U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY SPCC FIELD INSPECTION AND PLAN REVIEW CHECKLIST ONSHORE OIL PRODUCTION, DRILLING, AND WORKOVER FACILITIES Overview of the Checklist This checklist is designed to assist EPA inspectors in conducting a thorough and consistent inspection of a facility's compliance with the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule at 40 CFR part 112. It is a tool to help federal inspectors (or their contractors) record observations during the site visit and review of the SPCC Plan. While the checklist is comprehensive, the inspector should always refer to the SPCC rule in its entirety, the SPCC Regional Inspector Guidance Document, and other relevant guidance for evaluating compliance. This checklist must be completed in order for an inspection to count toward an agency measure (i.e., OEM/OECA inspection measures or GPRA). The checklist is organized according to the SPCC rule. Each item in the checklist identifies the relevant section and paragraph in 40 CFR part 112 where that requirement is stated. Sections 112.1 through 112.5 specify the applicability of the rule and requirements for the preparation, implementation, and amendment of SPCC Plans. For these sections, the checklist includes data fields to be completed, as well as several questions with "yes" or "no" answers. Sections 112.7 through 112.11 specify requirements for spill prevention, control, and countermeasures. For these sections, the inspector needs to evaluate whether the requirement is addressed adequately or inadequately in the SPCC Plan and whether it is implemented adequately in the field (either by field observation or record review). For the SPCC Plan and implementation in the field, if a requirement is addressed adequately, mark the "Yes" box in the appropriate column. If a requirement is not addressed adequately, mark the "No" box. If a requirement does not apply to the particular facility, mark the "NA" box. If a provision of the rule applies only to the SPCC Plan, the "Field" column is shaded. Space is provided in each section to record comments. Additional space is available on the comments page at the end of the checklist. Comments should remain factual and support the evaluation of compliance. Appendix A is for recording information about containers and other locations at the facility that require secondary containment. Appendix B is a checklist for documentation of the tests and inspections the facility operator is required to keep with the SPCC Plan. Appendix C is a checklist for oil removal contingency plans. A contingency plan is required if a facility determines that secondary containment is impracticable as provided in 40 CFR 112.7(d).
