Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) regulations established spill prevention procedures for:

• A. Hazardous waste manufacturers
• B. TSDF facilities
• C. Landfill facilities
• D. USTs and ASTs

Answer: (D)

SPCC regulations focus on preventing oil spills from on-site storage facilities, specifically the storage of oil in tanks. The correct choice identifies where these spill prevention procedures apply: underground storage tanks and aboveground storage tanks that hold oil on site. SPCC plans are required for facilities that store oil above certain thresholds, and they cover measures to prevent spills, contain liquids, and respond quickly if a spill occurs, so it doesn’t reach navigable waters or shorelines. Hazardous waste manufacturers, TSDF facilities, and landfill facilities are governed mainly by RCRA and related regulations for waste handling, not SPCC. SPCC targets oil storage and spill prevention, not general hazardous waste management.
