§ 650.211 - Minimum plan requirements.

As a minimum, the SPCC plan will contain—

(a) A detailed description of the equipment and measures specified for oil spill prevention, control, and countermeasure, including structures and equipment for diversion and containment of discharges, facility drainage, and identification of resources to cleanup spills. Measures adopted should permit as far as practical reclamation of spilled substance. Many prevention and control requirements are similar to safety requirements for the design and operation of oil tanks, pipelines and pumping facilities.

(b) A description of each nontransportation-related spill event that has occurred at that facility within the past 12 months with corrective actions taken, and plans for preventing recurrence.

(c) An inventory list of storage, handling, and transfer facilities for which there is a reasonable possibility of a significant discharge of oil or other hazardous polluting substances. For each listing, where experience indicates a reasonable potential for equipment failure (e.g., tank overflow, rupture, or leakage), include a prediction of the direction, rate of flow, and total quantity of oil which could be discharged as a result of a major type of failure.

(d) A graphic description showing all containment and/or diversionary structures or equipment required to prevent discharged oil from reaching a navigable water course. Included among the various preventive measures that can be employed are: Impervious berm and dike; curbing; culverting, gutters, or other drainage systems; weirs, booms, or other barriers; spill diversion ponds; and retention ponds. If it is not practicable to install structures, sorbent materials such as straw or commercial products can be used for containment or cleanup of spills at locations specified in the plan.

(e) When it is determined that the installation of the preventative structures or equipment listed in § 650.211(d) is not practicable, the installation commander will demonstrate fully such impracticability and include the written provisions of the Installation Spill Contingency Plan (ISCP) in this section of the SPCC plan.
