Spill Prevention, Control and Containment

What is an SPCC Plan?

An SPCC plan is a facility-specific, comprehensive plan outlining both the containment and countermeasures implemented to prevent a spill from occurring and a series of response procedures in the event that one does.

The SPCC plan addresses the following three areas:

• Operating procedures that prevent oil spills
• Control measures installed to prevent a spill from reaching the environment
• Countermeasures to contain, clean up, and mitigate the effects of an oil spill that reaches the environment

For more on the SPCC plan and regulation, see the EPA's Facility Owner/Operator Guide (opens in a new tab).

How to Select The Right Absorbent

Picking the right materials for spill control and containment is a bit of a science. Choose an absorbent that soaks up more than you need, and you may be paying too much. However, choose an absorbent that doesn’t soak up enough, and you may have to purchase more than you actually need.

There are three ways you can quickly assess if you're using the right materials:

• Check product type - Are you using pads for a leak that a SOC can contain?
• Check durability - Are your absorbents falling apart due to heavy traffic?
• Check absorbency - Are your absorbents being used to capacity?
