Unlike some other federal environmental programs, the Clean Water Act does not authorize EPA to delegate the SPCC program implementation or enforcement to state, local, or tribal representatives. Therefore, any state, territory, local, or tribal laws and regulations on oil spill prevention, control, and countermeasure cannot preempt federal SPCC requirements. Put another way, covered facilities in all U.S. locations must meet federal SPCC regulations.

States, territories, localities, and tribes may, however, add other and/or more stringent requirements in their jurisdictions. To be compliant with all authorities having jurisdiction, it is important to check with your state, territory, local, or tribal agencies for more information. See Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Pennsylvania DEP Division of Storage Tanks.

It is our understanding that Pennsylvania has requirements for a Preparedness, Prevention and Contingency (PPC) plan, as well as a Spill Prevention Response Plan, depending on the Pennsylvania Code if applicable.
