San Antonio City Code § 3-122

in effect

Sec. 3-122. - Fuel spill. (a) Crews engaged in the fueling and defueling of aircraft, the filling of dispensing equipment, or in any manner working with aviation fuels shall exercise extreme caution to prevent spills. When spills occur, servicing shall cease and spills shall be removed or absorbed with suitable material. Any spill occurring during the fueling process shall be the responsibility of the person or agent performing the fueling act to remediate. If the fuel spill occurs after the fueling agent has left the scene, the aircraft owner or the entity or individual charged with responsibility for the aircraft shall immediately begin clean up and call for the fueling agent to return to assist. A fuel spill occurring during some type of aircraft maintenance, when no fueling has occurred, shall be the sole responsibility of the aircraft owner or the entity or individual charged with responsibility for the aircraft to remediate. Proper notification as required in these rules shall be initiated at all times. (b) The airport operations division shall be notified by the fueling agent of all fuel spills regardless of the size of the spill. (c) The ARFF Division shall be notified if a spill is over ten (10) feet in any dimension or over fifty (50) square feet in area; continues to flow; is suspected of entering a storm drain, sewer, or waterway; or is otherwise a hazard to persons or property. (d) Each fueling agent shall carry on each fuel vehicle at least two (2) bags of approved absorbent material and an approved device for damming or excluding fuel from entering a drain. (e) No aircraft engine may be started when any volatile liquid is on the ground under such aircraft. (f) No one is to walk or drive through any fuel spill. (Ord. No. 2015-04-09-0289, 1(Att.
