c. Spill Prevention and Response Procedures
  i. The Village of East Aurora follows Spill Prevention and Response Procedures designed to
  minimize the potential for leaks, spills and other releases that may be exposed to
  stormwater and provide for effective response to such spills if or when they occur. The Spill
  Prevention and Response Procedures are as follows:

  a) Store materials in appropriate containers;

  b) Label containers (e.g., “Used Oil,” “Spent Solvents,” “Fertilizers and Pesticides”)
  that could be susceptible to spillage or leakage to encourage proper handling and
  facilitate rapid response if spills or leaks occur;

  c) Implement procedures for material storage and handling, including the use of
  secondary containment and barriers between material storage and traffic areas, or a
  similarly effective means designed to prevent the discharge of pollutants from these
  areas;

  d) Develop procedures for stopping, containing, and cleaning up leaks, spills, and
  other releases. As appropriate, execute such procedures as soon as possible;

  e) Keep spill kits on-site, located near areas where spills may occur or where a rapid
  response can be made;

  f) Develop procedures for notification of the appropriate facility personnel,
  emergency response agencies, and regulatory agencies when a leak, spill, or other
  release occurs. If possible, one of these individuals should be a member of the
  stormwater pollution prevention team. Any spills must be reported in accordance
  with 6 NYCRR 750-2.7; and

  g) Following any spill or release, the MS4 Operator must evaluate the adequacy of
  the BMPs identified in the municipal facility specific SWPPP. If the BMPs are
  inadequate, the SWPPP must be updated to identify new BMPs that will prevent
  reoccurrence and improve the emergency response to such releases.

  ii. Measures for cleaning up spills or leaks must be consistent with applicable petroleum bulk
  storage, chemical bulk storage, or hazardous waste management regulations at 6 NYCRR
  Parts 596-599, 613 and 370-373.

  iii. This SPDES general permit does not relieve the Village of East Aurora of any reporting or
  other requirements related to spills or other releases of petroleum or hazardous substances.
  Any spill of a hazardous substance must be reported in accordance with 6 NYCRR 597.4. Any
  spill of petroleum must be reported in accordance with 6 NYCRR 613.6 or 17 NYCRR 32.3.
