SPCC

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Planning

Specialized Spill Planning Built on Regulatory Precision and Operational Reality

Spill planning and mitigation is often treated as a routine compliance exercise—but when plans are generic, outdated, or disconnected from actual operations, they fail when it matters most.

While many consultancies offer SPCC services, few specialize in them. Odyssey brings a deep command of SPCC regulations, industry standards, and best practices to develop spill plans that fully comply with federal requirements and accurately reflect how facilities truly operate.

Our SPCC plans are practical, defensible, and inspection-ready—designed to reduce spill risk, support emergency response, and withstand regulatory scrutiny.

What Effective SPCC Planning Achieves

  • Clear determination of SPCC applicability and obligations
  • Accurate inventories of oil storage and transfer equipment
  • Reduced spill risk through practical prevention measures
  • Defensible plans aligned with facility operations
  • Confidence during regulatory inspections and audits

From initial applicability reviews to ongoing plan maintenance, Odyssey provides end-to-end SPCC support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an SPCC Plan?

An SPCC Plan is a federally required document that outlines how a facility prevents, controls, and responds to oil spills that could impact navigable waters or adjoining shorelines.

How do I know if my facility needs an SPCC Plan?

Applicability depends on oil storage capacity, location, and spill potential. Odyssey performs formal applicability determinations to provide clarity and documentation.

When is a Professional Engineer required to certify an SPCC Plan?

A PE is required for non-qualified facilities or when certain technical criteria are met. Odyssey coordinates PE-certified plans when required.

How often must SPCC Plans be updated?

Plans must be reviewed every five years and updated whenever there are material changes to operations, storage, or site layout.

Can Odyssey help prepare for SPCC inspections?
