2013 Insurance Information
AgQuest Insurance is an Equal Opportunity Provider
Dry Pea/Dry Bean
New for 2013
Program Overview
• Revenue coverage for pulse crops will operate identically to the Revenue coverage available for other crops.
• The concept: • Use alternative methods to determine “projected”
and “harvest” prices. • Without a futures market for pulse crops, the prices
will be established using statistically tested data from industry stakeholders and governmental agencies to publish the projected and harvest
prices. • Otherwise, the product is identical to the coverage
offered by existing Combo Revenue plans.
Price Determination • To calculate the projected price:
• On or before February 15 of the crop year the offer price and expected contract volume will be
collected. • The volume and prices will be used to calculate a
weighted average projected price.
• To calculate the harvest price: • The dry pea harvest price will utilize an average
price from the USADPLC check-off assessment data set. The dry bean harvest price will use an average
price from AMS Bean Market News.
Dry Pea Pilot
• The Dry Pea Revenue Endorsement is available for the following types:
• Green/yellow peas • Lentils
• Large Kabuli Chickpeas • Small Kabuli Chickpeas

Dry Bean
Dry Bean Pilot • Coverage is offered to all counties where spring dry bean
yield coverage is available in North Dakota and Minnesota.
Program Example • Identically to the Combo revenue product, start by
calculating the Expected Revenue:
• Exp Rev = Approved Yield * Projected Price
$448/ac = 14 cwt./ac * $32.00/cwt.
• The Guarantee is calculated as the product of the Expected Revenue, Coverage Level, and Share:
• Guarantee = Exp Revenue * Coverage Level* Share
$336/ac = $448/ac * 75% * 100%
• Assume the following:
• Actual yield: 11 cwt./ac
• Harvest price: $20/cwt.
Program Example
• Revenue to Count is calculated identical to Combo Revenue Protection program:
• Rev to Count = Actual Yield * Harvest Price
$220/ac = 11 cwt./ac * $20.00/cwt
• Indemnity is calculated as Guarantee less Revenue to Count:
• Indemnity = max (0, Guarantee – Rev to Count)
$116/ac = $336/ac - $220/ac
Please note: The producer would have received no indemnity at the 75% coverage level under Yield (APH) coverage plan.
Actual Production History (APH)
• Actual production history minimum 4 years up to 10 years for insured unit
• Added land will get the higher of the County T-yield or Simple average of the existing
• Added Land -
• less than 640 cropland acres

• 640 and less than 2,000 cropland acres
• Variable T-yield or request to RO to use the Simple Average (SA) T-yield
• Greater than or equal to 2,000 cropland acres
• Variable T-yields apply only
•Eligibility:
• Must have at least 1 actual yield in 1 of most recent 4 crop years.
• If database contains < 4 actual yields in the 12 most recent crop years the trend adjustments are prorated as follows:
• 4 years = 100% of TA
• 3 years = 75% of TA
• 2 years = 50% of TA
• 1 Year = 25% of TA
• Elect by Sales Closing Date
• Available on Buy-up policies only – excludes CAT policies
• Corn and Soybeans only
• Corn for Silage, Specialty Soybeans and Organic crops are excluded

Spill Prevention Control Countermeasure
Regulation 40 CFR 112
Presented by Martin Bonnell, PE
January 25, 2013
PRESENTATION
OVERVIEW • Introductions
• Who needs a SPCC Plan & what is covered?
• State and Federal Regulations
• How is a SPCC Plan used and maintained?
• What to do in the event of a product spill
• Questions & Discussion
Who Needs a SPCC Plan
• Owners or operators of petroleum facilities that have
discharged or, due to their location, could reasonably be
expected to discharge oil in harmful quantities into or upon
the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining
shorelines to prepare, in writing, an SPCC Plan.
SPCC REQUIREMENTS
• If the facility total aboveground storage in tanks or
containers is > 1,320 gallons and/or > 42K gal underground
storage (not 280/281 exempt)
• It’s a non-transportation related facility (see 40 CFR Part
112 Appendices A & B)
• And there is a reasonable chance of a discharge to waters
of the U.S. or adjoining shorelines
DEFINITIONS
• Oil
• Includes oil of any kind or in any form including, but not limited
to:
• Petroleum and fuel oils (gasoline, diesel, lube oils, aviation
gasoline, naphtha, mineral spirits, etc.)
• Sludge
• Synthetic oils
• Created by chemical synthesis
DEFINITIONS
• Oil (cont’d)
• Oil refuse
• Oil mixed with wastes other than dredged spoil
• Animal fats, oils & greases
• Vegetable oils
• Mineral oils
DENATURED ETHANOL
• Denatured ethanol tanks are considered oil storage
containers if the denaturant is an oil such as refined gasoline
or natural gasoline
• Shell capacity of tank used as storage capacity
• These facilities may be subject to the SPCC & FRP
requirements
NON-TRANSPORTATION-
RELATED FACILITIES
• Industrial, commercial, agricultural, or public facilities which
use, store, drill for, produce, gather, process, refine or
consumer oil or oil products
• Waste treatment facilities or part thereof
• Pipeline systems, highway vehicles & railroad cars used to
transport oil exclusively within a facility
EPA Regulates:
• Railroad cars after the transportation process ends and
when they are operated as non-transportation-related
storage at an SPCC regulated facility
DOT Regulates:
• Railroad cars from the time the oil is offered for
transportation to a carrier until the time it reaches its
destination and is accepted by the consignee
“REASONAL EXPECTATION” OF
DISCHARGE • The determination must be based solely upon consideration
of the geographical & locational aspects of the facility
• Exclude manmade features such as dikes, equipment or
other features which would restrain, hinder, contain or
otherwise prevent a discharge as described in §112.1(b)
“REASONAL EXPECTATION”
(CONT.) • Factors to consider:
• Whether a past discharge of oil reached a navigable water or
adjoining shoreline;
• Whether the facility is adjacent to navigable waters or adjoining
shoreline;
• On-site conduits, such as sewer lines, storm sewers, certain
underground features (e.g., power or cable lines, or
groundwater);
“REASONAL EXPECTATION”
(CONT.) • Factors to consider:
• Unique geological or geographic features;
• Whether the facility is near a watercourse & intervening natural
drainage;
• Whether precipitation runoff could transport oil into navigable
waters;
• The quantity & nature of oil stored
STORAGE CAPACITY
THRESHOLDS
• IF it meets the other applicable criteria set forth in §112.1,
the SPCC rule applies to a facility with:
• > 1,320 gallons of aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity,
or
• > 42,000 gallons of completely buried oil storage capacity
STORAGE CAPACITY
Included in storage capacity
• Capacity of containers (e.g., bulk storage containers, oil-filled equipment, mobile/portable containers, etc.) with a capacity of 55 gallons or greater
Excluded from storage capacity
• Capacity of completely buried tanks & associated underground piping, ancillary equipment & containment systems that are subject to all technical requirements of 40 CFR part 280 or 281
• Capacity of tanks used exclusively for wastewater treatment
• Capacity of containers that are permanently closed
• Motive power containers
DEFINITION OF STORAGE
CAPACITY
• “Storage capacity” is defined in §112.2 as the shell capacity of
a container
• Generally, the shell capacity is the rated design capacity
rather than the working/operational capacity
DEFINITION OF “PERMANENTLY
CLOSED” • For a tank to be “permanently closed”, the facility must do
the following:
• Remove all liquid & sludge from each container & connecting
line
• Disconnect & blank off all connecting lines & piping
• Close & lock all valves (except ventilation valves)
• Pose a conspicuous sign on each container stating it is
permanently closed with the date of closing
• Tanks can remain on site, but they are not included in the
total storage capacity
SPCC Plan Basics
SECONDARY CONTAINMENT
REQUIREMENTS
• Tank secondary containment requires 110 percent of the volume
of the largest tank contained within the dike with the displacement
volumes of the tanks accounted for.
• Secondary containment needs to allows for additional freeboard
for containment of precipitation in the containment dikes.
Secondary Containment
Secondary Containment
Drum Containment
RACK SPILL PAD CONTAINMENT
• If transport truck makes hard connect to tank –
the tank has a “Rack” and must have spill pad
containment.
• Spill Pad containment must be large enough to
contain the largest compartment of the truck
unloading at the petroleum facility.
Spill Pad Containment
§112.3 PREPARE &
IMPLEMENT A PLAN
• The facility owner/operator must prepare a SPCC Plan:
• In writing
• In accordance with §112.7 & any other applicable
sections of 40 CFR part 112
§112.3(c) MOBILE
FACILITIES • Onshore & offshore mobile facilities must prepare,
implement & maintain a Plan as required by the rule
• Amend & implement a Plan, if necessary to ensure compliance
with the rule, on or before 11/20/09
• Can be a general Plan; a new Plan is not required each time a
facilities moves to a new site
§112.3(d) PE
CERTIFICATION
• A licensed PE must review & certify a Plan & technical
amendments
• The certification does not relieve the owner/operator of his
duty to prepare & fully implement a Plan
PE “ATTESTATION”
• With certification, the PE attests that:
• PE is familiar with the rule requirements
• PE or his agent visited & examined the facility
• The Plan has been prepared in accordance with good
engineering practice, including the consideration of applicable
industry standards, & with the requirements of 40 CFR part 112
• PE allow flexibility in meeting many rules provisions by
providing equivalent environmental protection or developing
contingency plans.
• Procedures for required inspections & testing have been
established
• The Plan is adequate for the facility
§112.3(e)(1) PLAN
REQUIREMENTS • Maintain a complete copy of the Plan:
• At the facility if it is attended at least 4 hours per day
• At the nearest field office if the facility is attended for less than 4
hours per day
• Have the Plan available to the RA for onsite review during
normal working hours
PLAN REVIEW &
EVALUATION • Complete once every 5 years from the date facility becomes
subject to the rule
• If a facility was in operation on or before 8/16/2002, 5 years from
the date of your last review required by the rule
• Amend Plan within 6 months to include more effective
prevention & control technology
• Implement ASAP, but no later than 6 months of amendment
DOCUMENTING PLAN
REVIEW
• Must document Plan review & evaluation
• Sign statement at beginning or end of Plan or in a log or an
appendix
• “I have completed review & evaluation of the SPCC Plan for
(name of facility) on (date), and will (will not) amend the Plan as a
result.”
• PE must certify any technical amendment to Plan
• Qualified Facilities exception
Smaller Oil Storage Facilities
§112.6 QUALIFIED FACILITY
PLAN REQUIREMENTS • Smaller oil storage facility that is eligible for streamlined regulatory
requirements
• Self-certified SPCC Plan instead of one reviewed & certified by a Professional Engineer
• Streamlined integrity testing & facility security requirements
• Must meet eligibility criteria to use alternative option
• EPA’s recent amendment would divide this group of facilities into tiers
• Requirements described here would apply to “Tier I” facilities
§112.6 QUALIFIED FACILITY
PLAN REQUIREMENTS (CONT.)
• EPA’s recent amendment would divide this group
of facilities into tiers
• Requirements described here would apply to “Tier II”
facilities
• Additional relief would be provided to “Tier I”
SELF-CERTIFICATION OPTION
FOR QUALIFIED FACILITIES • Allow facility owners that store <=10K oil & meet other
“qualifying” criteria to self-certify their SPCC Plans, in lieu of
review & certification by a PE
• “Qualifying” criteria –
• NO discharges for 3 years prior or since becoming subject to the
requirements
• Under this approach, owners may not deviate from any
requirements under §112.7(a)(2) (can’t use EE) & may not
make impracticability determinations under §112.7(d)
REPORTABLE DISCHARGE
HISTORY • A single discharge of oil to navigable water or adjoining
shorelines exceeding 1,000 gallons OR,
• Two discharges to navigable water or adjoining shorelines
each exceeding 42 gallons within any 12 month period
• Count only the amount that reaches navigable water or
adjoining shorelines
REPORTABLE DISCHARGE
HISTORY (CONT.) • Oil discharges resulting from natural disasters, acts of war,
or terrorism are not included
• Sabotage & vandalism are not beyond facilities control
• Self-certifying facilities do not automatically lose eligibility if
they have a reportable spill, the RA has the authority to
require a Plan amendment
SELF-CERTIFICATION
• Owner/operator attests they are familiar with the rule & have
visited & examined the facility
• The Plan has been prepared in accordance with accepted &
sound industry practices & standards
• Procedures for required inspections & testing have been
established
• The facility meets the qualifying criteria
SELF-CERTIFICATION
(CONT.) • The Plan does not deviate from rule requirements except as
allowed & as certified by a PE
• The Plan & staff responsible for implementing it have the full
approval of management & the o/o has committed the
necessary resources to fully implement the Plan
• The Plan is being fully implemented
TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS
• May self-certify technical amendments as long as a PE has
not certified the portion being changed
• If a PE certified the affected portion of the Plan, then a PE
must certify the technical amendment
Drum Containment
Tank Containment
TIER I SUMMARY
And a facility… Then the owner/operator of the facility… If a facility…
…has 10,000 gallons or less in aggregate aboveground oil storage capacity
…meets the oil discharge history criteria
…may prepare a self-certified SPCC Plan instead of one reviewed & certified by a Professional Engineer (PE)
…may meet tailored facility security & tank integrity inspection requirements without PE certification
…may prepare a Plan which includes PE-certified environmentally equivalent measures or impracticability determinations that would require PE certifications for only the portions dealing with environmental equivalence & impracticability determinations. The remaining portions of the Plan could be self-certified by the facility owner/operator
