If your facility stores oil in excess of 1,320 gallons, you need a Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan to comply with federal regulations. Traditionally, businesses have hired environmental consultants for on-site visits to develop these plans. However, many facilities can now skip the hassle of an in-person evaluation by opting for a remote SPCC plan—a streamlined, cost-effective, and fully compliant alternative.
The EPA does not prohibit SPCC plans from being developed remotely as long as the plan is robust, complete, and meets all required elements. This means you can still check all required boxes without the delays and costs of an in-person visit. With more businesses looking for efficient ways to manage environmental compliance, remote SPCC plans are becoming a preferred option.
Let’s dive into the top five reasons businesses are switching to a virtual SPCC process and how it can benefit your facility.
Getting an SPCC plan the traditional way can take weeks—or even months—depending on consultant availability, travel time, and scheduling conflicts. For facilities that need compliance quickly, this delay can be a major issue, especially if an inspection or regulatory deadline is approaching.
With a remote SPCC process, you can submit your facility’s information and storage details immediately. Once received, environmental professionals can begin drafting your SPCC plan right away, often cutting the total timeline in half! Many businesses receive their completed plan in as little as a few weeks, instead of waiting a month or more for an on-site assessment.
This speed is particularly valuable for:
✅ New facilities that need compliance documentation before starting operations
✅ Facilities undergoing inspections or facing regulatory enforcement
✅ Businesses looking to update an existing SPCC plan without delays
If time is of the essence, a virtual SPCC plan is the fastest way to compliance.

One of the biggest advantages of a remote SPCC plan is cost savings. Traditional environmental consulting services can be expensive, especially when they involve travel expenses, site visit fees, and billable hours for in-person evaluations.
With a remote plan, businesses can eliminate many of these unnecessary costs while still getting a fully compliant, professionally prepared SPCC plan. This makes online SPCC services a budget-friendly solution, particularly for:
✔️ Small businesses that want to remain compliant without breaking the bank
✔️ Facilities with simple oil storage setups that don’t require a site visit
✔️ Companies with multiple locations looking for an efficient, cost-effective compliance strategy
You don’t have to sacrifice quality for affordability—a well-prepared remote SPCC plan includes everything an in-person plan would, including spill prevention measures, secondary containment requirements, and proper facility documentation.

Scheduling an in-person SPCC assessment can be disruptive. On-site consultants often require:
A remote SPCC process eliminates these headaches. Instead of rearranging your operations for a consultant’s visit, you simply:
This allows your team to stay focused on daily operations while ensuring compliance on your schedule—not the consultant’s.

SPCC plans aren’t one-and-done documents. Federal regulations require facilities to review and update their plan at least every five years—or sooner if changes occur, such as:
With a traditional SPCC plan, updating the document often means bringing a consultant back on-site, leading to additional costs and scheduling delays. However, a remote SPCC plan simplifies the revision process. Since the original plan is already stored digitally, updates can be made quickly—often within a few weeks—without the need for another site visit.
This flexibility is especially useful for businesses with frequent operational changes or those managing multiple locations that need regular compliance updates.

If your business operates in multiple locations, managing SPCC compliance for each site can be overwhelming. Scheduling separate on-site visits for multiple facilities is costly, time-consuming, and inefficient.
With a remote SPCC plan, businesses with multiple locations can:
For companies with regional offices, warehouses, or multiple production sites, an online SPCC process ensures consistent, cost-effective compliance across the board.
Not every facility requires an on-site consultant to get a compliant SPCC plan. If your operation has:
✔️ A straightforward oil storage setup
✔️ Clearly defined secondary containment
✔️ Access to digital site plans and storage details
…then a remote SPCC plan is a faster, more affordable, and equally effective solution.
Even if you’re not sure whether your facility qualifies for a virtual plan, we can help. Our experts can review your setup and let you know if a remote SPCC plan is the right fit—or if an on-site visit is necessary.
