32 C.F.R. § 650.208 General.
Title 32 - National Defense
Regulations have been issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as required by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) amendments of 1972, to prevent discharges of oil into the navigable waters of the United States and to contain these discharges if they do occur. These regulations require installations having certain nontransportation-related onshore and offshore oil storage facilities (as described below) to prepare, maintain, and implement a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC plan) to prevent and control the discharge of oil and hazardous substances before they occur. (a) The SPCC plan will identify potential sources of oil and hazardous substances and the measures required to prevent and contain any accidental discharge resulting from equipment or storage facility failure. The SPCC plan is directed by Title 40 CFR part 112, copies of which are available from the EPA, Washington, DC 20242 or from any EPA regional office. (b) Army installations will prepare and implement a current SPCC plan when their oil or hazardous substance storage facilities meet any one of the following: (1) Aggregate above-ground oil storage, at any one location on the installation, is greater than 1,320 gallons. (2) Any single tank above-ground oil storage, at any one location on the installation, is greater than 660 gallons. (3) Total underground oil storage, at any one location on the installation, is greater than 42,000 gallons. (4) Single bulk storage of hazardous liquid substances (acids, chemical solvents, etc.) is greater than 500 gallons. The 500 gallon limit represents that total combined quantity of hazardous liquid substance at a single storage location on an installation. (5) Nontransportation-related onshore and offshore facilities which, because of their location or operations, could reasonably be expected to discharge oil or hazardous material in harmful quantities into or upon the navigable waters of the United States. (c) For purposes of an SPCC plan, the oil storage facilities will include, but not be limited to, storage for a facility such as a heating or boiler plant, electric generating unit, fuel dispensing or transfer facility, tank car or truck loading/unloading rack, bulk fuel storage, etc. An above-ground or underground oil storage facility may be a single tank or grouping of tanks in a localized area on an installation.
