SPCC: Current Status and Upcoming Changes; Get Your Facility Up to Speed Now
SPCC Webinar Recording
Back in 2008, the EPA released major changes to the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations - and they were amended again in Spring 2011. Additionally, throughout that time period, the effective compliance dates have been modified, delayed and extended, creating a lot of confusion.
The SPCC regulations require owners and operators of facilities that use, store, transfer, or consume oil or oil-based products (including animal fats and vegetable oils) to develop and implement SPCC plans, certified by a professional engineer, to prevent releases of oil to waters of the United States. SPCC plans generally are required for a broad cross-section of facilities with aboveground storage capacity of 1,320 gallons or underground capacity in excess of 42,000 gallons of oil or oil-based products.
Join us for an intensive webinar on May 15, when you’ll learn all you need to know to cut through the clutter of these confusing, often-changing regulations – and how to stay in compliance.
You’ll learn:
- The added exemptions from the SPCC regulations for hot-mix asphalt operations, pesticide application equipment and related mix containers, and heating oil containers at single-family residences
- The clarified definition of “facility” for purposes of the SPCC rule, with regard to describing a facility’s boundaries
- How the EPA clarified the general secondary containment requirement
- Effective strategies to comply with amended security and integrity testing requirements
- Steps to take to streamline requirements for on-shore facilities
- The rules for exempted underground oil storage tanks at nuclear power generation facilities
- Best practices for containment, control, and countermeasures storage and loading/unloading
- How to assess your existing SPCC program to identify – and fix – potential gaps
- Keys to determine whether your facility is Tier I or Tier II
