Introduction Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure(SPCC)plans for facilities are prepared and implemented as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Regulation contained in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112, (40 CFR 112). A non- transportation related facility is subject to SPCC regulations if. the aggregate aboveground capacity of the facility exceeds 1,320 gallons(excluding those tanks and oil filled equipment below 55 gallons in capacity) or if the aggregate underground capacity of the facility exceeds 42,000 gallons(excluding those that are currently subject to all of the technical requirements of 40 CFR Part 280 or all of the technical requirements of state programs approved under 40 CFR Part 281); and if,due to its location,the facility could reasonably be expected to discharge oil into or upon the navigable waters or adjoining shorelines of the United States. An SPCC plan is not required to be filed with the USEPA, but a copy will be available for on- site review by the Regional Administrator during normal working hours.

The facility discharges more than 1,000 gallons of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines in a single spill event; or 2. The facility discharges oil in quantities greater than 42 gallons in each of two spill events within any twelve-month period. The following spill information must be submitted to the Regional Administrator within 60 days if either of the above thresholds is reached. 1. Name of the facility. 2. Name of the individual submitting the information. 3. Location of the facility. capacity of the facility and normal daily 4. Maximum storage or handling throughput. 5.
