Stormwater (SWPPP) & Spill Prevention (SPCC) Training
Instructor-led, on-site SWPPP and SPCC training delivered bilingually in English and Spanish — annual stormwater employee training under NPDES industrial general permits and SPCC-required annual briefings for oil-handling personnel under 40 CFR 112.7(f). Covers best management practices, spill response and reporting, and inspection and recordkeeping, with training records for every worker.
Overview
Instructor-led environmental training delivered at your facility, built around your own plans — bilingually in English and Spanish. Every course covers annual SWPPP employee training and SPCC oil-handling briefings, best management practices, and spill response, with a competency quiz and training records for each worker.
What the Course Covers
SWPPP and SPCC each carry their own annual training expectations. Our course delivers both — stormwater employee training and SPCC oil-handling briefings — around the plans your facility already has.
How Every Course Runs
Built around your actual plans and your actual site — the staff who handle materials and oil, and the people responsible for inspections and recordkeeping.
Training frequency and recordkeeping are part of the permit. NPDES industrial stormwater general permits generally require SWPPP employee training at least annually, and 40 CFR 112.7(f) requires SPCC discharge-prevention briefings for oil-handling personnel at least once a year. Both expect you to keep training records available for inspection. We can put your facility on a recurring annual schedule so briefings and documentation never lapse.
Training That Matches Your Plans
A SWPPP or SPCC Plan is only as effective as the people carrying it out. Generic environmental training doesn't teach workers your drainage areas, your oil-storage tanks, or your specific BMPs. Our consultants build the session around your existing plans — and if you also need those plans written or updated, our Storm Water Plans and SPCC Plans services can develop them, then train your staff on the result in the same engagement.

Frequently asked questions
Is this training available in Spanish?
Yes — every part of the course is available bilingually. Our consultants deliver the classroom session and the competency quiz in English, Spanish, or both, so every worker is trained in the language they understand best — which matters especially for spill response, when everyone needs to know what to do without hesitation.
How often is SWPPP and SPCC training required?
NPDES industrial stormwater general permits generally require SWPPP employee training at least annually, and the SPCC rule at 40 CFR 112.7(f) requires discharge-prevention briefings for oil-handling personnel at least once a year. Exact frequency and content depend on your specific permit and SPCC Plan. We can put your facility on a recurring annual schedule so neither lapses.
Who needs SPCC training?
Under 40 CFR 112.7(f), oil-handling personnel must be trained on the operation and maintenance of equipment to prevent oil discharges, applicable pollution control laws, and the facility's SPCC Plan — and they must receive discharge-prevention briefings at least annually. That typically includes anyone who fills, transfers, inspects, or maintains oil-storage or oil-handling equipment at your site.
What's the difference between SWPPP and SPCC training?
SWPPP training is about stormwater — keeping pollutants out of rain runoff under your NPDES industrial general permit — and applies broadly to employees whose activities could affect stormwater. SPCC training is about oil — preventing and responding to oil discharges to navigable waters under 40 CFR part 112 — and targets oil-handling personnel specifically. Many industrial sites have both programs, which is why we cover them together in one visit.
Do you also write our SWPPP and SPCC plans?
Yes. Our Storm Water Plans and SPCC Plans services develop and update the plans themselves. This training service teaches your staff to carry out the plans you have — and if you need the plans written or refreshed first, we can develop them and then train your team on the result in the same engagement.
Does completing this training make our facility compliant?
Training is one required piece of your stormwater and SPCC programs, not the whole of it. Compliance also depends on having a current, adequate SWPPP and SPCC Plan, implementing the control measures and BMPs they describe, conducting required inspections, and keeping records. Our training supports compliance by documenting that your workers were trained on the plans and their responsibilities, but overall compliance is the facility's determination based on the complete program.
