Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan

What is the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan?

It is the oil pollution prevention regulation promulgated under the authority of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act).

The rule addresses requirements for Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) plans.

An SPCC plan is required by the Environmental Protection Agency if a facility can “reasonably be expected to discharge harmful amounts of oil into navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines."
