the facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance that materially affects its potential for a discharge as described in §112.1(b). Examples of changes that may require amendment of the Plan include, but are not limited to: commissioning or decommissioning containers; replacement, reconstruction, or movement of containers; reconstruction, replacement, or installation of piping systems; construction or demolition that might alter secondary containment structures; changes of product or service; or revision of standard operation or maintenance procedures at a facility. An amendment made under this section must be prepared within six months, and implemented as soon as possible, but not later than six months following preparation of the amendment. A later subsection states the following § 112.5(c) - Except as provided in §112.6, have a Professional Engineer certify any technical amendments to your Plan in accordance with §112.3(d). At a minimum, per regulations, the plan needs to be reviewed and evaluated at least once every 5 years, form the date of the last review. If there is an change at the facility or the that falls under the criteria described above then the SPCC plan must be recertified at an earlier time than the 5 years. Although the generators have been at the facility and aren't new tanks that have been added to the facility, they are new to the SPCC plan. The certifying engineer, based on the SPCC plan, initially did not take into account the secondary containment of the operational equipment, or any of the other criteria that must be addressed by regulations for the operational equipment, the manifolded tanks or the selection of the industry standard. The certifying professional engineer must then certify the changes to the SPCC plan. Per regulations the engineer by certifying the plan is attesting to the following (i) That he is familiar with the requirements of this part ; (ii) That he or his agent has visited and examined the facility; (iii) That the Plan has been prepared in accordance with good engineering practice, including consideration of applicable industry standards, and with the requirements of this part; (iv) That procedures for required inspections and testing have been established; and (v) That the Plan is adequate for the facility. (vi) That, if applicable, for a produced water container subject to §112.9(c)(6), any procedure to minimize the amount of free-phase oil is designed to reduce the accumulation of free-phase oil and the procedures and frequency for required inspections, maintenance and testing have been established and are described in the Plan. For a facility that stores over 10,000 gallons of petroleum product this certification authority is only granted to the professional engineer. The facility is allowed to make non-technical changes that would not need the certification of the engineer, examples would include name updates, phone number updates or changes to the facility diagram, to list some.
