Pollution Prevention

The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Minerals Management Service (MMS) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulate oil spill prevention and response. A spill of only one gallon of oil can contaminate a million gallons of water, so operators should be proactive when it comes to developing and maintaining spill procedures. The staff at John Chance is dedicated to helping oil & gas operators assess and prepare the appropriate plans and manuals that your facilities require.
