Federal Law, 40 CFR 112 requires that all owners of aboveground storage tanks in oil service must prepare and implement a Spill Prevention, Containment and Countermeasures (SPCC) plan by November 10, 2011. Under many common circumstances, SPCC plans must be prepared under the supervision of a registered professional engineer. Course authors Joey Barnes, P.E. and John G. Dzwonczyk, P.E., C.F.P.S. have prepared over 200 SPCC plans themselves, and have developed a simple model for producing them using an online system that captures site specific data and formats it into a user-friendly, compliant product.
This course gives a thorough treatment of the requirements of SPCC plans, provides resource material and instructions on how owners and engineers can use the online system to simplify plan preparation while meeting the complex requirements established by the EPA's rules.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Interpret the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) regulations in 40 CFR Part 112.
- Identify the components of an SPCC plan.
- Describe how EPA expects SPCC plans to be presented.
- Explain the activities involved in an SPCC field survey.
- Identify an owner's obligations with respect to SPCC plans.
- Explain why professional engineers are essential for compliance in many cases and the disadvantages that may apply when owners qualify for self-certification.
- Describe what to expect from EPA oversight of SPCC compliance.
- Evaluate the business implications of adding SPCC plan services to an engineering offering.
- Explain how recent technological capabilities can shorten the learning curve for engineers entering the SPCC business line and improve competitiveness as land-development-based work declines.
- Identify forms and checklists that can increase the value of an SPCC plan to an owner.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 40 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
