When storing oil or petroleum products over 1,320 gallons above ground or 42,000 gallons underground,...

The requirement for Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) planning is specifically mandated under Federal Regulations 40 CFR Part 112, under the Clean Water Act (Oil Pollution Act amendments). Facilities with aboveground storage exceeding 1,320 gallons or underground storage over 42,000 gallons must develop and implement an SPCC plan to prevent oil discharges into navigable waters.

Correct Answer (A): Federal 40 CFR Part 112 establishes the threshold quantities and program requirements.

B (Joint Commission): TJC standards govern utility management but do not set SPCC requirements.

C (OSHA 1926.153): This regulation applies to liquefied petroleum gas safety, not petroleum or oil spill prevention.

D (NFPA 430): Governs oxidizers, not oil storage or spill prevention.
