Practical SPCC compliance resources for facility managers and EHS professionals.
Containment Compliance exists because EPA regulations shouldn’t require a law degree to understand.
We’re a team of environmental compliance professionals who spent years watching facilities struggle with the same questions: Do I need an SPCC plan? How do I size secondary containment? What actually triggers a violation?
The answers exist in 40 CFR Part 112. But they’re buried in regulatory language that assumes you already know what you’re looking for.
We built this resource to fix that.
We translate regulations into action. Every guide on this site connects EPA requirements to specific steps you can take. No vague advice. No “consult a professional” cop-outs on questions we can actually answer.
We recommend products that work. When you need a spill pallet, IBC containment, or portable berm, we point you to equipment that meets compliance requirements at fair prices. We partner with leading manufacturers and may earn a commission on purchases—but we only recommend products we’d specify for our own facilities.
We destroy compliance myths. The “110% rule” isn’t in the regulation. Vegetable oil isn’t exempt from SPCC. Five-year reviews are required even if nothing changed. We correct the misinformation that creates false confidence and real violations.
We call it the Tired Expert voice—the way an experienced EHS professional explains things after their third coffee when they’re done being polite about bad information:
Facility managers who just learned SPCC exists and need to know if it applies to them.
EHS professionals who understand the regulations but need efficient resources for training, documentation, and product selection.
Operations teams who handle oil daily and need to know what containment actually protects them.
Small business owners who can’t afford consultants but can’t afford violations either.
The information on this site is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of publication. EPA regulations change. State requirements vary. Your specific situation may have factors we can’t anticipate.
We’re not your consultant, your lawyer, or your PE. We’re a resource that helps you understand what questions to ask and what answers to look for.
When you need professional certification, engineering review, or legal advice, we’ll tell you. And when you don’t—when you just need clear information and compliant equipment—we’ll give you exactly that.
