Frequently Asked Questions
What is secondary containment?
Secondary containment is a system that captures spills, leaks, or overflows from a primary storage container. EPA regulations (40 CFR 112) require secondary containment for above-ground oil storage facilities that could reasonably discharge into navigable waters. The containment must hold at least 110% of the largest single container's volume.
What size containment tank do I need?
Your containment system must hold at least 110% of the volume of the largest tank or container it protects. For a 275-gallon fuel tank, you need a 275-gallon or larger containment basin. We carry 275, 550, and 1,000-gallon options to match standard fuel tank sizes.
Are quick-deploy berms SPCC compliant?
Quick-deploy berms can be part of an SPCC plan for temporary operations, mobile equipment, and field work. For permanent installations, hard-wall containment basins or spill pallets are typically required. Consult your environmental compliance officer for specific requirements.
