SPCC Rule Introduction• Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 112
issued by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
= 40 CFR 112= Oil Pollution Prevention regulation= SPCC Rule!
• SPCC Rule initially published in 1973• Major revisions in 2002• Additional revisions in 2008, with final rule in 2009

SPCC Rule Basics• Goal - Protect navigable waters of the U.S.
- Protect the environment and public health- Keep oil out of our water
• How? - The SPCC Rule implements requirements for facilities that store over the threshold quantity of oil
4
• The language in the SPCC Rule is intentionally broad to allow flexible implementation, but can cause confusion.
• USEPA has a 900+ page SPCC guidance document

Minimize Your Chances of a Discharge• Inspections
• Regularly inspect oil containers• Look for signs of leakage, deterioration, damage• Identify items that require maintenance
• Training• Annual training required• Understand your facility’s oil sources• Know who to call if there is a spill
26

Minimize Your Chances of a Discharge• Have standard methods for completing routine
tasks (Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs))• Oil transfer checklist
• Use best management practices (BMPs) when completing oil transfers• Use a funnel when manually transferring into a drum• Cover nearby storm drains• Confirm sufficient capacity is available before filling
27

Evaluating the Risk of a Spill• Spilled Material
• Viscosity – how fast will it flow• PCBs or other hazardous material
• Surface Material• Concrete • Compacted/Loose Gravel• Grassed/vegetated area
28

Evaluating the Risk of a Spill• Containment/Diversionary Structures
• Will the spill be fully/partially contained?
• Nearby pathways• Storm/sanitary inlets• Swales/ditches/culverts• Waterways – ponds/lakes/rivers
29

What You Can do Now to be Prepared for an Oil Spill• Evaluate oil sources
• Maintenance needed?• Do they have secondary containment?
• Review discharge prevention and spill response steps• Do they make sense?• Would you know what to do?
• Spill kits need re-filling?
30
![Page 31: Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans ... Spill Response Presentatio… · Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans and Spill Response 2019](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052518/5f06c1f77e708231d4199591/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What You Can do Now to be Prepared for an Oil Spill• Training – does your staff know what to do?
• Know the facility oil sources• Know who to call
• Review your SPCC Plan• Emergency contacts up to date? • Oil sources all listed in correct location with correct oil type/volume?
31

Spill Response Steps1. Assess potential risks (fire, explosion, electric shock)2. Determine the source, approximate volume, size of
the spill, PCB presence, and direction of flow 3. Contact the Facility Emergency Coordinator (FEC)4. Under the FEC’s direction, select personal protective
equipment (PPE) and initiate actions to stop the source of the spill and place initial protection for receptors
5. Capture oil that has reached a waterway to prevent any further spreading downstream
6. Clean up oil by using absorbent materials, pumping, and removing oil-saturated earth or stone, as required
32
