You will need to make a plan that says how you will stop spills, and what you will do if a spill happens. This is called a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan. It must describe the steps, equipment, and workforce you will use.
Talk with us to determine what type of regulation you'll need to follow. We will give you more details after you talk with us and get connected with a district inspector. They'll give you the right template or guidance to create these plans properly.
4. Follow your plan
Once you have a plan, you must follow what it says to prevent and handle spills.
We will inspect your site regularly to make sure you are following related laws.
