Oil Spill Prevention, Clean-up and Reporting Webinar: What Federal EPA Requires

On Jan. 8, 2013, from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. ET, US EPA’s SPCC Technical Team Leader will give you the exact information you need on federal Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasure (SPCC) program requirements. This program applies in all 50 states and regulates any construction site that has the capacity to store more than 1,320 gallons of oil.  Since EPA’s Nov. 2011 compliance deadline, ALL “regulated” jobsites must have a compliant SPCC Plan in place before starting work. Don’t miss this opportunity to get your real-world SPCC issues addressed by EPA’s SPCC leader.  This AGC webinar will allow you and your team to -- Review requirement; learn how to implement compliant procedures and plans to reduce the occurrence of spills; discuss most common errors and violations.    What’s YOUR Biggest Environmental Risk? Regardless of the type of work you do, any jobsite or facility that stores “oil” of any type in drums or tanks must adhere to US EPA’s SPCC (Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasure) program requirements – or risk being fined.  Failure to comply with EPA’s SPCC requirements can cost you $37,500 per day per violation! Click here to register and learn need-to-know strategies to keep your construction jobsite compliant.
  • Easy to understand explanation of EPA’s rules (straight out of EPA’s mouth)
  • Specific answer to exactly what “oil” substances are regulated (asphalt cement is on the list!)
  • What EPA is looking for when it does a site inspection (see real-life pictures of common violations)
