§ 34A-18-2. Oil spill response plan required.

Each crude oil pipeline operator which is issued a permit from the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission under the Energy Conversion and Transmission Facilities Act shall prepare an oil spill response plan. An oil spill response plan must plan for resources for responding, to the maximum extent practicable, to a worst case discharge, and to a substantial threat of such a discharge. Each response plan must include, but not be limited to:

(1)    Immediate notification procedures;

(2)    Spill detection and mitigation procedures;

(3)    The name, address, and telephone number of the oil spill response organization, if appropriate;

(4)    Response activities and response resources;

(5)    Names and telephone numbers of federal, state, and local agencies which the operator expects to have pollution control responsibilities or support;

(6)    Training procedures;

(7)    Equipment testing;

(8)    Drill types, schedules, and procedures; and

(9)    Plan review and update procedures.

No oil spill response plan is effective until it is approved by the department.
