EPA is proposing more new SPCC regulations

EPA is proposing to allow the use of an SPCC Plan template for a subset of qualified facilities known as “Tier 1” qualified facilities. These are facilities with no individual oil storage container with a capacity greater than 5,000 U.S. gallons up to an aggregate of 10,000 gallons.  In an earlier regulatory revision, EPA allowed facilities with less than 10,000 gallons of oil stored aboveground to perform “self-certification” in lieu of certification by a Professional Engineer.
