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 Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management.

It is our understanding that Rhode Island has spill prevention and emergency plan requirements for outdoor aboveground storage tanks greater than 500 gallons in capacity or more, unless exempted.
