  • SPCC Basics: Compliance Tables
    Aug 4 2026

    You receive your updated SPCC Plan and notice a compliance table attached ... now what?

    In this episode of Tank Talk, Shannon and Haley break down one of the most misunderstood parts of an SPCC Plan: the compliance table (sometimes called implementation items). They discuss what these findings mean, why they exist, and what facility managers should do after receiving one.

    You'll learn:

    • What an SPCC compliance table actually is
    • The difference between required and recommended items
    • How to prioritize corrective actions
    • Why documenting progress matters
    • Some of the most common compliance issues found during SPCC inspections

    Plus, we've created a downloadable SPCC Compliance Quick Reference Guide (https://www.integrity-env.com/spcc-basics-compliance-tables) to help you prioritize findings and stay on track toward compliance.

  • The Million-Dollar Environmental Problems You Won’t Find in a Phase I
    Jul 7 2026

    Most industrial property acquisitions include a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment. Many also include a Phase II. But what if some of the biggest environmental liabilities aren't covered by either?

    In this episode of Tank Talk, Shannon and Haley explore the environmental compliance risks that often go unnoticed during due diligence and why those risks can impact valuation, profitability, financing, insurance, and future operations long after a deal closes.

    From missing permits and poor recordkeeping to overdue inspections, infrastructure documentation gaps, and compliance history, the team discusses the operational environmental issues that buyers, sellers, lenders, and investors should evaluate before acquiring industrial assets.

    Whether you're involved in mergers and acquisitions, private equity, commercial lending, or industrial facility operations, this episode provides practical insight into the environmental risks that may not appear in a traditional Phase I or Phase II assessment.

    Because when it comes to industrial acquisitions, contamination isn't the only environmental liability worth investigating.

  • Inspection Prep for Facility Managers
    Jun 2 2026

    Agency inspections are a routine part of operating a bulk fuel facility, but that doesn’t make them any less stressful. In this episode of Tank Talk, Shannon breaks down what inspectors are actually looking for, how facilities can prepare ahead of time, and the common issues that can turn a smooth inspection into a difficult one.

    From recordkeeping and staff preparedness to housekeeping, secondary containment areas, and spill response equipment, this episode walks through practical steps terminal managers can take before inspectors arrive on site. Shannon also shares insights from her time as a former state inspector, including real-world examples of inspection responses that help - and ones that definitely don’t.

    Whether you’re preparing for a Coast Guard, EPA, or State of Alaska inspection, this episode offers straightforward guidance to help your team feel more confident, organized, and ready.
