Environmental Standard 7
Maintain a Spill Prevention Control and Counter-
measures (SPCC) plan at facilities with oil stor-
age capacity of 1,320 gallons or more.
Recent changes to the SPCC rules have allowed
facilities with less than 10,000 gallons of on-site
storage capacity to self prepare a written spill pre-
vention plan. The new rules are less stringent but
have also created a sense of urgency.
Title 40, Section 112 of the Code of Federal Regula-
tions (CFR) requires a Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasures (SPCC) plan for facilities with to-
tal aboveground petroleum product storage (i.e.,
new oil, used oil and fuel) capacity in excess of
1,320 gallons (container with volume of 55 gallons
or more only). SPCC plans are designed to mini-
mize the potential for a petroleum release to occur
and mitigate any environmental impacts in the event
one does occur.
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC)
Complete the facility inventory of petroleum storage tanks below to determine if your facility
needs an SPCC prepared during your I-CARE audit.
