Marty' spcc plan power point
This document provides an overview and summary of the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulation. It discusses who needs an SPCC plan, the requirements for SPCC plans including secondary containment and what must be included. It also covers qualified facilities that have a streamlined regulatory process for smaller oil storage facilities, allowing self-certification of their SPCC plan in lieu of professional engineering review and certification.
