Is the phone number for the National Response Center posted onsite for immediate reporting of oil spills?
In addition to an SPCC plan, EPA requires that if a facility has an accidental release of an oil spill that meets federal reporting requirements (e.g., a discharge of oil that causes a discoloration or sheen on the surface of water, violates water quality standards, or causes a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the surface or on adjoining shorelines), the oil spill must be reported to the National Response Center (NRC) at 1-800-424-8802. Yes–NRC phone number is available on-site. √ No–NRC phone number is not available.
