What is it?
An SPCC Plan, which stands for Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan, is a document that outlines the procedures and measures a facility must take to prevent oil spills and to contain and clean up spills if they do occur.
Who needs one?
SPCC plans are required for facilities that store or handle oil or oil products in aboveground containers with a combined capacity of 1,320 gallons or more, or in completely buried containers with a combined capacity of 42,000 gallons or more.
I don't have one, should I be worried?
Yes. Here's a few reasons why.
- Environmental fines
- Cleanup costs
- Reputation damage
- Legal fees
- Increased insurance premiums
- Lost business opportunities
- Reduced property value
