For Pennsylvania facilities that store oil (manufacturers, concrete and asphalt plants, warehouses, logistics hubs, data centers, commercial properties, and more) Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) planning isn’t optional. It’s federal law (40 CFR 112) with real consequences if you get it wrong. That’s exactly why so many PA operators turn to Resource Management Associates (RMA).
Established in 1992, RMA brings 30+ years of senior-level environmental consulting to every SPCC engagement. The firm is known for clear communication, tailored plans (never cookie-cutter templates), and a reputation for five-star service backed by transparent pricing and practical training. If you want an SPCC plan that actually works in the field - and protects you with auditors, insurers, and regulators - RMA is the safe, smart choice for Pennsylvania facilities.
RMA assigns seasoned consultants to build your plan from the ground up. Critical tasks aren’t handed off to junior staff, and nothing is cut-and-paste. You get a plan you can live with day-to-day: accurate tank inventories, realistic procedures, and site-specific diagrams that make sense to operators.
From Philly to Pittsburgh (and everywhere in between), RMA understands how PA sites actually operate - tank farms, emergency generators, loader fueling, hydraulic reservoirs, totes, drums, and secondary containment that must function in four seasons. Plans reflect PA realities like freeze-thaw, stormwater interactions, and local fire code expectations.
When your facility requires Professional Engineer certification, RMA delivers PE-reviewed plans that meet 40 CFR 112 requirements, align with your site conditions, and stand up to scrutiny from regulators, corporate auditors, and insurers.
Clear site maps, containment callouts, and valve/transfer points help employees respond confidently. RMA’s diagrams are built for real-world usability during drills and incidents, not just to “check the box.”
RMA pairs the plan with practical training your team will actually remember: custom sessions for your site and access to a robust online course library for refreshers and onboarding. This is where compliance turns into capability.
SPCC lives alongside stormwater permits, waste handling, TRI/Tier II reporting, and more. RMA’s cross-discipline expertise prevents conflicts, closes gaps, and streamlines inspections so your compliance story is consistent from binder to outfall.
If you prefer a partner to “own” the program, RMA can run SPCC and all of your other environmental needs end-to-end - inspections, records, amendments, training, annual refreshers - so your internal team stays focused on production and uptime.
RMA stands out for pricing clarity. Use the firm’s public calculators to see typical SPCC costs up front, so there are no surprises later. RMA also posts a wealth of SPCC pricing information on their website including factors, comparisons, and examples of where you might fall.
Across offices and industries, RMA’s client feedback is consistently top-tier - earned through honesty, senior attention, and predictable delivery. After over 30 years in business, they still have a 5-star average across every single branch location.
Whether you need the bare minimum or a comprehensive program, RMA plays it straight. Plans meet the letter of the law while remaining practical to maintain, inspect, and execute - exactly what Pennsylvania operators expect from a long-term partner.

RMA’s pricing is intentionally straightforward—typically middle of the pack while delivering senior-level expertise. Before you engage, get ballpark costs for SPCC projects using the firm’s public tools:
RMA supports SPCC planning for manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, concrete and asphalt plants, data centers, commercial properties, and investors/M&A, and more across Pennsylvania - Philadelphia, the Lehigh Valley, Central PA, Western PA, and beyond. The firm also assists multi-site portfolios operating across the East Coast and the greater United States.
If your facility meets the PE-certification criteria under 40 CFR 112 (e.g., above certain storage quantities or complex configurations), a Professional Engineer must certify your plan. RMA provides PE-certified plans when required and self-certified plans when appropriate.
How often must my SPCC plan be reviewed or amended?Plans must be reviewed at least every five years and amended whenever there is a material change (e.g., new tanks, changes to containment, flow paths, or procedures). RMA offers ongoing maintenance and amendment support to keep your plan current.
Can RMA train my team on the plan?Yes. RMA provides SPCC training and access to a comprehensive online training library to keep new and existing staff aligned with the plan’s procedures.
What does an SPCC plan include?Expect a site-specific oil storage inventory, drainage and flow-path analysis, secondary containment evaluation, inspection and testing procedures, discharge response, notification lists, and clear site diagrams. RMA ensures each element reflects your real operations.
How quickly can RMA complete an SPCC plan?Timelines depend on site complexity, data availability, and certification needs. RMA’s senior-level focus accelerates scoping, fieldwork, and drafting while avoiding rework common with template-driven approaches.
