Environmental Management System (EMS)1.

6

EMS - Introduction1.1

What is an “EMS”? The BP Alaska Environmental Management

System (EMS) is an integrated system of:

policies, procedures, programs and tools

designed to manage and minimize the environmental impacts of oil exploration and

production activities.

The EMS also helps ensure and maintain compliance with government environmental

permits and regulations.

7

EMS: Key Components

The BP Environmental Management System Includes:

Established targets and objectives focused on reducing environmental aspects (impacts) and improving the Company’s environmental performance.A formal review of all work activities, to identify potential environmental aspects (impacts), which are then ranked in order of significance. Assignment of key roles and responsibilities to specific employees, who interpret and oversee compliance with environmental regulations.

Advance-planning and active management of work activities to reduce or eliminate environmental aspects (impacts); including employee training, process alarm systems, Control of Work, written policies and procedures, etc.

Document tracking and storage systems which hold written policies, procedures, and records; including a formal management of change (MOC) process.Internal audits of compliance, followed by evaluation of any non-compliance and development of corrective and preventive actions.

A suite of procedures, checklists, and computer programs used to track the completion of compliance-related tasks.

EMS – OMS Principle 3.01.3

BP governs its worldwide operations through an internal Operating Management System, commonly known as “OMS”.

BP’s EMS is based on OMS Principle 3.0, RISK: The workforce at all levels of our organization understands and manages operating risk to prevent accidents and harm to people, to reduce damage to the environment and to achieve competitive performance.

Every worker, whether BP or contractor, has the responsibility to see that this OMS Principle is carried out in all of their activities.

EMS – OMS Principle 3.6.31.4

BP Alaska’s OMS element 3.6.3 requires that we maintain ISO 14001 certification. BP’s EMS is based on the ISO 14001 International Standard, which provides a systematic way to set and manage performance commitments.

This is accomplished by identifying our “Significant Aspects,” setting our Objectives and Targets, Document Control and management oversight to ensure that continuous improvement (PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT) is pursued.

It is part of everyone’s job at BP Alaska to fulfill their role and responsibilities in the EMS.

10

EMS: Review for Significant Environmental Aspects1.5

BP annually reviews operational activities and determines if that activity is considered a “Significant Environmental Aspect.”

Examples of Significant Environmental Aspects are:• Air emissions – new, or changes to existing• Waste generation – new, or changes to current

waste management• Potential for wildlife disturbance• Potential for spills• Potential non-compliance with existing permit

stipulations or regulations

EMS Significant Environmental Aspects contribute to the development of the OMS Area Operating Plan / Functional Delivery Plan activities each year.

11

EMS: Compliance Advisors

BP Alaska has assigned Compliance Advisors who are responsible for interpreting regulatory requirements and obtaining necessary permits for new or changed activities.

Compliance Advisor assignments are listed in the BP document, “Authorities for HSE Regulatory Interpretations Procedure.”

BP Alaska also has Technical Authorities who are responsible for interpreting engineering codes and practices.

The list of Technical Authorities is available through BP’s EDDI database.

1.6

12

EMS: Policies and Procedures1.7

BP policies, procedures, standard practices, and training programs have been established to ensure daily operations, fluid transfers, inspections, tests, and non-routine activities are performed safely and are compliant with regulations.

Prior to performing work for BP, it is your responsibility to learn the relevant BP policies and procedures that apply to

that work, and to follow those procedures as written.

Controlled procedures and policies are available through the BP Alaska Intranet and/or the OMS Navigator, at the following web pages:

HSE procedures & Site Operating Procedures (SOPs): Operations Document Information Exchange (ODIE)

Site Technical Practices, Specifications, and Drawings: Engineering Drawing & Documentation Information (EDDI) (requires access permissions)

13

EMS: Planning1.8

Planning ensures environmental compliance by:• Assessing potential environmental risks and developing

an Environmental Management Program (EMP), if required.

• Adequately scoping a project and obtaining the necessary job specific regulatory permits (such as tundra travel, gravel work, water discharges, waste disposal, etc.)

• Identifying legal and regulatory compliance requirements

• Determining if existing procedures adequately address the activity to be performed or if new procedures are required

• Determining training requirements and ensuring that workers are appropriately trained before work begins

• Assignment of specific roles and responsibilities• Communicating to others by using the Management of

Change (MOC), Authorization to Proceed (ATP), Ground Disturbance Permitting (GDP) and Control of Work (CoW) processes.

14

EMS: Recordkeeping1.9

Accurate recordkeeping is an important piece of the EMS. No record = it didn’t happen.

A record documents 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.

Please refer to the BP Alaska Record Control Procedure for further guidance.

15

EMS: Your Role and Responsibilities1.10

Know your operating plan / functional delivery plan activities that support Environmental Objectives and Targets.

1. Prevent Loss of Primary Containment (LOPC) incidents.

2. Continually improve LOPC performance associated with facilities, related infrastructure and transportable equipment.

3. Replace or remove high-risk, integrity related equipment, piping and valves.

4. Maintain and improve infrastructure integrity through inspections and preventive maintenance activities.

5. Continuously improve tools, processes, and practices to prevent pollution and maintain compliance.

6. Reduce volume of solid waste sent for disposal.

7. Continually improve compliance with regulations, policies, and procedures.

8. Support continuous improvement through self assessment.

16

EMS: Performance1.11

A successful management system includes checking the system to make sure it is working properly.

ISO 14001 and OMS Principle 8.2 requires audits and assessments to ensure compliance and drive continual improvement.

There are many ways to check performance of the EMS:

• Self-Verification – such as BP’s Compliance Task Manager (CTM) system

• Audits- internal (by BP staff) and external (by an outside entity)

• Inspections- by BP, a third-party contractor, or government agency.

17

Special EMS Topics2.

18

Special Topics: Water Use2.1

Even though water is abundant on the North Slope, Water Use Permits are required to prevent adverse impacts to the surrounding environment and bodies of water.

Drawing water from an unapproved source, or even using an incorrect intake screen size, may violate conditional-use permits.

When in doubt, always check with the BP Environmental Team.

19

Special Topics: Water Discharge2.2

The discharge of waste water on the slope is a regulated activity and in most cases requires a Discharge Permit. Water use/collection activities that must be discharged under a permit:

• Collected stormwater in secondary containments

• Water from hydro-testing

• Line flushing

• Construction

• Excavation

• Dewatering

These permits require regulatory notification, inspection and monitoring during the discharge.

Coordinate any planned discharges with the Environmental Advisors as far in advance as possible.

Special care must be taken to prevent a release, leak, or spill to natural bodies of water.

Any discharge that causes a film, sheen, or discoloration on the receiving water, tundra, or shoreline must be reported.

Industrial Process Waste Water is generally not discharged to water or tundra, but is managed through injection under the Underground Injection Control Program.

20

Special Topics: Land Use & Permitting2.3

• Government agencies (local, state, federal) regulate, permit, and monitor North Slope land use for many reasons:

• Land ownership and lease matters

• Collection of applicable taxes and fees

• Protect 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.

• Any type of ground disturbance/excavation on or off pad will require a permit.

• Any alteration of an existing road or pad requires additional permits, even though the road or pad was permitted when it was built.

• Always check with the BP Environmental Team before ground work begins!

21

Special Topics: Tundra Travel2.4

Due to the harsh arctic climate and short growing season, tundra is an extremely fragile environment where any disturbance or damage can take decades to heal.

Agency notification and approval is required PRIOR to any off road work or travel.

Immediately report any suspected or known tundra damage or tundra erosion to the BP Environmental Team.

22

Special Topics: Hazardous Wastes2.5

Hazardous wastes generated on the North Slope are strictly regulated onsite before they are shipped out of State for disposal. Legal and financial penalties for improper handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous waste can be severe!

Requirements for determining the type of hazardous waste and onsite management begin when wastes are first generated. Hazardous wastes are collected and managed in designated accumulation areas within many BP Alaska facilities.

23

Special Topics: Hazardous Wastes, Continued2.6

Some wastes from oil and gas operations are exempt from hazardous waste requirements, so it is important to properly identify the source and type of waste, and to keep wastes separated. If hazardous wastes are accidentally mixed with non-hazardous or exempt wastes the entire volume becomes “hazardous waste”, and then must be handled and disposed accordingly.

The Alaska Waste Disposal and Reuse Guide (a.k.a. the “Red Book”) provides waste management guidance for BP’s Slope operations. Hazardous waste management regulations are very complex, so do not try to guess or make assumptions about how a particular waste must be handled.

When in doubt, always check with the BP Environmental Team.

24

Special Topics: Waste Management2.7

Think twice about everything you use and throw away…was it really necessary?

Use re-usable containers and utensils for packing food items in place of Styrofoam, plastic or paper items.

When ordering project or office materials, order only what you need.

Recycle used and unused materials whenever possible. Investigate waste recycling options for your location. During meals, take only as much food as you intend to eat

Existing North Slope landfill space is limited and regulations make permitting a new landfill or a landfill expansion difficult. Therefore, North

Slope solid waste disposal is expensive.

Also consider – a landfill / dump only HIDES the garbage we create.

It may be out of sight, but it doesn’t go away

Please try to minimize the creation of unnecessary waste.

25

Special Topics: Air Emissions2.8

Nearly all of our facilities operate under a State issued Air Permit. Modifications to equipment regulated under these air permits may have serious impacts on air quality compliance.

Always check with Environmental or an Air Quality Compliance Advisor before doing repairs or modifications to permitted emissions sources.

While only a few employees can manage the emissions from our facilities, EVERYONE can help minimize equipment emissions by shutting down vehicle and equipment engines when no longer needed or in use.

Unnecessary idling, multiplied by thousands of engines, injects a large volume of pollutants into the air.

Be sure to follow the rules in the BP Alaska Unsecured Vehicle Policy, which sets forth the ONLY conditions when vehicles may be left idling.

26

SPILL PREVENTION3.

27

Spill Contingency Plans3.1

BP Alaska maintains Oil Discharge Prevention and Contingency Plans (also known as C-Plans or SPCC Plans), as required by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) and other regulatory agencies.

These plans include detailed facility descriptions and descriptions of controls used to prevent spills, including:

Spill prevention methodologies (e.g. inspection, maintenance, integrity management programs/procedures)

Methods for securing access to facilities and equipmentThe plans also provide response information in the event of an oil

release.

The plans must be updated regarding changes to the facility layout, control systems, and inventory or service status of tanks, secondary containments, pipelines, and other oil-filled equipment. The Environmental Review portion of the BP Alaska MOC process ensures changes are identified to allow for timely modifications to the plans.

28

“Oil Handlers”3.2

The operation, inspection, and maintenance of equipment used to handle oil and oil-related products is regulated by numerous local, State, and Federal government agencies.

The regulations refer to personnel who perform these types of tasks as “Oil Handlers.”

The primary purpose of these regulations is to prevent spills, which can harm people, property, and the environment.

It is vital for “oil handlers” to know about these regulations and to comply with their provisions. Failure to comply with these regulations may threaten BP’s permission to operate oil fields in Alaska.

29

Oil Handler Training3.3

OIL SPILL

PREVENTION

REGULATIONS

Reminder: If your job duties involve inspection, maintenance, repair, testing, or operation of oil storage and transfer equipment, you are required by Federal and State law to be trained on oil pollution prevention measures that are applicable to your job.

Overview training for Oil Handlers is provided through the BP’s computer-based training course: “Oil Spill Prevention Regulations Training” (HSEENV038)

30

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 largest 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, snow, ice, dirt, vegetation or other debris.

Secondary Containment3.4

The BP Alaska Site Technical Practice (STP) titled, Criteria for Secondary Containment of Storage Tanks and Tank Truck Loading Areas provides an in-depth description of when secondary containment is required, as well as design criteria.

31

Secondary Containment, continued3.5

Storing oil without secondary containment is prohibited.

In an effort to comply with regulations and minimize the risk of illegal oil storage, special areas with appropriate secondary containment and signage have been designated for empty portable hydrocarbon tanks.

32

Basic Spill Prevention Tips3.6

Spill prevention is everyone's business.

Ensure that the equipment you work with is well maintained and always have a plan to prevent spills to the environment.

This can be as simple as: Always using liners under connection points

when fueling your vehicle or transferring fluids Using a drip liner under your vehicle and

equipment motors when parked or idling Shutting off your vehicle or equipment

whenever possible Looking for worn or leaking parts during your

360- degree vehicle and equipment inspections, and reporting problems to vehicle maintenance

33

Spill Reporting3.7

PLEASE REMEMBER:

ALL LEAKS, SPILLS, AND UN-PERMITTED DISCHARGES MUST BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY.

The North Slope Environmental Field Handbook has phone numbers for reporting.

Regulated Pipelines Awareness4.

35

Regulated Pipelines4.1

Many of the liquid and natural gas pipelines in our operating area are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), and are subject to requirements set forth in the 2011 Pipeline Consent Decree (PCD).

These lines have a number of special regulatory and environmental requirements you need to know.

Note – A pipeline corridor may contain both regulated and non-regulated pipelines.

Hazard awareness, spill prevention, and spill response are the same for all.

36

Pipeline Consent Decree4.2

• The Pipeline Consent Decree (PCD) is a legal agreement between BP Alaska and the U.S. EPA, DOT, and Dept. of Justice; as a result of the 2006 pipeline spills in Alaska.

• The PCD re-iterates assuring pipeline integrity for pipeline design, construction, operation, maintenance, and location-specific requirements.

• BP Alaska and contractors must follow strict compliance requirements, including strict deadlines for pipeline inspections, repairs, replacements, and reporting of pipeline data.

• The PCD applies to all Well Lines, Flow Lines, and Produced Water Lines within the Greater Prudhoe Bay Unit which move liquid hydrocarbons between the well pads, Flow Stations, and Gathering Centers (approximately 1625 separate pipelines).

• Well lines run between the well and manifold building on a pad or drill site.• Flow lines are cross-country pipelines between a well or well pad and the

interconnection point with a process facility.

37

Pipeline Consent Decree, continued4.3

All officers, employees, agents, and contractors whose duties might reasonably include compliance with any provision of the Decree shall be provided with a copy of the Consent Decree or with instruction and briefing concerning portions of the Consent Decree for which they have implementation responsibilities, along with the relevant portions of the Consent Decree.

For more information on the Pipeline Consent Decree, please contact:

In Anchorage: Mary Cocklan-Vendl, 907-564-4766, or Mary.CocklanVendl@bp.com

On the North Slope: PCD Compliance Assurance Lead, 907-670-7550, or AKOPSPCDALead@bp.com

Training on the PCD is available through a computer-based training course, “BPXA PCD Overview” (HSEDOT001)

38

Pipeline Hazards4.4

POTENTIAL PIPELINE HAZARDS: HEALTH: Exposure to harmful compounds spilled

or leaked from pipelines. Exposure to fire and or explosion of the contents, asbestos in insulation, etc.

PROPERTY: Physical property damage from leaks, spills, or ignition of contents. Damage from the force of pipes moving when “slugs” of product move through.

ENVIRONMENT: Damage to land, bodies of water, and wildlife due to exposure of harmful pipeline contents.PIPELINE HAZARD PREVENTION MEASURES:

Inspection and maintenance programs Automated safety systems for pipeline

shutdown Visual and FLIR surveillance from ground and

air Internal and external pipeline integrity

assessments Stream bank erosion inspections

39

Pipeline Signage4.5

BP Alaska Lease Area Pipeline Signage:

• System Operator Name• Name of commodity transported in

pipe• “Warning” notice• 24 – Hour Emergency Contact

Number (sample)• International “No Dig!” symbol• Reflective background for maximum

visibility in low light conditions

Anyone driving around the North Slope oil field should be familiar with pipeline signage.

Pipeline signs generally include: What product is in the pipe Who manages that section of

pipeline Who to contact if there is a leak

40

Hazwoper – First Responder Awareness5.

41

Hazwoper – First Responder Awareness5.1

There are many hazardous materials being processed and transported on the North Slope, so all North Slope employees and visitors must know what to do if they encounter a hazardous materials leak or spill.

This course provides training at an Awareness Level only.

Higher levels of spill response require additional training.

Do not respond beyond what you have been trained to do.

In the most-simple terms, your duty at the Awareness-level can be summed up in three R’s:

• Recognize (the presence of hazardous materials)

• Run away! (Evacuate the area)

• Respond (Activate emergency response sequence)

PHOTO: ADEC

42

Recognize the Presence of Hazardous Materials5.2

Detection by SIGHT : Unusual mist, vapor cloud, spray,

or pooling of substances in the area

Discolored surfaces, dead vegetation, unnatural colors or rainbow sheen in the environment

Pipelines, tanks or containers nearby with hazard placards or signage

Presence of warning barricades and/or responder personnel on site

Detection by SMELL : Unusual foul, pungent,

unnatural, or unusual chemical odor in the area

Detection by SOUND: Hissing sound, roaring sound,

unusual sound of dripping or flowing liquid

43

Run Away! Evacuate the Area5.3

Leave the area immediately, in an up-wind direction.

Do not touch, breathe, or make contact with the leaking liquids.

Do not attempt to stop the leak.

Warn others in the area.

Do not light a match, start an engine, use a phone, operate electrical switches, or do anything else that may create a spark in the vicinity of the leak.

If already driving, do not drive into a vapor cloud or spray.

If you discover a pipeline leak or substance spill of any kind:

44

Report! Activate Emergency Response System5.4

Once you are a safe distance from the scene:• Call emergency telephone

number or radio operator.• Emergency Phone numbers are

posted in most locations, listed in the facility EAP or ERP, and on Page 7-8 of the BP ASH.

• Give your name, location and phone or Harmony radio number.

• Provide the time and duration of the release.

• Provide the name of chemical(s), if known. Do Not Return To The Scene !!!

• Describe the release scene.• Convey known or anticipated health

risks and medical attention necessary for exposed individuals.

45

Wildlife & Level 1 Polar Bear Awareness6.

46

Introduction6.1

The Arctic Coastal Plain is an important 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.

47

Permits, Requirements and Resources6.2

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA), Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) are 3 Federal laws that protect wildlife in our operating areas.

BPXA is required to comply with a variety of Federal, State and local regulations and permits. This compliance program includes:

Obtaining special authorizations from federal agencies for our work activities that may affect species protected under the ESA and MMPA;

Maintaining a Polar Bear and Walrus Interaction Plan for BPXA Areas of Operation, which outlines our process for minimizing polar bear interactions, our reporting process, and polar bear training requirements

No unauthorized disturbance of mammals or birds (including their nests and eggs).

The following resources are available on the BPXA Environmental Compliance Website:

Polar Bear and Walrus Interaction Plan for BPXA Areas of Operations

BP 2011-2016 Field-Wide LOA 11-21 for Polar Bear-Pacific Walrus (Unintentional Take)

NS Environmental Field Handbook

What Do I Do With This Animal Handbook

Field Environmental Advisors

48

Wildlife Considerations at Work Sites6.3

Be aware of bear activity in your work area. (including den sites, recent sightings)

Discuss bear awareness and on-site bear response plans in pre-job hazard assessments.

Check your work area before leaving the safety of a vehicle or building.

Manage storage materials, chemicals and garbage so they are not available to wildlife.

Store food and dispose of food-related waste in wildlife-proof containers.

Bears, Fox, and Birds will approach human structures when attractants are present!

Do not leave waste (food, scrap metal, plastic, insulation, etc.) where animals can get to it…this includes open truck beds! Birds will build nests with trash debris

Supervisors shall notify other workers and work groups of the presence of bears

Any action, including photography, that affects a polar bear’s behavior may be considered a violation of federal regulations and company policies

Only trained and certified personnel are authorized to interact deliberately with polar bears or other wildlife.

49

Polar Bear-Specific Requirements6.4

If a Polar Bear EMERGES From a DEN within 1 MILE of Human Activity:

Cease all activities immediately. Move away from the site to a safe area.

Notify Security immediately. They will contact the Environmental Team and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

If you believe that you have found a Polar Bear Den, leave the area and report the finding to Security immediately - even if you don’t see a bear.

Decreasing sea ice in the Arctic Ocean appears to be contributing to an increased number of polar bears inhabiting and denning in areas where BPXA operates (shoreline).

ALWAYS Contact your Environmental Advisors, S&OR Permitting Team, or the Wildlife Compliance Advisor for consultation before planning or beginning any new field projects off roads or gravel pads (e.g. ice road construction or new gravel sources).

50

Wildlife Reporting6.5

Call North Slope Security immediately if you observe any of the following:

Polar bears – all sightings (including tracks, scats or possible dens) and interactions

Grizzly bears – all sightings and interactions

Red or Arctic fox – all interactions that require hazing, deterrence, or dispatching

Ermine – all interactions that require hazing, deterrence, or dispatching

Walrus – all sightings

Call Environmental immediately if you observe any of the following:

Any injured, trapped, stranded, nuisance, or dead animals

Dead or injured birds (especially Spectacled Eiders and Yellow-Billed Loons)

Seals or whales – interactions, injured or dead animals

Unusual wildlife sightings (for example, walrus sightings, wolf sightings, ermine infestations, Bald or Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons nesting or animals exhibiting unusual behavior)

Please do NOT take wildlife matters into your own hands! Your Environmental Advisor will make the necessary notifications to Federal and State agencies, and will provide guidance on what to do with dead, sick, or injured animals.

51

Environmental ManagementSystem Compliance7.

52

EMS Regulatory Compliance7.1

The most important 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.

53

EMS Reporting7.2

There are many issues that may seem trivial,

but they actually require immediate agency

notification and response in order to maintain compliance

with permits and regulations.

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 BP Environmental Team.

54

EMS Participation8.1

That’s easy!

Stay current on your training requirements, be proactive on spill prevention, follow the applicable procedures for your job tasks, report any spills that occur, look for opportunities for waste reduction and submit your ideas for improvement.

So, how can I contribute to

the EMS?
