    7. 7 The ISO 14001 standard and OMS element 7.1, Regulatory Compliance require that we identify applicable legal and regulatory HSSE requirements. BPXA has assigned Compliance Authorities who are responsible for interpreting regulatory requirements and staying current with proposed new regulations. The assigned Compliance Authorities are listed in the document, “BPXA Authorities for HSE Regulatory Interpretations.” The Compliance Authorities also work with operations and projects to obtain necessary permits for new or changed activities. BPXA also has Technical Authorities who are responsible for interpreting engineering codes and practices. The list of Technical Authorities is available through the EDDI/Documentum database.

    8. 8

    9. 9 Advanced planning of all work ensures compliance with environmental regulations by: Adequately scoping a project and obtaining the necessary regulatory permits Assessment of potential environmental risks and hazards Determining if existing procedures adequately address the activity to be performed or if new procedures are required Determining the training requirements and ensuring that people are appropriately trained before work begins Assignment of specific roles and responsibilities

    10. 10 Accurate recordkeeping is an important piece of the EMS! Records document your compliance activities, usually with reference to a point in time. These include: Evidence of compliance; such as secondary containment inspections and waste manifests. Correspondence; such as a submittal to an agency or waiver from a regulatory requirement Proof of completed training Records must be stored and maintained so they can be protected from loss and easily retrieved when needed. When it comes to compliance, if there is no record, it didn’t happen! Please refer to the BPXA HSE Record Control Procedure for further guidance.

    11. 11

    12. 12 Local, State and Federal government agencies regulate, permit, and monitor North Slope land use for a myriad of reasons: land ownership/lease matters, collection of applicable taxes and fees, and for protection of critical animal habitat – particularly for the conservation of threatened or endangered species. Any alteration of the natural landscape or use of natural material to construct roads and pads must be pre-approved and permitted.

    13. 13

    14. 14 Due to limited landfill space and the fragile, Arctic environment, waste disposal on the North Slope is very limited and expensive. Consider this - all we really do at a dump is HIDE our garbage. It doesn’t go away! Please try to minimize the creation of waste which must be disposed.

    15. 15 Modifications to equipment regulated under air permits may have serious impacts on air quality compliance. Always check with Environmental or an Air Quality Compliance Authority (CA) when doing repairs or modifications to permitted emissions sources.

    16. 16

    17. 17 The NUMBER ONE ENVIRONMENTAL RULE we must follow is: Maintain compliance with ALL permit stipulations and regulations. Failure to do so can result in federal action against BP and even individual employees, followed by loss of business, loss of business opportunities, damaged reputations, etc. This can be prevented by: Assessing how your job tasks could impact the environment. Identifying the most-current procedures and practices that apply to your work tasks. Learning the permit stipulations that govern the activities you are involved in, and follow them. If you don’t know the rules, seek them out. Ask your Supervisor or an Environmental Advisor if you have any questions.

    18. 18 It is part of everyone’s job at BP Alaska to help make the Environmental Management System work properly. Please keep an eye out for things that don’t look right! If you discover evidence of current or even potential problems (e.g. leaks, spills, malfunctioning equipment, workers unknowingly or willfully not following procedures, etc.), it is your responsibility to report your findings to your Supervisor, North Slope Security, or the Environmental Team.

    25. 25 Secondary containment is required by regulations and BP policy for tanks, vessels and drums containing oil and oil-based substances. Most oil tanks need secondary containment with a capacity 110% of the tank’s shell capacity Containment areas require documented inspections Containment is only effective if the liner is in good, leak-proof condition, and its capacity is not adversely affected by the presence of water, dirt, vegetation or other debris.

    36. 36 The Arctic Coastal Plain is a sensitive habitat for many forms of wildlife. It is a privilege to operate in the midst of a healthy and unique wildlife community. Most birds and mammals found on the Slope are protected by State or Federal regulations. “Protected” means they cannot be hunted, harassed, captured, or killed without government agency permits and/or approval. All animals have the “right of way” and should be treated with respect. Crucial wildlife habitats, such as nesting, brood rearing areas, den sites and feeding grounds must not be disturbed.

    37. 37

    38. 38

    39. 39 Call North Slope Security immediately if you observe any of the following: Any injured, trapped, stranded, nuisance or dead animals Polar bears (including tracks or possible dens) Grizzly bears - all sightings and interactions Red or Arctic fox encounters that require hazing, deterrence or dispatching Dead or injured birds (especially Spectacled Eiders and Yellow-Billed Loons) Seals or whales - interactions or injured or dead animals Unusual wildlife sightings (for example, walrus sightings, ermine infestations, Bald or Golden Eagles, or Peregrine Falcons nesting)

    40. 40

    41. 41

    42. 42 Government regulations prohibit harassment of wildlife. In accordance with the MMPA and the ESA, it is illegal to “take” polar bears, which is defined as: “hunting, harassing or killing, or attempting to hunt, harass, or kill a polar bear.

    43. 43 IF A BEAR IS SIGHTED IN OR NEAR YOUR WORK AREA: Cease all work activity immediately and move away from the site to a safe area. Alert the on-site Supervisor and any others working nearby. Notify BPXA Security immediately Security will determine if the bear(s) need to be hazed. Only trained Security personnel are authorized to haze bears. Security will contact the BP Environmental Team for guidance and will report the sighting or hazing event to USFWS, as soon as possible, but not more than 24 hours. The Environmental Team will work with USFWS and Operations Management regarding resumption of activities on a case-by-case basis. Activity can not resume without explicit permission from the BP Environmental Team and the USFWS.

    44. 44 Verify work location is not within 1 mile of a known or suspected polar bear den. Ask North Slope Security if any polar bears are currently in the fields. Be prepared to staff designated wildlife observers on site to monitor polar bear activity, if deemed necessary by BP HSSE staff, Security or the USFWS. Designate “safe areas” at the work site and ensure all workers are briefed on the BPXA Polar Bear Interaction Plan, recent bear activity in the area, work site warning communications, and evacuation routes to the safe area(s). Arrange for adequate lighting and protection of the work area, as needed. Monitor areas in the worksite where bears could be hidden from view, such as ditches, ice mounds, terrain, large snow piles, large equipment, containers, and facility modules. Before leaving buildings or vehicles, survey the exit area for polar bears or bear activity.

    45. 45

    46. 46

    47. 47 Keep work sites clean and clear of food and food waste. Ensure that work space is well lit and a designated safe area is established. Drive or walk around and inspect the work area prior to starting work. Contact Security immediately if a polar bear is sighted. Do not under any circumstances stop to view or photograph polar bears in the field.

    48. 48 If you have additional questions about wildlife, answers can be found in the following documents: What do I do with this Animal? handbook BPXA Polar Bear Interaction Plan North Slope Environmental Field Handbook Or, simply ask a BP Alaska Environmental Advisor, or the BP Alaska Wildlife Compliance Authority
