EPA extends compliance date for SPCC Plans

The US Environmental Protection Agency has extended the compliance date for facilities to meet amended Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plan requirements.  All facilities, including farms, must prepare or amend and implement an SPCC Plan by November 10, 2010.

Facilities that were in operation before August 16, 2002, must continue to maintain and implement their existing SPCC Plans until required to revise and implement their Plans under the amended regulations.

For more information on compliance with SPCC Plan requirements, visit www.tcozzie.com/spill_prevention.htm, or contact T. Cozzie Consulting for assistance.
