What Are The Fines For Non-Compliance?

According to EPA, more than 640,000 facilities are potentially regulated under the SPCC regulations. Many of those must have a written SPCC plan. Having an SPCC plan can and will help you. Consider:

• EPA fined a Maine energy corporation $157,500 for failing to implement SPCC plans for six facilities.

• EPA fined an Oklahoma company $32,940 for not having an SPCC plan.

You can’t risk any confusion about what the regulations require. EPA has increased its enforcement efforts, and SPCC plan compliance has become a top priority since the passage of the 2010 amended regulations.
