Tribal Oil Spill Prevention and Chemical Emergency Preparedness Webinars
These webinars are a free resource for tribal partners interested in understanding the implementation of oil spill prevention and chemical emergency preparedness regulations on tribal lands.
Environmental emergencies from oil spills or chemical accidents may occur, so it is important for tribal communities to be prepared and implement necessary prevention measures. The goal of these webinars is to assist tribes in understanding their role in:
- Preventing oil discharges under the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure regulation. In accordance with the Oil Pollution Prevention regulation at 40 CFR part 112, EPA requires certain facilities to prepare, amend, and implement Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure plans. The regulation is largely performance-based, which allows flexibility in meeting the rule requirements to prevent discharges of oil to navigable waters or adjoining shorelines.
- Preparing for chemical emergencies under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. This statute was created to help communities plan for chemical emergencies. It also requires industry to report on the storage, use and releases of hazardous substances to federal, state, tribal and local governments. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act requires state, tribal and local governments to use this information to prepare for and protect their communities from potential risks.
EPA offers various webinars for tribal audiences. All registered participants that attend the webinars will receive an electronic EPA certificate documenting participation.
