A portion of SPCC-regulated facilities may also be subject to Facihty Response Planning (FRP) requirements if they pose a threat of substantial harm to navigable waters. The intent of a FRP is to provide for planned responses to discharges of oil. In doing so, facilities ... 

Samples from municipal wastewater treatment plants and samples of industrial discharges often are collected as 24-h composites. Samples are obtained using an automatic sampler that periodically removes individual grab samples. The volume of each sample increment and the frequency of sampling may be constant or may vary in response to changes in flow rate. 

Filtration and water-knockout systems are used to clean up the gas before it enters a compressor. Cooling systems are sometimes required to maintain compressor discharge temperatures below 54°C to avoid damage to the pipeline s protective coatings. Automated compressor stations are typically staffed by maintenance and repair personnel eight hours per day, five days per week. Other stations are staffed on a 24-hour basis because personnel must start, stop, and regulate compressors in response to orders from the dispatch office. 

Chemical-mediated immune suppression has been identified from the experimental study of several wildlife species. Harbour seals fed either chemically contaminated fish from the Wadden Sea or imcontaminated fish were found to have differing immune responses, with the exposed group showing lowered immune response to microbial infections and certain types of cancer. "" Mink fed fish taken from below a discharge point for bleached Kraft pulp mill effluent have also shown impaired immune function, " showing that the non-accnmillative chemicals in this effluent can actively disrupt endocrine associated functions. 

To provide training in all aspects of PSM and ESH so that everyone in the company understands his or her responsibilities and has the knowledge needed to discharge these responsibilities successfully. Secondary training requirements would define the areas in which training is needed for every category of staff and employees. 

Unit heaters A unit with a large propeller or cenhifugal fan to give high air volume and wide throws. Louvers direct the air flow in the direction required. May be ceiling mounted, discharging vertically or horizontally or floor mounted. Can be used with fresh air Rapid response to conhol by individual thermostat by use of multi-speed motors rapid warm-up available on intermittent systems Altered fresh air inlet facility. Electric supply required for each individual unit. 3 to 300 kW. 

Crucial factors affecting overall cost are the responsiveness to medication (for example, less than 70% of patients are lithium responders ), adherence to recommended treatment, and adverse events resulting from medication. A particular hazard of lithium treatment is the risk of rapid re-emergence of mania, which occurs in up to 50% of patients if the dmg is abruptly discontinued (see Cookson, 1997). Disappointingly, it has not been found that the introduction of widespread treatment with lithium has been associated with a reduction in the number of patients admitted and discharged from hospital with a diagnosis of mania. In order to achieve the best result with the available...
