Proven SPCC Planning and Compliance Expertise to Safeguard Water Quality

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans ensure that facilities have in place the containment, procedures, and controls needed to prevent oil from reaching navigable waters and adjoining shorelines, and to effectively respond in the event of a spill. For more than 30 years, we have developed and maintained SPCC Plans for industrial facilities nationwide, providing plan preparation, updates, and compliance support that meet EPA requirements and protect operations.

Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasure Plan FAQs

An SPCC Plan is required under the Oil Pollution Prevention regulations (40 CFR Part 112) to help facilities prevent oil discharges into navigable waters or shorelines. It outlines prevention, containment, and response measures tailored to each facility.

SPCC Plans must be reviewed and evaluated at least once every five years to incorporate new prevention and control technologies and to confirm accuracy.

Plans must be revised within six months of making a technical amendment, such as equipment changes, facility modifications, or ownership updates, and the updated requirements must be implemented within the same timeframe.

EPA defines “oil” broadly, including petroleum products, synthetic oils, mineral oils, hydraulic oils, animal fats, vegetable oils, sludges, and any other oil mixtures without a minimum concentration threshold.

The SPCC rule focuses on preventing oil discharges, while the FRP rule requires certain facilities to prepare and maintain a detailed response plan for worst-case discharge scenarios. Many facilities may be subject to both rules
