Join us for an in-depth view of the federal requirements for Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans. Spill Plans often miss the boat when it comes to evaluation and implementation of specific equipment and procedures which will prevent spills. This is especially important as it relates to faulty or missing code required spill and overfill equipment. Recent litigation by tank owners against Spill Plan preparers after an avoidable release is supported by the specific wording of 40 CFR 112 and other guidance from the EPA. Thus, this presentation includes the elements of a Spill Plan which will both meet the letter and spirit of the Federal regulations and prevent fuel spills.
