Title 18 . Environmental Conservation
Chapter 75 . Administrative Enforcement
Section 430. Response planning standards

18 AAC 75.430. Response planning standards

(a) Notwithstanding the response planning standards set out in 18 AAC 75.430 - 18 AAC 75.442, the plan must demonstrate the general procedures to clean up a discharge of any size, including the greatest possible discharge that could occur, subject to the provisions of AS 46.04.020 and AS 46.09.020 .

(b) Except for the requirements of 18 AAC 75.438(b) (1) and (2), 18 AAC 75.440, and 18 AAC 75.441, the department will consider and provide modifications to the response planning standards set out in 18 AAC 75.430 - 18 AAC 75.442 for a prevention measure that is in addition to those listed in 18 AAC 75.432 - 18 AAC 75.438, if the plan holder demonstrates to the department's satisfaction that the proposed measure reduces the potential size or risk of a discharge.

(c) If more than one prevention measure is used to modify the response planning standard, each subsequent reduction will be applied separately to the response planning standard value that results from application of the previous modification. However, in no case will the department reduce the response planning standard below an amount equal to

(1) 15 percent of the response planning standard applicable to a crude or noncrude oil terminal facility, an exploration or production facility, or a crude oil pipeline as determined under 18 AAC 75.432(b) or (c), 18 AAC 75.434, or 18 AAC 75.436(b) , respectively; or

(2) 30 percent of the response planning standard for a crude oil tank vessel or barge as determined by 18 AAC 75.438(c) .

(d) The department will, in its discretion, revoke or reduce a prevention credit set out in 18 AAC 75.432 - 18 AAC 75.438 if the department finds that the plan holder has failed to execute or has not effectively implemented the prevention measure used to determine that credit.

(e) Liquefied petroleum gas is exempt from the requirements of 18 AAC 75.430 - 18 AAC 75.442.
