UPSS Environment Protection Plan

The UPSS Regulation requires the development of an Environment Protection Plan (EPP) for a UPSS that must be retained on-site. The EPP must contain the documented procedures and records relating to the UPSS that are specified in clause 19 of the Regulation.

As specified in the Regulation, the EPP must include:

• specific information about the storage system, including identifying the 'person responsible' for the system
• a loss monitoring procedure
• an incident management procedure
• details about system maintenance
• the current 'as built' drawings for the system
• a plan for the storage site
• a copy of each list of industry standards that have been followed
• a copy of all specifications used.
