Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Compliance Services

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Facts & Terminology

• PCC Plan regulations apply to facilities including farms which store, transfer, use, or consume oil or oil products such as diesel fuel, gasoline, lube oil, hydraulic oil, adjuvant oil, crop oil, vegetable oil, or animal fat and store more than 1,320 U.S. gallons in above-ground containers or more than 42,000 U.S. gallons in completely buried containers.
• To calculate a facility ’s total fuel/oil storage capacity, use the shell capacity of each container (maximum volume) and count all containers with storage capacities equal to or greater than 55 U.S. gallons to determine whether the SPCC regulations apply to your facility.
• A Tier I Qualified Facility is a facility having between 1,320 and 10,000 gallons of total fuel/oil storage capacity and no single storage container with a capacity greater than 5,000 gallons.
• A Tier II Qualified Facility is a facility having between 1,320 and 10,000 gallons of total fuel/oil storage capacity but one or more storage containers with a capacity greater than 5,000 gallons.
• Any facility with a total fuel/oil storage capacity greater than 10,000 gallons requires a licensed Professional Engineer for development, amendments, and certification of an SPCC Plan.
• In addition to EPA regulations, design and installation of storage tank systems with secondary containment typically also requires compliance with various State Fire Marshal regulations.
• The SPCC Plan compliance deadline for existing facilities was November 10, 2011. The SPCC Plan compliance deadline for farms was extended to May 10, 2013.
