SPCC training starts with a hard truth: most environmental incidents don't begin as emergencies.

They begin as a drip. A loose fitting. An overlooked transfer. A few ounces of oil moving in the wrong direction.

Once oil reaches a storm drain or waterway, the focus often shifts from prevention to response and containment. That's why Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) programs emphasize what happens before a spill becomes a reportable discharge.

Effective containment begins before a spill occurs. Secondary containment, routine inspections, equipment maintenance, and employee training can help facilities reduce the likelihood and impact of oil releases.

What defines a reportable discharge?
Under federal oil pollution regulations, a discharge may be reportable when oil reaches navigable waters or adjoining shorelines and creates a visible sheen, causes a sludge or emulsion, or violates applicable water quality standards.

Which containers count toward the 1,320-gallon aboveground storage threshold?
In general, containers with a storage capacity of 55 gallons or greater are included when calculating a facility's total aboveground oil storage capacity, subject to applicable SPCC exemptions.

How often must an SPCC Plan be reviewed?
EPA regulations require facilities subject to SPCC requirements to review and evaluate their SPCC Plan at least once every five years and amend it whenever there is a material change that affects the facility's potential for an oil discharge.
