About: Farmers Undertake Environmental Land Stewardship Act

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Farmers Undertake Environmental Land Stewardship Act (H.R. 311) is a bill that would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to modify the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule, which regulates oil discharges into navigable waters and adjoining shorelines. The rule requires certain farmers to develop an oil spill prevention plan that is certified by a professional engineer and may require them to make infrastructure changes. According to supporters, this bill would "ease the burden placed on farmers and ranchers" by making it easier for smaller farms to self-certify and raising the level of storage capacity under which farms are exempted. These rules apply to any storage units that contain oil, whether petroleum products or animal fats.
