Spill Prevention, Control, Countermeasures, & Facility Response Plans
In 1974 the Clean Water Act set the SPCC Rule into effect, which is Part 112 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR). Essentially, any facility with oil storage in excess of 1,320 gallons in containers of 55-gallons or more is subject to the requirements of the rule. In its 50-year history there have been multiple iterations and shifting interpretations of the rule. There are hundreds of thousands of facilities that are subject to the SPCC rule ranging from small-volume commercial facilities and farms to large refinery facilities with millions of gallons of storage. Also, facilities that meet “substantial harm” criteria (generally storing over 1 million gallons of oil) are required to prepare facility response plans (FRPs) in accordance with requirements of Part 112.
