§ 650.213 - General.

A National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan was developed in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) Amendments of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.) and requires Federal agencies to develop a plan to clean up discharges of oil and hazardous substances for which they are responsible. Commanders will maintain an Installation Spill Contingency Plan (ISCP) to identify resources to be used to clean up discharges on Army installations and will be prepared to provide assistance to non-DA agencies when requested. (AR 500-60 provides policy and guidance for the DA response to the National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan to assist EPA and the USCG in spills caused by other than DA agencies.)

(a) The ISCP will establish the responsibilities, duties, procedures, and resources to be employed, to contain and clean up accidental discharges.

(b) All Army installations will maintain a current ISCP which will be reviewed and evaluated at least once every 3 years.

(c) The resources identified for possible use by a RRT in support of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan are to be specifically identified as an element of the ISCP.

(d) The ISCP will be simulated at least annually by the installation commander in coordination with the responsible officers of the SPCC Plan in order to ensure timely and effective personnel and equipment response in the event of an accidental discharge.

(e) Copies of original ISCP and any changes will be kept on file at installation facility engineer (FE) office and at MACOM environmental office.

(f) All Army installations will establish a thorough training program for oil spill response personnel.
