c. Repair or contain all identified oil, grease, and fuel leaks.
d.
Drain the contents of machinery sumps into appropriate containers. Do not drain machinery sumps into the bilge.
Draining the sumps of oil lubricated machinery or the contents of oil filters, oil strainers, or oil purifiers into the bilge
of any U.S. vessel are prohibited (U.S. Coast Guard Regulations).
e.
Do not use detergents for cleaning machinery. Detergents promote stable oil-water emulsions, which are difficult to
separate and dispose of.
f.
Do not add dispersants or emulsifiers to oily wastewater. Federal law prohibits the addition of dispersants or
emulsifiers to oily wastewater, which is to be discharged.
g.
Do not dilute oily waste with water in order to reduce the oil concentration of the mixture. Federal law prohibits this
practice.
h.
Use drip pans to the maximum extent practicable under potential sources of oil leaks/spills such as:
(1) Oi1 filter and strainer housing drains.
(2) Oil purifiers, centrifuges, and clarifiers.
(3) Machinery lubricating oil pump drains.
(4) Oil drains from gutters around machinery.
(5) Fuel oil leaks from diesel engine injectors.
(6) Run off from the automatic or manual oiling of machinery.
(7) Leakage from oil pump packing glands.
(8) When changing disposable fuel/oil filter cartridges.
i.
Some classes of Army Watercraft employ oil-lubricated stern bearings and oil seals, and/or hydraulically controlled
propellers. Although minor, some oil leakage from these systems is possible, which may result in exceeding the
standards of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Therefore, inspections of oil-lubricated bearings and oil seals
and hydraulically controlled propellers should be conducted on a periodic basis.
13. Oil Transfer. Transferring oil (including fuel oil) from/to a shoreside facility to/from a watercraft or between
watercraft increases the risk of an oil spill. Therefore, oil transfer operations shall not be conducted unless:
a.
There is a designated person in charge on the transferring watercraft/facility and the receiving watercraft/facility.
b.
The watercraft's moorings are strong enough to hold during expected variances in surge, current, and weather and long
enough to allow for changes in draft, drift, and tide during the transfer operation.
c.
The oil transfer hoses are long enough to allow the watercraft to move to the limits of its moorings without placing
undue strain on the hoses and/or oil transfer piping.
d.
Each hose is adequately supported to prevent kinking/other damage to the hose and excessive coupling strain.
e.
Each part of the oil transfer system not necessary for the transfer operation is securely blanked or shut off.
f.
Each oil transfer hose has no unrepaired loose covers, kinks, bulges, soft spots, or any other defect which would permit
the discharge of oil through the hose material and no gouges, cuts, or slashes that penetrate the first layer of hose
reinforcement.
