Tetra Tech supports facilities with SPCC compliance through plan development, inspections, audits, and personnel training. Our team works with regulated facilities across industries to help meet EPA requirements, prepare for inspections, and manage ongoing compliance responsibilities.
SPCC COMPLIANCE CHALLENGES
If you store more than 1,320 gallons of oil in containers with capacities of 55 gallons or greater, you may be required to maintain a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. Developing and implementing an SPCC Plan helps facilities understand oil storage requirements, prevent oil discharges, prepare for spill response, and comply with inspection and reporting obligations under EPA regulations.
- SPCC PLAN DEVELOPMENT
Each regulated facility must maintain a facility-specific SPCC Plan. This plan establishes procedures to prevent oil discharges, outlines response actions in the event of a spill, and identifies control measures to minimize environmental impacts. Keeping your SPCC Plan accurate, up to date, and properly implemented is essential to maintaining compliance and avoiding potential enforcement actions, citations, and fines.
- REGULAR INSPECTIONS
Facilities subject to SPCC regulations are required to conduct and document routine inspections of oil storage equipment and containment systems. A structured inspection program helps identify potential issues early, prevent oil discharges and releases to the environment, and demonstrate compliance during regulatory inspections.
- REGULAR TRAINING
SPCC regulations require annual Oil Handling Personnel training to ensure staff understand applicable requirements and site-specific spill prevention procedures. Effective training helps personnel recognize risks, respond appropriately to incidents, and carry out responsibilities defined in the facility’s SPCC Plan.
