Abstract |
In 2002, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) amended the Oil Pollution Prevention regulation (40 CFR part 112), which includes requirements for specific facilities to prepare, amend, and implement Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans. The regulation is largely performance-based (as requested in comments from the regulated community), which allows flexibility in meeting the rule requirements to prevent discharges of oil to navigable waters and adjoining shorelines. EPA developed this guidance document to assist regional inspectors in implementing the SPCC program and in understanding its applicability, and to help clarify the role of the inspector in reviewing a facility's implementation of performance-based flexibility provisions, such as environmental equivalence and impracticability. |
