| The railroad industry is required by the Environmental Protection Agency to have a plan in place to prevent the discharge of oil into or upon navigable waters. Railroad transloading racks that handle petroleum and/or nonpetroleum oils with a capacity greater than 1,320 gallons are required to comply with the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan regulations. The regulation specifically requires rail yards to "design a containment system to hold at least the maximum capacity of any single compartment of a tank car or tank truck loaded/unloaded at the facility." | SeeWater® offers complete systems that will automatically discharge stormwater from rail yard containment areas without the risk of discharging oil. The system helps rail yards comply with EPA regulations, which states that the entire containment system "must be capable of containing oil and must be constructed so that any discharge from a primary containment system will not escape before cleanup occurs." All SeeWater® Oil Smart® systems are equipped with audio/visual alarms and dry contacts to allow for remote monitoring. Offerings also include remote dial/signal systems and units that are solar powered in areas where power is not available. SeeWater® continues to develop solutions that comply with the railroad industry "green" standards. | |
