Federal spill prevention plans, certified and audit-ready.
EPA SPCC plans for facilities with aggregate above-ground oil storage > 1,320 gallons. Written, certified, integrated with your operations, and ready for the next inspection.
What sets our spcc plans apart.
- 01
Triggered by aggregate capacity
SPCC applies to any facility with > 1,320 gallons of aggregate above-ground oil storage capacity (or > 42,000 gallons underground). Most fueling facilities, generator-equipped buildings, and industrial sites we work with qualify.
- 02
Written, sealed, and reviewed every five years
An SPCC plan must be PE-certified (or self-certified for Tier I/II eligible facilities), kept on-site, reviewed every 5 years, and updated within 6 months of any material site change. We handle all of it.
- 03
Integrated with what you actually do
A binder on the shelf is worth nothing in an inspection. We write SPCC plans that match how your site actually operates — secondary containment, drainage, inspection routines, training records, and spill response procedures employees will actually follow.
How we work.
- STEP 01
Site assessment
We document every container of oil on the site, capacity, location, secondary containment, drainage paths, and existing spill prevention controls.
- STEP 02
Plan drafting
We draft the SPCC plan to 40 CFR 112 — including facility diagrams, containment calculations, inspection procedures, training requirements, and spill response.
- STEP 03
Certification & on-site delivery
We certify the plan (PE-certified or self-certified, depending on tier eligibility) and deliver the on-site copy plus electronic master.
- STEP 04
5-year review & amendments
We track your 5-year review date and amend the plan within 6 months of any material change — new tank, removed tank, ownership change, contained-spill event.
About spcc plans.
Does my facility need an SPCC plan?
If your aggregate above-ground oil storage capacity exceeds 1,320 gallons (counting tanks ≥ 55 gallons), or your underground storage exceeds 42,000 gallons, you need an SPCC plan under 40 CFR 112. This includes diesel generator tanks, heating oil tanks, lubricant drums — anything containing oil.
Can I self-certify my SPCC plan?
Tier I (≤ 10,000 gallons aggregate AGS, no single tank > 5,000 gallons, clean spill history) facilities can self-certify using EPA's template. Tier II facilities (≤ 10,000 gallons AGS but exceeding the single-tank limit) can self-certify a full plan. Larger facilities require PE certification. We handle all three tiers.
How often does the plan need updating?
Reviewed at least every 5 years and amended within 6 months of any material change — new or removed containers, modifications to secondary containment, ownership change, or a discharge event. We keep the review on your calendar so you don't miss it.
