WITT O'BRIEN'S 2020 VIRTUAL COMPLIANCE WORKSHOP

Details

Our 6th Annual Compliance Workshop took place on November 17. Although this year's workshop took the form of a virtual webinar due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are excited to announce we had record-breaking participation. The workshop featured key national program representatives, including a Region 6 Inspector from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discussing Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan and Facility Response Plan (FRP) regulations.

This workshop's intent was to afford companies that have an established national foothold or those struggling with compliance issues related the ability to engage with key players who oversee the SPCC and FRP programs on a national basis.

A tremendous amount of valuable information was shared throughout the day and we thank our presenters for their time and insight. Our presenters included:

  • Mark Howard, USEPA OEM/RID Oil Program, SPCC Program Headquarters Program Owner Bio
  • Troy Swackhammer, USEPA OEM/RID Oil Program, FRP Program Headquarters Program Owner Bio
  • Chris Perry, USEPA Region 6 Oil Program, FRP/SPCC Inspector Bio
