Description: Learn more about federal requirements under the Oil Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Program to prevent oil spills into waters of the United States and adjoining shorelines. Livestock and other operations are covered if they: store, transfer, use, or consume oil or oil products, such as diesel fuel, gasoline, lube oil, hydraulic oil, adjuvant oil, crop oil, vegetable oil, or animal fat; and store more than 1,320 US gallons in aboveground containers or more than 42,000 US gallons in completely buried containers; and could reasonably be expected to discharge oil to waters of the US or adjoining shorelines, such as interstate waters, intrastate lakes, rivers, and streams.
Speakers will explain the recent extension of the compliance deadline and the status of a proposed rule to exempt certain milk containers.
Speaker: J. Troy Swackhammer, of EPA's Office of Emergency Management.
