ABSTRACT
Containment and control of oil leaks and spills at electric supply substations is a concern for electric utilities. The environmental impact of oil spills and their cleanup is governed by regulatory authorities necessitating increased attention in substations to the need for secondary oil containment and a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan. Beyond the threat to the environment, cleanup costs associated with oil spills could be significant, and the adverse community response to any spill is becoming increasingly unacceptable.
