GENERAL APPLICABILITY, PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF PLAN

40 CFR 112.1
This Conceptual Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan has been prepared for
the proposed Hounsfield Wind Farm project located on Galloo Island in the Town of Hounsfield, Jefferson
County, New York (Figure 1). The project is currently being developed by Babcock and Brown Renewable
Holdings, Inc. (Babcock and Brown) and Upstate New York Power Corporation. The Plan was prepared in
accordance with requirements specified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
under Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 110 and 112. This Plan includes the changes to the
SPCC regulations, which were promulgated on July 17, 2002.
The proposed Hounsfield Wind Farm project or facility is scheduled to be constructed between
2010 and 2012, and will consist of 84 wind turbines, an electrical substation, temporary/permanent housing,
helipad, slip, concrete batch plant and support buildings. This Conceptual SPCC Plan addresses both the
construction phase and long-term operation and maintenance (O&M) phase of the project.
Each wind turbine will have an electrical generating capacity of 3.0 megawatts providing a total
electrical output of 252 megawatts. The wind turbines will be connected together through an electrical
interconnection line that is both aboveground as well as subsurface, which transmits the generated power to
the electrical substation. At the substation, the electricity will be transformed and sold as a commodity to the
power company through an electric transmission line located on the New York State mainland. Figures 2 and
3 illustrate the facility layout, with the location of the turbines, the electrical substation, adjacent transmission
lines, and elevation contours. Figures 2, 3, 5, and 6 illustrate the site features adjacent to typical wind farm
components, topographic features, and the direction of flow in the event of an oil spill.
The proposed facility will have multiple areas of oil storage and use, including electrical transformer
oil, yaw oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, diesel fuel and drummed or containerized oil. The majority of oil stored at
the wind farm will be stored in the diesel fuel aboveground storages tanks (ASTs), the primary pad-mounted
power transformers in the electrical substation and within each of the 84 wind turbine nacelles. Requirements
of 40 CFR Parts 110 and 112 specify that an SPCC Plan be developed and implemented for facilities with
more than 1,320 gallons of oil stored on site in containers 55-gallons in size or larger. Based on this
requirement, and the quantities of oil stored/used on-site, the proposed facility requires an SPCC Plan.
This Conceptual SPCC Plan describes the equipment, structures, and procedures designed to prevent
the discharge of oil from the proposed facility into or upon the navigable waters of the United States. This
Conceptual SPCC Plan complies with the provisions of 40 CFR Parts 110 and 112 and has been reviewed and
1-1
1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
certified by a Registered Professional Engineer familiar with the site and the SPCC Plan regulatory
requirements. Certification for Applicability of the Substantial Harm Criteria is contained in Appendix A.
Even though the facilitys total oil capacity will be greater than 42,000 gallons and it will receive oil
over water, the checklist in Appendix A determined that the facility will not require a Facility Specific
Response Plan (40 CFR 112 Appendix F) because the ASTs are greater than 1.8 miles inland from the slip,
and the amount of oil transferred over water is less than 5,000 gallons per week.
As required by 40 CFR 112.3(e), this Conceptual SPCC Plan will be kept on file at the proposed
facilitys O&M building (Figure 3) and will be available for regulatory agency review upon request during
normal working hours. Upon completion of the proposed facility, this Plan will be modified to reflect any
changes between the proposed and actual construction. As required by 40 CFR 112.5, this Plan will also be
reviewed once every five years, and amended within six months of the review, if required. In addition, this
Plan will be amended within six months of any modification of operations conducted at the proposed facility,
if the modification could result in the discharge of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States.
All amendments to this Conceptual SPCC Plan will be certified by a qualified, registered, professional
engineer.
During construction of this facility, spill prevention/containment measures will be implemented in
accordance with applicable regulations (i.e. New York State Department of Transportation). Spill response
and reporting during construction will be in accordance with Section 4.0 of this Plan.
This is a Conceptual SPCC Plan, so reviews of this Plan per 40 CFR Part 112.5 have yet to be
conducted.
This Conceptual SPCC Plan does not follow the exact order presented in 40 CFR Part 112. Section
headings identify, where appropriate, the relevant section(s) of the SPCC rule. The following table presents a
cross-reference of Conceptual SPCC Plan sections relative to applicable parts of 40 CFR Part 112.

SPILL PROTECTION PLAN
4.1
Prior Spills
40 CFR 112.4
At the time of the publication of this plan, the only actions that occurred with regards to the proposed
Hounsfield Wind Farm site were surveying and design related activities. No spills of reportable quantities of
oil, as outlined in the reporting requirements (40 CFR 112.4), have occurred at this site in the past three (3)
years. The proposed Hounsfield Wind Farm will begin construction in 2010 and begin operation in 2012.
4.2
Potential Spills
40 CFR 112.7(b)
If oil spills or leaks occur at the site, they may reach Lake Ontario (which surrounds the facility) via
the storm water routes described in Section 4.4 of this plan (see Figures 2 and 3).
The table on the following page presents expected volume, discharge rate and general direction of
flow in the event of equipment failure, and means of secondary containment for different parts of the facility
where oil is stored, used, or handled.
4.2.1
Construction Phase
Oil spills or leaks at the site during construction of this facility would most likely occur as a result of
four possible events:

1) Fuel tank failure Ruptures in the fuel tanks of construction vehicles (i.e., dump trucks, front end
loaders, cranes, etc.) or ASTs may be the result of defective materials, defective workmanship,
damage from mobile equipment, corrosion, fire, or damage from storms, tornados, or high winds.
The volume of spill at each tank is dependent on that tank (i.e., 50-6,000 gallons).
2) Overfill/spills during container loading/unloading operations Oil may be spilled due to
accidents involving containers or temporary fuel tanks (vehicles, generators, etc.). These
accidents typically include overfilling or spills such as punctures, leaks, corrosion, improper
storage, etc. Every effort will be taken during truck unloading activities to prevent damage to
petroleum containers, etc. and thus the creation of spills. Temporary or permanent containment
structures will be provided, as required. These types of spills are often due to operator error, but
4-1
1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
sometimes can be the result of defective equipment. These spills are the most common types of
spills, and spill prevention should be emphasized during employee training.

3) Hose failure - A break in piping or a hose will cause the contents to be pumped or drained onto
the ground. This failure can occur as a result of damage to the pipe, hose, defective connections,
or errors by facility personnel.
4) Oil drum/container rupture or puncture - A rupture caused by equipment puncture or corrosion
could release oil to the ground. Leakage due to corrosion or loose fittings may also occur.
4.2.2
Operation and Maintenance Phase

Oil spills or leaks at the site would most likely occur as a result of four possible events:
1) Turbine failures - Ruptures in container walls, turbine bearing failures, turbine gear oil seal
failure, oil pan housing failures, etc. may be the result of defective materials, defective workmanship, damage from mobile equipment, corrosion, fire, or damage from storms, tornados, or high
4-2
1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
winds. The volume of spill at each turbine could be 66 gallons (from the equipment in the
nacelle).
2) Fuel tank failure Ruptures in the fuel tanks of service vehicles or ASTs may be the result of
defective materials, defective workmanship, damage from mobile equipment, corrosion, fire, or
damage from storms, tornados, or high winds. The volume of spill at each tank is dependent on
the tank capacity (i.e., 50-6,000 gallons).
3) Overfill/spills during container loading/unloading operations Oil may be spilled due to
accidents involving containers or fuel tanks (i.e., vehicles, generator AST, etc.). These accidents
typically include overfilling or spills such as punctures, leaks, corrosion, improper storage, etc.
Every effort will be taken during truck unloading activities to prevent damage to petroleum
containers, etc. and thus the creation of spills. Temporary or permanent containment structures
will be provided, as required. These types of spills are often due to operator error, but sometimes
can be the result of defective equipment. These spills are the most common types of spills, and
spill prevention should be emphasized during employee training.
4) Hose failure - A break in piping or a hose will cause the contents to be pumped or drained into
containment areas or onto the ground. This failure can occur as a result of damage to the pipe,
hose, defective connections, or errors by facility personnel.
5) Oil drum/container rupture or puncture - A rupture caused by equipment puncture or corrosion
could release oil to the ground. Leakage due to corrosion or loose fittings may also occur.
The turbine gearbox and hydraulic station located in the nacelle are not required to have secondary
containment. Any potential releases would be detected visually and corrective action implemented. In the
unlikely event that a turbine had a release of the entire 66 gallons of oil stored in the equipment, the oil would
flow overland for a relatively short distance and would be absorbed into the soils on site or immediately down
gradient of the site (see Spill Route Maps presented as Figures 3, 5, and 6).
4.3
Spill Containment/Control Equipment and Structures

40 CFR 112.7(c)
All ASTs to be used at this facility will be constructed of steel, in accordance with industry
specifications as described in Section 2.4 of this plan. The design and construction of all bulk storage
containers will be compatible with the characteristics of the oil product they contain, and with temperature
and pressure conditions.
4-3
1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
AST piping will be made of steel and placed aboveground on appropriate supports designed to
minimize erosion and stress. Supply piping to equipment may be fiberglass or steel and designed in
accordance with industry wide standards.
4.3.1
Construction Phase
If a release of diesel fuel would occur from any of the ASTs listed in Section 2.4 of this plan, the
product would be retained within the annular space between the primary and secondary walls of that ASTs
double walled system.
Service vehicles equipped with spill kits will be present during construction. Such spill kits will be
assembled with equipment that will address the type/quantity of spill that may occur at any given time during
construction (i.e. Speedi Dry, booms, etc.).
4.3.2

If a release of diesel fuel would occur from any of the ASTs listed in Section 2.4 of this plan, the
product would be retained within the annular space between the primary and secondary walls of that ASTs
double walled system.
If a release of transformer oil were to occur from the electrical substation transformer, the oil would
be retained in the permanent concrete secondary containment dike designed to contain over 110 percent of the
transformer oil.
Spill kits will be stored in the Storage building. Such spill kits will be assembled with equipment that
will address the type/quantity of spill that may occur at any given time (i.e. Speedi Dry, booms, etc.).
4.4
Facility Drainage
40 CFR 112.7(c) and 40 CFR 112.8(b)
Storm water flows overland at all locations throughout the wind farm area. The site has no
designated storm water outfalls. Any storm water will travel down from the turbine locations and/or ASTs
towards Lake Ontario or low-lying interior areas, via surficial topography (see Figures 2, 3, 5, and 6).
All proposed ASTs will be of double walled construction, which will protect them from storm water
contact.
4-4
1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
Additionally, oil storage at the wind farm includes oil-filled gearboxes and hydraulics located in the
nacelle of each wind turbine. Oil stored within these units will be protected from storm water contact.
However, should a release occur, a maximum of 66 gallons of oil could be carried by storm water down
towards Lake Ontario or low lying interior areas (see Figures 2, 5 & 6).
Another discharge prevention measures will include the use of spill buckets surrounding the fill ports
on the ASTs. The spill buckets will be routinely inspected for liquids and any accumulated water and oil
pumped out.
4.5
Loading/Unloading Procedures
40 CFR 112.7(h) & 40 CFR 112.8(d)
Throughout every phase of this project, oil (i.e., diesel fuel, lube oil, etc.) will be delivered to the site
via trucks (i.e., tanker trucks, box trucks with 55-gallon drums, etc.) on barges. These barges will be offloaded at the temporary off-loading facility and/or proposed permanent slip located along the southeast coast
of Galloo Island (see Figures 2 and 4). Such off-loading will also be conducted in accordance with U.S.
Coast Guard Regulation 33 CFR 126 (Handling of Dangerous Cargo at Waterfront Facilities).
Please Note: Oil transfer operations will not be conducted on the temporary off-loading facility,
proposed permanent slip or the adjacent 5-acre off-loading/staging area.
All oil suppliers must meet the minimum requirements and regulations for tank truck
loading/unloading established by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Babcock and Brown and Upstate
New York Power Corporation will ensure that oil delivery vendors understand the site layout, know the
protocol for entering the facility and unloading product, and have the necessary equipment to respond to a
discharge from the vehicle or fuel delivery hose. The EHS Coordinator or his/her designee supervises oil
deliveries for all new suppliers, and periodically observes deliveries for existing, approved suppliers. All

4.5.1
Construction Phase
Construction vehicles will be refueled off-site, or by refueling trucks owned and operated by
independent contractors.
4.6
Conformance with Applicable State and Local Requirements

40 CFR 112.7(j)
Aboveground storage tanks #001 through #007 (see Section 2.4) will be registered with the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) in accordance with their Petroleum Bulk
Storage (PBS) regulations. These ASTs will meet the requirements of 6 NYCRR 614.9(a) and will be
inspected monthly, per 6 NYCRR 613.6(a).
4.7
Tank Containment and Spill Response

40 CFR 112.7(c) and 40 CFR 112.8(c)
To satisfy 40 CFR 112.8(c)(8), all ASTs will be equipped with a direct-reading level gauge, and
facility personnel will be present throughout the filling operations to monitor the product level in the tanks.
4.7.1
Construction Phase
There are no field-constructed tanks at the facility; all tanks will be shop-built. The shell thickness of
all of the steel ASTs will be less than one-half inch. As discussed in the American Petroleum Institute (API)
Standard 653 Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction (API-653), brittle fracture is not a
concern for tanks that have a shell thickness of less than one-half inch. Therefore, brittle fracture evaluation
per 40 CFR 112.7(i) is not required.
The ASTs will be of double-walled steel construction and provide intrinsic secondary containment for
110 percent of the tank capacities. Since the secondary containment is not open to precipitation, the volumes
are sufficient to fully contain the product in the event of a leak from the primary container. The interstitial
space between the primary and secondary containers is inspected on a monthly basis to detect any leak of
product from the primary container.
There will be no corrosion protection system, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(4).
There will be no tank heating coils, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(7).
No effluent treatment systems, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(9), will be installed at the facility.
4-7
1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
4.7.2

The quantity of diesel fuel required during the O&M phase of the project will be significantly
reduced. The power generation system will only be required in the event of a power outage since electric
power will likely be provided by the wind farm or directly from the tie-in to the grid. In addition, the
requirement to heat the temporary housing will be greatly reduced or eliminated. Therefore, it is anticipated
that three of the five 6,000-gallon diesel ASTs will be taken out of service. In addition, construction related
fuel requirements will not be needed which will allow for the decommissioning of the AST at the batch plant
and refueling trucks, etc.
There are no field-constructed tanks at the facility; all tanks will be shop-built. The shell thickness of
all of the steel ASTs will be less than one-half inch. As discussed in the American Petroleum Institute (API)
Standard 653 Tank Inspection, Repair, Alteration, and Reconstruction (API-653), brittle fracture is not a
concern for tanks that have a shell thickness of less than one-half inch. Therefore, brittle fracture evaluation
per 40 CFR 112.7(i) is not required.
The ASTs will be of double-walled steel construction and provide intrinsic secondary containment for
110 percent of the tank capacities. Since the secondary containment is not open to precipitation, the volumes
are sufficient to fully contain the product in the event of a leak from the primary container. The interstitial
space between the primary and secondary containers is inspected on a monthly basis to detect any leak of
product from the primary container.
There will be no corrosion protection system, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(4).
There will be no tank heating coils, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(7).
No effluent treatment systems, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(9), will be installed at the facility.
There will not be any partially buried or bunkered storage tanks, per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(5).
4.8
Turbine Oil Containment and Spill Response

40 CFR 112.7(c)
1) The proposed wind farm will have 84 wind turbines, each of which will contain approximately
66 gallons of gear oil, along with yaw and hydraulic oil. The turbines have internal collection
systems that are designed to prevent leaks from spreading outside their nacelles. They are also
located on concrete pads allowing visual inspection. Each turbine will be inspected from the
ground on a weekly basis. In addition, routine O&M activities are conducted on turbine
4-8

1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
equipment every six months at which time gear oil, hydraulic oil and yaw oil are topped off or
changed out. Additional O&M work completed at this time would include lubrication and filter
change outs. The equipment will be inspected at that time and documented on inspection forms
similar to those contained in Appendix C. A spill kit, stored at the Storage Building, will be used
in the event of any leak or spill.
2) Personnel who observe visible oil leaks, which result in a loss of oil from the turbine gear box,
hydraulic system, or leaking fittings large enough to cause an accumulation of oil on the concrete
pad, surrounding soil, or on the turbine tower, shall notify the EHS Coordinator or designee. The
EHS Coordinator or designee will ensure the turbine will be promptly repaired. If the leak is not
repairable, the turbine will be removed from service until such time the oil leak can be repaired
or the malfunctioning parts can be replaced.
4.9
Transformer Oil Containment and Spill Response

40 CFR 112.7(c)
1) The electrical substation facility will be equipped with four pad-mounted electrical transformers
containing an estimated 12,000 to 15,000-gallons of transformer oil each (48,000 to 60,000gallons total). These transformers will be equipped with a concrete secondary containment
structure designed to contain 110% of the entire contents of a single transformer in case of a
failure. The transformers will be formally inspected monthly, and these inspections will be
documented on the inspection forms contained in Appendix C. In addition to the formal monthly
inspections, informal inspections are also performed during the course of each week as part of the
routine operations of the site. Based on O&M employee schedules and routine maintenance, any
leaks from the equipment should be observed within 48 hours (during the work week) to 72 hours
(during the weekend) of occurrence.
2) Each wind turbine will have its own step up dry-type transformer located within the rear portion
of the turbine nacelle. These transformers are not subject to 40 CFR 110 and 40 CFR 112 since
they do not contain transformer oils.
3) Personnel who observe oil leaks, which result in a loss of oil from transformer puncture, leakage,
electrical failure, leaking fittings, or acts of god, large enough to cause an accumulation of oil in
the concrete secondary containment structure shall notify the EHS Coordinator or designee. The
EHS Coordinator or designee will ensure the transformer is promptly repaired. If the leak is not
4-9
1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
repairable, the transformer contents will be transferred to a temporary storage tank and the
transformer repaired or replaced.
4) Dikes surrounding the transformers will be drained monthly, or immediately after a significant
rain event.
5) Each transformer will have a gauge indicating the level of dielectric fluid within it.
4.10
Drum Containment and Spill Response

40 CFR 112.7(c)
Storage drums are not refilled, and therefore overfill prevention systems per 40 CFR 112.8(c)(8) do
not apply.
4.10.1 Construction and Start-Up Phase
1) If 55-gallon drums of oil are used during facility construction and start-up, they will be stored onsite, on secondary containment structures. Unused oil will be stored in 5-gallon plastic
containers, which are exempt from SPCC regulations, or in 55-gallon drums stored on secondary
containment structure. Such practices are also designed to prevent drum corrosion by limiting
drum/container contact with the ground.
2) Personnel who observe oil leaks that result in a loss of oil from drum puncture, leakage, improper
drum storage, or leaking fittings and large enough to cause an accumulation of oil on the floor or
in the secondary containment structure shall notify the EHS Coordinator or designee. The EHS
Coordinator or designee will ensure that the drum will be promptly repaired. If the leak is not
repairable, the drum contents should be transferred to another drum or an over-pack drum may be
used to contain the leaking drum.
4.10.2 Operation and Maintenance Phase
1) The proposed facility will store its 55-gallon oil drums on secondary containment structures
within the facilitys Storage Building. Containers of oil that are less than 55-gallons (i.e., 5gallon plastic buckets) will also be stored within the Storage Building, on secondary containment
structures adjacent to the aforementioned 55-gallon drums. Such practices are also designed to
prevent drum corrosion by limiting drum/container contact with the ground.
4-10
1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
2) Personnel who observe oil leaks that result in a loss of oil from drum puncture, leakage, improper
drum storage, or leaking fittings and large enough to cause an accumulation of oil on the floor or
in the secondary containment structure shall notify the EHS Coordinator or designee. The EHS
Coordinator or designee will ensure that the drum will be promptly repaired. If the leak is not
repairable, the drum contents should be transferred to another drum or an over-pack drum may be
used to contain the leaking drum.
4.11

Supplemental Spill Response Procedures

40 CFR 112.7(a)(5)
This sub-section describes the response and cleanup procedures in the event of any oil discharge. The
uncontrolled discharge of oil to groundwater, surface water, or soil is prohibited by New York State laws.
Immediate action must be taken to control, contain, and recover discharged product.
In general, the following steps will be taken:
Eliminate potential spark sources;
If possible and safe to do so, identify and shut down the source of the discharge to stop the flow;
Contain the discharge with absorbents, berms, fences, trenches, sandbags, or other material;
Contact the Spill Response Coordinator or his/her alternate;
Contact regulatory authorities and the response organization; and
Collect and dispose of recovered products according to appropriate regulations.
For the purpose of establishing appropriate response procedures, this Conceptual SPCC Plan
classifies discharges as either minor or major, depending on the volume and characteristics of the
material released.
A list of Emergency Contacts is provided in Section 2.6 of this plan. The list is also posted at
prominent locations throughout the facility. A list of discharge response materials that will be kept at the
facility is included in Appendix C.
4.12.1 Response to a Minor Discharge
A minor discharge is defined as one that poses no significant harm (or threat) to human health and
safety or to the environment. Minor discharges are generally those where:
x
The quantity of product discharged is small (e.g., may involve less than 5 gallons of oil);
Discharged material is easily stopped and controlled at the time of the discharge;
Discharge is localized near the source;
Discharged material is not likely to reach water;

4-12

1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
There is little risk to human health or safety; and
There is little risk of fire or explosion.
Minor discharges can usually be cleaned up by O&M personnel. The following guidelines apply:
Immediately notify the Spill Response Coordinator.
Under the direction of the Spill Response Coordinator, contain the discharge with discharge
response materials and equipment. Place discharge debris in properly labeled waste containers.
The Spill Response Coordinator will complete the discharge notification form (Appendix C) and
attach a copy to this Conceptual SPCC Plan.
If petroleum impacts soil or water, or the spill is not cleaned up in two hours, or is not under the
control of the facility, or involves more than 5 gallons of oil, the Spill Response Coordinator will
call the NYSDEC (800-457-7362).
4.12.2 Response to a Major Discharge

x
A major discharge is defined as one that cannot be safely controlled or cleaned up by facility
personnel, such as when:
The discharge is large enough to spread beyond the immediate discharge area;
The discharged material enters water;
The discharge requires special equipment or training to clean up;
The discharged material poses a hazard to human health or safety; or
There is a danger of fire or explosion.
In the event of a major discharge, the following guidelines apply:

x
All workers must immediately evacuate the discharge site via the designated exit routes and
move to the designated staging areas at a safe distance from the discharge. Exit routes are
included on the facility diagram and posted in the O&M Building and in the Storage Building
that contains the spill response equipment.
If the Spill Response Coordinator is not present at the facility, the senior on-site person will
notify the Spill Response Coordinator of the discharge and has authority to initiate notification
and response. Certain notifications are dependent on the circumstances and type of discharge.
4-13

1/2/2009, 2:39 PM
For example, if oil reaches a sanitary sewer, the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) should
be notified immediately. A discharge that threatens Lake Ontario may require immediate
notification to the Coast Guard National Response Center (800-424-8802).
x
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must call for medical assistance if
workers are injured.
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must notify the Fire Department or
Police Department (911).
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must call the spill response and
cleanup contractors listed in Section 2.8 of this plan.
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must immediately contact the
NYSDEC (800-457-7362).
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) must record the call on the Discharge
Notification form in Appendix C and attach a copy to this Conceptual SPCC Plan.
The Spill Response Coordinator (or senior on-site person) coordinates cleanup and obtains
assistance from a cleanup contractor or other response organization as necessary.
If the Spill Response Coordinator is not available at the time of the discharge, then the next highest
person in seniority assumes responsibility for coordinating response activities.
4.12.3 Waste Disposal
Wastes resulting from a minor discharge response will be containerized in impervious bags, drums, or
buckets. The Spill Response Coordinator will characterize the waste for proper disposal and ensure that it is
removed from the facility by a licensed waste hauler within two months.
Wastes resulting from a major discharge response will be removed and disposed of by a cleanup
contractor.
4.12.4 Discharge Notification
40 CFR 112(a)(4)
If petroleum impacts soil or water, or the spill is not cleaned up in two hours, or is not under the
control of the facility, or involves more than 5 gallons of oil, the Spill Response Coordinator will call the
NYSDEC (800-457-7362).
4-14
1/2/2009, 2:39 PM

The VESTAS V90 3.0 M W is a pitch regulated upw ind w ind turbine w ith active
yaw and a three-blade rotor.
The VESTAS V90 3.0 M W has a rotordiam eterof90 m w ith a generatorrated at
3.0 M W .
The turbine utilises the O ptiTip and the variable speed concepts.W ith these features rated pow erw illbe m aintained even in high w ind speeds,regardless ofair
tem perature and airdensity,and the w ind turbine is able to operate the rotorat
variable speed (R PM ).Atlow w ind speeds the O ptiTip system and
variable speed operation m axim ise the pow eroutputby giving the optim alR PM
and pitch angle,w hich also m inim ises the sound em ission from the turbine.

M achine Foundation (the B edplate)

The frontofthe nacelle bedplate is the foundation forthe drive train,thattransm its
forces and torque from the rotorto the tow er,through the yaw system .The frontof
the nacelle bedplate is m ade ofcaststeel.The nacelle coveris m ounted on the
nacelle bedplate.
The nacelle bedplate is in tw o parts and consists ofa castiron partand a girder
structure.
The castiron partserves as the foundation ofthe m ain gearand the generator.
The bottom surface is m achined and connected to the yaw bearing.The crane
beam s are attached to the top structure.The low erbeam s ofthe girderstructure
are connected atthe rearend.The rearpartofthe bedplate serves as the foundation forcontrollerpanels,cooling system and transform er.
The fouryaw -gears are bolted to nacelle bedplate.
The nacelle houses the internal800 kg SW L service crane.The crane is a single
system chain hoist.Ifany heavierparts need service,the service crane can be
upgraded to 1600/10000 kg SW L.
The upgraded crane is able to liftand low erlarge elem ents such as parts ofthe
gearbox and the generator.
1.1.2
G earbox
The m ain geartransm its the torque from the rotorto the generator.
The gearunitis a com bination ofa 2-stage planetary gearand a 1-stage helical
gear.The gearhousing is bolted to the bedplate.The low speed inputshaftis
bolted directly to the hub w ithoutthe use ofa traditionalm ain shaft.
The gearbox lubrication system is a forced feed system w ithoutthe use ofan integrated oilsum p.
1.1.3
Yaw System
The yaw bearing system is a plain bearing system w ith built-in friction.The system
enables the nacelle to rotate on top ofthe tow er.The system transm its the forces
from the turbine-rotor/nacelle to the tow er.
Fourelectricalyaw gears w ith m otorbrakes rotate the nacelle.
1.1.4
The B rake System

The variable speed system consists ofan asynchronous generatorw ith w ound rotor,slip rings and pow erconverter.A pow erconverteris connected to the rotorto
controlthe generatoratvariable speed.In supersynchronous operation due to
w ind gusts,the excess rotorenergy is dissipated in a chopperresistor.
The variable speed and the O ptiTip system ensure energy optim isation,low noise
operation and reduction ofloads on allvitalcom ponents.
The system controls the currentin the rotorcircuitofthe generator.This gives precise controlofthe reactive pow er,and gives a sm ooth connection sequence w hen
