ABSTRACT

Containment and control of oil leaks and spills at electric supply substations is a concern for electric utilities. e 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 signi™cant, and the adverse community response to any spill is becoming increasingly unacceptable.
