Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule states: “Certain facilities must prepare, amend, and implement SPCC Plans to address the potential for a discharge of oil.” EPA requires all facilities that use, manage, and store oil - 1,320 gallons or more - to prepare and implement SPCC plans which must be completed and certified by a Professional Engineer (PE).
Twice this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency extended the deadline for facilities to amend, or prepare and implement, their Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans to comply with revisions made to the Clean Water Act rule since 2002.
On June 19, 2010, the EPA published in the Federal Register a SPCC compliance date extension until November 10, 2010. Facilities must amend, or prepare and implement, an SPCC Plan by the compliance date in accordance with revisions to the SPCC rule promulgated since 2002. Neither delay removes any regulatory requirement to maintain an SPCC plan in accordance with the SPCC regulations for owners or operators of facilities in operation before August 16, 2002.
