SPCC Compliance & Spill Prevention Plans
At Clean Stormwater Inc., we provide Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan Development for facilities storing up to 10,000 gallons of oil or petroleum-based products. Under EPA and EGLE regulations, facilities with an aggregate above-ground oil storage capacity of 1,320 gallons must develop and implement an SPCC Plan to prevent oil spills from contaminating navigable waters or shorelines.
While facilities exceeding 10,000 gallons require a Professional Engineer (PE) certification, we specialize in Tier I and Tier II self-certified SPCC plans for facilities below this threshold, ensuring compliance without the added cost of PE certification.

Understanding SPCC Plan Requirements
- Who Needs an SPCC Plan?
- Any facility with an aggregate above-ground oil storage capacity of 1,320 gallons or more (including tanks, drums, and oil-filled equipment)
- Facilities with the potential to discharge oil into navigable waters or adjoining shorelines
- Tier I vs. Tier II SPCC Plans
- Tier I – For facilities with 10,000 gallons or less and no individual tank above 5,000 gallons, allowing self-certification using the EPA’s Tier I template
- Tier II – For facilities with 10,000 gallons or less but containing individual tanks above 5,000 gallons, requiring a more detailed self-certified SPCC Plan
- Facilities Above 10,000 Gallons
- Must have an SPCC Plan certified by a Professional Engineer (PE), which we do not provide but can guide facilities on the next steps
SPCC Plan Development for Other States
While our primary focus is Michigan, we assist facilities in surrounding states with SPCC Plan development following EPA’s federal SPCC regulations. Since most states adopt EPA’s 40 CFR Part 112 standards, our expertise ensures compliance regardless of location.
By working with Clean Stormwater Inc., your facility receives a cost-effective, compliant SPCC Plan that meets all regulatory requirements for facilities under 10,000 gallons, avoiding unnecessary PE certification costs. Contact us today to discuss your SPCC compliance needs.
