Does your facility store emergency containers ≥55 gal on site for the hurricane season?

If your facility stores emergency containers ≥55 gal on site for the hurricane season, this may trigger the need for an SPCC Plan. Also, these containers must be included in an existing SPCC Plan. The containers qualify for inclusion into the Plan if they are intended to be used for oil storage, regardless of whether they are filled or empty. The SPCC Rule states under §112.1(b)(2) that “Any container that is used for standby storage, for seasonal storage, or for temporary storage, or not otherwise permanently closed…” as defined in §112.2. must be included in your SPCC Plan.

RCP can assist you in making this determination and in updating your plans as required. The SPCC Rule compliance deadline is quickly approaching, so don’t waste anymore time. Contact Jessica Roger for assistance or to answer your questions!
