Using these lubricants can potentially save
an operator thousands of dollars in terms
of fines, cleanup costs and down time.
(CWA) of 1972, which is the principal
federal statute protecting navigable waters
and adjoining shorelines from pollution.
Under the legal authority of the CWA, the
Discharge of Oil regulation, more commonly
known as the “sheen rule,” provides
the framework for determining whether an
oil spill to inland and coastal waters and/
or their adjoining shorelines should be
reported to the federal government. In particular,
the regulation requires the person
in charge of a facility or vessel responsible
for discharging oil that may be “harmful to
the public health or welfare” to report the
spill to the federal government. The regulation
also establishes the criteria for determining
whether an oil spill may be harmful
to public health or welfare, triggering the
reporting requirements. The criteria are:
•• Discharges that cause a sheen or discoloration
on the surface of a body of
water;
•• Discharges that violate applicable water
quality standards;
•• Discharges that cause sludge or an emulsion
to be deposited beneath the surface
of the water or on adjoining shorelines.
While all spills are reportable, fines
and remediation costs are often significantly
reduced for operators using EALs.
With the increasing emphasis on sustainable
operations, many products claim
to be “green” in an attempt to capture companies’
attention and take advantage of
their legitimate corporate desire to reduce
their impact on the environment. Many of
these products fall short on performance
and true environmental benefit, and do not
meet the regulatory standards or the performance
needs of pile driving applications.
In terms of degradation, claiming a
product is biodegradable means next to
nothing in terms of its realistic impact
on the environment. In fact, oil and other
potentially harmful things for the environment
are biodegradable, too – just after
a long period of time. Biodegradation is
when a given substance or fluid’s chemical
bonds break apart. The opposite of
biodegradation is persistence, and some
petroleum-based products have a high level
of persistence in the environment.
One way to classify biodegradation is
by two of its operational properties: inherent
biodegradability and ready biodegradability.
Inherently biodegradable oils are
products or base oils that show greater than
20 percent and less than 60 percent degradation
within 28 days. Readily biodegrad-
