Program Description
The SPCC program, is designed to prevent oil spills from reaching navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines.
The program applies to facilities that store, handle, or use oil products above certain thresholds, and requires those facilities to develop and implement a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC Plan).
The SPCC Plan includes a detailed description of the facility's operations and the measures that will be taken to prevent spills, as well as procedures for spill response and cleanup. The program also includes requirements for regular inspections and testing, recordkeeping and reporting, and training of personnel.
- The CUPA requires SFSU to follow the procedures in our SPCC written program.
- That SPCC program requires us to conduct weekly, monthly, and annual internal inspections to identify leaks, signage, and safe operation of oil containing tanks that are 55 gallons or greater.
- Every five years, the CUPA reviews the SFSU SPCC written plan for accuracy, administrative changes to the plan and completeness.
