Region 8
Oil Regulations Workshop Announcement
In May 2012 EPA's Oil Program staff will conduct two free workshops on the oil pollution regulations and the requirements for a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. SPCC plans must be prepared and implemented by facilities which store, process, transfer, distribute, use, consume, drill, produce, gather, or refine oil or oil products. The term “oil” is defined as petroleum oils, including gasoline, asphalt, kerosene, motor oil, etc.; animal and fish oils; vegetable oils; synthetic oils; and any other kind of oil.
The workshops will be held on May 1, 2012 from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM & on May 1, 2012 from 1:00 PM until 4:00 PM. Each workshop will cover the requirements for oil and gas production and non-production facilities subject to the SPCC rule, and an update on the status of EPA’s revisions to the regulatory requirements for subject facilities. The workshops are identical. These workshops are free of charge, but you must register to attend. Both workshops will be held at the Utah Department of Environmental Quality/Division of Water Quality 195 North 1950 West 1st Floor Salt Lake City, UT 84116.
If you would like to register for one of the SPCC workshops, please complete the online registration form.
These workshops are free of charge, but you must register to attend.
These workshops will be limited to the first 100 registrants because of space limitations.
