# SPCC Plan Author (40 CFR 112) > Author complete Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan packages for US facilities under 40 CFR Part 112, including applicability, Tier I/Tier II/PE certification track, containment sizing, inspection schedules, training logs, and 5-year review support. Tags: EPA, SPCC, Clean Water Act, Oil, United States, Environmental ## Example Prompts - Draft a Tier I SPCC Plan for our small fuel yard with three 1,000-gallon diesel ASTs and no spills - Create a PE-ready SPCC Plan for our manufacturing site with bulk oil tanks, loading areas, containment worksheets, and training logs - Review our SPCC Plan for the 5-year update and create the technical-amendment trigger checklist - Determine whether our facility qualifies for Tier II self-certification or needs a PE-certified SPCC Plan URL: https://rakenne.app/skills/us-epa-spcc-plan/index.md Try this skill: https://rakenne.app/a/?skill=us-epa-spcc-plan ## Overview Author complete Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan packages for US facilities under 40 CFR Part 112, including applicability, Tier I/Tier II/PE certification track, containment sizing, inspection schedules, training logs, and 5-year review support. ## What It Covers - Applicability screening for oil storage, non-transportation facility status, capacity thresholds, and discharge potential to navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. - Certification-track routing for Tier I qualified facilities, Tier II qualified facilities, and PE-certified SPCC Plans. - Oil-container inventory, facility diagram narrative, drainage/receptor description, secondary-containment worksheet, inspection and integrity-testing schedule, discharge-response procedures, training logs, five-year review, and 40 CFR Part 112 cross-reference matrix. - FRP / substantial-harm screening as a companion follow-up, not a replacement for SPCC Plan content. ## Example Conversation > **You:** We have a small maintenance yard with three 1,000-gallon diesel ASTs, a 275-gallon used-oil tote, no spills in the last three years, and drainage to a ditch that reaches a creek. Can you draft a Tier I SPCC Plan? > **Agent:** I’ll first screen SPCC applicability and Tier I eligibility. I’ll count aboveground oil containers of 55 gallons or more, check the 1,320-gallon threshold, confirm that no counted container exceeds 5,000 gallons, and document the clean discharge-history assumption. > **Agent:** Based on your facts, I’ll prepare a Tier I-style package with management approval, container inventory, diagram narrative, containment worksheet, inspection schedule, response notifications including NRC 1-800-424-8802, training log, five-year review attestation, and a 40 CFR Part 112 cross-reference matrix. > **Agent:** I’ll run `spcc_eligibility_assessor`, use `spcc_containment_sizer` where containment volumes are available, and finish with `spcc_completeness_checker` before handing the plan to your owner/operator and any required professional reviewer. ## Sample Output Excerpt Excerpt from a generated SPCC Plan package. --- ```markdown # Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure Plan Prepared for: [Facility / Operator] Plan track: Tier I qualified facility — draft pending owner/operator certification Effective date: [date] Last 5-year review: [date] ## Applicability Summary - Facility type: non-transportation-related maintenance yard - Counted aboveground oil capacity: 3,275 gallons - Completely buried oil capacity: 0 gallons - Reasonable discharge potential: drainage ditch to [receiving creek] - Discharge history: no qualifying discharges reported in prior 3 years [verify] ## Oil-Container Inventory | ID | Location | Contents | Capacity | Secondary containment | Inspection basis | | ------ | ---------------- | -------- | --------: | --------------------- | -------------------------------------- | | AST-1 | Fuel island | Diesel | 1,000 gal | Concrete berm | Visual inspection / facility procedure | | AST-2 | Fuel island | Diesel | 1,000 gal | Concrete berm | Visual inspection / facility procedure | | AST-3 | Fuel island | Diesel | 1,000 gal | Concrete berm | Visual inspection / facility procedure | | TOTE-1 | Maintenance shop | Used oil | 275 gal | Spill pallet | Visual inspection | ## Secondary Containment Worksheet Required volume = largest container + precipitation/freeboard allowance. Available volume and engineering basis: [evidence required] ``` ## Extension Tools **`spcc_eligibility_assessor`** screens container capacity and discharge-history inputs to identify likely federal SPCC capacity applicability and the draft certification track: below threshold, Tier I qualified facility, Tier II qualified facility, or PE-certified plan. **`spcc_containment_sizer`** calculates largest-container secondary-containment volume plus precipitation/freeboard allowance and compares it with available containment capacity for each area. **`spcc_completeness_checker`** checks an SPCC draft file or package directory for required drafting signals: applicability, certification track, facility/operator profile, site diagram and drainage, oil-container inventory, secondary containment, inspections and integrity testing, transfer/loading controls, discharge response and NRC notification, training, five-year review, FRP screening, and 40 CFR Part 112 cross-reference matrix. ## Getting Started Add facility facts to the workspace: site profile, oil-container inventory, SDS/oil list, site plan or drainage sketch, containment dimensions, spill history, inspection records, training records, emergency contacts, and prior SPCC Plans. Then ask the skill to screen applicability, draft a Tier I/Tier II/PE-ready package, or update the plan for a five-year review. --- Back to [Skill Library](https://rakenne.app/skills/index.md)
