3. Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Planning
It is the oil pollution prevention regulation (40 CFR 112) promulgated under the authority of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1251) – for “Facility” with above-ground storage of > 1,320 gallons
Establishes equipment, methods, and procedures to prevent discharges of oil into or upon waters of the United States

4. What types of “oils” are regulated?
“oil of any kind or in any form, including fats, oils, greases of animal, vegetable, or nut origin; and other oils and greases, including petroleum oil, fuel oil, sludge, synthetic oils, mineral oils, oil refuse, or oil mixed with other waste…”
For UMM, this includes waste cooking oils, transformer oils, fuels, lubricants, vehicle oils and hydraulic elevator fluids.

5. What are the SPCC regulations?
Must prepare a SPCC Plan – elements include: Facility Info, oil storage summary, spill assess, discharge prevention and spill response procedures.
The plan must certified by a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) and recertified every 5 yrs, or when tech. changes are made (ie, new containers).
Responsible person – UMM EHS Manager
