Hazardous Material Disclosure / Business Emergency Plan

Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan is a carefully thought-out plan that includes procedures, methods, and equipment at the facility to prevent discharges of petroleum from reaching navigable waters. SPCC Plan must be certified by a Registered Professional Engineer (PE) or the tank facility (self-certification). A complete copy of the SPCC plan must be maintained on site. The SPCC Plan must be reviewed, updated, and re-certified every five years.

SPCC Plan and certification requirements are based on the type and storage capacity of the tank facility:
