Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasure

An SPCC plan must be prepared by all facilities subject to regulation. This plan is to help prevent any discharge of oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. The main thrust of the SPCC regulation is prevention as opposed to after-the-fact reactive measures commonly described in Oil Spill Contigency Plans. The rule requires specific facilities to prepare, amend, and implement SPCC Plans.
