Spill prevention and control plans are app licableto <br />any site at which hazardous materials are stored or used. An <br />effective plan should have spill prevention and response <br />procedures that identify potential spill areas, specify material <br />handling procedures, describe spill response procedures, and <br />provide spill clean-up equipment. The plan should take steps to <br />identify and characterize potential spills, eliminate and reduce <br />spill potential, respond to spills whentheyoccur in an effort to - <br />prevent pollutants from entering the stormwater drainage -- <br />system, and train personnel to prevent and control future spills. <br />Approach <br />Pollution Prevention <br />Develop procedures to prevent/mitigate spills to storm drain <br />systems. Develop and standardize reporting procedures, <br />containment, storage, and disposal activities, documentation, <br />and follow-up procedures. <br />Develop a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure <br />(SPCC) Plan. The plan should include: <br />Objectives <br />Cover <br />Contain <br />Educate <br />Reduce/Minimize <br />Product Substitution <br />Targeted Constituents <br />Sediment <br />Nutrients <br />Trash <br />Metals <br />Bacteria <br />Oil and Grease o <br />Organic <br />i <br />
