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 Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).

It is our understanding that Virginia requires an oil discharge contingency plan (ODCP) for certain aboveground storage tank (AST) facilities.
