10 Streamlined SPCC Plan Benefits Simplifies effort required to update the Plan Standard plan would require text revisions for amendments Entire plan would be reissued Only appendix affected by qualifying change must be revised Easy to send replacement pages Reduces costs significantly Plans can cost $3K-$10K depending on size of facility Streamlined revisions can be completed for 1/3 (or less) of the cost. 10

11 Streamlined SPCC Plan Site Examples 11

12 Summary Facilities that require SPCC Plans must maintain and revise plans as necessary Industries that use mobile storage units tend to have more need for amendments Designing the SPCC Plan to easily accommodate operational changes will save industries time and money. 12
