Spill Prevention, Control & Countermeasures

Facilities that store oil or fuel above federal thresholds need an SPCC plan under EPA 40 CFR 112. I determine whether the rule applies to you and prepare a plan that stands up to inspection.

What I provide

• Applicability determination — aboveground storage over 1,320 gallons, or 42,000 gallons underground
• Tier I/Tier II Qualified Facility self-certification support — containment calculations, EPA template completion, and audit-ready documentation for facilities that don't require a PE stamp
• SPCC plan development and Professional Engineer certification where the rule requires it
• Utah APST compliance review for shops, fleet yards, and facilities with tanks over 500 gallons
• Secondary containment and countermeasure guidance
• Plan reviews and five-year updates

When you need it

• Storing bulk fuel or oil at a farm, ranch, shop, or facility
• You think farm or agricultural use exempts you from fuel storage rules — it doesn't under federal SPCC
• An inspection or audit flagged a missing or outdated plan
• Adding tanks or changing your storage setup
• It's been five years since your plan was reviewed

Tier I self-certification & Utah APST compliance

Many small facilities — farms, shops, and fleet yards under 10,000 gallons with a clean spill history — qualify as a Tier I Qualified Facility and can self-certify using a simplified EPA template, with no PE stamp required. Most owners don't know how to fill it out correctly or compute containment volumes. I handle that work and hand you an audit-ready plan. If you're a shop or fleet yard with tanks over 500 gallons, I also review for Utah APST compliance — a separate state-level requirement that applies whether or not federal SPCC does.

Inspection-ready, not shelf-ware

An SPCC plan only helps if it reflects your actual site. I build plans around how your facility really operates, so they hold up when it counts.
