Such material will be furnished by Contactor and approved by Contracting Officer.

Servicing of all equipment shall be done only in the areas approved by the Contracting Officer. If the total oil or oil products storage exceeds 1320 gallons or if any single container exceeds a capacity of 660 gallons, the Contractor shall prepare a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan.
