Looking for Help Understanding 40 CFR 112?

The oil pollution prevention regulation under 40 CFR 112 provides a framework to ensure effective responses to discharges of oil. SPCC plans like 40 CFR 112 are required by the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) regulations promulgated by the EPA. SPCC plans have the purpose of preventing oil discharges from reaching navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines.

Regulation 40 CFR 112 applies to non-transportation-related facilities with a total aboveground (i.e., not completely buried) oil storage capacity of greater than 1,320 gallons (gal), or total completely buried oil storage capacity greater than 42,000 gal.

In July 2002, final revisions to SPCC rules for 40 CFR 112 were adopted that eliminate duplicate regulation, exempt certain small facilities, exempt most wastewater treatment facilities, and require consideration of industry standards in SPCC plans.
