SPCC, oil spill, and chemical release prevention and response
Spill prevention and response programmes cover containment design, response capability, and regulatory compliance for oil and chemical releases. Aligned to SPCC, OPA 90, and national oil spill contingency frameworks.
A practical, phased delivery approach — from gap assessment through operational embedding — built around your regulatory context.
Conduct spill risk assessment per facility — oil (SPCC threshold 1,320 gal / 5,000 L), chemical (Seveso Annex I), pipeline (PHMSA 49 CFR 195); profile credible-worst-case spill volume per tank / pipeline / transfer point.
Design secondary containment per SPCC 40 CFR 112 / Seveso / API 2030 / NFPA 30 — bund / dike capacity (110% of largest tank + freeboard), drainage with manual / automatic shutoff, sump / oil-water separator.
Author SPCC Plan per 40 CFR 112 / Seveso COMAH Reg.12 — facility description, oil / chemical inventory, containment, transfer procedures, security, training, drill, response equipment; align with PE certification for SPCC.
Specify spill response equipment cache — booms, sorbents, vacuum trucks, OWS, neutralisers; conduct annual training per OSHA HAZWOPER 1910.120(q); conduct annual drill per SPCC / Seveso with mutual-aid integration.
For pipelines, design leak detection per API 1130 / PHMSA 49 CFR 195 Subpart E — computational pipeline monitoring (CPM), pressure / flow trending, acoustic, fibre-optic; specify response time and emergency isolation per credible-worst-case.
Design post-incident response per NRT (US National Response Team) / OPA 90 / Seveso — notification (NRC, NRT, state, local), containment, recovery, decontamination, waste management, reporting; align with corporate insurance and liability.
