actions, including resources committed, attempts to reclaim spilled substance and/or countermeasures taken. Include a description of equipment repairs and/or replacements. (4) Effectiveness of response and removal actions by the discharger, State and local forces, or Federal agencies and special forces. (5) Additional preventive measures taken or contemplated to minimize the possibility of a recurrence and recommendations to improve response actions and chances for reclaiming if a similar spill should occur. (6) A complete copy of the SPCC plan with any amendments. (c) Based on the above spill report information, the EPA Regional Administrator may require amendments to the SPCC plan and will notify the commander concerned by certified mail. A copy of such report will also be submitted to the State water pollution control authority. (d) Upon discovery of a spill in which the pollutant may flow past the boundary of the installation, or a spill into navigable waters, or a spill from a vessel, the IOSC will notify the installation judge advocate's office to ensure that information, records, and samples adequate for legal purposes are obtained and safeguarded for future use.
