ARE YOU UP-TO-DATE WITH YOUR SPCC PLANS?

• Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 112 requires a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan be prepared for each oil and gas production facility.
• Administered under the authority of the EPA, these regulations require the operator of the facility to prepare and implement a plan to prevent a discharge of oil into the waters of the United States and to provide for rapid response and clean-up should a discharge occur.
• The District office has a copy of an informative booklet published by the EPA describing SPCC Plans which may be copied; or you can contact the EPA direct at 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, TX 75202. (http://www.epa.gov/oilspill/)
• Also, the American Petroleum Institute has a publication, API Bulletin D 14, 'Suggested Procedures for Development of Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plans' which describes the preparation of these plans. (http://www.api.org/cat/)
• Just a reminder, for any spill/discharge at an oil or gas producing facility, call the local CES or the District Office, immediately, then the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802 and within one hour call the State Police at 1-877-925-6595 (both are toll-free).
