"From the Introduction: " The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance to prevent spills of hazardous substances from fixed facilities that produce hazardous substances from raw or starter materials as products, byproducts or waste products; store hazardous substances; or transport hazardous substances. The audience to be addressed includes managerial iand supervisory personnel as well as "hands on" personnel associated with smaller-sized chemical manufacturing facilities. The hazardous substances in question number almost 700, excluding oil, and are those designated persuant to Section 101 (14) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, otherwise known as CERCLA or Superfund (Public Law 96-510). The earlier Clean Water Act (Public Law 92-500) in Section 311, required that the President issues regulations "establishing procedures, methods and equipment . . . to prevent discharges of oil and hazardous substances from vessels and from onshore and offshor facilities. . . ." Under a 1973 executive order, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was to promulgate regulations for preventing nontransportation-related spills. In 1973, EPA issued oil pollution prevention regulations (40 CFR Part 112) that require certain fixed facilities to have on file a spill prevention, control and countermeasures plan (SPCC plan). These regulations have been largely accepted by industry and have proven to be effective in preventing oil spills. In the case of hazardous substances, no similar federal regulations exist at this time. In its own interest, a large segment of the industry producing, storing, and handling hazardous substances has institutedinternal spill prevention plans. However, many of the smaller affected faciliti
This manual guides Navy areas in developing and implementing their Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure plan (SPCC Plan) for oil and hazardous substances (HS). This document is required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Part 40 of the Code of Federal Regulation, Section 112 (20 CFR 112), the Oil Pollution Prevention regulation, and OPNAVINST 5090.1B, for oil area meeting the criteria in 40 CFR 112. Spill control measures are required for hazardous waste (HW) storage areas regulated by either 40 CFR 264 or 40 CFR 265. Additionally, some spill control measures are required for underground storage tanks (UST) regulated by 40 CFR 280. HW storage areas, not specifically regulated by the above referenced regulations, do not have regulated spill control requirements; however, it is considered best engineering practice to have spill control measures at all HS storage areas. Therefore, it is recommended that all HS storage areas be included in Navy SPCC plans. For overseas locations please refer to OEBGD/FGS criteria for spill prevention guidance.
