Regulatory Framework in the Field of Oil and Oil Product Spill Prevention and Response: Analysis of Changes and Ways of Interaction
Abstract
Today, when the technological process is developing and improving every day, the share of industrial facilities that use various hazardous substances in their technological process is steadily increasing. Such substances include oil, as well as petroleum products. Spills of oil and petroleum products as a result of various accidents cause very serious harm to the environment and colossal material damage to the enterprise. Therefore the Government, in order to prevent such situations as well as to ensure timely response to emergencies that have occurred, provides for development, approval and coordination in the prescribed manner of plans on prevention and liquidation of oil and petroleum product spills (OSR Plan). The article summarizes the currently available changes in the legislation on OSR Plans and analyzes the data on the newly developed OSR Plans that are available in the public domain. Using the summarized data obtained, a checklist for organizations to develop and approve the above document in Rosprirodnadzor was prepared.
